A10 WEDNESDAY April 22, 2015 Senior Urban, rural kids trade places breaks Program sparked by wolf issue discus record By Steve Tool Wallowa County Chieftain By Rob Ruth Wallowa County Chieftain BOARDMAN — Enter- prise senior Daniel Kohlhepp broke the school re- cord in the discus, se- nior Kaden Lathrop turned in the year’s best 2A time in Kohlhepp the interme- diate hur- dles, and sophomore Reagan Bedard raced to the year’s third-best time in winning the 200 meters. Things just seem to be getting better all the time for (QWHUSULVH¶V WUDFN DQG ¿HOG squad, which piled up a num- ber of noteworthy accom- plishments at the Columbia River Invitational, Saturday, April 18, in Boardman. The Enterprise men’s team amassed 178 points to com- PDQG ¿UVW SODFH E\ D ZLGH margin in the nine-team meet. Enterprise women meanwhile had 54 points, good for fourth place in their division. “They had a great day, and we were minus some ath- letes,” Outlaws coach Dan Moody said of the April 18 results. It wasn’t what he re- garded as a big meet, howev- er. “Some of the teams didn’t load up because they went to the meet the day before in Umatilla,” Moody explained. The 4-H Urban 2 Rural Exchange is starting year 10 of its successful program. The exchange involves students from both Wallowa Coun- ty schools and the best and brightest from Multnomah County’s Sunnyside Envi- ronmental School exchang- ing places for several days to experience life on “the other side” — an opposite side of the state, that is. Wallowa County program participant Debi Schreiber said the exchange program re- sulted from an incident during the 2005 Oregon Legislature session, which is when law- makers were trying to devise a wolf management plan. Children from the Sunnyside school singing songs and recit- ing poems in praise of wolves crowded into the hearing room, leaving ranchers who had traveled long distances to testify, outside the session. A concerned Grant County commissioner who attended the event approached Sunny- side about allowing the ranch- ers to present their side of the wolf issue to the students. The school agreed, and several as- semblies later the exchange program was born.

The Cubs rolled in this doubleheader, winning both games by big scores. CUBS TWICE PREY UPON VIKINGS By Rich Rautenstrauch Wallowa County Chieftain Last week the Wallowa County Cubs traveled to Weston on Tues- day and lost that non-league game 15-6, but on Friday, at home, the girls won both ends of a double- header against the Umatilla Vi- kings, a league opponent. The winning scores were lopsided: 16-1 in the opener and 19-0 in the nightcap. The Cubs’ overall record is now 7-3, and their league mark is even better at 5-1.

For WKH¿UVWWLPHWKLVVHDVRQ(Q terprise also had enough girl golfers to constitute a team. The EHS boys came in with a total higher than the previous week, but still made the dash for district more in- teresting, swapping places with other teams in the scor- ing. Coach Mike Crawford said WKH FRXUVH LQ -RKQ 'D\ LV D really nice one, but the greens were a lot faster than the kids are accustomed to and this hurt Enterprise. Freshman Brycen Locke led the team with a 93 score. Cody Irish was next with a tally of 98. Christian Ruck- dashel carded a 109, and Isaac Rowley shot 113. Gotro Thanadkit, an alternate for Enterprise, shot 115. Coach Crawford said Locke’s top score was a good sign. Crawford also thinks it could improve and inspire the whole team. Thanadkit’s per- formance slipped this week as he had a problem on the front side of the course and was un- able to recover. Crawford said he was proud of the fact the newly formed girls team competed through the whole tournament and didn’t give up. Carsen Sajonia shot a 98, with En- terprise’s other senior, Emma Hall, scoring 131, knocking 27 strokes off her previous ZHHN¶V WDOO\ -DFNLH -HQVRQ carded a 147.
