Economic conditions, water important
State Senator Ken Jernstedt has
been appointed to two committees
which will be dealing with areas of
great concern to his large Senate
District 28, which runs as far east
from the Cascade as Gilliam and
Wheeler Counties, and from Bend
to the Columbia River.
Deteriorating economic conditions
and radical changes in ground water
tables and wells, and competing
uses for water are plaguing the
state and particularly eastern
Oregon. A number of very impor
tant bills addressing these prob
lems will be heard in these Jern
stedt committees: Trade and Econo
mic Development and Water Policy.
Each of them are joint committees,

made up of both representatives
and senators.
The new governor has laid out
an eight-issue program on which
he urged legislative action within
sixty days. One of these priorities is
approval of legislation for a bi
state commission with Washington
to administer the new Columbia
Gorge Scenic Area created by the
last congress. In commenting on
this Jernstedt remarked: "I would
be very surprised if this can be
achieved within such a time frame.
The governor may learn that head
ing up a city with four commis
sioners is quite different from work
ing with a state legislature consisting
of 90 prima donnas."

Town center under study
The idea for having a commer
cial center has been around for a
long time. That idea may get closer
to reality, as the "Warm Springs
Shopping and Town Center" plan
ning project is soon to get started.
The decision to actually build a
"town center" hinges on a number
of issues which need to be addressed
and reviewed with the community.
Perhaps the biggest issue is accep
tance and support of a "town cen
ter" plan. Will the community be
comfortable with the location and
design? Will the community sup
port and welcome tourists and other
highway traffic into the center?
Will the plan address historical and

less than six children must merge
with larger districts. Since the
Antelope district has only two stu

Waterway. Public hearings were
held in late September in Madras
and Bend.
The only major change in the
study resulting from testimony at
the hearings was to agree that a
three-mile section also qualified
for designation. The segment extends
from Lava Island Camp to the
Bend Urban Growth Boundary,
according to John Lilly, Parks assis
tant administrator.
A minor revision was made to
reflect public concerns for future
management of developed areas
within the qualifying areas, such as
the Crooked River Ranch in Jef

The main objective for this year
is to develop an economically feas

approach to this complicated task
will be more issue-oriented than it
was in 1977. The ultimate decision
maker is the community-ideas, sug

late October, concluded that Opal
Creek and Opal Lake, located in
east Marion County, do not meet
qualifications as scenic waterways.
A public hearing on the subject
was conducted November 20. After
a thorough review of information
from the public hearing, the div
ision continues to find that Opal
Creek and Opal Lake do not meet
qualifications, Lilly said.
The 1985 legislature directed the
division to study the Upper
Deschutes scenic waterway status.
The '85 Legislature also designated
Opal Lake and Opal Creek as
scenic waterways for two years
pending a qualification study by
the Parks Division.
