Nina Tucker, Heppner High
School Associated Student Body
president for the 1991-92 school
year, had the opportunity to attend
an OASC leadership camp, Sunday,
July 7 through Friday, July 12. This
camp was located on the campus of
the Chemawa Indian school in
Salem.
Over 200 students attended the
statewide camp. Many different
types of sessions were offered. Nina
attended goal setting, group process-
CHEVROLET
mi
tability sessions. These sessions
were made more personalized by
separating the students into small
councils. ’Each council was like a
team and family combined,’ said
Nina. They spent most of the week
together as a council and participated
in the activities together.
Each council participated in mak
ing banners and thinking up a coun
cil chant. They also had recreation
time everyday in which they had the
opportunity to swim, play tennis,
piay volleyball, or just relax. They
also had a junior Olympics, a talent
show, and awards banquet, and
dances almost every night.
Nina commented that this was an
opportunity of a lifetime. She said
she felt that she gained a better
understanding of leadership and has
had the chance to not only meet new
people but make lifelong friendships,
i hope to be able to use the things
1 have learned from this camp to
make this year one of the best and
most memorable for everyone.’ She
felt that the cost for this camp, paid
by Heppner High School, was wor
thwhile and more people should get
the chance to be a part of this
experience.

It may have felt like summer
would never arrive in Eastern
Oregon, but the hottest weather is
yet to come. And with it can come
big electric bills if you use an air
conditioner.
A few simple steps will not only
conserve the nations’ energy supp
ly, but also keep you cool at
minimum cost, says Carol Bennett,
Oregon State University Extension
agent in Morrow County.
Some suggestions for trimming
electric bills are:
* Set your thermostat at the
highest possible level for comfort.
Each degree you raise the thermostat
during the cooling season can reduce
your energy consumption by three
percent.
* Reduce the amount of sunlight
entering through doors and win
dows. Sunlight adds heat to the
house, which makes the air-
conditioning system work harder
that it should. Draw drapes and
shades to keep out direct sunlight.
Awnings and trees or shrubs can
shade windows and doors.
* Keep furniture and other objects
away from air circulating registers.
This helps to keep the flowing
throughout the house.
* Keep windows and doors clos
ed when the air conditioner is on.
The more your home deals out heat,
humidity and dust, the more efficient
your cooling sysem will be.
* Check the air filter once a month
and replace it when necessary. Don’t
let air filters get clogged with dirt,
dust, or pet hair.
* Keep lamps, television sets and
other heat-producing appliances
away from thermostat.
* Use clothes dryers, ovens and
range tops during the cooler morn
ing and evening hours. These ap
pliances generate heat that the air-
conditioning unit must remove. Us
ing them in the heat of the day makes
your system work harder.
♦Take advantage opf the cool
evening breeze for free cooling.
Open the windows and doors you
have kept closed during the day, and
let cross ventilation air movement
cool you for free.
* W ear loose, light-colored
clothing.
J&ff the Wall
By Merlyn Robinson
July has almost flipped by. In three short weeks it will be our county
fair and rodeo. Where did summer go? So far I haven’t finished the spring
chore of desecrating the late growth of thistles. Even persistent joggers
wouldn’t hike a mile in my shoes decorated with foxtail and cheat grass
stickers. And now that the weed control district has said they will cost-
share in noxious weed control, I’m hoping that includes worn-out prickly
sneakers.
My scraggly flowers are beginning to show a promise of color just as
late-hatching grasshoppers move in for the kill. These lunch-bunch insects
are as persistent as the cats who seem to think that flower containers are
made for napping. And my efforts to control dandelions resulted in a slight
case of over-kill as the yard grass acquired a brown tinge.
With erratic summer weather, fair and rodeo is sneaking up faster this
year. But somehow it all seems to come off without a hitch. With this year’s
theme, ‘Catch the Pioneer Spirit,’ my well-patched jeans and beat-up straw
hat should be right in style.
During fair and rodeo week, farmers left working in fields are th^se that
are already far behind schedule. However it usually takes more than > good
old mom to move the farm to town for 4-Hers. Ever try loading a stubborn
hog who is reluctant to become pork chops?
Salaried folks often take precious vacation days for fair week. And before
harvest season is complete, kids will be busing back to school, this time
before Labor Day. There needs to be another month between August and
September. School clothes must be bought for busy growing bodies. And
there are adjustments to be made such as earlier to bed and no more late-
evening television.
We can’t change the weather or the calender, except for holidays, of
course. Even though some think that messing with the clock twice a year
is for everyone’s benefit. And that dependable subject, weather, has to be
studied, of course. It was interesting to learn that it didn’t take expensive
equipment or thousands of dollars to keep accurate records of the weather
in Heppner over the past 100 years.
By comparison, today’s spendy ways are reflected in the funding of a
proposed 10-year, $450 million study of the climate near Boardman head
ed by the Department of Energy. No wonder we have to conserve on energy
to pay for such studies.
The goal of that project, so says the agency, is to perfect computer models
to determine where and when global wanning may occur and to what ex
tent. Those models are then supposed to help the government make policy
decisions relating to global warming. If that happens, maybe thay can spend
more money on controlled environmental domes, not only for homes, but
also for cities and croplands.
Instead of throwing dollars towards that research, the money could be
used to reduce the methane gas emissions and pollution causes, such as grants
for alternative fuel development. In 10 years, the government will announce
what should have been done 20 years ago. But I’m trying to do my part
now, such as informing the cows that belching gas is not nice. And I’ve
eliminated rice grwoing as a farming practice, as I don’t really care for
mud sloshing between my toes anymore.
If the present trend continues to make less Columbia River water available
for irrigation, perhaps through studies they'll learn that less vegetation means
a more hostile environment. Meanwhile, though electrical rates are sure
to rise, I continue to move unwieldy bent-up sprinkler pipes to water young
trees that will be an asset to animals and humans.
Visions of future government control of both public and private lands
are scary, though. If the trend continues, all streams and wetlands will be
fenced. Perhaps there will be a water quota for cattle who must not muddy
streams. However deer, beaver and other wildlife can do no damage. And
before one can turn over a shovelful of earth to find fishing worms, perhaps
you will have to have completed an environmental impact study: one more
way to spend tax dollars.
