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.

One role of the health care coun

Morrow County citizens and to com

priorities and goals will be establish

meeting will be held in Heppner on
June 27 at 7 p.m. at the Morrow

necessary to accommodate the
widespread, general population of
Morrow County. All Morrow Coun

to attend these goal setting
meetings,” said Sagely.
“ The Morrow County Medical
Board is seeking input from county
residents and through the CDM pro

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

their health care system. This is our
chance to ensure a continued
“ healthy” health care system in
Morrow County.”
