Hermiston students speak
their way to state competition
BY SEAN HART
HERMISTON HERALD
Local students showed
off their speech and debate
skills at the district com-
petition April 11 in Herm-
iston.
Hermiston High School
communications
teach-
er and speech and debate
adviser Kathryn Podle-
snik said the event went
well, and several students
earned the chance to com-
pete in the state compe-
tition Thursday through
April 25 at Western Ore-
gon University.
She said eight students
from HHS competed
against students from four
other schools: Pine Ea-
gle, Halfway; Ione; Hood
River Valley; and Horizon
Christian, Hood River.
Hood River Valley won
the sweepstakes trophy
with 146 points, Podlesnik
said, while Pine Eagle
earned 58, HHS earned
50, Ione earned 10 and
Horizon Christian eight.
Podlesnik said all eight
HHS students who com-
peted at the district com-
petition will be attending
the state competition, and
the top two winners for
HDFK FDWHJRU\ TXDOL¿HG WR
compete at the next level.
The following is a list of
winners from HHS.
Rebekah Wyse placed

and second in the Prose
Reading category with

er fellows and really only venture
out of their dens on warm, sunny
days. The best strategy for ¿nding
them this time of year is to sit on
a spot with a good view of open
canyon sides and use binoculars
or a spotting scope to locate them.
The animals feed off and on during
all daylight hours and patience is
the order of the day when spotting
spring bears.
TURKEY: Spring tXrkey sea-
son also starts this Wednesday
(April 1). TXrkey nXmbers haYe
increased this year in the district
and they oYer-wintered Yery well
with the warm winter that we
had this year. Most of oXr snow
is gone from mid and low eleYa-
tion areas of the district. TXrkeys
haYe spread into nesting areas
throXghoXt the forested areas
at this time. The best strategy
for Ànding them is to traYel the
forest roads or hike into areas
where tXrkeys might be and call
for them or MXst listen for their
calls early in the morning.
Coyote: Good nXmbers of
coyotes can be foXnd throXghoXt
Wallowa CoXnty. Calling coyotes
with rabbit distress type calls
has been effectiYe for hXnters. It
is important to choose areas with
abXndant coyote sign and little
hXman actiYity.
CoXgar nXmbers are moder-
ate throXghoXt Wallowa CoXnty.
Most lions are taken incidental
to other hXnting; howeYer calling
with fawn bleat, or locating a cougar
kill and waiting for a cat to return are
often successful techniques.
NORTHEAST ZONE WILD-
LIFE VIEWING
BAKER COUNTY
Bighorn sheep can be seen in
the BXrnt RiYer Canyon west of
DXrkee or along the Snake RiYer
Road soXth of Richland. The best
Yiewing is in the early morning
and late in the eYening.
Bald and golden eagles can
be seen along the Snake RiYer.
Take the Snake RiYer Road be-
tween Richland and HXntington.
Early in the morning and late
in the afternoon are good times
to Yiew wildlife. DriYing throXgh
the foothills of the Baker Yalley
and throXgh the Keating Yalley
can tXrn Xp good nXmbers of
deer. 41
MORROW GILLIA0 and
WHEELER CO8NTIES
The Àrst of oXr winter mi-
grants has been spotted a
rough-legged hawk. As winter’s
bite increases so will the number
of rough-legged hawks in the area.
Try any of the areas in the northern
portion of the District to see one in
the grasslands. As raptors continue
their migration into winter, take a
longer look at any hawks you spot
on power poles, occasionally it is a
rare species.
Short-eared owls can be seen
along most of the grasslands
along the foothills of the District.
Watch for the irregXlar wing beat
of the owl it is quite distinctive. We
have had reports of a snowy owl
near the Boardman Conservation
Area. Access is limited but one may
be able to see the owl from Immi-
grant Lane.
Deer are groXped for the win-
ter and anywhere in the foothills
is a good place to watch deer riv-
er bottoms are best.
Waterfowl are starting to
show Xp on the waterways of the
District. Canada and snow geese
can be seen along the ColXmbia
in moderate nXmbers. While on
the ColXmbia yoX can see mal-
lards, bufÀe-heads, teal, northern
shovelers, scaup, American wi-
geon, and gadwall. 2/2/.

UMATILLA COUNTY
Bears will be distribXted in
forested stringer areas throXgh-
oXt the mid eleYations. Low to
mid eleYation forest roads are ac-
cessible from nXmeroXs access
points throXghoXt the coXnty
thus providing an earlier opportunity
for those mid and upper elevations..
)oraging bears can be observed
by glassing open hill slopes with a
south/southwestern aspect.
Earlier in the season bears
can be obserYed throXghoXt the
day. Bear nXmbers will begin to
increase towards last half of April
and shoXld persist Xntil the end
of the season. HXnters are re-
minded all bears are reTXired to
be checked in within 10 days of
harYest.
TXrkeys
are
scattered
throXghoXt the forested areas of
Umatilla CoXnty look for turkeys
along ridge tops crossing between
drainages. Listen for gobbling tur-
keys within early hours of daylight
from atop high elevation spots
above those drainages. Less than
average snow levels have provided
earlier access to mid and upper el-
evations.
CoXgar are well distribXted in
forested areas of the Walla Walla
0t. Emily, and 8kiah units. Hunters
will have best success by ¿nding a
fresh naturally made kill and sitting
on it, or by using predator calls.
Some success has come from
following tracks until the cougar
is located. Coyote are numerous
throughout the County and hunters
should have good success calling.
Remember to ask permission be-
fore hunting on private lands.
