Two Klamath Union High School juniors achieved honors in the welding division at the Skills USA competition at Linn-Benton Community College on April 10 and 11. Aaron Frei, right, placed second among 13 entrants in the tungsten inert gas welding competition — his second runner-up finish in two years. Joey Gardner, left, placed fifth among 32 entrants in stick welding. Both might have finished higher if not for an oversight. “We forgot to bring our resumes and it docked us some points,” Frei explained. They currently take welding classes through Klamath Community College and are receiving college credit for their welding work, although they competed in the high school division. Frei said he will have a welding certificate from KCC by the time he graduates from high school. He wants to go to a technical school in Wyoming to become a custom car fabricator. Gardner said he is trying to get accepted into the Air Force Academy. “I want to be a pilot,” he said.

The Klamath Union High School DECA chapter traveled to Portland for the DECA State Career Development Conference from Jan. 20 to 25, according Nat Ellis, one of two chapter advisers.
With only 20 competitors attending the conference, the members of the chapter had no intention of just blending into the crowd made up of just below 800 other competitors from around the state.
Surreal feeling
Audra Lundy, a third-year DECA member and triple qualifier for nationals, talked about her experience at the conference, saying “Qualifying in three different events was a very surreal feeling. You never really expect something like that to happen. I was obviously extremely excited that my hard work paid off, but it didn’t feel real and it still doesn’t.”
The KUHS officer team showed outstanding leadership at this year’s conference. It consisted of Kira Alexander, president; Brenden Westfall, vice president of competition; Audra Lundy, vice president of public relations; and Kaelea Crosby, vice president of finance. Also...

During the recent spring break, students from Henley High School traveled to Costa Rica under the guidance and supervision of their science teacher Jack Lee.
This program provided an opportunity for the students to become part of a vibrant atmosphere of flora, fauna, and amazing animals. Those who participated worked hard, had fun, were taught well and achieved a newfound appreciation of the world around them, Lee said.
What they brought to Costa Rica, what they experienced there, and what they took away certainly helped to prepare them for wanting to change the world around them for the better. They are also receiving high school credit for this experience, he added.
The trip was not associated with the Klamath County School District and all the funding for the trip was raised by the students through fundraising, work, and donations over the last eight months.
Costa Rica is located between Nicaragua and Panama in Central America. It is geographically about the size of West Virginia, but features more...
Tony Parazoo is a third grader at Chiloquin Elementary School who has been reading this year with Start Making a Reader Today volunteer Sarah Day.
Tony says the thing he likes best about the SMART program is being able to read the books.
His favorite book is “Ducks in Muck,” because he says it is fun to read. His favorite character in the story is the duck and he enjoys when the ducks get stuck.
Sarah Day is a Start Making A Reader Today volunteer who has been reading this year with Chiloquin Elementary School third grader Tony Parazoo.
This is Day’s second year as a SMART reader.
Day decided to become a SMART volunteer because she thought it would be fun to be around the children.
“I also wanted to see if I wanted to possibly be a grade-school teacher one day,” she said.
Day enjoys the feedback she gets from the students.
“I love it when the children say ‘hi’ to me and give me hugs,” Day said. “It makes me feel like I’m doing something right when I read with them because they seem to like me.”
In her free time Day reads Christian romances.
“But I enjoy other genres and romances, too,” Day said. “For instance, I enjoy novels about vampires and werewolves.”
Brianne Elliott, who will graduate from Triad High School in June, was the winner of a $1,000 scholarship awarded by the Eulalona Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
