The two choirs from Greenville were among only a handful to achieve that distinction during the competi-tion.

Whatzzzzup-stream?Water goes with the flow

Raise your hand if you live in a watershed! Do

you all have your hands raised? Great! Because we all

live in a watershed. No matter if you live in the city

or the country, our land is sloping toward the sea. This

means that water is always trying to flow downhill to

the sea. (Gravity at work!) the next time you are stand-

ing next to a stream, think about whatzzzzup-stream.

Has this water flowed past another neighborhood like

yours? A forest? A farm?

When water falls as rain or snow, it quickly

runs together into small streams. Eventually these

small streams flow into each other and form rivers.

Rivers, in turn, meet to form larger rivers. From an

airplane you can easily see how this stream network is

organized. It’s kind of like a tree lying on its side with

many branches attached to a main trunk. People may

not realize how much they contribute to the pollu-

tion of our watershed with fertilizers, litter, and more,

which dramatically harm our fish and wildlife.

Pick out any location in any stream and all the

land that contributes water up to that point is called its

watershed. The watershed of a small stream--one you

can cross wearing only rubber boots--might be only a

couple of acres in size. On the other hand, if you need

fishing waders to get across, the stream is probably

draining a square mile or more of land. If scuba gear

is required, you know the stream has a large drain-

age area. Knowing where your water comes from is

important, especially if any problems occur upstream.

You probably would not want to head out to your fa-

vorite swimming hole if that morning a gasoline truck

spilled some of its load upstream.

THE FACTS ABOUTWHY WE YAWN

By Ginger Lane The truth is that while there is a lot of evidence about what happens while and after we are yawning, there are only theories as to why we do it.So, nobody really knows! Simply put is that even though humans have been yawning as long as they have existed, we have no REAL clue as to why we do it. There are scientific answers to what happens to the body when we yawn, but nothing to definitely know why. According to www.howstuffworks.com, here are just a few theories: The Physiological Theory -- Our bodies induce yawning to drawn in more oxygen or remove a build-up of carbon di-oxide. This theory helps explain why we yawn in groups. Larger groups produce more carbon dioxide, which means our bodies would act to draw in more oxygen and get rid of the excess carbon dioxide. However, if our bodies make us yawn to drawn in needed oxygen, wouldn’t we yawn during exercise? Robert Provine, a psychologist at the University of Mary-land, Baltimore County, and a leading

expert on yawning, has tested this theory. Giving people additional oxygen didn’t decrease yawning and decreasing the amount of carbon dioxide in a subject’s environment also didn’t prevent yawning. The Evolution Theory -- Some think that yawning is something that be-gan with our ancestors, who used yawning to show their teeth and intimidate others. An offshoot of this theory is the idea that yawning developed from early man as a signal for us to change activities. The Boredom Theory -- In the dictionary, yawning is said to be caused by boredom, fatigue or drowsiness. Although we do tend to yawn when bored or tired, this theory doesn’t explain why Olympic athletes yawn right before they compete in their event. It’s doubtful that they are them bored with the world watching. SOME INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT YAWNING• Yawning increases blood pressure, heart rate and flexes muscles and joints of the face. • Yawns usually last for approximately 6 seconds. • The earliest occurrence of yawning is 11 weeks after conception (i.e., 11 week old fetus). • 55% of people yawn after witnessing someone else yawn. Sometimes the origi-nal yawn doesn’t even need to be a real yawn for it to trigger another person’s de-sire to yawn. • Yawning becomes contagious after the first year or two of life. • Yawning in certain primates (e.g., ma-caques) is an aggressive or dominant behavior, a way to show off teeth and to threaten. • Yawning in front of dogs may relax them. • Yawning is a behavior that can help maintain attention and alertness
