THE SPOKESMAN • WEDNESDAY, APRIL 14, 2021 P5 Sports & Recreation DOWN TO THE WIRE Ridgeview edged Redmond on penalty kicks on the road to the IMC championship match BY BRIAN RATHBONE The Bulletin REDMOND — Two 40-minute halves, two 10-minute overtime peri- ods and one round of penalty kicks were not enough to de- cide who would advance to the Intermountain Confer- ence tournament champion- ship last week. Then, in the second round of PKs, Ridgeview sophomore midfielder Hope Williams-Or- lando’s attempt got past Red- mond goalkeeper Alyssa Mc- Connell to give the Ravens the victory over the Panthers in girls soccer. “Myself and our other coaches, we saw everything that we have been working to- wards at this moment,” Rid- geview coach Nic Sedor said last week. “The determina- tion and perseverance they’ve shown, I’m so glad the girls were rewarded with this win. It feels good to come out on top. Redmond is a quality team and they really pushed us.” The April 6 win was the Ra- vens’ fourth in a row and first over Redmond this season. Ridgeview finally started to see positive results after start- ing the season with five losses and two ties. Four of those five losses were decided by one goal — including matches against Summit and Bend High.

Leaving a picnic truck which ran out of gas on the way home from Opal Springs where they and several other students had spent the day, the three students attempted to reach the Helm- holtz farm house to get gasoline. Other members of the party were left at the road shortly be- fore nightfall, and although they had little more than half a mile to go by a “short cut,” they lost their way and were unable to get their bearings until daybreak. They arrived at the Helm- holtz home at 7 o’clock just as a searching party of parents who had been out nearly all night, and breakfasted and were pre- paring to again take up the search. After several hours wander- ing, Hanson had climbed several juniper trees along their path in an effort to learn their where- abouts but was unsuccessful. Later on in the night they tired completely and built a fire. Once Hanson slipped in the dark and fell several feet off a cliff. After that the three walked arm in arm. Endeavoring to find the lost students, the searchers them- selves had difficulty in keep- ing their direction and were twice temporarily lost in the intense darkness brought on by the rain, according to Edward Brown manager of the Red- mond creamery, father of Miss Brown. Remaining at the auto truck were Miss Dorothy Royal and Miss Hazel Caughey and Harry Hansen, George Johnson and John Bates. They obtained gas- oline after waiting several hours and arrived in Redmond at 11 o’clock to tell of the disappear- ance of the other members of their party. Miss Brown returned to Redmond and attended her classes Monday. The boys were absent. April 18, 1946 — Use City Dump, Police Request “It’s clean — up time, true enough,” says Chief of Police Jess Edgar, “but that isn’t the sig- nal for hauling trash into the ju- nipers east of Redmond.” Redmond has a city dump, just as close to town as the area to the east, and the dump is the place to put garbage. Last year, city officials were much concerned because the area east of town became an eyesore and health menace when vast amounts of gar- bage, carcasses and trash were dumped there. All residents are urged to use the city dump, not the junipers to the east. 50 years ago April 14, 1971 — Roberts Field gains air traffic control trainees Two students from Mt. Hood Community College are getting their first taste of air traffic con- trol at Roberts Field. For the young men, both sophomores majoring in air traffic control and professional pilot, it is an opportunity to put into practice some of the book learning from campus, and a chance to find out if working for the Federal Aviation Ad- ministration is really their “bag.” For the federal govern- ment, hiring Virgil Dahrens of Gresham and Bill Meyer of Portland as GS-3’s for three months on-the-job status in cooperation with MHCC is far less expensive than giving them 2 1/2 years of government fi- nanced training, only to learn that air traffic control wasn’t what they wanted and have them quit.

If the word conjures up a bespectacled professor with pants pulled up to his arm- pits, a blackboard covered with numbers and equations and students furiously scribbling in notebooks, think again. In Redmond High School’s physics class the teacher doesn’t wear glasses, his pants fit around his waist, the black- board is a white board and it’s more likely to contain drawings that rows of math. Although, instructor Ron Caramella says, “We do have days of working equations too.” But Caramella’s students are more likely to be working at computers or cutting, drilling and grinding scraps of metal tubing. Then again, they might be tuning and playing musical instruments. Wait a minute: Is this band or physics? It’s physics. The instruments are all part of what Caramella calls concep- tual physics. Traditional physics compares relationships through the use of formulas to solve problems, he said. By contrast, in conceptual physics, students spend more time figuring out why some- thing happened. Caramella, a 13-year veteran physics teacher at RHS, said the new approach means students are learning a lot more. Five years ago, a similar class would study similar principles but wouldn’t have applied the theories to “something we’re all familiar with,” he said. Caramella hopes that by teaching the concepts of phys- ics through fun projects, more students will discover they can master difficult material. In the case of the current physics-of-sound unit, teams of students are building wind chimes — a similar set sells on the internet for $25 — using the principles of physics to tune the pipes to a pleasant sound and exploring why some notes are melodic and others are sour. They begin their exploration by striking random lengths of conduit pipe. When the ex- pected low note didn’t happen, Caramella asked them to figure out why. Using a microphone plugged into a computer, students be- came immersed in graphing sound waves, testing for fre- quency and learning about har- monics and resonance. “A trumpet has a more er- ratic timbre than the pure tone of a flute,” senior Skye Mayo ex- plained. Mayo, who is taking as much math and science as he can, said the class seems more practical than some others he has taken. “It can explain what’s happen- ing around me.” The next step for the students was to put their knowledge to work.
