Harold Kerr named to
Dow Study Tour in South
Harold Kerr, Morrow County
Extension Agent, has been
named as a member of the
1979 Dow Study Tour sponsor
ed by the National Association
of County Agricultural Agents
and D'ow Chemical, U.S.A.
As a member of the Dow
Tour, he will participate in a
13 day study of agricultural
areas in Texas, Arkansas,
Mississippi, and Louisiana.
The study program starts
June 17 at Dallas, Texas.
Kerr serves as Chairman of
the Morrow County Extension
staff with program responsi
bilities for crop production
and community development.
The county has 400,000 acres
of wheat and barley and has
developed some 80,000 acres of
irrigated land in the past 10
years. Educational programs
focus on wheat production
with seminars on the use of
futures as a marketing tool,
farm management, and new
production skills. He has been
credited with developing an
additional program that re
sulted in adoption of a
comprehensive planning and
zoning ordinance for the
county.
As a Dow Tour participant,
Kerr will join 26 other
Extension Agent members of
the National Association of
County Agricultural Agents
from the Western and South
ern regions in an on-site study
of agriculture production and
research. The group will also
observe agribusiness, market
ing, and merchandising activ
ities that contribute to the
economic well-being of agri
culture. The Dow Tour program
recognizes the county agent as
a vital link in the flow of
reliable information from uni
s versity and industry research
to the farmer food producer,
from farmer to farmer, and
from the farmer to industry.
Dow has joined with NACAA
to provide an opportunity for
Kerr to study new and
innovative ideas he can use in
his own Extension education
programs.
No fireworks!
Damaged ballfield
preempts July 4 display
The lone American Legion
Post will be unable to shoot off
fireworks this year on July 3
because the football field is
being reseeded.
Post Commander Jerry Mc
Elligott said the field was
damaged by flooding last
winter and must be reseeded,
forcing cancellation of the
traditional fireworks show.
The organization plans to
continue the fireworks next
year, barring unforseen dif
ficulties. The field, explained McElli
gott, is the only site which has
received approval from the
State Fire Marshall because
of the potential fire danger.
Normally, the lone Volunteer
Fire Department is on stand
by to corral any blaze which
might occur.
Fireworks are expected to
be held at Condon on July 4.
Port negotiates sewer

quest for a pipeline across
port land, disputed the city's
requested sewer charges to
the port's facilities, and de
cided to negotiate a five year
land lease with Miracle Pota
to at $24 an acre, with the
port's right to review the lease
every two years. The lease
was estimated at $37,000. In
the course of the voting, Mrs.
Kyd abstained and commis
sion member, Larry Lindsay,
voted against the motion.
The commission authorized
Toadvin to join with the
Vector Control District and
purchase five mobile radios
and base station for $500 from
the city of Umatilla which is
switching from low to high
band communication, approv
ed $550 fees for the Port's
membership to the Pacific
Northwest Waterways Assn.
and approved a resolution
calling for the U.S. Navy to
give up the bombing range for
private irrigation land.
Teacher contracts approved
Cont. from page 1
If the gas crunch gets any
worse and Supt. Doherty is
convinced that the district will
have 20 percent less gas next
year, the board may receive a
recommendation from the
superintendent to curtail some
events.
At present, the district pays
62 cents a gallon for gasoline
to fuel its school bus program.
But buses average only 6
miles a gallon.
The board called for bids for
two district buses, a 30 and a
66 passenger bus. Doherty
said bids were necessary
because of the anticipated
delivery time. Funds for the
new vehicles are already
budgeted.
It held off on bids for a new
district car for Doherty in
order for members to check
some specifications and fuel
consumption. Bids have been
received from Wright Chev
rolet Comapny, Farley Motor
Company and Sherrell Chev
rolet. Bids were also called for on
fuel oil, gasoline, diesel, tires
and anti-freeze. This is the
first time, Doherty said, that
he has asked for tire bids. It
was specified that the specif
ications include mounting.
Contracts were approved
for certificated teachers and
principals. Vic Marchek will
be the new principal of
Columbia Junior High at
Irrigon and is a graduate of
Brigham Young University
and Susan Black, a graduate
of Portland State University,
principal of the new Sam
Boardman Elementary
School. Also hired were Jen
nifer Byron, Geneva Coker
and Karen Gronquist, A.C.
Houghton, Boardman; Ron
Carson, lone Intermediate,
Lewis and Clark graduate,
Dennis Kachelmier, science,
Heppner Jr. High, Benjamin
Heape, industrial arts teach
er, Riverside High School and
Cynthia Kennedy, Spanish and
science, Riverside H.S.
Dale Holland has been
named as the new head
basketball coach at Heppner
High School.
With 17 teachers left to hire,
the district has received
resignations from five more
teachers, Gordon Munck, Hep
pner H.S., Sandra McClendon,
first' grade teacher at River
side, Patricia Campbell, also
from Riverside, Michael Car
penter and Dennis Toney,
Heppner High School. All
expressed appreciation to the
district for their time in the
area school system.
The district is attempting to
find out the reasons why
teachers are leaving the
district and have not yet
pinpointed any one cause,
Doherty said.
The city of Boardman has
asked the district to install an
8" water line for fire protec
tion at Sam Boardman Ele
mentary, greater than the
original specifications called
for and board members urged
Supt. to continue negotiations.
In other business, the board
certified the district tax levy
to the County Assessor's
office.
