Changes made in Port's
waste-water plans
Michner and Associates
have made some changes in
Port of Morrow Manager
Buddy Toadvin's plans for the
wastewater treatment system
to be installed on port land.
At the request of Gourmet
Foods and Oregon Potato,
Michner and Associates is
reviewing plans for the sys
tem . The two firms threatened
a law suit three months ago
against the Port of Morrow if a
review was not made.
Michner and Associates
has changed the piping from
10 inches to 12 inches and
recommended the use of
butterfly valves in the hydro
lie part of the piping that will
be operated all year-
Ditches currently are being
dug for the piping. The review
is expected to be completed
soon and work on the project is
expected to begin by Feb. 15.
The reviewing firm is still
working on the sedimentation
basin part of the project. They
are going to inspect the laying
of the pipe.
Toadvin is going to give a
site inspection for Gourmet
Foods because its $833,400
bond has not been approved
yet.
In other news, the port
nominated Dallas Dusenber
ry. port manager at Hood
River, and Steve Lindstrom,
former port manager at the
Port of Umatilla, to the
Governor's Advisory Council
on Maritime Affairs.
The port officially signed a
lease for 813 acres of port land
with Miracle Potato. It re
places the defunct lease with
J&B Farming.
The port is buying used
irrigation equipment from
Miracle Potato for $38,626.90.
It has a one-year warranty.
The port did not sign its
lease with Harbor Timber Co.
because it is having the Army
Corps of Engineers approve
the transaction. The 52.76
acres must have certain
condit ions in the lease because
part of the land has been
designated public.

Elks collect about
170 hides
About 170 hides have been
collected in barrels in various
locations in the cities of
Heppner. lone and Lexington,
according to Glen Ward,
organizer for the Elks hide
collection.
"I would like to thank
everyone who donated the
hides from their animals."
Ward said.
Ward said the Elks have an
agreement with a tannery
company that the tannery will
receive half of the leather
from the hides and the
Veterans Hospital in Port
land will get the rest of the
processed leather.
Ten cow, 40 elk and 120 deer
hides were collected this year,
Ward said. He said about 200
have been collected in past
years and that number has
been steady.
"We have collected about
6.000 hides since we started
the program about 20 years
ago," Ward said. "We had
1.100 the first year."
Venereal disease
cases increase
Morrow County reported
seven cases of gonorrhea for
1979. which is up two from the
five-year average of five per
year.
According to statistics of the
Oregon State Health Division.
Morrow County reported no
cases of influenza, dropping
its five-year average to 28 a
year for that communicable
disease.
One case of early syphillis
was reported, the first in the
five-year period.
No cases of hepatitis were
reported but the five-year
average is 2.6 a year.
There has been only one
case of tuberculosis in the last,
five years, none in 1979, and
only one case of rubella in the
five-year period, none last
year.
Some other Oregon counties
comparable in size to Morrow
County have some interesting
statistics to compare to.
Wallowa County, with 700
more in population, reported
six gonorrhea cases raising its
five-year average to 3.4 a
year. Lake County, with 500
more people, had two cases of
gonorrhea reported so its
five-year average dropped to
6.2 a year.
Harney County, with 1.250
more in population, had no
cases of gonorrhea reported
dropping its average to 5.4 a
year and Grant County, with
1,300 more in population,
reported no cases of the
disease dropping its percen
tage to only one a year for the
five-year period.
All of those counties repor
ted more cases of influenza
than Morrow County. Statis
tics for the other communica
ble diseases were similar.

night in lone that there may be
some extra money accumula
ted from interest earned' on
the bond issue passed last
year.
Doherty said the amount
could be as high as $39,000.
The board members decided
to keep 30 percent of whatever
is accumulated and use the
rest for capital outlay expen
ditures. Doherty said he is
going to ask the county
principals to prioritize their
projects that were planned in
next year's budgets to see
which ones can be done this
year with the extra interest
money. That way. next year's
budget can be reduced before
it goes before the voters and
Land trade...

is recreation on our land. Deer
hunting, hike riders come up
from Portland. Arrowheads
have been dug up. II does have
public value."
Mrs. Krebs said if the land is
traded, the 165 acres along the
- Deschutes will be used for an
off-river campground for
boaters.
Secretary of the Interior
Cecil Andrus will decide if the
lands will be traded. He is
reviewing statements from
the interested parties. Mrs.
Krebs said she does not know
how long the review will take.
the work can still be done, he
said.
Attorney Bob Abrams said
the conditions of the bond
issue require that the money
be spent on buildings, grounds
or equipment at any of the
schools.
Doherty said $1,040,000 is in
the school budget now with
$400,000 of that interest. He
said he has put a freeze on
what is spent to be only what
has been budgeted so there
should be the extra $39,000.
As for the new budget,
Doherty said he has asked the
schools principals to go
through their requests to try
and cut down.
"I don't want to have to buy
the cheapest (equipment, sup
plies, etc.) but we don't have
to buy the Cadillac of the line
either," Doherty said.
Doherty said at the end of
January, half of the school
year will be over and already
one section of the transporta
tion budget will be operating
in the red. He said it could be
as much as $3,000 in the red by
the end of the year.
He said the entire transpor
tation budget should be able to
offset the problem. The reason
it is so far underbudgeted. he
said, is because three bus
drivers have been doing so
much driving that they now
are almost full-time.
Because they are working so
many hours, money has to be
paid into the state retirement
system for them and that was
not planned in the budget.
The school board members
discussed the possibility of
making insurance available
for students.
A student at Heppner High
School had her piccolo stolen
and her parents were trying to
see if the school board would
approve money to pay for it. A
new tape deck and turntable
were stolen from the band
room at the same time. The
board decided the school could
not be liable for the loss but
some type of insurance to
cover that kind of loss should
be made available by the
school district.
The school board decided to
reject all bids for the contract
ing of buses in the north end of
Morrow County.
The board look no action on
the request of John Van

Boardman orders special census
They are going to take-a
head count in Boardman this
month because city officials
there don't believe the census
estimates announced recently
by the Portland State Univer
sity Center for Population
Research.
A spokesman at Portland
Slate said Boardman's popu-
lalion was placed at 1.210 as of
July 1. 1978. and 1,290 by
estimate' as of last July 1.
Boardman officials believe
they have more people than
that in the town, because of
the growth in irrigated farm
ing the area and the construc
tion of Portland General
Electric's coal-fired genera
ling plant.
The amount of state-shared
revenues allocated to the city
would depend on whatever the
official census figure is.
So the count is scheduled to
start Jan. 28. according to City
Clerk Shirley Zielinski. The
census will be supervised by
Bill Barber, who is in charge
)f census and surveys for
Portland State. Boardman
ivill supply the enumerators.
vho will go from door to door.
It is estimated the census
vvill take five days. Zielinski
said.
Morrow County's population
has been estimated at 7.400.
Other incorporated communi
ties have these estimates:
Heppner 1.740 as of July 1, 1979
(tip from 1.700 the year
before): Lexington. 290 (up
from 200): lone. 370 (no
change), and Irrigon. 490 (no
change).
Boardman's special census
will he accepted as official by
the state.
Portland State University
has conducted about 40 cen
suses in the last five or six
years. Currently a census is
underway in Tualatin.
Ed Schafer. director of the
university's population re
search activities, said the
population for many of
Oregon's smaller towns has
been exaggerated for almost a
decade.
He said the recent estimates
resulted from downward revi
sions in the number of people
living in each household.
This was done, he said, to
reflect that Oregon i a ns are
having fewer children, young
people move away from home
at an earlier age. and divorces
are on the rise, causing many
persons to live alone.
"The estimates, on the
whole, are probably better
this year than they were last
year." he said.
"There are probably some
cities that are too low with
regard to the average house
hold size, and there are
. probably some that are too
high, but that's what esti
mates are all about."
