Pheasants produce profits After attending a pheasant production course at Delta College during Delta Demo Day, senior Jamie Nance knew that raising pheasants was for him. l realized that l could make a lot of money, learn more about the birds, and educate myself in business tactics, said Nance. Nance raised approximatly 300 pheasants. He purchased them when they were one day old and put the chicks with a fake mother for warmth. When the pheasants were full grown, Nance sold them to hunting clubs and stock game bird farms. He made a profit of 51,300 a year, after spending 51,000 to feed and care for the pheasants. Nance submitted his pheasants in the State Project Competition in which he received the gold award in division two, the most difficult category. There were times that Nance felt like ending his pheasant business. The birds may have brought Nance recognition, but it was not always fun and games. lt would irritate me when l would bring home a new born chick and the next morning l would find it dead, said Nance. Finding dead chicks was not the only problem Nance encountered. Once in a while the pheasants would get out and Nance would run around trying to catch them. One afternoon my birds got loose and l had to shoot one because there was no way I could catch it, said Nance. Nance, vice president of the Future Far- mers of America, was chosen to accompany Mitch Spaletta, FFA president, to Kansas City for the National FFA convention. Nance was choosen to go on the trip because of the outstanding work he did with his pheasants. Future plans for Nance consisted of at- tending college at Cow Poly and majoring in wild life management. l plan to stay in the pheasant business because l enjoy caring for the birds, said Nance. by Darlene Martin

How about the time you first began to learn how to swim? Senior Jennifer Taylor had to experience similar traumas with seven sixth-grade girls while away at science camp as a counselor. 'lProbably the most difficult time l really had was shower time. Otherwise, l didn't really have too much trouble with any of my girls, said Taylor. Being a science camp counselor requires a lot of responsibility and dedication. Accord- ing to Richard Abel, assistant principal, it requires a person who primarily can handle taking care of up to ten sixth graders. I think theyfcounselorsl quote 'fun' to a learning experience, said Mr. Abel. They realize that it's not theory, nor a book, but . l T 1' . ,X I, .y - f .

Don't think it's all hard work though, because being a counselor has proven to have its rewards to Taylor. She realized that along with the bad also came the good. l had forgotten how it felt to wonder about things, and to see that in their eyes helped me io relive that, said Taylor. Taylor is very happy to know that she is not forgotten, She gets letters from some of the sixth graders she was in charge with, and talks to them often on the phone. l'One of the best parts of going was meeting new people. lt was really neat because we all became friends and we still aref' said Taylor. by Colleen O'CeaIIaigh ' f-si. if 2 .
