Wildlife refuge boundary
bothers Boardman council
Sifting through the TIMES

-2,
A storm may be brewing
over a portion of the Umatilla
Wildlife Refuge adjoining
N.W.Front Street at Board
man. A fence has been put up
around the refuge and an
eight by eight inch corner
post has been buried in the
middle of a city right-of-way.
"I contacted John Kurtz of
the Umatilla Wildlife Refuge
concerning the fence," stated
Boardman City Administrator
Jim Thompson. "I asked him
who would be responsible for
repairing the fence when the
city goes through there with
sewer and water lines. He
didn't have an answer." The
city expects sewer and water
line construction to be taken
through that area within the
next six months.
City attorney, M.D. Van
Valkenberg, stated "if they
have a corner post on our
easement they haven't any
right to be there."
"They are carrying this a
little too far," stated city
councilman Joe Tatone. They
are making a nuisance out of
themselves and a fool out of
the city of Boardman."
Tatone recalled that the
refuge was intended to be
developed into a park. "It
wasn't supposed to be a
breeding ground for mosqui
tos," he said. The refuge pond
is stocked with Gambusia fish
which are stocked to eat the
mosquito larva but the coun
cilmen agreed that they were
not doing the job. "We've
probably got the best breed
ing ground for mosquitos in
the world," estimated council
man Gene Trumbull.
"Maybe we haven't com
plained about this mosquito
problem enough," stated
councilman Ron Black.
Thompson will approach the
Umatilla Wildlife Refuge offic
ials about the problem again.
A zoning hearing for Hard
ing and Hohl land develop
ment west of the city is set for
July 19 at 7:30 p.m. The
property is currently zoned
for farm use. The proposed
change would make the site
eligible for general residential
use. That zone would allow
duplex construction.
Some split exists among the
council regarding allowing
duplex building in rural sec
tions of the Boardman area.

The Fourth Annual sidewalk Sale topped the Times front
page this week in 1967.
"Business and entertainment in Heppner will take to the
sidewalks Friday and Saturday of the Sidewalk Bazaar.
There will be hundreds of bargins, lots of entertainment and
a barrel of fun for all, according to Bill Hust, chairman of the
merchants committee".
Planned were a pancake and sausage breakfast prepared
by the Jaycees along with a visit by the Drum and Bugle
Corps of Pendleton.
While the merchants and groups prepared for the
festivities, the Times reported, "there was no holiday on the
grain harvest this week, as barley and wheat started moving
towards elevators in a steadily increasing 5trfarr of trucks.
Both Lexington and North Lexington elevators were in full
operation and it was expected that lore and Heppner
elevators would be well under way by the end of the week".
i ins week in BS7, the Times' reported the reunion 'of
Heppner High School's Class of '47.
This week in 1957, the Times reported the reunion Saturday
Activities included a banquet at the American
Legion hall and a picnic at Cutsforths' cabin with each
alumnus reporting on his or her current activities.
"Joe French was master of ceremonies. The welcome was
given by Randall Peterson. A highly amusing song "Why
Women Wear Britches" was sung by Don Munkers. The class
will, originally written in 1947, was read by Bud Peck and the
class prophecy by Bob Mollahan."
Hospital news headed this week's 1947 edition of the Times.
"Prospects for early construction of the proposed Morrow
County hosptial were brighteded when approximately 40
citizens, many of them women, met with the hospital
committee at the Courthouse to discuss problems confronting
those charged with the duty of erecting the building".
Obviously the problems did not prove to be insurmountable.
"Shades of 1918!" announced this week's Times edition in
1937.
"So thought the Fourth of July stay-at-homes when the fire
siren sounded Sunday afternoon. Fear, which gripped hearts
as immediatley recalled was the devastating blaze on the
nation's birthday in 1918, was relieved when a small grass
fire on the east hillside was found to be the cause of alarm."
On the medical front this week in 1927, Arthur Brisbane
offers the following; "If past 40, please read. Five great
dangers that threaten you are kidney, trouble, heart disease,
tuberculosis, Bright's disease and paralysis. It is possible,
but furtunately unusual, to have all of them. Also, with a little
thought and common sense, you may avoid all of them. For
ALL disease there are remedies. ..cheerful thought,
moderate excercise, slow, temperate eating and regular
sleep.

Groundwater hearings
ruling expected
Area farmers and ranchers
called a cross-section of pro
fessional witnesses to their
defense during the State
Water Resources Depart
ment's proposed Butter Creek
critical ground water hearing
that concluded Friday, July 1.
Lexington farmer Larry Lind
sey presented some defense
evidence of his own. He
opposed earlier testimony
given by state water resourc
es employee, Dennis Glender.
All testimony offered dur
ing the hearing has been
taken back to the depart
ments Salem office for evalu
ation and final ruling. That
final decision will be made by
Water Resources Director
James Sexson. Sexson was
absent from the entire day of
testimony Friday. Attorney's
representing the various
farming interests called that
fact to the attention of the
hearing record.
Vacation Bible school
in Irrigon July 25-29
A vacation Bible School with
the theme "The Life of Christ"
will be conducted July 25-29 at
the Community Baptist Church
in Irrigon. The sessions will be
from 9:30 a.m. until noon for
children of the community four
years old through the sixth
grade.
There will be a pre-registra-

Last weekend, the Wagon
Wheel Cafe was the site of what
could be one of the last in a
succession of annual banquets
featuring that debateable deli
cacy known as the "Rocky
Mountain Oyster".
More than 25 persons gather
ed on Sunday afternoon, July 3,
to partake -in the feast supple
mented with frog legs and
steak. The main dishes were
prepared by Ron and Olivia
Palmer. Alvina and Darrell
Padberg have served as chair
persons for recent feeds and
have been assisted by the Pat
O'Briens and the Larry Procks.
These "special feeds" have
been a tradition for Heppner's
stout-hearted diners for around
12 years. With recent changes in
cattle "marking" techniques, it
is feared by some that the
celebrated "oyster" may be a
thing of the past. Of course,
there are others who could care
less.
tion July 13 at the church from
10 a.m. until noon to insure the
best possible preparation can be
made for the children who will
attend. The school will be

church, Carl A. Wright.

Things are historically or, if you please, hysterically quiet
in Heppner on the Fourth of July. To quote Mayor Jerry
Sweeney, "On the Fourth of July in Heppner you can shoot a
cannon down Main Street and not even hit a dog."
Such was the case in Heppner until late in the afternoon,
July 4, when a few dogs and a few cars, accompanied by their
people, managed to reach the streets.
Overheard at the Heppner swimming pool. First
swimmer: "Did you hear about the fellow who came up to
Noah and ask what he was building?" Second swimmer:
"No." First swimmer, speaking for Noah: "I can't tell you
but I can give you a hint. How long can you tread water? Hee,
HeeHee!"
"The best things in life are free," goes the old song. In
today's economy you wouldn't know it. I don't suppose that
anyone who measures things in dollars will ever know it.
As I learned last week there are good rumors and bad
rumors. A rumor is a statement of condition which doesn't
come from the horse's mouth.
Among the elements of a good rumor is an element of truth.
To continue in the air the good rumor must not only have
some element of truth but is must be something that can be
believed. Without these two elements most rumors generally
meet a quick and well deserved death.
Parks by my definition are state or national nature
museums where people go to contemplate upon the society
they have yet to subdue.
At one time I defined peace as a future state of blessedness
where the lion will lie down with the lamb and starve to
death. This week it could have been defined as the Fourth of
July in Heppner. Rumor has it that all the noise makers from
Heppner were either recovering from the trip to Ukiah tor
the Basque barbeque or living it up in Condon.
We will never know, but we are certain of some things A

How to destroy perennial weed patches
in cropland rotated to wheat . . .
IHIflU ram vnth BfWEtf
hefbidde . . . liquid or granular
You con kill out patches of field bindweed, leafy spurge,
Canada thistle, Russian knapweed, curly dock, bitter dock, tansy
ragwort. . .deep-rooted, wheat-choking perennials.
Spot application of Danvel herbicide destroys all these tough
ones. . .that 2,4-D alone does NOT control.
Time to apply? Midsummer to fall . . .when weeds are actively
growing. A powerful systemic weedkiller, Danvel penetrates
leaves and stems, moves through the plant destroying tissue as
it goes to tne tips or tne roots.
With the first rainfall, Danvel 5G
(granular) moves into the soil to
the root zone. It's taken up by the
roots and is translocated through
the plant. The weed dies!
It's important to hit 'em with
Danvel BEFORE perennials spread.
For apf lication details, ask us
about Danvel herbicide. . .from
Velsicol.
Before using any pesticide, read the label.
