TWO - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, January 27, 1993 « Costa Rican 4-H leader participates in Elks Hoop Shoot contest winners exchange program who is coordinating the visit. The 4-S program is similar to 4-H in the U.S. The Costa Rican visitors will be looking for ideas they can adapt in their own work as they observe 4-H programs and ac tivities in 14 counties. They also hope to learn more about U.S. culture during their visit, Schauber said. They were welcomed to Oregon January 14 by OSU Provost Roy Arnold and other OSU officials during an orientation session in Corvallis. The idea for the exchange started when Schauber was in Costa Rica last year on sabbatical leave to study Spanish and Cen tral American culture. Costa Rica and Oregon have a long relationship as sister states in the Partners of the Americas program. OSU Extension agents and specialists have visited Costa Rica several times, while Orego nians have hosted Costa Rican professionals and workers in terested in learning more about such topics as commercial fishing. The Costa Rican 4-S profes sionals will observe 4-H pro grams in Morrow, Clatsop. Deschutes, Harney, Josephine, Klamath. Lane, Lincoln, Marion, Multnomah, Wasco, Washington and Yamhill counties and on the Warm Springs Reservation.

Morales currently has a 15 year-old daughter who is staying in Michigan on a 4-H youth exchange. Last year the Morales family hosted a girl from Bend at their home. Morales spent a week at the Broderick home in Hermiston. then spent a week in Bend at the home of Kim Evans, the girl his family hosted last year. He will stay with the Broderick family another week before he returns home. He says he will not be able to visit his daughter in Michigan because of the expense. While Morales speaks very lit tle English, he says he is enjoy ing his visit in the U.S. Because Morales speaks little English and Broderick speaks little Spanish, Broderick says that it has been a real challenge to communicate. The two employ a Spanish, English handheld processor. B roderick’s w ife, Laura, however, is bilingual. “ We’ve really enjoyed the experience,” said Broderick. “ This is the first time we’ve hosted a foreign ex change student.” Morales is from the town of Guanacaste, a fairly small town near San Jose, Costa Rica.

Scanlan, new priest at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Heppner, brings 36 years of experience to his new position. Father Scanlan, 65, entered seminary in 1949 at St. John’s at Brighton, Massachusetts, in Boston and was ordained in 1957. He first came to Eastern Oregon when he volunteered to serve in the Diocese of Baker, which covers all of eastern Oregon. Father Scanlan served 2 Vi years at The Dalles, two years at Klamath Falls, one year at Baker City and Ontario, four years at Bums as an assistant priest, four years at Bonanza, which is around 15 miles east of Klamath Falls, nine years at Chiloquin, which is 30 miles north of Klamath Falls and 12 years as parish priest at Bums. He came to Heppner on November 14. Bom and raised in Boston, Father Scanlan hails from Irish parentage. His paternal great grandfather was bom in County Waterford, Ireland, and his maternal grandmother was bom in County Cork. Father Scanlan has a sister who lives in Portland and two brothers who live in Boston. His father John J. was a fireman in Boston. Father Scanlan himself was assis tant volunteer fire chief and an EMT II at Chiloquin. Back in juries, however, prevent him from continuing his fire depart ment volunteer work. Father Scanlan served two years in the Navy as a radio man on a submarine tender at Key West, Florida. Commenting on his assignment in Heppner, Father Scanlan said. “ I just want to be a good priest and serve the people. They’re good people. I expect to stay here awhile,” he added. Krein says that most of the wildlife is not a problem because they are staying in the CRP grass. Some, however, are destroying crops. Dustin Padberg says that around 300 to 500 elk have migrated on the Marvin Padberg place down Willow Creek, around four miles up Rhea Creek Road. The elk are eating bunch grass on the plateau near his place during the daytime and are com ing down into the flats during the night, bedding down in the CRP. cont Around 150-200 deer have also wandered on to the Padberg place. “ The deer are more of a pro blem,” Padberg said, because they are eating their canola. Canola comes up as a cabbage like plant and lies dormant until the growing season, said Padberg. “ The deer are eating the leaves and destroying the crop.” He said that they run the deer off with snowmobiles, but they just come back. “ It’s neat to see them,” said Padberg, but added, “ not if they eat the canola.” Free income tax assistance provided According to Woodside, TAX- Free income tax assistance will AIDE counselors are trained to be available to the community starting Monday, February 1, assist with basic tax forms and through the TAX-AIDE program questions.
