The cost of traveling is the largest expense that the court has. Since this year’s court members are so spread out in location traveling all together in one trailer is not an option this year.

It was a little smelly and pretty muddy, hut Erin Heideman’s elective Ag I class at lone High School had the unique opportunity to impose on the generosity of a local rancher and watch heifers being spayed on Thursday afternoon. “ It was neat g etting to see the new est management tools that are being utilized just outside our backdoor,” said Emily Rietmann, junior. V eterin arian . D aryl M yers, from N ebraska performed the procedure on over 300 heifers, owned by Joe McElligott, and stopped mid-way to give an explanation to the class. Dr. Myers explained that the purpose of the procedure was to take feedlot heifers and reduce the risk of owning them by eliminating the hormone produced by the ovaries and manage them as you would steers in that setting. This is a management tool designed to improve the efficiency of pounds per day gained and an advantage in feed conversion. “ It was very generous of Joe to allow us the chance to experience this," said science teacher, Erin Heideman. “I’m grateful for the opportunity." Students in the Ag I class are getting a crash course in a variety of subjects including the current unit, animal science management. Other subjects include food science, a g ric u ltu ra l law and su sta in a b ility , crop scien ce, parliamentary procedure and Oregon agriculture. Anyone interested in offering a field trip opportunity or being a guest speaker are welcomed anytime.

Wee bit O’lreland Ceili-ifs tradition A few Irish celebrations ago. people began to suggest after the KUMA Coffee Hour that more Irish music was needed during the day. Thus the Ccili or Ceilgh (pronounced Kalee) was horn and has become a traditional part of Heppner’s annual St. Pat’s weekend. On this 25lh celebration, March 17. those so inclined will return to the Elks from 2 until 4 p.m. to be entertained by the likes of the Irish Singers. Mulligan Stew, a young talented step dancer, and the return of last years sax player. Sax? Maybe not Irish, but if last year is any example, others may just join in for the best jam session ever heard.
