Aquaculture Studies Prepare Students
(Continued from Page B 20)
The operations at the high
school are crude, by technological
standards, but they work to show
that there is unseen potential in
objects.
All of these projects speak to
what Martin is trying to convey to
his charges that they can do
work that brings more than one
reward, that they can enjoy the
work, and that they can do things
with what they have in their minds,
not just with what is given to them
by others.
Martin is also trying to teach the
students how to think things
through full circle.
While certain studies help the
development of three-dimensional
understanding, such as industrial
arts, Martin tries to expend that
type of understanding to systems.
A real world example of the dif
femce in approach wodld be with a
given a task to develop a residen
tial development for people.
Current practice is to meet legal

Given the same task using a
sytematic approach, human needs
would be addressed to ensure a
healthy environment for the proper
growth and development of
residents.
The difference is that under the
current approach, no real consider
ation is giveh that children in a
residential development have a
safe place to play, to excercise, to
interact, or explore, because it isn’t
required, and because it doesn’t
easily increase net margin.
The only way these considera
tions are addressed is once the
development is occupied, and then
only if special efforts are made by
community leaders.
Even for those relatively few
considerations which are required,
the threat of cashing in a develop
er’s bond is necessary to ensure
that minimum standards have been
met
Using a systematic approach to
residential development, water
and sewage, recreation, food avail
ability, emergency planning,
storm water runnoff, utility sup
plies, even environmental health
considerations, such as contami
nated streams, brokep glass, etc.,
would be considered and
addressed.
The difference is that, by using a
working system approach, large
subdivisions wouldn’t be con
structed on limestone watersheds
without adequate measures being
taken to eliminate or minimize the
creation of sinkholes.
The difference is that home
designs and placement wouldn’t
be genetically applied to highlands
and floodplains, regardless of the
wind, the weather, and the facing
of the sun.
For Martin’s agricultural stu
dents, most of whom are not being
raised on farms, there is a better
chance that they may understand
the need to develop a complete
production system for almost any
plant or animal.
With the use of tools
knowledge, clamps, measuring
devices, etc. these youth are
getting an opportunity to under
stand something of the extent of
their own potential to create.

For Better Understanding
“I love the class,” said Chris
Willenbechcr, 17, son of Mark and
Wendy Willenbechcr. “Mr. Martin
is a great teacher, he cares about
the students and he knows his sub-
jects, and if a student needs some
thing, he’ll go out and buy it.”
Martin said he does spend out of
his own pocket to keep the facili
ties going. In fact, he buys the fish,
the crayfish and all the other stock.
He said he has about $5,000 of his
own money invested in the two
facilities.
But he said he enjoys the classes
because his is learning too, he said.
For example, the school is the
only one in die state with a permit
to raise a strain of rainbow trout
called the Donaldson Steelhead-
Salmon.
Martin paid for the fish 75
cents per fingerling. He also
applied for the permits to raise
them in Pennsylvania, just as he

had to do to get permission to make
the small pond on the school prop
erty, just as he had to do in order to
get approval to raise Tilapia at the
school.
He said having the Donaldson
steelhead in the aquaculture facili
ty is exciting for him as well. They
are supposed to be more tolerant of
higher water temperatures than
normal rainbow trout, and repor
tedly have a fast rate of gain.
Ibis strain of fish may well be a
commercial fish of importance in
the future of his students and they
will have a leg up on anyone else.
Martin said he wants to see
youth interested in agriculture, but
more so than merely trying to fill
the requirements of an existing job
description.
He is trying to support and
encourage youth who will be able
to make jobs for themselves and
others.
