Hutchison also had two ad-
ditional first-place finishes in
the long jump (16-05.25) and
triple jump (34-01.50).
Jozie Rude earned first
in shot put with a throw of
37.06.50 and second-place
finishes in her other three field
events, including javelin, with
a personal record of 120-04,
discus (107-03) and pole vault
(9-06.00).
Rude said she enjoyed the
event, despite the weather.
“Being cold was probably
the hardest part, but somehow
I ended up getting a PR (per-
sonal record) in javelin,” she
said. “We have great support
from the team. They are defi-
nitely a great group.”
Brockway also finished
second in the long jump
(15.05-75) and the triple jump
(32-02.00), where she set a
personal record.
The top two placers in each
event advance to the state
championships in Eugene.
Cates finished third in the
400-meter dash, but will ad-
vance to state in that event, as
the second-place athlete pulled
out of the race.
“This additional event is a
plus,” Smith said. “We can use
it to try and defend our state
title.”
Chelsie Kodesh in shot put
and Reitta Wyllie in discus
came close to qualifying but
were edged out with third-
place finishes in those events.

Your chamber office continues to see a
steady increase in activity with summer
vacation approaching and the solar
eclipse in August. Our volunteers are a
real blessing and are keeping very
busy with the usual routine, but now
dealing with walk-ins and telephone
calls seeking information about the
eclipse, as well as purchasing posters,
t-shirts, solar glasses and an array of
other souvenirs commemorating the
eclipse. Be sure to attend and get
updated at our next eclipse meeting,
Wednesday, May 17, at 4 p.m. at the
Canyon City Community Hall. We
recently completed the remodel of our
chamber office front entryway,
extending the foyer inward with new
walls, windows and a glass door that
can be locked inside after hours,
allowing visitors the opportunity to still
enter 24/7 and pick up information
about our local motels, restaurants,
museums and other local attractions in
the area in hopes of keeping them from
passing on through our area. Stop in
and take a look! Our guest speaker for
our May 18 luncheon meeting will be
Irene Jerome, who comes from a
pioneer family that homesteaded in
Wasco County in 1879 and still in the
family. She attended OSU and received
her B.S. degree in Forest Management
and a post B.A.C. degree in Business
and Economics from EOU. She began
her career working for the Forest
Service as a consultant for them as
well as several other lumber
companies. She is currently self-
employed and is actively involved with
the FIREWISE COMMUNITY
PROGRAM and also contracts out to
the American Forest Resource
Council, which is a timber trade
organization that represents the forest
products community. She will be
presenting a slide presentation and
offer many ideas on how to better
protect your home and property from
wildfires. Come to one or both of our
meetings. Board meeting at 11 a.m. at
the Chamber of Commerce office, and
then adjourn to the Outpost at noon for
the luncheon meeting. SEE YOU
THERE!

A man wakes up in
the morning after
sleeping on an
ADVERTISED BED,
in ADVERTISED
PAJAMAS.
He will bathe in an ADVERTISED TUB, shave with an ADVERTISED RAZOR,
have a breakfast of ADVERTISED JUICE, cereal and toast, toasted in an
ADVERTISED TOASTER, put on ADVERTISED CLOTHES and glance at his
ADVERTISED WATCH. He’ll ride to work in his ADVERTISED CAR, sit at an
ADVERTISED DESK and write with an ADVERTISED PEN. Yet this person
hesitates to advertise, saying that advertising doesn’t pay. Finally, when his
non-advertised business is going under, HE’LL ADVERTISE IT FOR SALE.
Then it’s too late.
AND THEY SAY ADVERTISING DOESN’T WORK?
DON’T MAKE THIS SAME MISTAKE
Advertising is an investment, not an expense. Think about it!
