TWO - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, October 6, 1993 Heppner’s Mary Goheen visits Kenya Africa M ary Goheen in A frica From Siberia to Antarctica, Heppner’s Mary Goheen takes pleasure in seeing many parts of the world. But this year she ‘went native’ on a recent wildlife safari to Africa. Experiencing this wild land of bush and plains ’’was something that I never thought I would do,” she said. But instead of bringing back a trophy to hang on her wall, she brought back dozens of wildlife pictures that were taken while touring in an open-topped Land Cruiser. On August 21, she flew from Portland to San Francisco. Next stop was London before flying to Kenya, the capitol city of Nairobi. Goheen said she was surprised to see so many high-rise buildings in this modem city with a population of over 10 million people. However, she said, in sharp contrast there are many huts surrounding this city where ■people lived in very primitive conditions. On this 15-day African photo safari, Goheen’s 14 traveling companions first stayed at the Windsor Golf and Country Club, a very plush resort resembling a large estate. They were also guests at a mountain lodge call ed The Ark where guests could view the wildlife as they came for water at a nearby lake. In this land close to the equator at an elevation of around 6,000 feet the days were quite hot and the nights were very chilly, she said. Most of the places that they stayed were not heated, she said, so it was a welcome treat to find a hot water bottle tucked into their beds every evening. Goheen also had her picture taken with the chief of the Sam buru village. She said she was surprised to see that these people were very tall and slender. In their village that comprised native huts, they also had many camels and goats. Women often make or namental jewelry from native materials and bones. The men were dressed in colorful material Singspiration set at Baptist church The monthly singspiration sponsored by the Ministerial Association will be hosted by the Lexington Baptist Church Oc tober 10 at 7 p.m. Special music is requested and personal favorites will be solicited from the audience. Refreshments will be served following the singspiration. Everyone is invited to attend regardless of church affiliation.

Continues through Oct. 16th ¡3h If you’ve spent hours looking for a car title or insurance policy, you’ve experienced the frustra tions caused by not knowing where important family records are kept. ‘‘You can avoid that frustration easily by organizing your family records in a functional, careful ly designed storage system that eliminates anxious searching dur ing a crisis,” points out Donna G regerson, OSU Extension Home Economist in Benton County. Developing a system is easy, she notes. ‘‘You need a place to keep records, a routine for atten ding to records, and a person responsible for record keeping.” “ Organizing Your Family Records” , available from the OSU Extension Service, will help families get their records in order. The publication reviews appropriate storage, suggests records you need to keep, and in cludes suggested categories, such as medical files and financial records, that should be kept in permanent files. Gregerson, who wrote the publication, points out that while each household must develop its own record storage system, guidelines in the bulletin can help get a system started. “ Organizing Your Family Records” , EC 1302, is available for $1 a copy from the Morrow County Extension Office, PO Box 397, Heppner or from the Publications Orders, Agricultural Communications, OSU Ad ministrative Services A422, Cor vallis, 97331-2119. l o i 317 Talk about premeditated actions, the night before the hunting season opened my blooming rose bushes were severely trimmed and a small tree was mutilated. Those silent night stalkers weren t disturbed by the attack cat snoozing under the deck or our watch dog snoring in the bam. With this July-type weather in October and the tire danger high, it’s not the best kind of hunting weather. Although deer don t seem as plentiful in our part of the open foothill country, road hunters streamed by like the persistent wasps and dustbugs trying to take up house residence. However I don’t have to go on a personal hunting crusade to target some debatable news that makes me see red without any bloodshed. For instance the census bureau estimates that the U.S. population will reach 392 million by the year 2050. That is 52 percent more people than the present 358 million Americans. Yet the U.S. con tinues to open its doors. Those claiming political asylum, like the many illegal immigrants, quietly integrate into society and they are seldom heard from again except when they need a handout or are caught up in the justice courts. Now there are 4,500 Cuban inmates housed in U.S. prisons that are supported by the taxpayers. Following expensive appeals, authorities are deporting 1,500 that have completed their sentences. But the story didn’t tell how many others are allowed to remain or how many are receiving welfare. How much savings will there be from the proposed cuts in agricultural programs that are one percent of the federal budget? Do the proposed increased public land grazing fees offset other govern ment costs? Meanwhile billions of dollars are handed to big corpora tions to advertise products in foreign countries. And where will the money come from to provide health insurance for small businesses with limited employees that are presently just getting by? America is already behind New Zealand, Brazil, Italy and other nations in the use of alternate fuels. Yet the administration is laun ching a major effort to triple automobile fuel efficiency. Car makers have continued to improve gas mileage and to lower pollution emis sions. However there is no federal program to aid the retooling of refineries to produce large quantities of reformulated fuels. Ethanol is made from natural gas or crop and forest residues or municipal solid wastes that now overburden landfills. Blended fuels do not require alteration of present vehicles. Methanol can also be produced from wood or crop feedstock wastes and natural gas. Most methanol now comes from natural gas, fuel that is usually lost in the manufacture of petroleum. Using waste products to make this country more energy efficient and cleaner would also provide millions of jobs. But the powerful oil companies have prevented this approach primarily through in fluential campaign contributions. So the government is now propos ing to spend millions of dollars in federal research to develop a more fuel-efficient automobile. Meanwhile increasing fuel taxation adds to a major expense in this country’s agriculture production that sup plies the cheapest food in the world. Well I guess I’ll no longer ‘smell the roses’ this season, but the deer that we subsidize can be forgiven for not knowing any better. However, if John Q. Public can see ways to improve the economy, it’s difficult to understand the rationale of decision makers that should care more about this country than they do about getting re-elected. r e le a s e s 4 -H s ta te fa ir r e s u lts By Delpha Jones The first of the series of card parties was held Oct. 4 at the Oddfellow Hall in Lexington.

However some of the women’s fashions were obviously garments donated by m issionaries and other benefactors, she said. At the Samburu Serna Lodge, 47 miles north of the equator, there were many wildlife tours on the Samburu National Reserve. And at Baringo Lake they saw many different types of birds as well as crocodiles and hip popotamuses. But a most fantastic sight, she said, was the thousands of colorful flamingos that lived near Lake Begoris in the Rift Valley. Their green fields and farms were a sharp contrast to most of the arid desert land. Goheen said she isn’t usually a ‘happy camper’ but she did sur vive three nights in a tent at the Kichiva Tembo Safari Camp. These unheated tents were erected on a concrete foundation and each tent had a bathroom with a shower. Guests were in structed to keep the tent openings secure to prevent baboons from ravishing their belongings, she said. After taking lots of pictures of giraffes, elephants and zebras, an interesting side trip during this tour was an airplane trip to Lake Victoria that covers 26,828 miles in East Africa and is one of the main sources of water that flows into the Nile River. Like a television scene, guests at the Safari Camp were wined and dined inside a large tent where tables covered with linen were set with china and silver. In contrast to the usual variety of American-type foods, the group had a banquet at the Carnivore Restaurant in Kenya on their last evening together. There among the sundry dishes including lots of pineapple, they were offered entrees of camel, crocodile and other native dishes, she said. “ Organizing Family Records’ ’ now available at Extension Office Heppner Elks 358 r676-9181 "Where Friends M e n " 142 N.
