Elementary students earn R & W reading certificate treats Photo by Pam Minster lo n e students put Brutus on trial Jim Raible's eigth grade English class has been studying “ The Trial of Brutus.” The murder occurred over two thousand years ago; everyone knew who committed the crime but many questions still persist about the assassination of Julius Caesar. After reading William Shakespeare's play about the Roman ruler and the con spirators who stabbed him on the steps of the Capitol, the sophomore class at lone High school put the main character, Brutus, on trial. The defense attorney was Crystal Minster, prosecuting attorney was Danielle Stefani and Brutus was Erika Bergstrom. That Brutus had been one of the group to kill Caesar was not in ques tion. The jury in this trial had the dif ficult task of deciding whether or not Brutus as a traitor. After three days of pre-trial preparation, the prosecu tion was ready to present its case. The prosecution had a very strong case and it looked like they were go ing to win. The next day the defense gave its case and Brutus was brought to the stand and questioned. In the cross-examination by the pro secuting attorney, Brutus was asked to read the definition of “ treason” and of “ traitor.” Then when asked if he was a traitor Brutus replied, “ No. I killed my friend for my love of Rome.” The jury left the room and deliberated, returning with the ver dict. Brutus was not guilty of being a traitor or of committing treason. Finally, after two thousand years, Marcus Brutus can rest knowing that he had not wronged his beloved friend. Are septic systems and disposals compatible? One of the questions most fre quently asked by people living in a home with a septic system is, “ can I install/use a garbage disposal with my septic system?” The answer may be “ yes" or “ no” depending on the homeowner’s willingness to follow wise septic system management guidelines. Septic systems consist of the plum bing in which the waste water leaves the house, the septic tank, and the drain field. In the septic tank, solids settle to the bottom before the liquid wastes continues on to the drain field. The septic tank is sized to accom modate normal household waste loads, according to OSU Extension housing specialists. Using a garbage disposal will account for one third of the solid settlement capacity of a sep tic tank. This can place a strain on the tank capacity which must be compensated for one third of the solid settlement capacity of a septic tank. This can place a strain on the tank capacity which must be compensated for by more frequent pumping of the solid tank. Septic tank additives are not a substitute for regular pumping If a new septic system is planned, the additional load of the garbage disposal can be accommodated by installing a larger septic tank. For most households, increasing septic tank capacity is not a realistic option, and more frequent pumping of the tank may not be convenient or affordable. The alternative solution which is less expensive and more ecologically responsible is to careful ly collect kitchen wastes which can be added to the compost pile. For more information, request EC 1340, “ Why Do Septic Systems F ail?” or EC 1342 “ Holding Tanks,” from your county Exten sion office. There is no charge for these publications. Work planned on Bombing Range The M orrow County Road Department will be oiling and chip sealing the Bombing Range Road from SR207 North to Alpine (six miles) during the weeks of June 10 : ♦ ♦ ♦ and 17. Traffic will be controlled by a pilot car and flaggers throughout the construction period. “ Your pa tience and cooperation will be ap preciated,” said a Public Works department spokesperson.

Rural health project plans meetings The “ Community Decision Mak ing In Rural Health Care Com munities Project” is off and running in Morrow County.

Topics to be covered include problem solving skills, focus group research skills and nominal group technique (deci sion making skills for large groups.) One role of the health care coun cil representative is to help identify health care concerns and priorities of Morrow County citizens and to com municate these to the Morrow Coun ty Medical Board. Concerns, priorities and goals will be establish ed at two community-wide goal setting meetings, conducted by the Morrow County Health Care Coun cil. The first of these two meetings will be held in Boardman on June 20 at 7 p.m. in the Riverside High School cafeteria. The second meeting will be held in Heppner on June 27 at 7 p.m. at the Morrow County Fairgrounds pavilion building. “ Two meetings are necessary to accommodate the widespread, general population of Morrow County. All Morrow Coun ty citizens are strongly encouraged to attend these goal setting meetings,” said Sagely. “ The Morrow County Medical Board is seeking input from county residents and through the CDM pro ject have provided the structure for this communication to take place,” Sagely said. “ This is an opportuni ty for Morrow County citizens to play an influential role in establishing the direction of their health care system,” she added. Sagely also stated that “ rural health care providers and consumers are in creasingly confronted by many situa tions that jeopardize the health of their health care system. This is our chance to ensure a continued “ healthy” health care system in Morrow County.” Anyone wanting more information on the CDM project may contact Pam Sagely at 676-9122 or stop by her office at Columbia Basin Elec tric Cooperative.
