Local area sophomores,
including Knsti Worden of
Heppner High School, recently
attended the Oregon Youth
Leadership, Hugh O'Bnan Youth
Foundation seminar.
She joined more than 180
other high school sophomore
leaders from throughout the state
of Oregon in Wilsonville, March
21-24.
The Oregon Youth Leadership
Seminar, HOBY, brings together
a select group of high school
sophomores so that they can
interact
with
groups
of
distinguished leaders in business,
government, education and the
professions to discuss present
and future issues. The goal is to
provide the youths an unique
forum for learning about the
American incentive system and
democratic process and for
broadening their understanding
of their leadership potential and
quest for self development.
The seminar challenges them to
think about the world around
them and what they, as the future
leaders, have to do to positively
influence business, government,
and society.
They also better
understand that their goals and
dreams are important and that
T ip s
leaders
have
extreme
responsibility in whatever walk
of life they pursue.
The Hugh O'Brian Youth
Foundation was established by
the
actor Hugh O'Brian
following a visit to Africa where
he was inspired by a meeting
with Dr. Albert Schweitzer.
"One of the things Schweitzer
said to me was that the most
important thing in education was
to teach young people to think
for themselves," O'Brian says.
"From that inspiration, and with
the support of others who believe
in youth and the American
Dream, I started HOBY to seek
out, recognize, develop and
reward outstanding leadership
potential among our nation's
youth."
Local students are usually
sponsored by area Kiwanis clubs,
Federation of Woman's Clubs,
Jaycees or local businesses.
Support from these local
organizations not only covers the
students seminar costs, but gives
that student additional contacts
in the local community, said a
seminar news release.
For more information about the
seminar, contact David Schafer
at 503-682-3343.
T a k e p r e c a u t io n s w it h a ir b a g s
A lot of media attention has
been given to the dangers posed
to children by automobile air
bags. Air bags save lives, but
they work best when everyone is
using seat belts and children are
properly restrained in the back
seat.
Children riding in the front seat
can be injured or killed when an
air bag deploys because an air
bag bursts from the dashboard at
up to 200 miles per hour, says
Carol Michael, Oregon State
University Extension home
economist in Morrow and
Umatilla counties.
The National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA)
is developing criteria for
advanced air bag systems that
can sense a person's weight and
regulate the inflation rate of the
air bag. In the meantime, the
NHTSA has the following safety
tips to offer to families who
transport children:
-Children 12 and under should
ride buckled up in a rear seat.
-Infants in rear-facing child
safety seats should never ride in
the front seat of a vehicle with a
passenger side air bag.
-Small children should nde in a
rear seat in child safety seats
approved for their age and size.
-If a child over one year of age
must ride in the front seat with a
passenger side air bag, put the
child in a front facing child
safety seat, a booster seat, or a
correct fitting lap-and-shoulder
belt and move the seat as far
back as possible.
For adults, the NHTSA
recommends that both the driver
and front passenger seats be
placed as far back as practical,
particularly for shorter people.
offered for healthy foods
Child day care providers are
responsible for meeting much of
a young child's nutritional needs.
"It's not unusual for a child day
care provider to be responsible
for the majority of meals and
snacks a child eat in a day," says
Carol Michael, Oregon State
University Extension home
economist in Morrow and
Umatilla counties.
The OSU Extension Service
has a publication and videotape
that give tips on feeding young
children.
"Growing Healthy
Bodies: Nutrition education for
Day Care Providers" (PNW 394)
discusses fun ways to introduce
new foods and suggests ways to
prepare nutritious and appealing
snacks. It also gives advice on
dealing with picky eaters and
helping overweight children.
The 30-minute videotape (PNW
002-VT) also addresses common
sense issues faced by child care
providers and parents.
The videotape and bulletin
allow the day care provider or
parents, to gain valuable
knowledge and skills at their
convenience.
"This is information that can be
viewed at home at any time of
day,"
says
Holly
Berry,
Extension home economist in
Marion County and co-author of
the training package.
A typical day for a child care
provider may start with the
arrival of the first child as early
as 6 a.m. and end when the last
child is picked up at 6 p.m. That
makes for a long day. "After
caring for their own family, a
child care provider doesn’t have
much time left to attend trainings
and workshops," says Berry.
Parents today have pretty full
days, too. Information in the
home study program will be
helpful for them, if they find
themselves wondering about
feeding their young child.
The videotape and publication
can be purchased as a package
for $35 from Extension and
Station Communications, 422
Kerr Administration Building,
OSU, Corvallis OR 9733 1 -2119,
telephone 541-737-2513.
