arships was aw arded to
college-bound students.

There will be lots
o f fun, prizes, drawings,
contests and, of course, the
$10,000 prize for the Hole
in One contest. The entry
fee is $50 per golfer and
covers the cost o f lunch
served by the Boardman
Tillicum Club, raffle prizes
throughout the day and the
Calcutta/social on Friday
night.

...but no one is searching fo r them
What began as an
education and awareness
campaign about obesity,
healthy lifesty le behaviors,
and prevention and man
agement of chronic disease
has morphed into a wellness
movement.
More than 300 peo
ple in Morrow County have
been working hard to meet
personal healthy lifestyle
goals and model healthy
behavior changes to vie for
cash prizes by losing the
greatest percentage of body
weight in the 12-week Big
gest Winner and Healthy
Lifesty le Challenge.
The Biggest Win
ner will be making awards
($500, $300, $100) to the
winners on April 2 in Hep
pner, lone and Boardman
and on April 3 in Irrigon.
A spokesperson
from the program said, “Lo
cal food sellers and restau
rateurs in each community
have been supportive to the
participants, making addi
tional healthy food options
available, and our thanks go
out to them.”
As a reminder to
community members who
would like to become more
active, there are several
activities in the near future
that would be suitable to
many levels o f physical
ability. Saturday morning
of the St. Patrick’s Celebra
tion in Heppner, walkers
or runners may join the
remembrance fundraiser
contributing to Morrow
County Home Health and
Hospice. (Participants are
encouraged to wear a Big
gest Winner t-shirt to sup
port a healthier Morrow
C ounty). The F rostbite
Open G o lf Tournam ent
benefiting the Riverside
High School scholarship
fund will occur on March
30 and 31, the MS walk
will take place in Heppner
on April 21 and the Mor
row County Health District
is sponsoring the Rolling
Hills Run on April 28.

A w e b -b a se d
grow er-education sem i
nar (webinar) on healthy
soils, sponsored by the
Idaho Wheat Commission,
Oregon Wheat Commis
sion and the Washington
Grain Com m ission will
held Tuesday, March 13 at
7 a.m.
Ray Archuleta, a
conservation agronomist
w ith the Natural Resource
C o n s e rv a tio n S e rv ic e
(NRCS), will address how
healthy soils save money.
The webinar will last ap
proximately one hour. Par
ticipation is simple and
free. Log onto the website
at http://connect.cals.ui-
daho.edu/wheat and enter
your name as a participant.
It requires Adobe Flash
Player, which is installed
on most computers.
Archuleta believes
that farming for the 21s1
century requires producers
to follow nature’s template
and that doing so will allow
soils on the ranch or farm
to function better. Healthy-
functioning soils managed
as an ecosystem w ill filtrate
water and cycle nutrients
and organic material more
efficiently. This webinar
will teach principles on
how to improve soil func
tion so landowners can save
money on petroleum-based
inputs.
A second webinar
will be held on Thursday,
March 15, at 6:30 a.m. PDT.
Juliet Marshall, Associate
Professor of Agronomy and
Cereals Cropping Systems
at the University of Idaho,
will address falling num
ber?, specifically looking
at questions around the
2011 crop.
Wheat quality last
harvest was called into
question, with some variet
ies showing low values in
the falling numbers test. In
this webinar, Marshall will
explore the potential causes
and the methods producers
may be able to use to reduce
the discounts associated
with the expression of low-
falling numbers.
Both webinars will
be recorded and made avail
able at www.idahowheat.
