The SWCD is very concerned at this point about the vast number of hills affecting water use that are expected to In* introduced into the Oregon Legislature this session. Several of the over 75 expected bills w ill have particular impact on our area of the state, and deserve special scrutiny by those who would be most affected, namely the farmers and ranchers who have water rights, or irrigate Now is the time to take a close look at these bills, while they are being formulated in the Joint Legislative Committee on Water Policy, not later, after they have l>een passed into law by the legislature. The legislative committee is headed up by Represen tative Carl Hosticka of Eugene and is co-chaired by Steve Starkovich, a senator for Cancy. Members of the committee in our immediate area include Mike Thorne, a senator from Pendleton, and Bob Brogoitti, a representative from La Grande. Others on the committee are from Portland, Coos Bay, Bend, Salem and other areas of the state. The Soil Water Conservation District is very concern ed about the future of this legislation, and what it means to our area. The annual meeting March 12 should be attended by those with the same concerns. D.E.S.

I have another thought This is for (he general public each day we become closer to being a senior citizen, or a problem drinker Think about that for a lime, and when you pay your bills each month write a check for the Courtesy Car t l or what you feel you can afford and you w ill he assured of transportation when the lime comes for you llrne laughlin The Morrow County Sheriff s Off ice at the Morrow County Court house in Heppner reports handling or dispatching the following busi ness during the past week On Keb 27 the Morrow County Sheriff s Office arrested Walter Kr nest Gerard Jr 28 Irrtgon on a Morrow County Justice Court war rant (or failure to pay fine for driving while suspended On Keb 28 the Morrow County Sheriff's Office arrested Kobert learner Manning 21 Boardman on a Irrigon Justice Court Warrant for failure to pay fine for driving while suspended On March I. a Boardman ambu lance responded to l and I A subject with a suspected back injury was transported lo Good shcjiherd Hospital in Hermislon on March 2. a Boardman and a l matilla ambulance responded lo l and 1. where in ammonia leak had been reported Six persons were transported by the Boardman ambu lance lo Good Shepherd Hospital and four were transported by the Cma till* ambulance Also on March 2. the Morrow County Sheriffs Office with assis tame from the Heppner I ’olice Department arrested Merlyn Ku gene Stone 48 Hardman, for failure lo appear lor driving while suspend ed Slone was lodged at the l matilla Cits Jail On March 3 the Morrow County Sheriff s Office, with assistance from the Irrigon Police Department arrested Hoy 1.
