Detail of Ernmaus
by Karl 5chmidt-Rottluff, 1918
Now it came to pass, as He
sat at the table with them,
that He took bread, blessed
and broke it, and gave it to
them, ]hen their eyes were
opened and they knew
Him; and He vanished
from their sight.

a campground and where roads
shbuld be built throughout the prop-
erty. They were also taken on a hike
through the farm and shown several
areas filled with litter.
It was then up to the children to
decide whether or not to place gar-
bage cans on their property or to ban
outside residents from visiting.
"Each child takes on a role of
particular interest," said Lindsey
Reeves, another organizer. "The
directions of the inheritance is that
they have to have a sustainable har-
vest to pay taxes and support the
family, so they have to follow the
forest rules and regulations. That's
one kid's duty and then another is
really wanting to make sure the
soil and water is conserved so that
child really takes on wanting to
understand compaction and ero-
sion."
The students were each given
a packet of information, complete
with questions for each station. Af-
ter taking part in the hands-on ac-
tivity at each station, students were
asked to answer the questions which
revolved around proper forestry
practices.
Aside from learning the differ-
ence between silt and soil, students
were granted the opportunity to bore
a tree and taught how the technique
can determine the age and volume
of the tree.
"They'll take the data back to
their class and figure out how many
trees they can harvest and how many
they have to plant in order to stay
sustainable," Reeves explained.
Before heading back to the
classroom, students also got a chance
to go on the hunt for wildlife.
"Down at the barn, they dis-
sect owl pellets and learn about scat
tracks and actually go out and look
on the trails to see if they can track
wildlife," Ash said.
i Deaths

fore his death
on Aug. 26,
1970 from
cancer.
On Oct.
9, 1971, Mrs.
Horan married
Earl Myers,
also a product
of the Blachly
area and also
involved in farming and mill work.
They resided in Cheshire and to-
gether enjoyed fishing, duck hunt-
ing and gardening. Mr. Myers also
died of cancer.
Due to aging frailties, Mrs.
Myers moved to Cascadia to live
with her daughter, Joyce, for the
remainder of her years. She was a
devout member of Franklin Chris-
tian Church, where she served as
Sunday School superintendent and
was active in the women's group as
well as being a nursing home vol-
unteer.
Mrs. Myers worked at vari-
ous and sundry jobs in local busi-
nesses at Sweet Home, ending her
working career as a cable-winder
at White's Electronics. She was al-
ways known for her pleasant smile,
gentle disposition and willingness
to help others. And her total dedi-
cation in the love of her Lord.
Mrs. Myers is. survived by
her daughters, Francine (Elmer)
Morlok and Joyce Keeney; step-
son Leonard Horan; stepdaughters
Helen Dornbusch and May (Mar-
vin) Antrim; six grandchildren, six
step-granddaughters and a host of
extended family and friends.
A memorial service in celebra-
tion of her life and triumphant pas-
sage into eternity was held May
19, at Franklin Christian Church
in Junction City. Memorials in her
memory may be made to Franklin
Christian Church or a charity of
choice.
Sweet Home Funeral Chapel
is handling the arrangements.

ent at the presentation are, from left, Karen Gerttula, charitable fund member; Tammy Felkins of Sweet Home
Gleaners; and Mike Holden, charitable fund member.
