 Beat the streak.
Such words percolated in the minds of many class 2A chapter leaders at this year’s state Future Business Leaders of America conference in Portland.
Their best efforts, though, could not topple the FBLA juggernaut that is Elgin High School.
Elgin’s FBLA chapter emerged from the two-day conference on an ever higher pedestal. Elgin added another chapter to its story of unprecedented domination, winning its 13th straight title at the Class 2A level.

 THE ART OF PRUNING: Warren Gilstrap, who is pretty particular about how his vines are handled, tried something new with cordon pruning this winter and cut the vines further back than ever before to one bud spur above the basal bud. The idea is that less quantity will yield higher quality. The 2006 harvest from these Kuhlman Foch grapes produced 280 cases of wine. - photos by Mardi Ford
“It was time to either ramp it up or ramp it down. And I think Dad will agree with me that we needed a serious marketing effort,” Warren says.
Rod Gilstrap nods his head in wholehearted agreement.

 PRINCE OF THE MARSH: Wood ducks live throughout the Grande Ronde Valley. The less-colorful female seeks out an abandoned woodpecker cavity to nest, but will accept artificial nest boxes. Wood ducks, and up to 200 other bird species, will be sought after by birdwatchers at the upcoming “Birdathon” at Ladd Marsh. This third-annual event runs May 9 -11. For more information call 963-4954. - Photo/JIM WARD
“The event is a non-competitive birding opportunity for the family and free of charge,” said Ladd Marsh Wildlife Biologist Cathy Nowak. “We hope families will come out and visit the wildlife area not only to go birding, but to enjoy the scenery.”

 Harvesting a buck doesn’t end with putting the meat in the freezer. Hunters are now required to to submit a report about their hunt online or via automated telephone within 15 days of the end of the season in which they participated. - The Observer/JEFF PETERSEN
Just give the facts, however scintillating or mundane they may be.
This just-the-facts-Max approach is what the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is now mandating from hunters.
