Student field trip visits whale exhibit
Morrow County Gun Club m em bers practice shooting
Dressed to kill (clay targets that
is), warmly clad Morrow County
Gun Club members are braving the
January weather for participation in
an eight-week series of telephonic
shoots.
Teaming up with the Walla Walla
Gun Club, local members submit
their highest scores to the
Spokesman-Review newspaper in
Spokane. There are about 44 Nor
thwest gun clubs participating in this
event.
‘‘It’s easy to get hooked on this
sport,” said Morrow County Gun
Club President Loren Woodside,
Lexington. Both he and his wife,
Sharon, are active participants.
Woodside, along with Vice Presi
dent Jay Coil and Secretary Kel-
wayne Haguewood, both of Hepp
ner, are newly-elected officers.
Other board members are Jeff
Cutsforth and Dave Campbell.
There are 28 members now, many
of whom have never done this kind
of shooting, Woodside said. But the
best thing is that people don't have
to feel like they are competing
against each other as everyone tries
to better his own individual scores,
he said.
At the shooting range, five people
at a time assume shooting stations,
rotating after a series of shots. For
these inter-club shoots scores from
25 shots are recorded each week.
At the conclusion of eight weeks
of inter-club shoots, four-man teams
are eligible to compete in the Inland
Empire Handicap Shoot at Spokane.
The highest scorers then will enter
a ‘‘Champion of Champions”
competition.

their classmates have drawn.

visited a robotic whale exhibit
Wed. Jan. 30, at the Tri-Cities. Fifth
graders visited the exhibit two weeks
ago.
The exhibit ‘‘features five actual
size lifelike robotic whales. Each
whale is exhibited in a simulated
marine environment. The sperm
whale, narwhal and orca (killer
whale are exhibited as the entire
whale would appear from under
water while the gray whale and
humpback whale are partially ex
hibited, as would be visible from
above the water.” Also included in
the exhibit is a real skeleton of a
30-foot baby gray whale and
graphics and displays.
In addition to studying about
whales in preparation for the field
trip, the students have also raised the
money to pay for admission to the
exhibit, which was $3 per person.
According to second grade teacher
Joy Krein, they raised $606 by col
lecting cans, selling popcorn and
providing concessions at a Colt
basketball game.
