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,

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. Sites
for the program are established or
dormant depending on enroll
ment. For BMCC to be utilized
as a program site six students
need to enroll in the program.
For admission requirements,
registration information or further
information about the program,

rule for the kids is "have fun,”
the second, “ make a puppet,”
and the third is “ stay in your
seat.” And, from observation,
the kids seem to somehow ac
complish all three, even resisting
the temptation to get up to wash
their hands after encountering
sticky wheat paste.
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. Agencies that
are to receive funds from United
Way of Morrow County’s 1991
campaign also attended. It was
announced that the 1991 cam
paign goal for pledges and con
tributions would be exceeded
thanks to the generosity of coun
ty businesses and residents.
Established in 1984, United
Way of Morrow County’s mis
sion has always been to be a vehi
cle through which locally

distributed to those in need in our
immediate area. All funds raised
here are utilized here, none are
allocated to agencies or in
dividuals outside county boun
daries, said a group spokesper
son.
Most of the money collected is
dispersed through an allocation
process to local non-profit agen
cies such as senior centers, day
care establishm ents, youth
organizations, Christmas basket
programs and emergency ser
vices. The remaining portion is
set aside in a Disaster Relief Fund
to help those whose lives have
been adversely affected by some
catastrophe. In the past year, a
family in the Northern Morrow
County area received funds when
their mobile home was destroyed
by fire.
United Way of Morrow Coun
ty is unique in Oregon in that it
is the only 100 percent volunteer
United Way organization, no
member is compensated for their
services or time. This makes for
a small but committed group,
dedicated to helping Morrow
County meet its human services
needs. For more information
about donating money, receiving
funds or being a volunteer please
