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

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.

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.

draped from the waist. 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.
