Proof Hradlnp Dt a rt a a t a a David and April Sykes, Publishers Boardman Airport Disappointing I nude my annual visit to the Board nun airport last week It was prompted by the recent news that M« wtow Coun ty had secured a si/able grant for the County airport at Is lin g to n and I wanted to see how the Hourdman fault ty compared Dismal, indeed The Hoardnun strip was built dur mg W W || for military and emergency use, then became part o f the huge Boc mg lease In ¡984. control was transferred lo the Port o f Morrow ainul much fanfare over plans to nuke a real public airport My first disappointment was the " Private Road” sign I bad to pass just to get there Boeing closed a portion o f that n>ad recently and I wondered if that could happen to the airport section Then I found y«xi can't get within a hall mile o f the airport without going through a locked gate The sign .those the combination lock said "L o c k U N IC O M ” which is meaningless to all hut pilots and they come in from the other side The same UNICOM combination works (although I had to guess it would, there's mi sign) on the double wide just o ff the apron where I found one o f two restrooms working. Ihc power on and a telephone, all in desperate need of houscclcaning The phone works too As a test, I called P o rtla n d , direct dial, on the Port's nickel Could have called Australia and talked an hour ( here were no airplanes, no hangers, mi fuel, mi caretaker As I see it. the Pori was animus to acquire the airport to add to their paper portfolio, hul is otherwise too occupied to nuke much o f it It was finally licensed laic last year, hut still isn't included on the latest charts Ihc Port's lack of development nearly resulted in the loss o f their lease last summer By steadfastly clinging to the "tra n sp o rt" designation, (that's a kind ol super international category) the Port is effectively stifling descl»»pment lo r example, the 700 foot set hack makes hanger con «ruction cost prohibitive Immediate needs are A substantial barrier to prevent auto traffic on the landing strip, an interim plan to allow hanger construction in reasonable proximity to the strip, and a water, sewer ami power equipped pad. rent free, in exchange for wine degree o f security Letters to the Editor Dr. WolfTs experience is appreciated To the Editor: I am writing this letter to thank Doctor W o lff for coming to my aid last Sunday night, when I thought I was havmg a heart attack I had such terrible chest pains when I arrived .it the hospital late at night IX vto r W o lff was called ami arrived s*»m alter I did He gave me a pill and in three minutes time I began to get relief.

It seems that if you want to abuse a law to benefit your business or yourself, find a friend in the D A's office and you might get away with it Is our Democracy at stake here? (s) Vic tor Klinger Lexington, OR To the Editor: For the past several weeks Mr. Glenn's articles have taken the readers of the Heppner Gazette on several trips throughout the nor thwest and have been most infor ming But I w ould like to take you readers on a little trip, that w ill cost only a few dollars for gas and you can pac k a lunch or go w ith me on a beautiful, histone al trio mrht here in your ow n back yard W e start our trip from tfeppoer, South up W illo w ( reek road about 1 mile, we find W illo w Creek Lake, (fishing, boating, swimming, waterskiung, etc ). But if it is hot and you want, continue on up the W illo w Creek valley about 20 miles and we find Cutsforth Park (fis h in g , wi t h h a n d ica p p e d facilities, ptentemg, bird waft hing. etc.). Day use is free, or you can camp overnight for a very low fee, but the trip can really take on many options from here There are many trails (they need improved, but they were made back in the 1930's), there are old coal mines to tour w ith a unique history I like to walk through the area and see th e o kf iMrc arts and the old broken dow n cookshack, the old cook stove abandoned 8() some years ago I let my m ind drift bar k to im agine the men working w ith a dream that unfortunately turned bankruptcy instead of riches This trail, if you like to hike, w ill take you on up Coalmine H ill to the top of tfse highway. In the same area there are many fossils in the sand rocks and right on the highway (only 1 V5 miles above the park we find the CCC waterfall w hich was b u ilt by the CCC boys tiK k in tf>e early 19JOY Men w ith teams of horses owned by Earl's father built the Smith- D itch Diversion w hich diverts thousands o f gallons o f water into W illo w Creek for irrigation. This was a w o n d e rfu l project, for it gave many proud men |obs during the depression days Right beside th«* waterfall in the road t uthank you can find many leaf fossils of tropical trees that can n u ke my mind wonder W hen G od c reated the Garden of Eden may!** it covered the entire earth, and then the great flocxl changed the earth, w ho knowsf Then my tour takes us up to Her ron Meadow where we find ( a li vin 's Cave.

FISHING SEASO N Poles Lures Line me on is to see old Gibson w ho liv ed for many years in the biggest c ave He had it hoarded up and liv ed there year round and c ut wood for a living. From Gibson's Cave there are tw o old trails, one takes you down the north side o f Little Bald M oun tain, the other up to the top of Lit tle Bald M ountain where you can see for hundreds of miles The view is breathtaking You can v e many mountains-Mt Hood M t Adams, Mt Raineer most pro minently. There in a tree is an old mail box w ith a register to sign and it's fun to read w ho has been up to tfx* top through the years. There are several trails from here One go«*s to the top of tfx* Next M oun tain. Big Bald, where tfx* v e w is even more beautiful The old horse trail in the saddle lx*tween the two mountains to the north, brings you back to Cutsforth Park, or to the south brings you to Kelly Prairie O r my favorite trail is to leave tfx* mail box and go west about 300 yards and drop dow n the north trail to lake-The-Snake's-Cave and the old earthquake faults Here we find huge bould«*rs (rushed around by earthquakes many hundreds of years ago. These are fun to explore around There are hear caves, in among the rocks too. In this lx*autiful old growth setting, yrru can fin d the u n i que w ild orchids, m ushrtxxm and just prec tous (x*ace and quiet The serenity might be interrupted only by a noisy piliated woodpecker, who's mad bee ause you are in his territory, or you may hear a great c rash as a herd of Elk flee from you. Then the* trail continues back down to Cutsforth Park Right near the end, only a lxxit V> m ile above the parks, is tfx- O ld Yocom G old Dig ging, The C hina W a ll, Earth uj>fxMvals and other unusual rock formations There are many other trails that offer many hours of hiking too that can lx* explored I wish I could say that you w ill find these trails easy to follow , but they are not Tfx*y need remarked and I feel that in tfx* near future we w ill sex* this dream come true so you can fo llo w them as easily as I do, and v> you too can enjoy this beautiful trip. Many, many, wonderful days can Lx* spent exploring this area, and can offer you and your fam ily unique experiences and hours of enjoyment.
