Hospital questionaire surveys residents

under county ownership and
direction?
2. Establishing the health
district concept?
3. If "Yes" to 2 above,
should health districts be
established:
a. On a county wide basis?
b. On a tricounty (Mor
row, Wheeler and Gilliam)
basis'.'
c. In service areas (dis
trict located near population
being served)?
To explain these choices the
questionnaire states that if
Pioneer Memorial Hospital
were to be operated under the
authority of a health district,
it would have an independent
board of trustees elected by
(he people living within the
district. The board would then
be responsible for the budget.
Supplementary funds, if
needed, would be obtained by
voter approval from district
taxes.
More than one health dis
trict could be formed to meet
the needs of residents in either
Morrow County alone or the
tricounty area.
Under county ownership,
the hospital's operating board
is appointed by the court and
the hospital budget is passed
on by the court's budget
committee, subject to final
voter approval.
A cover letter with the
questionnaire names the
members of a recently esta
blished advisory planning
committee for the hospital.
They are: Judy Leo Barnett,
Condon; Rep. Billy C. Bel

Elk, deer management
topic at county soil
conservation meeting
Wildlife management objec
tives for elk and deer in the
Heppner, Fossil and Columbia
Basin units will be discussed
at the annual meeting of the
Morrow Soil and Water Con
servation District March 4.
Dan Eastman, wildlife man
agement coordinator for the
Oregon Department of Fish
and Wildlife, who will present
the objectives, has been an
nounced as the principal
speaker for the meeting.
Session will be held at the
Lexington Grange Hall, start
ing at 7:30 p.m.
Eastman, a biologist, will
present information packets
that explain the state's recom
mendation on the numbers of
elk and deer that could be
maintained in the area.
He said the "management
objectives" program has been
developing for more than two
years as a response to the
demands of land-use planning
agencies, private land owners
and others needing the infor
mation. Eastman said the depart
ment hopes its judgments on
the long-term supply of elk
and deer in each management
unit will be considered objec
tively by those interested.
The program also will
include a slide presentation by
Harold Kerr, Morrow County
agent for the Oregon State
University Extension Service,
featuring "a visual tour of
Texas. Arkansas. Mississipppi
and Louisiana."
Palmer sworn
in as deputy II
Mollie Ballard is the deputy
clerk I and the assistant to the
new county clerk Barbara
Bloodsworth, who replaced
retiring Sadie Parrish.
Debra Palmer was sworn in
recently as the deputy clerk
II.
A.F. Lecke, Fossil; Larry
Mills, Heppner; Cathy Peck,
Lexington; Don Peterson,
lone; Dan Sweeney, Heppner
and the Rev. Douglas Thomas,
Heppner.
"These people are donating
their time and talents to help
assure that the health care
needed today, as well as in the
future, will be available to you
and your family," Felt said in
the letter.
"They have designed the
questionnaire for the purpose
of obtaining your experience
and ideas for use in the
planning process."
The questionnaire covers a
wide range of topics relating
to the present health pro
grams and services available
in the county, as to their
adequacy or inadequacy; to "
major or basic services at
Pioneer Memorial Hospital,
and to various personal health
problems and whether they
are receiving treatment.
Also requested is informa
tion regarding the age and
composition of households,
length of residence in the
community, income range and
the source of income, and
whether in the last two years
persons have required medi
cal treatment.
The questionnaires are to be
mailed to the Tri-County
Health Planning Committee in
care of Medco, Inc., a Port
land computer firm, which
will tabulate the responses.
In addition to the mailing in
the three-county area served
by Columbia Basin, copies of
the questionnaire have been
left at various businesses
where people may pick them
up, Felt said.
Tax base passed
continued from page 1
At this rate, voters will not
have to vote on a school board
budget until 1894 if the tax
base of $6,076,300 is approved
by the voters, Doherty said.
This year, the budget is for
$3,670,000. With an 18 percent
increase, next year's budget
will require $4,341,610 and
with the same percentage of
increase the budget for 1982-83
will require $5,136,125. At the
same rate, the budget for
1983-84 will require the pro
posed tax based figure of
$6,076,300 so voters will not
have to vote on a school
budget until the following year
when it will probably exceed
the tax base figure.
Any government taxing en
tity can exceed its tax base by
six percent and still not
require an election so if the
school budget for 1984-85 is for
$6,444,874 or less, it will be
within the six percent limita
tion and there will not have to
be an election.
"If the tax base is exceeded
by less than six percent, that
becomes the new tax base and
that new tax base can go up
six percent the next year
without requiring, a vote,"
Doherty explained.
"Should we not grow as
much as we have in the past,
the new tax base will last even
longer.
"We (the school district)
have to educate the voters that
they are not voting on a tax,"
he said.
The Heppner Ranger Dis
trict of the Umatilla National
Forest announced recently
that firewood cutting has been
restricted to the Wall Creek
Unit.
This area is located 50 miles
south of Heppner and is the
only unit where roads are open
and safe to travel. Roads on
other areas are unsafe for
travel or closed by snow.
Woodcutting permits will be
issued for other units as soon
as roads are open and access
improves. This is expected to
be some time in April.
Under Forest Service Poli
cy, individuals may be issued
Free Use Permits for up to ten
cords of firewood. In 1979
more than 600 people cut more
than ' 3,000 cords of free
firewood on the Heppner
District.
An additional several hun
dred 'cords were cut by
commercial firewood cutters.
A charge of fifty cents per
cord is made for material cut
for resale.
Free Use Permits can be
obtained at the Heppner
Ranger District Office at any
time from the "self issue"
display rack located at the
front door of the building.
Commercial permits can only
be issued during regular
business hours.

Assessor explains
A A Tl Italic
y 4SJ Tom McElligott of the
J ' Morrow County assessors
omce expiameu some ui me
changes made in the taxing
system by the last Legislature
"-"I at a recent Chamber of
J Commerce meeting.

goes above its six percent
If you have ever wonder what your car would look like if you
hit head on with a school bus this is it. Maureen McElligott
of lone was the unlucky one.
SherifFs report
lone resident crashes
into county school bus
Maureen McElligott, Box 5
in lone, was involved in a
head-on collision with a Mor
row County school bus last
week, sheriff reports say.
She was driving a 1979
Chevrolet Camaro on the
lone-Gooseberry Road. Her
bert Ruben Ekstrom, Box 275
Main Street in- lone, was
driving the 1971 school bus.
The two collided on the
one-way bridge on the road.
No one was cited because
there are no signs warning
that there is a one-way bridge,
Sheriff Larry Fetsch said. He
also said the weather condi
tions of snow and ice on the
road caused the accident.
McElligott received a bro
ken nose in the accident.
The bus went on its way a
little later than scheduled.
In other sheriff's news, Jay
Sullivan, Rt. 2 Box 412 in
Irrigon, was cited in the
Boardman City Park for
possession of less than one
ounce of marijuana.
Ronnie Cleo Lawrence, Box
623 in lone, reported that tools
were stolen from his car when
he left it unattended on the
road near Juniper Canyon.
limitation three out of four
years, it must pass a new tax
base.
School districts differ be
cause they do not have to
adopt a new tax base, scnoois
only have to try and pass a
new tax base if they do go
above the six percent limita
tion but it can be voted down
and not hurt the schools.
McElligott went on to ex
plain the A and B ballot
process, which is having two
ballots for one fund. '
Basically, he said, the A
ballot is for money that will be
taken care of by the state
while the B ballot is money the
state will not pay on. The A
ballot can include the last
year's budget plus up to a 26
percent increase.
The A budget has to pass, he
said. If the A ballot fails but
the B budget passes then they
both fail. If the A passes but
the B fails then the B ballot
can be voted on two more
times. If the B ballot fails both
times, the taxing entity will
have to operate on only the A
ballot budget.
McElligott said budget elec
tions formerly could be held
up to eight times a year but
now the maximum is six
times. ,
He said that taxes are now
paid three times a year
instead of four. Persons can
receive a three percent dis
count if all of the taxes are
pajd before Nov. 13.
McElligott also said that
property has been assessed at
100 percent market value in
the past but that next year it
will not be taxed at" market
value but at 85 percent of
market value if it is a
homestead and 87 percent if it
is nonhomestead.
