P ro o f Kra d m g David and A p r i l Sykes, Publishers Justice Court Editorial P o r t s h o u ld lo o k a t s o u th c o u n ty Because o f increased mechanization on the farm and in the sawmills, we could see a long-term deterioration ol our town and local economy, an economist with the state of Oregon told the Heppner Chamber o f Commerce Tuesday Richard Kuc/ek. a labor economist with the employment dot sion in Pendleton said that surpluses o f wheat are not going to go away, and that sawmills are going to become more efti cient. As a result small towns like Heppner are going to lose lobs, people, and the paychecks they spend here All this sounds pretty doom and gloom to a town whose ex istence is based on wheat and timber economy Although Kuc/ek did not give a definite timetable tor the decline and tall of south Morrow County, he left no doubt that he feels it could happen ficonomists are not known to have perfectly clear crystal balls Usually there is a different theory for each economist, hut what he says may he worth looking at Diversification is the key. says Kuc/ek, to keeping a town healthy He pointed to tourism, which is being worked on here, and a retirement community, which the hotel project would pro vide, as good examples ol Heppner's awareness of its need to diversify. But Kuc/ek also used the phrase "value added" in his talk on diversification. Value added industry is nothing more than a processing plant that processes, or adds value, to a raw commodity in its area I he potato plants in Boardman are a ginnl example Instead o f |ust shipping out raw potatoes, plants in Boardman process them thus adding value, and providing many |ohs in the area Right here in Heppner we have a value added processor Kin /ua Corp does not just cut logs and ship them oft to be pro cessed elsewhere. The company makes lumber, chips, and elec tricity right here, adding value and adding |obs to our town Why is there no value added industry with the huge wheat crops we produce in this county ’ W hy is the wheat not milled, processed or otherwise worked with here in our community? Has the possibility ever been throughly explored ’ These are questions, we at least, could he addressing But who is we. the Chamber, the Heppner I conomic Development Corp. the person on the street Yes and no We should all be talking about possibilities, hut an organization w nh resources and expertise should be studying South Morrow County. The Port of Morrow . w ith its bonding power and experience and work with processing plants in Boardman. seems to he the logical agency to pick up the hall and spearhead the efforts Many people may not realize that the Port of Morrow ae tually includes the entire county. We don’t realize this because other than the figure on our tax statement the por is not very involved with south county. Most o f its work has been in the Boardman industrial park area Perhaps it is time that some o f the inequitable distribution of port funds, time, and effort be distihuted more evenly over the county. As many people know. we have been contributing to the port w ith taxes and the time and effort o f south end port commissioners. |ust to see most o f the truns of those efforts going to the north county. Maybe now is the time tor a full blown effort by the port to come in, spend some time and money and do a professional study of the economic possibilities of south Morrow County. w ith the end result being land acquistion tor the development o f an industrial park, to support the processing ot wheat Maybe a study such as this has been done in the past, and is sitting on someone's shelf covered with dust It appears it should be done again, and the Port of Morrow right in our own backyard, is the logical one to do it Quick response kept damage minimal Work .it Kin/u.i Corp continued last week in spite ot damage caused by a Tuesday evening lire in the plant's ile barker The lire starteli troni an eleitriial short, (ieneral Manager Hairy Ken nison said I Intricai connections, wiring, and hoses *e re damaged in the lire, he continued l ogs *n h lurk removed are usisi by the plant's chipper, which he said continued to To ihc hit it< >r Raising children can he an ex asperating job al tunes I just wjt shed the second film of ihc Dobson series entitled "Shaping the Will Without Breaking Ihc Spirit'' spun sored by the F-piscopal Church The film was scry inspiring and amusing as Dr James Dobson gave examples o f how children push you .olhc limit and then wjit for you lo gel angry am) fall lo pieces I saw myself in these examples and leaemed some sere helpful lips jhout shaping operale Damage could hase been worse, the general manager said, it plant employees and the Heppncr I ire I kept hail ili »1 been m quuk to res pomi to the lire T in happy that damage was held down and we're back in tuli opera lion so q u ic k ly ," Kennison com i tided Morrow Counts Justice Court al ihc Courthouse Annex in Heppner reports handling the lollowmg business during Ihc past week James Kelly Angcll.
