"All of you, drink: This cup is the new covenant, in my blood." It is faith that touches the Lord. But when the Lord says something like this, how do you believe it? Obviously, by ead'ng and drinking. We obey the command. We trust that God is able to give what he promised. And so the Lord touches us that we may reach out to Him. Which is what "sacraments" make possible: faith's communion with the Lord as a gift to the whole person. Hope Lutheran Church Heppner Valby Lutheran Church lone-Gooseberry John Maas, Pastor 676-9940 With the beginning of summer, the usual team sports seem to attract less attention than the recreational pursuits in the nearby mountains and on the golf course. The county roads are normally filled with tourist traffic ' : streaming to Penland Lake or Bull Prairie Reservoir for i weekend campouts. During a recent news assignment in the Heppner Ranger ; District, I had a chance to drive through the almost untouched forest meadows between Bull Prairie and Tupper : Guard Station and noticed a group of R V's parked in a quiet, : forested field. They appeared to be enjoying "getting aui i from it all" away from the regular campgrounds. The reservoir looked peaceful with only a few nprk : visitors and YCC workers, untouched by weekend boafmg i activities. The Youth Conservation Corps has announced ; plans for a second fishing dock to be built on the lake, adding to its fishing accessibility for those visitors without boats, i Because of the approaching fire season, forest visitors : are advised to carry a shovel and bucket in their car and during Fourth of July, to keep carnpfires within established s parks. Keep Oregon green and beautiful. It would be a great idea on Fourth of July if one of the s communities or group of citizens in Morrow County arranged i sporting events in a celebration of the holiday. I "feel such 1 ; events as a youth and adult bicycle race, lake rubber raft or i inner tube race on Penland Lake or Bull Prairie might keep : people at home and save on gas supplies. ; ' If your sport is horseshoe pitching, you might be J i interested in watching the Oregon Open Money Horseshoe ; Tournament Saturday and Sunday, June 30 and July 1 on the ' i Weber Field Courts in Hermiston. The tourney is expected to t ; draw some of the top men and women pitchers from , -throughout the Pacific Northwest.

Janet Streight Oregon City, OR Boardman Coal Plant Passes Midway Mark One of the several needed generating plants that has not been delayed and is on schedule in the Northwest is the 530,000 kilowatt Boardman coal-fired plant in North Central Oregon. Approximately 1000 workmen are on the job putting the plant past the midway mark with a construction schedule calling for it to produce electricity by late summer, 1980. Con tracts totalling $200 million have been let since construction began in February, 1976. The plant, owned principally by PGE, will represent a total investment of an estimated $535 million. "Keep Trojan Working" Say Nearby Residents .Following the accident at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania in March, 1979, PGE hired the independent sur vey firm of Batdsley & Haslacher to find out how the residents of Columbia County felt about the Trojan plant. The interviewers asked the straightforward question of "Would you favor or oppose shutting down the Trojan nuclear plant in Oregon?" The results: 87 per cent opposed shutting down of Trojan 7 per cent favored the shutting down of Trojan; 6 percent were undecided. The plant, as most PGE customers know, is located in Columbia County and almost nine out of 10 of those residents oppose shutting down the plant. PGE thanks those residents for their resounding vote of confidence in the operation of Trojan. PGE, Four Other Utilities To Select Geothermal Site As part of its program in developing alterna tive generating resources, PGE is participating with four other Western Utilities in selecting a site, probably by fall, for a prototype geother mal generating plant. The five-company group is evaluating bids submitted by engineering firms to design a generating plant and several geothermal developers will be asked to submit site suggestions later this month. The site is likely to be in northern Nevada. Government Tax Credits Available for Solar Assists Sizeable savings in the form of Oregon and federal income tax credits can be realized by homeowners who purchase and install solar water and space heating systems. For example, Oregon offers a tax credit of 25 percent of the cos of a system to a maximum of $1000. The federal government provides a credit of 30 percent on the first $2,000 and 20 percent on the next $8,000 with a maximum credit of $2,200. On a $4000 solar system, more than half of the purchase price is returned to the purchaser through tax credits. For $4,000 to $10,000 systems, 33 to 50 percent is returnable depending on the actual installed price.
