SWC Districts
Dale Boner, Dick McKlligott
and Mr and Mrs Marcel Jones
of Morrow County attended the
Oregon Association of Conser
vation Districts annual meeting
November 8. 9 and 10. at The
Dunes Motel. Lincoln City.
Some 230 representatives of
local conservation districts
wound up three days ol conven
tion here today.
The convention theme was
"Districts Role in Land l"se
Planning " That subject, sedi
ment and soil erosion control
and tax protection for prime
agriculture land were major
topics for discussion and reso
lutions. The next Oregon legislature
will be considering some land
mark legislation on these sub
jects, too. according to speakers
at the convention.
Stale Concern
State Senator Hector Mac
pherson of Albany Thursday
told of two bills he plans to
introduce at the next session:
One on land use planning and
another aimed at giving greater
protection to prime agricultural
land through revised taxing
regulations. The land use
planning law would divide
planning into two main classi
fications: One of local concern
where planning would be deter
mined solely by local govern
ments; the other of critical
state concern. He cited the
Oregon coast and Columbia
Gorge as areas of critical state
concern.
Also on Thursday. Associa
tion President Stanley Chris
tensen of McMinnville told
district supervisors legrshrtirm
likely would be introduced on
soil erosion and sediment con
trol. He pleaded for districts to
get involved "or someone else
will do it who is less qualified."
New Department?
Chairman George Nicolescu
of the State Soil and Water
Conservation Commission told
delegates an attempt will be
made to create a State Depart
ment of Natural Resources
which would include these
divisions: Forestry, water re
sources, soil and water conser
vation, geology and mineral,
nuclear and thermal energy,
marine and state lands.
Too Fa r?
Editor Philip Bladine of the
McMinnville News-Register
voiced criticism of environ
mental extremists who wodd
lock up Oregon's resources
Bladine ranged from fore;'
to land use to DDT in decrying
environmental actions whir'
he said, threaten the livelih .
of businessmen and wagr
earners.
"When you have a poor area
(economically), you have a
poor environment," Bladine
said.
"A man isn't going to be
interested in environment if his
chances of making a living are
impaired." the editor told
conservation district super
visors. Bladine said land use is going
to be the second hottest issue
before the next legislature -(presumably
taxes would be
first, in his view).
Developers
Klamath County Commis
sioner, Lloyd Gift, former
director and president of OACD,
showed slides and discussed
problems of subdivision de
velopment in that county. He
said manv people are being
misled by developers to settle
on land not suited to septic
tanks and without feasible
water supplies. More stringent
state action is needed, he said.
Wes Kvarsten of the Mid -Willamette
Council of Govern
ments said there has been a
"real turn around" in land use
planning and it is now being
recognized for what it is."
The Mid-Willamette Council
of Governments takes the
position that good land use
planning has to be based on soil
information.
"It's fine to be concerned
about other areas, but basically
we had better be concerned
about the livability of the places
where we live," Kvarsten said.
Among recommendations put
to the convention was a plea for
help in bringing about a shift of
SCS and Districts from a
largely rural-agricultural
orientation to a more balanced
effort between rural and urban.
Albany Realtor, Giliy Lewis,
said reputable realtors deplore
the unscrupulous real estate
developers as much as other
people. He expressed disap
pointment that Klamath County

"Were going to have to
accept growth, however,"
Lewis said.
Developer Problem
Lewis said an industrial or
commercial developer has to
deal with as many as 26
different governmental officials
m getting plans approved.
Soil Krosion
Environmentalists have not
faced up to the fact that
downstream, downhill, toward
the ocean is where all the
sediment goes, State Repre
sentative Paul A Hanneman of
Tillamook County said m his
kevnote address.
.Most of the environmental
groups have been blind to the
one thing we have been sensi
tive to.' Hanneman said. "To
them soil erosion is something
that happens on farms and is of
concern to farmers."
He expressed hope that more
attention will be given to effects
sediment and soil erosion have
on people and places down
stream. Hanneman indicated legis
lators and districts concerned
with sediment problems need to
work with "in" groups that
have most of the power with
legislators on environmental
problems.
He pleaded for support and
testimony from conservation
district leaders during the next
session.
New Directors
Names of three newly elected
directors of the Oregon Asso
ciation of Conservation Dis
tricts were announced on the
opening day of the convention.
George "stubbert, Sutherlin
citv manager; Dave Hanzel.
Klamath Soil and Water Con
servation District; and Truscott

director from Area 8, and Irby

New Program
Heads of two agricultural
agencies told Friday morning of
changes their agencies are
undergoing under the thrust of
new programs.
A.J.Webber, state conser
vationist for the USDA Soil
Conservation Service, and Dr.
Lee Kolmer, director, OSU
Cooperative Extension Service,
spoke at this morning's session
of the annual Oregon Associa
tion of Conservation Districts
convention in the Dunes Motel.
With the aid of slides, Webber
showed and told how SCS
personnel will be surveying and
monitoring resources for better
planning and use of resources,
both urban and rural.
New programs funded at the
federal level are broadening the
scope of extension service
efforts, Dr. Kolmer said. These
include such things as marine
resources, expanded food and
nutrition, and community de
velopment. "We are not abandoning our
traditional agricultural pro
grams but adding to them. The
level of agricultural assistance
will remain the same but the
quality should be better because
of better trained personnel and
reorganized staffing," Dr.
Kolmer said.
