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

becoming a CASA, call Services

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.
