Favorite
class
and
teacher? While I enjoyed all
of my science classes, marine biology was my favorite class.
Topped off with Lee Cain, my favorite teacher, marine biology
was a class that was both exciting and one that taught me a lot.
Both the class and the teacher taught me curriculum in a way that
was hands-on and fun.
What will you remember the most? My most memorable
moment in high school was the day my chemistry two class made
ice cream. It was cool to know how ice cream was made and it
was one of the most delicious ice creams I have ever had.
Advice for success? The irst step to succeed is to believe.
After believing all that is left is to begin. Everything will gradu-
ally fall into place after that if one perseveres.

Favorite class and teacher?
My favorite class is journalism
because the students have a lot of
freedom in what they can write
and what the newspaper looks like.
What will you remember the most? I will remember all the
smiles and laughter that I was able to have with my friends and
teachers throughout my high school experience. I will treasure those
memories forever.
Advice for success? In order to be successful, all you have to
do is not procrastinate and put your phone away during class. That
is it. If you don’t procrastinate, your work will get done on time and
be higher quality, and if you aren’t on your phone during class, you
will be able to take better notes and have a better understanding of
the material.

team that helped me accomplish all that I did and make some
amazing memories.
Advice for success? If you are going to procrastinate, then
at least make sure to plan it out so you get everything done in a
timely manner. Also, push yourself, but know your limits. We are
all only human and can only take so much before we burn out.

Motor vehicle accidents
cause a variety of injuries
because of an abrupt change, like the
cracking of a whip. In less than a second,
many tons of force are transferred to the
body, including ligaments, muscles, disks
and joints. Those tissues stretch and tear
and do not heal without proper care.
Injuries can include neck, back, jaw,
shoulders, ribs and knees. Chiropractic
care has been shown to be effective and
gentle to restore normal function after
injuries and accidents. Even if your
injury is older, we can help. Astoria
Chiropractic has been providing excellent
services in Astoria for 35 years.

Favorite class and teacher? My favorite class in the high school
is journalism because I want to be an international journalist when I
grow up. Mr. Clint Hill is my favorite teacher because he has believed
in me from the very start, throwing me into a position as an editor
my irst year in the class, which he said does not normally happen.
What will you remember the most? I will miss the Camp
Kiwanilong soccer camp the most. I loved camping with all of
my soccer girls and boys from my school and other schools. Even
though this does not correlate with the above statement I would like
to thank my parents and grandparents for everything that they have
done to help get me to where I am today.
Advice for success? It is OK to face things alone. Do things
yourself, and ind yourself irst. Be adaptable. Give back. Make
every moment count in your life in order to change the world. Lastly,
question everything, because nothing is perfect the way it is. Be the
difference.
I am very happy to sell those
products for $5 less than my
competitors in order to have

addition to low new

For the majority of patients
concerned about their dental
health this is a reasonable interval.
However, for many patients who
struggle with plaque control, have poor
brushing habits, inadequate diets,
smokers, and patients with medical
conditions such as diabetes a more
frequent cleaning interval is
recommended and appropriate. And
yes, there are the few patients out there
who do an amazing job of home care
and can remain healthy on just an
annual cleaning visit and checkup.
Remember “ you only have to brush
and floss the teeth you want to keep”!

More expensive often
means that an appliance

much more flexible options for

there can be significant quality

and longevity of a more expensive

Lead: Announcement is a recommendation only
Continued from Page 1A
The Oregon Department of
Education, the Oregon Health
Authority and the state’s
Early Learning Division will
provide technical support and
information for the state’s 197
school districts and recom-
mend a list of state-certiied
labs to test the water.
The plan also calls for
those labs to report results to
the Oregon Health Author-
ity, which will build a data-
base for public use this fall,
said Robb Cowie, an agency
spokesman.
The announcement is a
recommendation only, how-
ever, and the state can’t
require school districts to test.
Currently, districts that
have their own water supply
are monitored by the state
health oficials for lead in the
water.
But the majority of
schools receive water from
municipal systems. These
schools aren’t monitored for
lead in the water beyond the
testing done by the municipal
network.
That can be a problem
because many older schools
have pipes that can leach lead
into the water at the site.
“There’s growing con-
cerns in the school districts
and we just wanted to do
what we could to get infor-
mation out on best prac-
tices,” said Amy Wojcicki,
spokeswoman for the Oregon
Department of Education.

public places for tips. Most
people are familiar with street
musicians busking but buskers
can be any type of
entertainment from balloon
artists and clowns to painters,
dancers and magicians. Astoria
Sunday Market welcomes
buskers of all types and simply
asks that they abide by some
simple courtesy rules.

Unlike our seafood, which is
local, our exotic meats come
from all over the world. Most of the
Wild Boar products come from Italy.
Our Python comes from Vietnam. The
Iguana is from Peru, and the Kangaroo
is from Australia. U.S farmed meats
include Elk and Venison (Idaho,)
Rattlesnake (Texas) Frog legs
(Louisiana,) Snapping Turtle and
Alligator (Florida.) Almost all exotic
meats are farmed and their production
is environmentally safe and
sustainable. Exotic meats are
healthier than most traditional farmed
meats, because they are leaner,
hormone and antibiotic free, fed a
better diet and generally free range.
