She is the mother o f two sons, Anthony Michael and Curtis Kevin. Beginning early July 2001, McLain will assume her new duties as area financial executive to the Methodist Churches of Kenya and the East Africa Conference. These are separate conferences with a total of five countries, Rwanda, Burundi. Uganda. Kenya and Tanzania. Her office will be in Nairobi, Kenya * X Chamber Chatter By Claudia Hughes, C h a m b e r Executive M anag er Janice McLain Janice McLain, a United Methodist Missionary in Liberia.

The public is invited to attend. For more information, phone the church office.676-9224. McLain, member and former administrator of Woodbum Llnited Methodist Church, Woodbum. has been serving as a United Methodist missionary in Monrovia, Liberia, since January 1995. She has served as the financial officer for the United Methodist Church in Liberia, working closely with Bishops Arthur Kulah and John Innis and leaders of the Liberia Annual Conference. She also serves on the board of directors for "Operation Classroom", attending meetings in Indiana. During 1992-93 she served as a volunteer at Luckau Mission, Lebowa, South Africa. Her work there included teaching commercial skills. Reflecting on her service, McLain said, "My work with students in the homeland in South Africa was a time of learning, sharing and love. God's presence in my life became much stronger and I know He was guiding me into full-time mission service." As she was preparing to depart for Liberia she commented, "The Liberian Conference asked for assistance. They needed someone to do the work and I needed to go." In April 1996, the Liberian civil war escalated. McLain and all other persons at risk were evacuated from Monrovia. After four months in the U.S., she returned to Man, Ivory Coast, where she served the Libenan people until it was safe to return to Monrovia. Since then there have been many rebuilding projects in churches, schools and hospitals. McLain has reported that the Ganta UM Hospital has treated numerous people injured in the fighting. And she says, "Schools continue to teach our children... Oregon/Idaho Conference churches have helped 274 children to go to school for the academic year (2000-2001)." McLain is a native of Paola, Kansas. Candler School of Theology, Emory University in Atlanta, certified her as church business administrator. As well as serving the Woodbum church she MC Health Dept.

This week is National Small Business Week, the opportunity to say "thank you" to our small business owners who keep business alive and well in Heppner. It isn't always an easy task, going to market, figuring out what and how much of a product customers want, what new items will be popular, or what old items to retain or discard. Business owners have to provide the structure, the inventory, the expertise, patience to abide by new rules and regulations, hire employees and have the energy and enthusiasm to keep going and going and going. They are facing competition with the big chain stores as they strive to provide quality products, service and jobs for Heppner. They, like everyone else, experience burnout. Give them a pat on the back and your support. We would be a ghost town without them. A recent article in "myBusmess" discussed five ways to get back to basics in your business and life. Increased choices complicate our lives. Many have more "stuff than ever but not enough of what really counts: time with family, enjoyment of each day and spiritual fulfillmerit. In brief, here are the five mentioned ways to slow down and start the journey toward simple living: * Focus on what you are passionate about (don't carry products or purchase those you don't believe in); * Take control of your business and life (you can't take time for things you enjoy unless you cut out something else); * Change your definition of success (realizing that standard of living does not equal quality of life gives new meaning to "money can't buy happiness"); * Live your life and run your business consistent with your values (success is measured not only by profitability but by health of employees, relationships and creating a positive future); And finally, * Get rid of clutter (stop junk mailings and phone solicitation, recycle more and waste less, donate to those who need your "stuff' and pitch the rest). Through simplicity we can ensure that work provides a sense of purpose that goes beyond just making money to making a life. Good luck. I pledge to remove a sack from my home or office every time I walk out of the door holding the thought, "Practice what you preach." Remind me. Next week at Chamber, "Technology In Heppner" with Nate Arbogast.
