Handbook on
weed control
By BOB COSTA
OSU Extension Agent
Morrow County
Beyond death and taxes,
there is one more thing we can
be sure of weeds. Whether
you are a rancher, farmer,
home gardener, landscaper or
forester, fighting weeds is a
constant battle.
A valuable ally in the war on
weeds is the "Oregon Weed
Control Handbook," published
by the Oregon State Univer
sity Extension Service. This
190-page publication is revised
annually and the most recent
edition came off the presses in
January.
The handbook contains in
formation on how to control
every type of weed found in
Oregon. Included are chapters
on general use of herbicides;
agronomic weed control;
herbicides in forestry; weed
control along fencelines,
highways and roads; weed
control in nursery stock and
vegetable crops; and pasture
and rangeland weed control.
The guide was prepared by
Oregon State University spe
cialists in horticulture and

Nancy Bailey of Heppner

Association, according to an
announcement from the beef

More than 2,000 cattlemen
have joined the American
Polled Hereford Association in
the past year, bringing the
total of owners and breeders
of Polled Herefords in the U.S.
to over 230,000, the association
says. The naturally hornless
Polled Herefords are the only
major breed of livestock to
originate in the United States,
starting with 11 bead in 1901.
Today Polled Herefords are
the fastest growing major
breed in the world. Over four
million Polled Herefords have
been registered in the U.S.
since 1901 ; almost one-half of
the total in the past 10 years,
illustrating the growth and
universal acceptance of the
breed.

Experienced runner gives advice
to prepare for upcoming event
On Sunday, April 8, the
Rolling Hills Run Committee
will host its third annual run in
Heppner. Last year, 460 run
ners and walkers participated
in the event. This year the
committee, led by Liz Curtis,
is expecting a large turnout
and encourages everyone to
either walk or run for health
and enjoyment.
The run is only four weeks
away and if you haven't star
ted training, now ir. the time to
begin, the committee says. Al
Beck, a Jr. High teacher who
has competed in many runt
including the Boston Mara
thon, has some advice to help
participants reach their goals
for the run and avoid some
possible problems.
If you haven't been running
or walking, see a doctor to get
a physical, especially if you're
over 40. Also, check your
physical condition by taking a
walk (a good, fast walk).
Immediately after walking,
check your pulse rate. It '

Work experience coordinator's
qualifications to be reviewed
At its regular February
board meeting, the Morrow
County School Board appoin
ted a committee of lay citizens
to review the qualifications of
Heppner High School's work
experience coordinator, Mike
Royer, prior to recommending
in favor of his vocational
certificate. The procedure
may seem unusual, but it is an
example of the way school
districts seek greater invol
vement of lay citizens in pro
viding assistance to vocatio
nal programs, reports the
Morrow Co. School District
office.
Royer supervises a coopera
tive work experience program
serving lone, Heppner and
Lexington students at lone
and Heppner High Schools. He
iiennetl and Bennett Hou
sing offers to arrange for
comfortable accommodations
in selected homes and condo
miniums, offering a wide va
riety of rates and locations.
The material they sent in
cludes a good map of the area
and a chart showing where
each of the 24 major competi
tions will be held.
Anyone interested in this
information should talk with
Harley Sager, the chamber
president, at the Heppner
Branch of First Interstate
Bank.
he, along with Rietmann's
Hardware, Holtz Apartments
and the laundry for a trailer
court, all located in the prob
lem area, had received bills
for application permits to im
prove the system from the
Department of Environmental
Quality. The combined total of
the bills was 1520 to $540, Starr
said. Bill Rietmann that the
people contacted by D.E.Q.
meet with County Planner
Deane Seeger to find out if
grant money is available to
finance a common drain field
for the properties. A common
drain field would require an
easement from the city. No
action was taken by the coun
cil but the matter will be
continued, Starr said. A mem
ber of the group of property
owners involved is to keep the
council informed, she concluded.
minus your age (example: no
higher than 175 for a 45-year
old). Also you should not be
huffing and puffing.
Each participant should
decide what his-her goal is and
prepare for it. If your goal is to
run the entire distance, 3.1
miles, you should be able to
run one-half of that distance
comfortably without panting
or wanting to collapse on the
couch afterwards. If you are
already running-walking and
your goal is to finish the run at
your own pace, you should
have no problem.
If you are interested in the
6.2 mile run and are not
already running frequently,
Beck advises not to attempt it.
If you want to run the entire
distance, increase your mile
age so you are running at least
two miles per day. Beck
stresses that your collapse
point is approximately three
times your average miles per
day.
If your goal is to run faster,
you need to practice running
works with businesses in the
area to place high school
students in job training posi
tions with private businesses.
Twelve students are currently
involved in the Heppner-Ione
area.
A similar program operates
in the Boardman-Irrigon area
under the supervision of Mike
Wetherell, and involves 23
students.
Morrow County schools also
have vocational programs in
industrial arts, business edu
cation, home economics and
vocational agriculture.
Young people coming into
the vocational job market

good work habits and attitudes

running laps at a track at the
pace you want. If you want to
run an eight-mile pace, prac
tice running one lap in less

distance you choose, train
properly to be in condition and
feel good afterwards.
Some final advice on avoi
ding discomfort during the
run. Beck suggests that before
the run, sprinkle powder in
your shoe and rub petroleum
jelly on your toes to avoid
blisters. Be sure to have
warm, dry clothing at the
finish line. After the run, try to
avoid immediately lying
down. If you can, keep moving
and do some light stretching.
