Aboard were dudes ready to pull leather as they stampeded for the wide open spaces. But loosely tied-up white Nikes had already been roped into a commitment to gallop into unknown territory. City clickers all, 20 Centennial Middle School eigth graders braved a week-long western experience in primitive Morrow County. For the 11th year this annual spring pilgrimage brought Gresham students to Heppner to experience “ a little bit of country" lifestyle. And while local seventh graders and families played host to these city dwellers, Heppner’s small eighth grade class gave up their run-over boots and stomped-on hats as they dusted off their city togs. Metro bound, they grabbed their sunglasses so they wouldn’t be blinded by flashing neon lights while living it up in a big city. After daily exposure to learning in small town classrooms in a school house old enough to vote, visitors hopped aboard that yellow steed for late afternoon tours. They bumped along the county cow trails. And only a minor delay occurred when their charger spooked and tangled with a bridge at Anson Wright Park. For these adventurous Centennial students, country ways included a hands- on experience with baby calves and a shaggy pony at the Rietmann and Anderson ranches. While city youngsters aren’t familiar with hop-scotching around cow patties, they were wise enough to know which end of a critter to pet. And they did leam that it takes some year-around cow-punching and many pairs of very aromatic cowboy boots to produce that favorite ham burger at a neighborhood Golden Arches. Helping to settle eastern Oregon dust, John Boyer’s crop dusting plane christened students with a spring sprinkle. And compared to the price of a city limousine, Lyle Peck’s display of combines and farm equipment made the cost of that Cadillac seem like peanuts. However, the logic of staying in the wheat farming business must have appeared foolheardy after George Koffler’s presentation of today’s farm operating costs and wheat prices compared to that of 1940. But students did leam that the big dough ingredient is in the field item and not in a fac tory product. As visiting students viewed local wildlife not restrained in a zoo, they were aware that a creature called a spotted owl was hooting around in selec tive forest areas. And while being dusted with snow flakes at Tupper, blue bird houses were hung to give colorful wingsters some unnatural habitat. But these urbanites understood the Forest Service’s emphasis on preserv ing the environment and catering to recreation. As saws whined and boards thumped along assembly lines, a tour of Kin- zua Mill Corporation gave them a down-to-earth perspective of how lumber is produced for homes, furniture and other wooden products. At Kinzua’s co-generation plant, there was visable proof of how waste products are used to light up everyone’s lifestyle through Portland General Electric; and how the steam that wafted into the air at this plant is harness ed to preheat water in boilers as well as to kiln-dry green lumber. Opal Cook and Ivan McDaniel might have sounded like they were tell ing tall tales when they talked about Hardman’s historic past and its claim- to-fame as a near-ghost town. However memorabilia there and at Hepp ner’s museum provided visual evidence of when Morrow County was tru ly the wild west. Visiting students became aware that ranch homes are now endowed with electricity, television and microwaves even though some rural students fuel up very early for a long journey to school. Just as jaded local students came home excited about their city experiences, urban students also took home tales of their exposure to the ways of their counterparts. Visiting Centennial teacher, Dave Olcott said it best--“ It’s a short-term investment in time for a long-term investment in life,” when it comes to exchanging places and seeing how the other half lives. Oregonians in general would be more unified in their goals if more people could temporarily change places.
