■ r ia Baby sitter training cou rse offered At the training, youth can learn what is expected while baby-sitting; how to conduct a bu sin ess; how to handle emergencies; how to stay in control in a variety of situa tions; the needs of children at different age levels; simple meals and snacks; and much more. Registration is on a first- come, first-serve basis. The registration fee of $4 will cover class materials. All participants need to bring a 3-ring binder and their own sack lunch each day. To register, contact the Mor row County extension office, 676-9642, or 1 800 342-3664 with your registration fee. Do you or someone you know ever wish for a trained, reliable baby sitter "on call"? Do you know of a youth, 11 years old or older, that would like to learn a valuable life skill and be trained to earn money at the same time? A good way to resolve these concerns might be to sponsor a youth, or encourage your own child, to participate in the baby sitter training to be con ducted on June 8-9 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Heppner Middle School cafeteria. This is the fourth year for this very successful program, says Carol Michael-Bennett, Morrow County Extension agent.
