CJH students compete in contest
A team of 28 students from
Columbia Junior High com
peted in the computerized
Knowledge Master Open for
middle schools and placed
seventh in the state with a score
of 1,277 points out of a possi
ble 2,000. The average score of
the 1,189 middle schools in the
U.S. that took the test was
1,257, which puts CJH's top
students right in the middle of
the top students nationwide.
The test is based on speed of
answers as the students apply
their skills of knowledge, com
prehension, application, and
analysis in areas of American
and world history, govern
ment, recent events, economics
and law, geography, literature,
English, math, physical and the
earth sciences, biology, health
and psychology, the fine arts ,
and even useless trivia, for two
out of the 2,000 questions.
Seventh place in the state is
the highest CJH has ever plac
ed. As a comparison, CJH's
score would have placed in fifth
place among the Washington
middle schools.
Team members were Emily
Buck, Christena Butler, Caity
Daniels, Julie Daniels, Bret
Files, Cody Gordanier, Stefani
Gordanier, Jesse Hirai, Kristen
Johnson, Patrick Kenney, Kory

students in an exploratory
science class at CJH.

It's perceived by some that farmers and ranchers are wasteful
of resources and they aren't cognizant about recycling. Standing
behind an operating manure spreader could inflict a different view
point. Clanging chains turning revolving shafts grind up dried
animal wastes. Nevertheless a speedball tractor driver pulling
this smelly contraption can sometimes cast chunks further than
a home run.
This fragrant way to enrich ground, particularly within smell
ing distance of a house, is perhaps why commercial fertilizers
became popular, or maybe there just isn't enough animal pro
duction. Come late fall, the pasture surrounding our house often
acquired the look of having hosted 2,000 milling cows busy recycl
ing grass.
The popularity of biobased products is now emerging from a
cocoon stage due to the pressure to clean up the enviomment.
While the use of a manure spreader didn't enhance our enviom
ment for the short term, it did make gardens, weeds and grass
grow. Sometimes hip waders became a necessity when uncured
wastes were added to the playing field.
Pollution problems associated with petroleum-based products
can now be averted due to the use of biofueled vehicles, including
tractors and airplanes. Biodegradable, nontoxic seed oil or waste
plant life alternatives are just as powerful and give improved
breathing quality.
Waste corn is now being turned into cutlery. If Indians could
make implements from stone, someone figured out that wasted
corn cobs could find acceptance at the table as well as the once
popular use in the little house out back. Grain can be cooked
into mash. Old-timers knew that fermented cereals not only gave
animals a spiritual lift, but it produced a definite high for
mankind. During prohibition, I'm told that some country
cowbarns once sheltered homemade stills.
Agriculture continues to move beyond its traditional role of
producing food and fiber. Versatile plantlife now becomes
feedstock for plastics, textiles and even tires.
My recycling efforts include using flattened tin cans to block
mouse holes and fix foor leaks as well as using water-filled jars
to provide a last stop resting place for insects. Plastics with a
longer lifespan now replace some wood and steel products. But
it's not likely that a plastic post can become firewood like a
wooden one that has rotted off for the third time.
Environmental zealots don't want cows taking footbaths or 'you
know what' in creeks. Wildlife must leave sweeter calling cards.
Some people don't hold with domestic animal confinement or
making old betsy into a hamburger. Perhaps biodegradable
animal diapers may be required or perhaps we'll be forced to
grow beans for both staying and putting power.
Cloth flour sacks were once a necessity of every household.
Besides tea towels and clothing they were used for carryng lun
ches and spare parts. A Swansdown flour label on the front of
a shirt could be today's fashion hit.
Garbage disposals aren't necessary where there is a surplus
of birds. Faltening birds is questionable when sparrows do their
thing inside barns. If it w eren't for newspaper, I w ouldn't be
able to burn down weed-infested fences. That is not a popular
practice, but if it w eren't for the reuse of baling wire and twine,
there are other things that would fall down on this place.
Thanks to radiation, perishable food stuff now has a long shelf
life. Some how dehydrated turnips are not on par with dried
apples as I continue to try to extend the life of perishable foods.
Urbanites must realize that recycling is involved when stor
ing water. Ponds are built to prevent erosion, store run-off water
and build up ground water levels that benefit both humans and
animals. Now we're told that developing a natural spring and
installing a watering rough requires a water right that is as at
tainable as a lease on the White House. Perhaps stocking catfish
and leasing out fishing rights will be the norm when water regula
tions are enforced. Of course, the fish will be thrown back to
be recycled. However care will have to be taken not to overstock,
as ponds are often reduced to tadpole capacity during summer
months.

Lori Moeller (30) fights with a Wahtonka player for the ball.
The Heppner Fillies made 11
of 13 free throws and earned
their second league win in as
m any n ig h ts beating the
Wahtonka Eagles 52-41 at home
Saturday night Jan. 7.
At the line Jenny Krein and
Char Coe were both 100 per
cent with 2-2 and 1-1 respec
tively while Kelsie Evans and
Lori Moeller were 7-8 and 1-2.
Evans put out a repeat perfor
m ance scoring exactly 21
points, same as she did the
night before against Pilot Rock.
Heppner led by eight going
into the half 27-19.
Jennifer Caldwell, a six-foot
center for Wathonka gave the
Fillies a little bit of trouble as
she had eight points going in
to the half and finished the
game with 17.
The Fillies, leading by only
three at the end of the third had
a bit of a tough time in the
beginning of the fourth quarter
falling behind by two points in
the final period. A good perfor
mance by Evans, and seniors
Krein and Coe held Caldwell to
four points, in the fourth
quarter and the Fillies pulled
ahead for the win. Krein finish
ed the game with nine points
while Coe added 11.
The Fillies play at Umatilla
Saturday, Jan. 14. JV action
begins at 1 p.m. with JV boys
