Notebook

Ida Risser
My living room is full of books
and flowers. The impatiens and
begonias have lots of red and bright
pink flowers. It seems that every
few days they need water as the bay
window faces south and they get
lots of sun. However, I do enjoy the
bright colors all winter long.
Now the books, magazines, and
newspapers keep piling up as
usual. As I love to read, I hate to
throw them away before I’ve
looked at them. Some sections of
the Sunday paper never do get

One reader of this paper sent
me a book that she had enjoyed.
And, a man from Massachusetts
sent me a magazine about cranber
ry harvesting. Maybe after Christ
mas I’ll get to reading it some
more.
Speaking of Christmas, last
week I helped to make 100 paper
angels as favors for a banquet. We
used gold crinkled paper and tiny
gold beads for the head and hands.

can Agri-Women celebrated their
20th Anniversary at this year’s
annual convention, hosted by Ore
gon Women for Agriculture,
Several of us worked together and
finished in short order. Now my
problem is getting a good idea for
decorating the two tables that have
been assigned to me. 1 think that I’ll
start with some of my own eve?
greens and holly plus red ribbon.
We expect to go to a Christmas
tree farm for our tree. Last year we
found that the fresh-cut tree lasted
very long. Our tree will need to be
a small one as I put it on a chest
that faces a big window. First
thing that I must do is empty the
chest top of 15 pictures of family
members. I hope that I can find an
empty drawer to put them in tem
porarily. Things do seem to get
rearranged over this season but we
look forward to having a lot of
company.

Agri-Women Hold Convention
Lancaster Farming, Saturday, December 17, 1994-Bii
November 10-14. Participants
from across the U.S. gathered to
reflect upon the strength of AAW;
a group that has grown from a few
concerned farm wives to more
than SO state and commodity affil
iates throughout the nation today,
with the newest affiliate Ohio Hol
stein Women.
Ardath DeWall, AAWs current
President stated, “Our members
have celebrated our successful his
tory and look forward to imple
menting our new strategic plan in
1995. Some of AAW’s goals for
the. coming year are to implement
new alliances, increase our efforts
to inform all segments of our soci

cance of American agriculture and
to become a potent force in shap
ing proactive policies for agricul
ture in the future. “In addition, two
new national officers were elect

Alston Chase, noted environ
mental writer and scholar' ad
dressed the group about the need
for MW members to “become
involved in shifting the nation’s
environmental policy away from
an elitist, class war ideology
toward a more scientifically sound
and pragmatic approach that recog
nizes the significant role that
humans have always had in shap
ing the landscape.”
Dr. Fred Obermiller, an agricul
tural economist from Oregon State
University and expert on land use
stressed a need to break the
“unholy trinity” of current envi
ronmental policy, by requiring
mandated funding for new regula
tions and laws, requiring cost/ben
efit/risk analysis of new environ
mental proposals as well as fair
compensation for any government
“taking” of private property.
