were then judged by their peers at
the recent workshop at Columbia
Junior High
“ Creating is tough and it is also

vulnerability the creator feels when
hu creation is exposed to public
scrutiny.
Long, also a well known consul­
tant on gifted education throughout
the northwest, taught the students
how creativity can he enhanced by

The charismatic Long, who could
undoubtedly make a log enjoy lear­
ning, asked the students to sum­

ing the workshop
You don't have to create alone,
you can create with others, and you
can use old to create new. were a
couple of concepts the students pop­

Long inserted a simple, hut basic
concept, “ use your imagination."

highway work crews
They arc impostors, usually work
ing under the cover of darkness, who
have stolen $bO.(XM) worth of
aluminum bridge railings and signs
from state highways during the past
six months
The thieves sell the hot aluminum
for scrap, said John Sheldrake,
maintenance operations engineer tor
the Oregon Highway Division The
costs to the state are much higher
than the scrap value because the
finished products are expensive to
replace
“ This kind of loss is not covered
by any form of insurance The
replacement costs come right out of
the taxpayer's pocket," he said
The Highway Division must use
money set aside for other road im­
provements to replace the signs and
bridge rails Because it's a direct cost
to motorists. Sheldrake is asking
them to report suspicious-looking
highway crews to the State Police

Riddle
Irish
Drivers should find it fairly easy
to tell the difference between an of­
ficial highway work crew and the
impostors, he said Official highway
crews place advance warning signs
at work sites and use clearly mark
cd contractor or Highway Division
equipment
Another tip-off is that official sign
and bridge crews normally work
days, while most thieves work at
night
To report a suspicious looking
highway crew. State Police say to
use a telephone, not a citizen's hand
radio Many thieves monitor CB and
police radio in case they need to
make a quick get away
