Weiss named interim chief at Western The Oregon State Board of Higher Education appointed Mark Weiss as interim presi- dent of Western Oregon Uni- versity last week. Weiss has been executive vice president of finance and administration at WOU since 2005. Weiss succeeds Dr. John P.

Weiss, who will serve as act- ing president during Minahan's upcoming vacation, will tran- sition to interim president by the start of fall term. His ap- pointment is through June 30, 2013, according to Matt Donegan, president of the Or- egon State Board of Higher Education. The Board unani- mously supported the chancellor's recommendation of Weiss and expressed grati- tude to Minahan for his service. "I am privileged and honored that the Oregon State Board of Higher Education enmasted the interim presidency to me," Weiss said. "I am ready to serve and to continue the fine work ac- complished by President Minahan and his team. My goal will be to facilitate and help our faculty and staff in their contin- ued success in serving the needs of our students. Many exciting accomplishments have been achieved in recent years and there is much more to come on the horizon. I care deeply for Western Oregon University, its students, faculty, staff, alumni, and citizens ofthe campus com- mtmity, and I look forward to continuing our efforts to serve these populations." As executive vice president of finance and administration, Mr. Weiss has managed fiscal operations and planning for the university, and worked in close partnership with the president, faculty, staff, and the campus community to help the univer- sity excel in its student-focused mission. In this position, he has managed financial systems, fa- cilities, technological functions, campus housing, public safety, and more. He also worked closely with president Minahan and associate provost David McDonald in developing and implementing the WOWs in- novative and well-received Tu- ition Promise program, which guarantees that entering fresh- man who finish their studies within four years pay the same tuition annually.

It was also time to prepare the stalls, pens and cages for the arrival of the other animals on Tuesday. As 4-H members prepared for competition, parents supervised setup in the hams, hung tubing for banners and arches- casting sunny skies with temperatures in the upper 70s and low 80s, the weather for the fair should be ideal for attendees and participants as well as the animals. For many young people, the fair is an opportunity to earn money for school clothes, their college education or to pay off the investments they've made raising livestock. FFA and 4-H trated complicated schedules that had members will have the opportunity to kids dashing from building to build- ing. "Electrolytes for the ponies," called out one girl as she dashed through one of the horse barns. With the National Weather Service fore- sell their market animals at the live- stock auction scheduled for 12:30 p.m. on Saturday. As a youth, Mike Reid was a 4-H member. He sold his animals at the fair auction to earn money for college. He attended Oregon State University and served as the president of the collegiate 4-H. Today, as a retiree living in rural Sheridan, he is trying to encourage stu- dents and families from the West Val- ley to become involved in the 4-H pro- gram. For the second year, Reid is spon- soring a special award for heritage chickens raised by 4-H members. "We've been trying to encourage heri- tage birds over the commercial ones," he said. The heritage chickens--breeds good for eggs and meat--will be at the fair. So will the goats, the sheep, swine, dairy cattle, market beef, rabbits, pi- geons and cavies. Whether you prefer to cluck along to Country Western tunes, moo with the music, rock with the roosters or dine with the dairy goats, there are plenty of ways to party at this year's fair. Just don't expect to party with any animals from the West Valley. Accord- ing to the 4-H office, there are no en- tries from the West Valley. As in years past, neither the Sheridan nor the Wil- lamina FFA chapters exhibit at the Yam- hill County Fair. More information on the fair sched- ule and list of concerts and events is available online at www.co.yamhill. or.us/fair.

I also had the oppor- tunity to learn that FFA is so much more than just animals and plants; there is welding and canning, sewing, speeches and many more things available. The one I am in is the market- ing. "I have chosen to raise a lamb for the summer. My lamb's name is Sophie, she is white with black stockings and her face is mostly white with cream colored spots. She seems to be the sweetest sheep in the group, but you know the owner can be prejudiced. "I have put in the hours needed and more in making sure my lamb has what she needs to be at her best. Raising an animal for the first time can be a bit challenging but lucky for me, I have had a little guid- ance from the Willamina FFA advisor." The Auction will be held Saturday, Aug. 13, starting at 6 to the top winner(s) depending on the tumout. The pinochle group plays single deck games but would consider playing double deck if enough players make the request.
