Wanted: a few caring volunteers Did you ever wonder what happens to the kids in our county who have been neglect ed and/or abused? Have you ever made that phone call to Services to Children and Fami lies, to the police department or to a teacher to report your sus picions that a child needed help because of an abusive situa tion? Did you have trouble not thinking about the look on the little boy's face when he was hit? Do you have some extra time in your life that you would like to devote to something that would made a big difference? Perhaps you would be a good CASA volunteer. A CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) is a person who has a genuine interest in children, their rights and spe- ial needs. Appointed by the court at the time a petition is fil ed in juvenile court, a person serving as a CASA looks out for the needs and rights of the child. Abused or neglected children need this advocate, says John McCabe of the Mor row County Juvenile Dept. "A CASA must be an asser tive person who likes kids, but is not a counselor,” states Kim Camine, manager of Service to Children and Families Division in Boardman. "Our CASAs in terview teachers, parents, counselors, anybody who has a stake in the kid's life and w ithin 60 days make a report to the court that assesses the needs of the kid. A CASA could be a retired teacher, a housewife. We even have a retired minister who is a CASA.” "These dedicated people maintain contact with the child, family and appropriate agen cies and monitor compliance with orders of the court by all parties," added McCabe. Although this is a volunteer position, a CASA is reimburs ed for expenses related to travel. Time must be set aside to devote to training sessions, investigations, court appear ances and follow-up contacts, A firm commitment of time and effort to the assigned child must be made over an extend ed period of time. To volunteer as a CASA or for more information about becoming a CASA, call Services to Children and Families, Kim C am ine in Boardman, 481-9482; or call Carolyn Holt in Heppner, 676-5641.

Hummingbirds lone Garden Club topic Eva Lou Greiner of Condon presented a program on hum mingbirds at the lone Garden Club meeting Wednesday, Nov. 8, at the home of Corrine Miles. Greiner said hummingbirds need food such as small insects and sugar water or flower nec tar. The trumpet-type of blos soms and bright colors of red and yellow draw the humm ingbirds. Feeders need to be cleaned often and are best hung in the shade. Sugar water made in a 1 to 4 proportion of sugar to water is best and should be boiled a few minutes to kill any foreign matter. Water is also necessary, as it is for all birds. Hummingbirds like shallow containers so that they can also bathe in the water. Sharon Hamner, #10 district director, also of Condon, told members about the OSFGC meeting she attended. Hamner reminded the members that the National President's theme is "A Million Trees" and said she hoped the lone club would record all trees planted in our area for this project. The club hopes that other people in the lone Community will contact them if they have planted any trees this year. 8 x 1 0 =stmsen Color PORTRAITS Portrait o n ly $2.9 9 _ welcome groups $1.00 sxtra per person Murray’s Drug W e d n e sd a y , N o v. 29th 12:00 noon to 5:00 p.m . ‘Beecher’s 'Restaurant in lone Wednesday, Nov. 22nd- Seniors Night with for your dining and listening pleasure Tim CundelVs music We will be closed Nov. 23rd and 24th M o rro w County G ra in G row ers INC. 350 Main Lexington, Ore. 1-503-989-8221 1-800-452-7396 Wasco) Ore. 1-503-442-5781 1-800-824-7185 Happy Tlumhgimg Ifim Beeclw't tstaM Plan your HOLIDAY PARTY Call Betty Gray, 422-7038 get your card punched Mem ber Jeweler« of America.
