Soldier: In
Iraq till 2007
(Continued from page 1)
Boise and his fellow soldiers
filled the backpacks with school
supplies and took them to local
schools.
“Once they saw the bags they
just kind of swarmed around
us,” he said. “That’s a good feel
ing though, afterwards, when
you’re driving back to the base.”
They were able to distribute
supplies to about five schools,
Boise said, and that included
about 800 students.
For the Iraqi people, the do
nation of school supplies meant
a lot, Boise said.
“They were very happy,” he
added. “Some of them don’t
really have money. There’s a lot
of poverty over there. I see
them make their houses every
day out of mud.”
Many of the people don’t
react negatively to the U.S.
military’s presence in Iraq, Boise
said.
“Some villages, they’re neu
Meteorites:
They’re actually
quite common
(Continued from page 1)
“T hey’re everyw here,” he
said. “There’s one within a mile
of us right now.”
In the past, farming tech
niques aided the discovery of
meteorites.
Pugh explained, “Of all the
instruments we have, the plow
has found more meteorites than
any other instrument.”
The sixth-largest meteorite in
the w orld was found in
‘Silent
Message'

In W hite’s opinion, “It
takes a special person to
want to attack this problem.
It’s true that some of those
in d iv id u als have gone
through it, so to re-live it that
way is very hard, but very ad
mirable.”
As for the future of the
film, White said, “I think this
will just continue to get big
ger. I think it’s a good time
for people to start talking
Pdge 11
tral—they have a neutral stand
ing or they’re pro-army,” Boise
said.
“Some of the insurgents will
actually go there after curfew
and kidnap one of the villag
ers and hold them for ransom
or make them hide their weap
ons.”
Often the villagers will ask
the soldiers for water, Boise said,
so they will leave them several
cases.
Boise added, “In return
they’ll take the water and go
make tea and bring it back out
to us.”
“The tea is really good,” he
said. “It’s sugary though.”
The local cuisine is something
that Boise and his fellow soldiers
have had the opportunity to ex
perience several times.
According to Boise, he and
other soldiers have been invited
to dine with the Iraqi people
twice—once when the people
were thanking them for the do
nation of school supplies and
once when the Iraqi chief of
police was retiring.
The menu included local
food, Boise said, and at one
point they ate sheep’s brain.
In B oise’s opinion, “The
brain was actually pretty good.
It fell apart in my hand.”
“I just ate it straight from the
skull,” he said. “They took the
wool off or whatever is on the
face and stuck it in a big pot
and boiled it.”
When they ran out of meat
from the head itself, a local man
pulled open the skull and the
brain fell out for them to eat.
Boise originally decided to
join the army while participat
ing in the JROTC program in
high school—a program that he
said helped him a lot when he
entered basic training.
, During his time at home,
Boise returned to Madras High
School to speak to current
JROTC students.
After his four-year stint in the
army is up, Boise plans to go to
college.
Boise is the son of Tony and
Selena Boise. He has one
brother, Jackson, and two sis
ters: Tonya and Leanna.
Boise will remain in Iraq un
til August 2007.
Willamette in 1902.
It weighed 15.5 tons, Pugh
said, and sparked a legal battie
between the men who found the
meteorite and those who owned
the land it had been taken off
of.
The m eteorite eventually
ended up in a museum.
Pugh also presented in Powell
Butte, Terrebonne and Madras.
He has given the same pre
sentations in dozens of Oregon
communities and is sponsored
by the nonprofit Libraries of
Eastern Oregon (LEO) with
funding provided to LEO
through The Oregon Museum
of Science and Industry.
A grant from NASA allows
the Libraries of Eastern Oregon
to sponsor the presentations.
The Cascadia Meteorite Lab
was established in 2003 as part
of the Department of Geology
at Portland State University.
In 2005, CML became an
official repository for type speci
mens of newly classified mete
orites.
