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.

The 4-H exchange program is
not just for kids, anymore, adult
youth workers now participate
too.
Rafael Morales, a 4-H adult
leader in Costa Rica is staying
through the exchange program
with the family of Morrow Coun
ty Extension agent Bill Broderick.
A long time 4-H leader and
supporter. 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.
Morales and his wife, Lidieth,
have four children, Allen, 17,
Zahyra, 15, who is in Michigan,
Maribel, 11 and Tatiana, nine.

The snow not only creates pro
blems for drivers, but is making
life difficult for wildlife and
farmers.
Bob Krein of the Oregon
Department of Fish and Wildlife
says that the snow has driven the
elk down as far north as Baseline
Road, even though snow is not
crusted over. He reported around
400 head around Ruggs, which
have dispersed and moved down
country. “ I'm hoping that
warmer weather will get them to
turn around and go back up.” he
said.

The Rev. Thomas R. 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.”
