K ara M iller earns ‘w ings’ at OM SI
t
Kara tries on space suit
Kara Miller, 10, of lone, earned
her "wings” July 13 from the
Oregon Museum of Science and In
dustry’s Pacific Rim Spaceflight
Academy in Portland. OMSI’s
astronaut training academy is one of
only a handful of specialized camps
in the country that utilizes authentic
training techniques and equipment to
acquaint youngsters with the rigors
and excitement of becoming an
astronaut.
Forty-one spaceflight cadets at
tended the Academy’s Level I ses
sion July 9-13. Working in four
separate teams for nearly 16 hours
a day of the five-day-long camp,
spaceflight cadets met the pilots of
the 142nd Fighter Interceptor
Group, studied physiology and avia
tion principles, learned land and
underwater survival techniques,
planned and participated in simulated
space missions and even took to the
air in a Cessna 172 as part of this
pre-astronaut training program.
OMSI’s Pacific Rim Spaceflight
Academy, now in its fourth year, in
troduces youths ages nine through 18
to the thrills of astronaut training.
Level I sessons are for beginning
astronaut cadets; Level II sessions
are offered to those who have com
pleted Level I and want more
challenging activities in the space
program. In both the Level I and
Level II programs, astronaut cadets
get a first-hand look at the aircraft
of supersonic flight, participate in
team-oriented activities such as
building a simulated space station
superstructure and training in hostile
environment survival techniques.
The cadets also fly in either fixed-
wing (Level I) or helicopter (Level
II) aircraft as part of their program.
The Spaceflight Academy regimen
is all in preparation for the climatic
‘‘Mission Day” when students suit
up and execute a simulated Gemini
space mission (Level I) or a space
station mission (Level II) of their
own on the last day of the camp.
All Spaceflight Academy par
ticipants are housed in picturesque
campus dormitories, visit flight
facilities in and around the Portland
metropolitan area and complete their
training at OMSI and Lewis & Clark
College. All meals, lodging, local
program transportation and course
materials are included in the pro
gram fee, which ranges between
$520 and $540 per person for Level
I and between $555 and $575 for
Level II.
Equipment and materials for OM-
S I’s Pacific Rim Spaceflight
Academy are funded through a grant
by Teledyne Wah Chang Albany and
The Boeing Company.

Horse Show. She has also received
the prestigious 4-H horse program
county medal.
As a past court pennant bearer,
Dana has experienced the rigors of
early morning parade preparation«
However this year’s court respon
sibilities add a whole new
perspective.
“ A lot of work is necessary to
have ourselves and our horses look
ing good. And public speaking at
gatherings and on radio means be
ing able to talk freely about our up
coming fair and rodeo. But it’s a fan
tastic experience as we’ve met alot
of other courts and some very in
teresting people,” Dana says.

when to be a “ ham,” Dana says.

a 1986 Mazda automobile in the fall
of 1989 The vehicle was taken from
the Lloyd’s Center parking lot in
Portland and driven to Morrow
County.
Law
enforcem ent
authorities became aware of the
stolen autom obile when they

Kochia weed becoming
troublesome in county
Kochia is a weed which is becom
ing more and more troublesome in
Morrow County, says Extension
agent Fred Lundin. It is found
primarily along roadsides, in waste
areas, and in fallow wheat fields.
Kochia is an annual and
reproduces from seeds. It resembles
Russian Thistle, as well it should,
since they belong to the same fami
ly. It is a hardy, drought-resistant
weed and poses serious control pro
blems for farmers. While inexpen
sive chemicals or cultivation control
it. it tends to germinate throughout
the spring and summer to provide a
ft®
Hr
constantly reoccumng problem.
Kochia is an escaped ornamental.
It has brilliant full color, turning red
at maturity. Its round shape at
m aturity lets it roll like a
tumbleweed and disperse its seed
over a wide area
“ Control is excellent using .75
lb/ac 2-4-D with .12 Ib/ac dicam-
ba,” says Lundin. “ Substituting .38
lb/ac MCPA provides equally good
results. Another combination that
has proved effective is bromoxymil
(.38 lb/ac) plus dicamba (.06
lb/ac).” Anyone with any questions
about this weed may call the Exten
sion office. 676-9642.
The 1990 Morrow County Fair
and Rodeo Parade will be on Satur
day, August 18 at 10 a.m. The theme
for this year’s parade is “ Blue Jeans
and Country Scenes.” “ We’re ex
pecting to see a lot of familiar parade
entrants this year, and hoping to see
a lot of new faces,” said chairman
Bob Kahl.
Several categories will be judged
including cars, floats, fair courts and
riding groups. Cash prizes and rib
bons will be awarded, and there will
even be free ice cream for kids under
12 who participate in the parade.
Registration forms may be pick
ed up at Van Marter & Kahl In
surance in Heppner. Anyone
needing more information or in need
of any special arrangements please
contact Bob Kahl at 676-9113 or
676-5422. “ We ask that registration
forms be completed before August
13.” said Kahl.
Parade lineup will begin between
9 and 9:30 a.m. on the morning of
August 18. Numbers can be picked
up in front of the Green Feed Store.
“ Please remem ber that some
categories will be judged prior to the
parade start so you’ll want to be
there early,” Kahl added. “ We want
it to be a fun time for everyone and
we sincerely hope you’ll come and
share in this with us. See you there.”
