Tage 14 Htppner, Ore., Gazette-Times, Thurt., Dec. 20, 1973 Rainfall damage reported over vido area Zenz trial in Turkey posfoncd Mar than IV inches of rain sent till and water rushing down itreama and ditchet, covering many fields and roads, and washing out parts of planted wheat fields in south Morrow County Monday morning. In the Sand Hollow area, ranchers experienced many soil erosion problems. The Don Evans ranch reported dirt covered many acres of land, ditches and the road. The road near the John Led better ranch in Black Horse Canyon had over 6 inches of silt. Graders were dispatched Monday morning to remove the silt. In Porcupine Canyon, south of Ruggs, water ran over the road causing parts of the county road to be washed away. Soil erosion was experi enced along the banks of Shobe Creek, Balm Fork and Willow Creek towards Lex ington. Bolce Fulleton and Archie Munkers both reported rain had washed top soil from their planted wheat fields. Diversion ditches saved many fields from losing their valuable top soil and curbed soil erosions, according to Don Bellamy of the SCS office. Rain caused Mrs. Erda Pieper, Lexington to become "house-bound" as mud filled her driveway. Almw Butter Creek, the Gordon O'Brien ranch re- , ceived extensive soli erosion damage with the rain washing top soil from the planted wheat fields. A neighbor, Mrs. George Currin, reported that the rain flooded roads along Little Butter Creek. In Heppner, Mrs. Darlene Arrington told the Gazette Times the creek thst runs along Chase Street was higher than she had ever seen It. "I canl believe this is the same stream where a rattle snake could crawl on its belly in the summer," Mrs. Ar rington said. As the result of the rain Monday many of the fields in the county were at or near holding capacity. "Further rain could cause erosion damage and possible crop damage." The scheduled Dec. 7 trial of two Oregon women being held in a Turkish jail for trial on charges of smuggling narcot ics across the Turkish-Syrian border has been postponed, it was learned here last week. The two women are Kathy Zeni and Jo Ann McDaniel. Miss Zenz is the niece of Mr. and Mrs. Paul llelnrtchs of Heppner, who have been in contact with state and federal officials in an effort to have the girls released. The two are part of the "Antioch Seven" which re ceived wide publicity in the United Sales following their arrest. The women have been held In Jail for the past year although four other women involved have been released and returned to the U.S. Only one man, who admitted his guilt and testified that he induced the six women to assist him in the smuggling without their knowledge that they were driving vehicles in which narcotics were se creted, has been sentenced. The two have consistently maintained their innocence. If found guilty they face life imprisonment in Turkey. The Helnrichs received a telegram last week advising them of postponement of the trial until Djc. 28. Wear, V, m if DIAMOND DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER...

"Something from the jewelers is always something special" Mi -fc - a Jx JEWELERS Application (filed for nuclear planf Say Merry Christmas with Portland General Electric Co. last week filed an applica tion with the state for con struction of a 1,250-megawatt nuclear plant at Pebble Springs, on land recently purchased from Krebs Bros, near Arlington. The company has decided not to build the nuclear plant on the Carty site near Board man because the Navy has not been able to locate another site for the bombing range adjoining that site. PGE prefers the Boardman site because of the potential for providing warm water irriga tion to surrounding agricul tural lands. There is little possibility of providing such irrigation at Pebble Springs. Another factor in the com pany's choice of the Carty site is the fact that the preliminary Firemen's Ball at Boardman set for Dec. 22 The first annual Firmen's Ball of the Boardman Volun teer Fire Department will be held Saturday evening, Dec. 22, 8:30 p.m. to 2 a.m., at the Boardman Grange Hall. Included in the $2.50 per person admission price is the chance to dance to live music and enjoy refreshments. Proceeds from the affair will be used to buy needed firefighting equipment for the 30-man department headed by Larry Phillips, fire chief. engineering work there has already been completed. PGE plans to use the Carty site for a conventional fossil fueled power plant, however; but may still go nuclear if the Navy makes a definite com mitment to abandon Board man by 1980-provided that decision is made by May 1. The Pebble Springs plant, similar to the one nearing completion at Rainier, is expected to cost $650 million, and should be completed in 1981. It will use a 1900-acre cooling reservoir with water furnished from the John Day Dam pool on the Columbia River.
