C a rric k -o n -S h a n n o n Sandra Van I.iew of Heppner submitted the winning entry in Heppner's "Ga Baile Contest." From four entries, the Heppner City Council selected Van Liew's choice o f an Irish community with the most promise of being a twin-like community for Heppner: Carrick-on-Shannon. In her entry. Van Liew presented three reasons for her choice: in 1972, the population was 1632: the town has a walking tour; and the town resides along the Shannon River. Further information garnered from an internet search with Alta Vista lists Carrick-on-Shannon as a fishing community that also boasts tour boat concessions, T h e S h a n n o n R iv e r suggesting a vacation destination status. City Manager Jerry Breazeale has acquired an address for the city government in Carrick-on- Shannon and will officially extend Heppner's invitation to become associated. He reports that several of the internet sites for "Carrick-on-Shannon" offer graphics and some photos depicting the area and community. For her efforts, Van Liew has received a $75 prize, presented at the "Celebrate Heppner" event on Friday, July 30. As a last piece of information about her selection. Van Liew said that "an artisan resides there, who has a cottage industry using Jacob wool and a shepherd nearby keeps a small flock of Jacob sheep."

The course, held July 18-23 at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, prepares K-12 education professionals of all disciplines to incorporate aerospace education across the curriculum to motivate students and improve learning, according to a Space Foundation news release. Participants of "Living in Space and Basic Rocketry" conducted experiments on Pikes Peak and in the Garden of the Gods to study space flight and its effects on the human body; learned how to build their own planetarium; participated in underwater training; and launched their self-made rockets. The course was taught using hands-on learning activities, which met state and national standards. Instructors included U.S. Space Foundation educators and commercial experts in the aerospace industry. Nearly 60 educators from around the country took part in the course. Dale Gardner, former astronaut and TRW Site Manager for Colorado Springs, was the guest speaker. Several Colorado educators also participated, including Linder Winter, Beth Cooper and Delene Hoffner. According to the release, the non-profit Space Foundation has a two-fold mission: "To vigorously advance civil, commercial and national security space endeavors for a brighter future and to passionately provide and support educational excellence through the excitement of space." The foundation has conducted Space Discovery graduate courses since 1986. "Living in Space and Basic Rocketry" is just one segment of the three-course Space Discovery program offered by the foundation this summer. "Aviation and Space Basics" was held at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs in June, while "Advanced Space Technology" will be held August 1-6 at Air Force Space Command, located at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs.
