On Monday morning, students in a rural Idaho school interacted with an archaeologist in Jerusalem via a vid- eo-conferencing system that connects classrooms throughout the world. Cul- desac was one of the first schools in the state to get the equipment through the Idaho Education Network. “It’s weird he can see us,” said Kelsey Moore, a 17-year-old senior, as the kids waited for the class to begin. “It’s kind of crazy that we will be talking to someone from a different country,” said another student. All 38 of the school’s junior and senior high students gathered in the library for a lesson on archaeology taught by Rabbi Yonatan Adler, of Bar- Ilan University, which is roughly 7,200 miles away. The technology allowed the professor in Jerusalem to see and talk to the Idaho students during the hourlong session and vice versa. Adler told the students he lives in the city of David, and once conducted an archaeological dig in his own back- yard. He showed them several pieces of broken pottery found during his searches and asked the kids to try to identify their origins. “Being an archaeologist is lot like being a detective,” Adler said. “You have to look for clues.” Archaeology lesson comes by way of video conferencing EDUCATION AND TECHNOLOGY IN IDAHO Winter looms, oil company says in request ConocoPhillips wants state high court to announce decision before it’s written By WILLIAM L. SPENCE OF THE TRIBUNE ConocoPhillips is asking the Idaho Supreme Court to give an inch so it can take about 170 miles. The company wants to send four oversized ship- ments of refinery equip- ment from Lewiston to Montana along U.S. High- way 12. It’s currently await- ing the outcome of a lawsuit that questions whether the Idaho Transportation De- partment followed its own rules when it issued four travel permits in August. In a motion filed Mon- day, ConocoPhillips asked the court to announce its decision in the case as soon as possible, even before a written ruling is available. Should the decision be in its favor, the company said, it may still have time to move the loads over Lolo Pass this year, before winter sets in. The oversized loads are currently parked at the Port of Lewiston. In previous court filings, ConocoPhillips indicated that delaying the shipments until next year would cost the company millions of dollars and prevent the company from refurbish- ing its Billings refinery.
