Poultry Ambassador Is Sister To Last Year’s Poultry Queen
(Continued from Pago 1)
Michelle is especially looking
forward to helping with Ag in the
Classroom. In this program, she
will tell children about raising
chickens, turkeys, and eggs and the
importance of including these pro
ducts in their diets.
Michelle is a peppy, enthusias
tic teen-ager who recently has had
to make major adjustments to her
schedule. She tore a knee ligament
during a school volleyball match
on September 1. The tear will
require total ligament reconstruc
tion surgery, which means no
sports for probably nine to 12
months. That means that Michelle
can no longer play volleyball
although she can continue her
responsibilities as team captain.
se goose gourds may not be considered bona-fide
poultry, but Michelle promotes them at the family’s produce
stand. Her mother Lucy dresses some to sell and others are
sold plain for customers to dress or display.

The recuperation period will also
hinder her participation on the
school softball team on which she
played for two years. She can no
longer be a waitress at her part
time job at the Cloister Restaurant.
But the injury does have some
advantages. Michelle said that she
can’t pick pumpkins for the fami
ly’s produce stand.
During the growing season, she,
her two sisters, and several other
teens pick cucumbers, peppers,
zucchini, green beans, com, canta
loupes, and watermelons from the
20 acres of produce. Now, the
pumpkin season is in full swing,
but Michele can’t bend to pick up
the pumpkins and carry them.
“The disadvantages of my
injury far outweigh the advan-
Compliments of
(ages,” said Michele who is trying
to keep a positive attitude despite
the adjustments.
With less time to spend on
sports, Michelle will have more
time to study and achieve her goal
of graduating cum laude in the
spring. At school, she carries a full
load of business courses, such as
accounting 11, business law, office
procedures, and sales and market
This mode of transportation Is used when hauling produce from the field to the
roadside stand. The three Stauffer sisters take a visitor for a ride. During the growing
season, the sisters pick the produce dally and take turns working at the roadside
stand.
