their balance sheets for
blackboards to help fill the
need for financial educa-
tion.
“Studies show that
kids aren’t learning the
skills they need to make
smart financial decisions
FSA tree assistance now available
Assistance for or-
chardists and nursery tree
growers with weather-re­
lated losses can now be
obtained through the Tree
Assistance Program (TAP),
administered by the Farm
Service Agency. Signup
began Monday, May 10,
for growers to apply for
benefits under TAP at lo­
cal Farm Service Agency
(FSA) offices.
The Tree As­
sistance Program (TAP),
authorized in the 2008
Farm Bill, provides help
to orchard and nursery tree
growers who produce trees,
bushes and vines for com­
mercial purposes, to replant
or rehabilitate trees, bushes
and vines damaged or de­
stroyed by natural disasters.
Christmas tree and nursery
tree growers are now also
eligible. Trees grown for
pulp or timber or grown for
commercial purposes are
not eligible.
To be eligible for
TAP. producers must have
suffered more than a 15
percent death loss due to
which has been confiscated
shall only be returned to the
student’s parent/guardian.
“While attending school-
sponsored or school-relat­
ed activities, after regular
school hours, students may
possess and use personal
electronic communication
devices. The mere pos­
session of such devices
must not pose a threat to
academic integrity, disrupt
the learning environment
or violate the privacy rights
of other.
“A student who is
isolated and involved in a
school investigation will not
have access to any personal
electronic communication
device while the investiga­
tion is in process.
“Students are re­
sponsible for all electronic
devices they bring to school.
The school and the district
shall not be responsible for
the loss, theft, or destruc­
tion of such devices brought
onto school property, even
when confiscated. Further­
more, the district will not
investigate lost, stolen or
damaged devices.
The district also re­
vised the student handbook
to include the following: “If
a personal electronic com­
munication device is seen
or heard without adminis­
trative permission anytime
on school grounds, that
student will face the follow­
the natural disaster after
adjustment for normal mor­
tality. TAP is a cost-reim­
bursement program, with
payments covering up to
70 percent of replant costs
and 50 percent of pruning,
removal and other salvag­
ing costs for replacing or
salvaging damaged trees.
Producers can re­
ceive assistance for up to
500 acres of trees, bushes or
vines. Producers must also
have purchased a policy or
plan of insurance under the
Federal Crop Insurance Act
or Noninsured Crop Disas­
ter Assistance Program, or
for 2008 crop year a waiver
of the risk management pur­
chase requirement could be
obtained through a buy-in
provision. Eligible losses
must have occurred on or
after Jan. 1, 2008, and be­
fore Oct. 1, 2011.

as adults,” said Jeff Bailey,
President and CEO. “Com­
munities and schools teach
other life skills, such as
driving a car, but we don’t
spend enough time teaching
financial skills. Bankers are
in the schools this week to
help fill that gap and pre­
pare future customers for
financial success.” A sig­
nificant number of schools
were reached by the staff
of Bank of Eastern Oregon
in the eastern Oregon rural
communities it serves.
The lessons taught
included activities about
the concept of saving, how
interest makes money grow,
how to budget and deter­
mining needs and wants.
Bank of Eastern Oregon’s
employees visited a total
of 19 elementary schools in
its local banking communi­
ties. Along with the les­
sons, employees presented
these 1,586 students with a
calculator-ruler.
Since the American
Bankers Association Educa­
tion Foundation’s National
Teach Children to save Day
began in 1997, thousands of
bankers have taught money
skills to more than one mil­
lion students.
Bank of Eastern
Oregon offers the following
tips to help parents make
every day “Savings Day”:
-Help kids open
up their own bank savings
account and make deposits
regularly. Many banks have
children’s accounts that
have no fee or minimum­
balance requirements.
-Make going to the
bank fun. Some banks have
kids’ clubs where members
get newsletters or receive
balloons when they make
a deposit.
-Kids love to get
mail, so encourage them
ATM machine works and
explain that to take money
out of the bank you must
first put it in.
-Give your kids
positive feedback. As they
get older, give them respon­
sibility over how they spend
their money.
The ABA Educa­
tion Foundation, a nonprofit
subsidiary of the American
Bankers Association, is
to keep an eye out for their
quarterly statement.
-Talk to your child
about the family budget.
Include a discussion on
wants and needs. Reinforce
this by budgeting for a fam­
ily outing or purchase.
-While children
know that money doesn’t
grow on trees, they may
think it comes out of a
wall. Show them how an
committed to developing
and providing education
programs that lead to fi­
nancial literacy. The ABA
Education Foundation’s
National Teach Children
to Save Day is held every
April when thousands of
bankers make presenta­
tions to students on the
importance of saving for
their future.
