Animal rescue transports feral cats The MDH animal res- cue in Heppner transported nine feral cats to a clinic lo- cated in Benton City, WA on May 16. The clinic, Prevent Homeless Pets (PHP), was responsible for performing the low cost spay and neuter for the cats. After a 24-hour recov- ery from surgery, the cats were returned to their ad- opted home, where they will continue to live and be cared for. The group has planned another appointment for spay and neuter on May 30, with transport leaving at 6:30 a.m. Those with feral (wild) cats who would like to have them included in the next appointment should contact MDH at 541-676- 9000. MDH will provide assistance trapping the cats if necessary. Reduced cost spay and neuter is available for pets as well by calling PHP at 509-497-1133 or by visiting their website at preventh- omelesspets.org. Those interested in volunteering with MDH animal rescue should con- tact April Herzog at 541- 676-9000. Volunteers are needed to foster, donate or contribute computer skills for this community endeav- or. Everyone is welcome to participate.

Morrow County stu- dents will have the oppor- tunity to work right in their own backyard through a new program, the Morrow County Student Internship Program. Several partners are involved in the pro- gram – Morrow Coun- ty School District, Ione School District, the Port of Morrow, the InterMountain Education Service Dis- trict (IMESD) and multiple community businesses. The program is funded through the Morrow Edu- cation Foundation, which receives funds from CREZ 11. The internships are open to high school seniors and juniors who qualify. Students will be employ- ees of the IMESD and will be paid minimum wage. Students can receive high school credit for their work experience but must main- tain 90 percent attendance at school and at their work- place. More than 25 business- es are on board to hire interns, including Bank of Eastern Oregon, City of Boardman, Columbia River Health, Port of Mor- row, Morrow County Grain Growers, Blue Mountain Manufacturing, Boardman Foods, Lamb-Weston and more.

Students will start working this fall when school is back in session. Jobs are available for a se- mester or the entire school year. Students will work an average of 10 hours per week. The purpose of the in- ternships are to introduce high school students to jobs and careers that are already located in Morrow County. Students will benefit by earning income, while lo- cal businesses can utilize local employees. “This is what we have been trying to do for years with Career Technical Education (CTE) -- teaching kids how to get a job, work successfully in a job and consider a career here in their own commu- nity,” said Dirk Dirksen, superintendent of the Mor- row County School District. The students applied for the jobs in April and went through the inter- viewing process on May 14 and 15.
