RSVP program
honors volunteers
The Retired Senior Volunteer
Program (RSVP) recognized
volunteers in Heppner recently.
Morrow County provides over
100 volunteers of the force of 450
serving in Morrow and UmatiUa
counties.
RSVP is a program that has
been in Morrow and UmatiUa
Counties for over 15 years. In
1991 the program contributed
nearly 90,000 hours of volunteer
service in activities ranging from
senior centers to office work.
“ We are fortunate in our com
munities to have these RSVP
volunteers,” said project direc
tor Linda Showaker. “ However
we realize that there are those out
tlieie that would like to volunteer,
but are not familiar with how to
go about it. For those folks we in
vite them to call us or send a post
card. We will in turn visit with
them to find what kind of ex
perience they would like to have
and set about to create that oppor
tunity,” she added. The RSVP
program has accident and liability
insurance to cover volunteers
while they are serving.
RSVP is a program of action,
the federal domestic volunteer
agency which helps provide over
450,000 vounteers each year to
public and private non-profit
agencies who serve as sponsors.
RSVP offers those age 60 and
over a meaningful life in retire
ment through community
volunteer service, allowing them
to serve on a regular basis in a
variety of settings. “ Experience
of a lifetime continues after retire
ment and allows us all to gain
from the generosity of these
seniors,” said Showaker.

volunteering contact Showaker at

Have you ever wondered how
a fair foods judge decides which
cookie is the best of all cookie en
tries? What does the judge really
want to see when she’s judging
a fair cooking contest? You can
find the answers to these and
other questions about "Cooking
for Competition” at the 1992 4-H
Home Economics/^xpressive
Arts prefair on Saturday, June 20
at the M orrow
County
Fairgrounds.
Keynote presenter will be
JoAnne Kock, 4-H agent for
Sherman county. JoAnne is a
well-known fair judge and recent
ly conducted a statewide training
to refresh current judges and
educate new foods judges.
“ JoAnne has offered “ Cooking
for Competition” at 4-H events
in Hood River and Wasco coun
ties,” commented Carol Michael-
Bennett, Morrow County 4-H
agent. “ We have waited several
years for an opening in JoAnne’s
schedule. We are so fortunate to
have her expertise at ‘92 pre-fair.
I hope 4-H members, leaders and
parents will make a special effort
to be at the fairgrounds Saturday
morning June 20 from 8:45 a.m.
to 12:15 p.m .”

pressive Arts pre-fair is a free

more.

Chamber Chatter
By Claudia Hugh««, Chamber Manager
Birds o f a feather don’t
necessarily flock together...some
are very independent. An in
teresting scenario has been occur
ring on our front porch where
bamswallows have chosen a cozy
alcove to nest for the past four
years. We learned up front that
it was useless to tear the nest
down unless it could be
monitored every minute of every
day. Each year these creatures of
habit have added another layer of
mud. This year I noticed change,
twigs were hanging, interwoven
with a feather strategically plac
ed, as if to stake a territorial
claim. A day at home gave me the
opportunity to observe that a pair
of wrens were placing a high
priority on moving into this nest
with a few changes to suit their
needs. One minute the bam
swallows are there pulling out
twigs, the next determined wrens
are putting them back. The ter
ritorial feather is removed, put
back and removed again. While
the bamswallows, who were
there first, divebomb and scold,
the wren works diligently singing
while they complain. How is this
democratic progress going to
work or will it be an ongoing
fight? When and if eggs hatch,
will baby wrens and bam
swallows share the nest, hatched
by one or both parents, or will the
nest deteriorate with no one
benefitting and the eggs rotting?
Will one pair back off and move
elsewhere or will feathers fly?
They are wasting valuable time
defining territory. Is it time for
a change for all concerned? We
could just hose down the nest, but
I have a feeling they would try to
rebuild...human nature. Guess
life is just one continuous
challenge after another for every
living thing.
Next week at chamber: Roger
Trueax, representing Lions Club
International will be guest
speaker. Local Lions and in
terested persons are welcome to
attend. Our local Lions Club has
helped the community in many
ways. One of the many important
organizations in Heppner.

relatives and leaders are en
couraged to attend with members.
“ Parents are responsible for help
ing their children pre-register for
fair exhibits and contests, as well
as getting them to the right activi
ty at the proper time,” points out
Michael-Bennett. “ Attending
prefair will give parents the
knowledge they need to support
their children’s fair involve
ment.”
P re-registration
is
not
necessary, but participants need
to bring a snack for the break.
The event begins with registration
at 8:45 a.m. and will be con
ducted in the 4-H annex building.

Heppner, on Saturday, June 20.
