Over 200 high school students throughout Oregon have been honored. This program is spon- sred by the Oregon Association o f Secondary School A d ministrators, an association under the umbrella of the Confederation of Oregon School Administrators COSA. OASSA has 760 members made up of Oregon ad ministrators who are profes sionally committed to the educa tion of secondary students. Students of Merit: The OASSA Honor Team is a program which recognizes up to 12 outstanding students in a high school pro gram. Its purpose is to recognize within 12 specific curriculum areas students of academic pro mise who also demonstrate overall good citizenship. The in tent is that awards should go to deserving students who may not be among those consistently honored. Each Student of Merit receives a specially designed cer tificate from OASSA. The teachers in each content area came to a mutual selection decision. They based their choices on the student’s continu ing academic performance, pro mise and overall good citizen ship. If there was a tie in an area, 'he senior was given preference based on the premise that this was their last chance for this particular award. Judge Wallace completes judicial course Judge Jeff M. Wallace of the Umatilla-Morrow District Court has com pleted the general jurisdiction course held April 18 through May 7 at The National Judicial C ollege in Reno, Nevada. The general jurisdiction course exam ined substantive law, judicial skills and trial techniques from the judicial viewpoint. The course focused on a multitude of legal and procedural topics and judicial responsibilities while also addressing the professional needs of all judges, whether urban, small-town or rural. The course also provided an appropriate orientation for those special court judges who sit on such cases on a pro tern or associate basis. Judge Wallace presides in both Heppner and Hermiston. He was elected in the November 1992 general election and took office in January of 1993. Located on the campus of the University of Nevada. Reno, the judicial college was featured last year on CBS’s “ 60 Minutes” as the leading national training and education center for trial judges. Founded in 1963, more than 30,000 certificates of completion have been issued to graduates, in cluding U.S. Supreme Court Justices Sandra Day O’Connor and David Souter. BMCC fall term registration set Potential college students in terested in attending Blue Moun tain Community College full time this fall should make the counsel ing center in Pioneer Hall their first step. * A placement test is required for anyone who has not had prior col lege level writing or mathematics and who plans to take nine credit hours or more. The test is used to help counselors and advisors assess student ability in those sub ject areas, ensuring students en try in the appropriate classes for their skill level. The test is of fered at 11 a.m. Monday or Thursday. No appointment is necessary. Following the test students have an opportunity to discuss the results with an adm issions representative to determine a choice of majors. Fall term registration appointments are made before the student leaves campus. Anyone who has already tested may call the counseling center for an appointment. In addition to academic advis ing, the BMCC counseling center offers a variety of career counsel ing options.

Dali in Reese, President of the Northwest Farmers Union, said, “ Farm and rural kids need to be proud of their heritage. To feel pride, they must first understand it, that’s what we want to ac complish at this camp.” Because this Farmers Union Camp is being funded with a grant from CENEX, a regional cooperative with member co-ops in the area, registration fees are only $30.00 per camper, plus $10 for those needing transportation. Camp will begin with registra tion at 3 p.m. on June 14 and con clude after breakfast on June 17. Bus transportation is being ar ranged for children who do not live in the Pendleton area. For more information about the camp, contact Natalie Burrie at (208) 495-2205. Farm group to hold kids’ camp The fact that family farming and farmer cooperatives are a mainstay of rural America is a point that is rarely argued, says a press release from the Farmers Union Northwest Regional of fice. Still, it is a message that may not have been effectively com municated to children in rural America, say officials of the Nor thwest Farmers Union. An educational summer camp will be held at Meadowood Springs Speech Camp, outside of Pendleton, for students third through sixth grades. The impor tance of family farming and the function of farmer cooperatives is the main emphasis of the camp. Fun and activities will include hiking, games, arts and crafts activities. Local ranchers attend Cattlemen’s tour k The O regon C attlem en’s Association welcomed 17 ran chers from around the state, in cluding Kevin and Angie Hughes, Heppner. as participants in the se cond annual Young Cattlemen’s Tour May 12 and 13 in Portland. The county representatives were selected and sponsored by their individual county Cattlemen's Association. “ They were truly a fine example of young cattlemen who are interested and involved in the cattle industry,” said a news release for the Oregon Cat tlemen’s Association. Kevin and Angie run a small herd in a cow/calf operation and work on the Hughes Ranch, on Buttercreek. owned by Kevin’s father. Merlin. The couple has a 10 month old daughter, Jessica. As the tour participants ad dressed controversial issues for the cattle industry, such as salmon. Kevin commented.“ In stead of taking the blame for the problem, the cattle industry can take the lead in addressing the salmon issue. If we join forces with the groups who blame graz ing for the decreasing salmon numbers, perhaps we’ll find a solution. You’re easy to blame if you’re not at the table.” R epresentatives ages 20 through 40 were chosen from Oregon counties and participated in activities designed to teach them about the agriculture in dustry and changes taking place through legislation and technological advancement. The tour was hosted by Baker, Crook Deschutes. Douglas, Mor row, Umatilla and Union Coun ty cattlemen, legislative chair man, John Lillicrop. AG-PAC chairman. Steve Coleman and associate members representing Walco and Merck Agvet. The group left the Oregon Cat tlemen's office in Portland on May 12 to tour the Capitol. While there, they met with OCA Lob byist John McCulley and had the opportunity to see the legislature in session firsthand. Next stop was the D epartm ent of Agriculture with assistant direc tor Phil Ward and state veterinarian Dr. Leroy Coffman. A 'get to know each other' barbecue was held at the Coleman Ranch in Molalla, The tour wrapped up with a visit to Individual Graphics, publisher of the “ Oregon Beef Producer” magazine, a review of Oregon Beef Council activities, and an in-depth discussion of Oregon Cattlemen's Association issues. “ Our organization realizes the key to future development and growth in both the agricultural in dustry itself and in its relationship with legislators, environmen talists and the general public, is the involvement of young cat tlem en,” said the release. “ That’s why we were so excited about getting to meet some of the great representatives from your area. The future of the cattle in dustry rests on their shoulders.”
