Another way to save money on a food budget is to avoid wasting the food that's bought. A modern archeology pro ject at the University of Ari zona has been taking a long term look at wasted food. "The Garbage Project has come up with some interesting facts. At least seven to 10 percent of food bought is thrown away unused. The figure may be as high as nine to 14 percent if you add food discarded down a Columbia takes 2nd place, sportsmanship trophies By MARK STEVENS The Columbia Tri-County Babe Ruth AH Star team took second place in the district tournament held in The Dalles. Not only did all the players and coaches receive trophies for second place, but the team also was given the sportsmanship award. Columbia Tri-County start ed the series by playing the Hermiston American all star team and ended up victorious by a score of 8 to two. Jerry Vandever pitched for Columbia, giving up only five hits and three walks. He was the first pitcher to throw in an all star game from the newly formed league and he was also the first winning pitcher. Columbia had six hits in the game and used smart base running while capitalizing on errors to score their eight runs. Rich Gilbertson was the heavy hitter of the day with a double that started a three-run rally. Tyler Trumbull and Chris Stevens both lined nice singles. After winning this game, Columbia played the following day against the Hood River Nationals who were the de fending champions. Rich Gilbertson was the starting pitcher and he threw all seven innings, striking out four batters as Hood River scored five runs on seven hits. Gilbertson also had a fine hitting game with three singles and an RBI. Jim Put man and Brad Trumbull laced singles to advance runners around the bases and Chris Stevens had two lead-off singles and scored three times. Brian Byrd knocked in two runs with a single to deep center field. Tyler Trum bull had the game-winning hit in the fourth inning when he slugged a grand slam home run well over the 321 -foot home run fence in left field. Lamb, wool producers to vote on program extension Lamb and wool producers will have an opportunity dur ing an August 16-27 referend um to vote on whether they want the American Sheep Pro ducers Council, Inc., to con tinue its market promotion and improvement program on their behalf by entering a new agreement with the US De partment of Agriculture. According to Everett Rank, administrator of USDA's Agri cultural Stabilization and Con servation Service, the agree ment to be voted on is similar to one approved in 1978, except it would authorize larger de ductions from producer incen tive payments. By approving it, producers would authorize Holloway completes armor officer basic course Second Lt. Douglas C. Hol loway, son of Clayton C. and Katherine N. Holloway of Ir rigon has completed an armor officer basic course at the U.S. Army Armor School, Fort Knox, Ky, it was announced recently. The course covered branch Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, disposal. The largest dollar value item was meat and protein projects; the largest quantity in weight was fruits and vege table It was estimated that an average two-person household wasted about $300 worth of food a year, at current prices during a two-year period. Foods that had risen sharply were dicarded in greater amounts. For instance, there was an increase in waste of protein foods when meat prices rose sharply. Re searchers speculated that this may relate to trying new forms of preparation that were unacceptable or improp Trumbull was the only player in the tournament to hit a home run. Tyler came to bat later in the game and smashed a ground rule double to bring in another run for a total of five 5 RBI's in the game. Columbia won by a final score of 10 to 5. Winning that game advan ced Columbia Tri-County into the semifinals. Their opponent was the Hermiston Nationals. The teams that make up Col umbia Tri-County all belonged to the Hermiston league last year which may have added a " little more competition to the game. Fred Widman and John Stamate combined in the pit ching department to give up seven hits for seven runs. The game didn't start too well for Columbia as they trailed in the bottom of the third by a score of 5 to 0. Then in the top of the fourth Columbia came alive with a five-hit inning that scored four runs to close the gap. Jim Putman and Brian Byrd both singled and scored in the inning. Neither team scored again until the top of the sixth when Columbia rallied to score six runs. Rich Gilbertson singled in the inning and was later brought in by Chris Stevens who also hit a single. Stevens scored when Tyler Trumbull smacked a double into left that brought in two runs. After Trumbull batted, Jim Putman drilled a single that pushed two more runs across the plate. Brian Byrd brought in the last run of the inning when he pounded a double into left field. Columbia scored again the top of the seventh on two walks and stolen bases. In the bottom of the inning Hermis ton gave Columbia a little scare by scoring two runs, but it wasn't enough as Columbia won by a score of 11 to seven. Columbia Tri-County played the following day against the deductions of up to four cents per pound on shorn wool and 20 cents per hundred weight on unshorn lambs marketed in 1982. Deductions rates from 1978 through 1981 were two and one-half cents and 12 and one-half cents respective ly. Rank also said the new agreement would provide for USDA to withhold part of any wool incentive payments that might be made to producers on 1983-85 marketings to finance the councils' promo tion activities.

When you have a "cleaning out" session, analyze what foods you're throwing away. Try to decide what methods would have saved that food from its green whiskers. Do you throw away small servings of vegetables or cas seroles? If so, perhaps you could start a soup pot, adding the dabs to a one or two-quart container stored in the freez er. When the container is full, make a broth with a small amount of meat or poultry, and thaw out all of the con home team. The Dalles Celilo. The Dalles Celilo had already lost one game which was against the Hermiston Nation als. The tournament was double elimination and Col umbia had not lost yet, which gave them an advantage. Chris Stevens and Jerry Vandever shared the pitching and gave up 12 runs on seven hits. Columbia scored all of their runs in the second in ning. Jim Putman and Chris Stevens each singled in the inning. Tyler Trumbull drove a ball 370 feet to the left -center field for his second home run of the tournament. The Dalles won by a final score of 12 to seven. Because of the loss Colum bia had to play The Dalles again and whichever team won was to become champion. This game ended up with the final score of seven to one in favor of The Dalles. Up to the fifth inning, both pitchers had only given up two hits and not any runs had scored, but then The Dalles became hot and scored six runs which was enough to last them the rest of the game. Soon after the game was over, trophies and awards were presented. Every player received a second place trophy as did the coaches. The team also won the sportsman ship award and the tourna ment announcer had com mented that Columbia Tri County "was a team with class." The award should be on display soon at the Board man Pharmacy. 1 2345(7 .R HE Columbia TC 931480. g.t 3 Herm.Am. 0106619.2.57 Columbia TC 1 440 1 0 10182 Hood Riv.

At today's prices, even the heels are worth money. Allow bread to dry in an open container. It can be made into bread crumbs for toppings. You can make your own flavored croutons using the heels and other bits of leftover bread that would otherwise be wasted. Planning a meat loaf or meatball recipe when you notice a few odds and ends of bread is also good. If you're wasting fresh vegetables, such as celery or lettuce, investigate storage containers to keep them crisp Exercise caution when recharging car battery It's summertime and, despite the high cost of gasoline, Americans are as mobile as ever. One all too familiar sight at this time of year is a stranded motorist at the side of the road, watching the steam rise from an overheated battery, In summer as in v. inter, driv ers are sometimes confronted with a "dead" or overheated battery. This often happens at a time when it is most unex pected in the middle of highway traffic snarl, in the evening upon returning to the car. or after the driver has for gotten to turn off the lights w hilt the car is not running. When the battery is lacking in the necesary power to start the car, most motorists try to start liieir cars by using a pair of booster cables, which borrow starting power from the battery of another car. m ' iii i list till k -1 i H I A m I V - I?
