At the Oregon District
Attorneys' Association con
vention in Lincoln City, Mor
row County District Attorney
Dennis Doherty was appointed
to head a committee that will
keep the state's district attor
neys informed on the progress
of the proposed Controlled
Substances Committee (CSC)
changes.
Doherty has publicly de
nounced the CSC's changes in
the classification of drugs and
at the convention, he and Jack
Frost of Linn County drafted a
resolution. The two district
attorneys presented the reso-.
lution to the convention and it
was endorsed by the associa
tion. As the new committee
chairman, Doherty can ap
point other DA's to the
committee.
He said his duty is to "stay
on top of this and keep the
others informed."
At the convention, Doherty
said information was received
from many public officials in
government that showed great
disfavor for the proposed
down-scheduling of drugs
made by CSC.
"The more information I
receive the more devasta
ting I think it (the down-scheduling)
will be to law enforce
ment," Doherty said. "It will
be bad for all the people in the
state."
The resolution presented by
Drugs..

of amphetamines, an illegal
drug comonly known as speed,
according to testimony. Hash
ish and marijuana were also
confiscated. The street value
of the drugs was estimated at
$6,000 and $10,000 in U.S.
currency was also seized from
the residence.
Testimony at the trial indi
cated that Gaehring felt he
could put together a transac
tion involving as many as
100,000 tablets of speed with
his connections. The whole
sale price of the amphetimine
tablets is approximately $110
per thousand.
Doherty and Frost at the
annual winter conference ob
jected that a non-elective,
seven member committee was
given the authority to change
a law of such magnitude.
The proposed changes made
by the committee would
depart significantly from the
Federal standards, which are
now in use in Oregon.
The resolution that was
adopted at the convention goes
on to state that the Oregon
District Attorney's Associa
tion believes the committee
reclassified the drugs ignoring
the realities of illegal drug use
and abuse. The changes in the
drug schedules would affect
the criminal justice system
and the people of Oregon
adversely.
The resolution continued to
state that the down-scheduling
of drugs as proposed by the
Controlled Substances Com
mittee would reduce the
penalties for drugs so that
Oregon would become an
attractive site for illegal drug
trafficking; diminish the det
errent effect of Oregon's
drug control laws; and gener
ally degrade the credibility
and integrity of the criminal
justice system in the eyes of
the public.
For these reasons, the
association opposes the pro
posed changes of the Con
trolled Substances Committee
and requests a moritorium on
further drug reclassifications
by the committee until the
Road dept. reorganized
The Morrow County Court
accepted two resignations last
week.
. One was from County Clerk
Sadie Parrish, which will take
effect Dec. 31. and the other
was from Tax Collector Elvira
Irby. effective Dec. 1.
Mrs. Parrish. who has been
the county clerk for 36 years,
is resigning because of a
request made by her doctors.
Trby is resigning for health
reasons.
Margot Sherer, who has
been the temporary tax collec
tor for the past month since
Mrs. Irby's illness began, was
named as the replacement. No
successor has been named for
the county clerk position.
The county court members
have also agreed to create the
position of a director of public
works, effective Dec. 26. The
director will reorganize the
road department and super
vise the public parks opera
tion, the county landfill and
the courthouse grounds main
tenance. The court is publicizing the
opening and accepting appli
cations until Dec. 2fi. An
engineering degree is hopeful
but experience may be substi
tuted. The pay scale is open.
"We decided to reorganize
the road department by hiring
a public works director,"
Judge McElligott said. "The
problems with the roads is all
I have heard about since I took
office. This position is really
the old roadmaster's position
with additional responsibili
ties." Don Ball is the acting
roadmaster.
The county court decided to
transfer its emergency ser
vices responsibilities to the
sheriff's department because
it can monitor any emergen
cies on a 24-hour-a-day basis,
according to Judge Don McEl
ligott. McElligott also said the
court has decided to combine (
the offices of tax collector and
county treasurer in an effort
to save personnel money.
Persons interested in the
position must run for election
by filing with the county by
March. The new official will
take office in January of
1981.
The court also decided to
send out a letter to irrigators
in Morrow County because of
some complaints the court has
received. Some irrigators are
running their sprinklers
across county roads, which is
a violation of Oregon statute
368.930. The violation is pun
ishable of a fine not exceeding
$100 or imprisonment in the
county jail for not more than -60
days, or both.

Oregon State Legislature can
reconsider the delegation of
authority it gave to the

role and function of the

process the committee uses in

which the
