Important tips on how to organize family records In the excitement of planning a wedding and starting a new household, it’s easy to forget some important financial and record keeping tasks. ' Alice Mills Morrow, Oregon State University Extension family econom ics specialist, em phasizes, “ it’s important to pay attention to financial and record keeping details as you begin this new phase of your life. For in stance, it’s easy to forget that your mother is the beneficiary of your life insurance and not your new spouse.” It’s also important for the new house hold to organize a family record storage system. Some records can be kept at home in a filing cabinet or desk. Others should be stored in a safe deposit box or fire-proof home safe. The system should include a place to keep records, a routine for atten ding to records and who is to be responsible for record keeping. Two OSU Extension publica tions are available to help. The first, “ When you Marry: Some Financial and Record Keeping Tasks,” FS 317, is available without charge. The se cond, “ Organizing Your Fami ly Records,” EC 1302, is available for 75 cents. Both publications may be obtained from the Morrow County Exten sion Service, Pettyjohn Office Building, H eppner (503) 676-9642. Blue Mountain Community college is one of the potential off- campus sites for the Portland State University Statewide Master of Business Administration Pro gram . Four students have graduated from the program which has been offered at BMCC since Fall 1989. Area residents interested in earning an accredited MBA degree but who have a full time job or family responsibilities may find PSU’s program a way to meet their educational needs. PSU’s MBA Program for distance learners allows students to remain in or near their com munities yet participate in classes via videotapes filmed one week earlier at similar classes on the PSU campus. The tapes are delivered to an established site, such as BMCC, and presented by a program coordinator. The coor dinator also serves as a facilitator and liaison between the students and the PSU Statewide MBA of fice. A toll-free telephone system allows students to access to facul ty and graduate assistants who answer questions and provide aid. PSU will begin a new statewide MBA program Fall Term 1992. Application for admission should begin now in order to avoid delays and missed deadlines. Ear ly application also allows pro gram coordinators sufficient time to organize the necessary network of locations and personnel site six students need to enroll in the of locations and personnel.

Walther, a free-lance artist, has a fulltime career in puppetry. During the school year he travels throughout the Pacific Northwest, including Alaska, California and Nevada, conducting artist-in- residence programs and lecturing at colleges and universities. After his two-week stint in Heppner, broken up by spring vacation, his itinerary includes LaPine, Sun River, North A lbany, Lincoln City and California. He also constructs puppets and in the summer per forms at different festivals and sells his puppets at fairs and Saturday markets. He has also worked as a psychiatric aide at Fairview, a residential facility for the mental ly retarded, and a Dammasch, the state psychiatric hospital. Walther’s interest in puppets was piqued when he received a puppet as a Christmas gift one year. “ That’s all it took,” he said. He now has a collection of 500 puppets, including puppets from all around the world. William Walther W illiam W alther is as mesmerizing as a puppet show. He should be. The puppeteer from Bend has been making, teaching, counseling, entertaining and earning a living with puppets for the last 18 years. As the artist-in-residence at Heppner Elementary School, Walther will take the children from puppet construction to presentation of a puppet show. His program is definitely “ hands on” , “ always audience participa tion,” he says. Walther teaches with gentle humor, corny jokes and brain teasers, but doesn’t leave out the discipline. His first Walther gets Heppner sixth graders involved in puppet making United Way elects officers United Way of Morrow Coun ty held its annual member’s meeting to review the previous year’s campaign and elect new officers.

All funds raised here are utilized here, none are allocated to agencies or in dividuals outside county boun daries, said a group spokesper son.

The remaining portion is set aside in a Disaster Relief Fund to help those whose lives have been adversely affected by some catastrophe.
