"Principles

sciences
programs.
The course is divided into four
parts: social and political aspects
of wildlife conservation and
management, exploring public
attitudes
and
perceptions,
wildlife values, bioethics, and
wildlife laws; challenges to
management of biodiversity,
including causes of declines in
biodiversity, habitat destruction
and fragmentation, introduction
of exotic orgamsms/disease, and
over-exploitation;
wildlife
population
management,
covering population processes
and regulation, single-species

program s,
threatened
and endangered
species, hunting, and animal
damage management; ecosystem
m anagem ent,
including
landscape ecology and design
and management of protected
areas.
The course runs January 5

BAEPG planning exercise
Every year, thousands of haz­
ardous materials shipments pass
through Boardman on Interstate
84, rail lines and the Columbia
River. A sampling of Union Pa­
cific Railroad records shows that
chlorine, methanol and petroleum
gas are materials transported
through the area by train, accord­
ing to a Morrow County Emer­
gency M anagement (MCEM)
news release. Chemicals stored
by several businesses in Board-
man include ammonia and chlo­
ride.
The chances of a chemical ac­
cident happening in the Board-
man community are slim, said
MCEM. The com panies that
transport and store these materi­
als do a good job-but even with
careful handling, accidents can
happen, they added.
Protecting the public through
preparation for response and miti­
gation of a natural or man-made
emergency is the goal of the
Boardman Area Emergency Plan­
ning Group.
This group and several other
agencies are planning a Port of
Morrow Ammonia Release Exer­
cise. The exercise, called “Opera­
tion Preparedness” will take place
in Boardman in March, 1998, and
is funded through a FEMA/Or-
egon State Police Qffice of Emer­
gency Management grant. Other
agencies taking part in the exer­
cise include MCEM, Hazardous
Material M anagement Em er­
gency Response (HAMMER), the
Port of Morrow and the city of
Boardman.
Prior to conducting the exer­
cise, each participating organiza­
tion or agency com pletes an
emergency response self-assess­
ment of their preparedness and
response capabilities. HAMMER
then works with the appropriate
authority to assist in updating
plans and procedures, identifying
and facilitating needed training,
and only after the pre-exercise
process in complete will the ex­
ercise be conducted.

The self-assessment program is
a tool used by the participating
agencies to determine their readi­
ness to plan, direct, operate and
recover during a critical incident
involving a chemical release. The
program provides facility manag­
ers, emergency planners and re­
sponders with a comprehensive
tool to determine minimum com­
pliance with OSHA standards.
Some area of consideration in­
volve awareness, equipment, op­
erations and incident command.
Upon completion of the self-as­
sessment, agencies gam a better
understanding of their strengths
and weaknesses.
“The self-assessment process
is being effectively used to im­
prove not only the health and
safety of the emergency respond­
ers, it is also improving the qual­
ity of life for Morrow County
residents,” said Casey Beard,
MCEM manager.
Once the self-assessment is
complete, personnel from The par­
ticipating agencies will attend
training sessions. Training will be
provided during the next several
months to address the particular
needs and issues discovered dur­
ing the assessment.
A total of 32 students from
Morrow County have been
included in the 31st annual
edition of "Who’s Who Among
American High School Students,
1996-97".
Who’s Who, published by
Educational Communications,
Inc., Lake Forest, Illinois, is the
largest high school recognition
publication in the country.
Students are nominated by high
school principals and guidance
counselors,
national
youth
groups, churches and educational
organizations
based
upon
students' academic achievement
and
involvem ent
in
extracurricular
activities.
Traditionally, 99 percent of
"Who's Who" students have a
grade point average of 'B' or
better and 97 percent are college
bound.
The 31st annual edition of
Who's Who Among American
High School Students, 1996-97,
published in
18 regional
volumes, featu res over 700,000
students or just five percent of
the nation's 14,000,000 high
school students. They represent
approximately 18,000 of the
22,000 public, private and
parochial high schools in the
country.
"Who's Who" students also
compete for $200,000 in
scholarship
awards
and
participate in the publication's
annual survey of high achievers,
an annual opinion poll of teen
attitudes. The book is distributed
to up to 15,000 high schools.
