Letters to the Editor
LCDC prohibits oral testimony
lo tin- Editor
At their recent meeting in Eugene
the IX’IX' voted to prohibit any oral
testimony on proposed regulations
which would virtually prohibit new
dwellings on the forest lands
Is (his because the LCDC
members arc afraid to face public
opposition ’ Or is it because they arc
alrani the media exposure would
alert the public to their real goal of
prohibiting most homes outside of
the urban areas?
Our land planning system was
supposed to he based on citi/cn in
pul It the present members of the
LCIX' are unwilling lo face the
public, they should resign and be
replaced by members who are will
ing to listen to the people

To the Fditor:
With the failure of statewide Ballot
Measure *\ the issue of school tun
ding will come before the legislature
for the second time during the IdKd
session I sincerely hope the
legislature will take this opportuni
ty to show that education is truly a
priority by making a committment to
properly lurid our schools
I believe that the legislature and
the Governor sent the measure to the
voters providing neither sufficient
Basic school support funding, nor
adequate property tax relict You, as
citizen», reeogm /ed this and,
through your vote, sent a strong
message Vv| discontent to Salem
When we addressed it the firsi
time, it was no secret that I was very
disappointed in the school funding
pac kage that became Ballot Measure

those attending arc asked

The long running civil war. north vs
south pales in comparison to the new
feud among us
Some of our long time readers will
know that we have long advocated
peace in this tiny county Peace among
ourselves so that wc have the energy
to field a untied front against the real
enemy. namely those outside the coun
ty Our big brothers in Salem. Portland
and Washington D C pose a far
greater threat to our way of life than
do our neighbors on the other side of
the base line.
Just as wc were beginning to feel
some success in our peace efforts, a new battle has opened on a new fn*nt
that has all the prospect of dividing neighbors, families and friends on the
nature of the Hatfields and McCoys Wc arc already seeing major
onslaughts of insults, governmental declarations and acts of deceit and
deception
This is not a mere north south thing reminiscent of the American Civil
War, but rather an cast west dispute combining all the features of World
War II. the Cultural Revolution and the Cold War
Wc expect full blown battle to break out any minute
Until recently, there were three entities in this fight, and that gave it
an air of civility since each w-as kept off balance by the unpredictability
<ol the participants Now, however, one party is so engrossed in their <*wn
internal struggle as to be a non-participant With the battle thus focused,
wc must brace for an increase in hostilities and a concentration of effort
Wc arc rclcrring. of course, to Ihe battle between Bo.irdman and Ir-
rigon for the title as Walleye Capital of the World
Boardnun claims, without dispute, thal the largest Walleye recorded bv
a Washington tishe.inan came from waters just oft the Boardnun dock
Irrigon claims, with much dispute that the largest Walleye recorded by
an Oregon fisherman was boated near Irrigon i Boardnun folks concede
that it was near Irrigon but nearer to Boardnun)
Both cities have laid claim to the title through official proclanution by
the respective governing bodies Their acts, however, followed the self
claimed title by Umatilla while that city was under scigc by the pn> lumbert
forces now that that colorful major has resigned, it would appear that
Umatilla is again so enamored with its own political struggle as to he a
non entity. (Sec what wc mean by spending all your energy fighting your
neighbor that you have none left to light the world’)
To enhance its claim. Boardnun hosted a regional tournament sponsored
by Mariner Marine last summer and the big fish that tournament (12 pounds
plus) was the biggest fish caught in any of the regional tournaments across
the nation last year Boardnun's Bruce Nichols anil Frank Bates are. at
this very minute, fishing in Mariner s National Finals in Minnesota inten
ding to hnng home the top prize of S40.(MH) and the additional basis for
claim: If Boardman hosts the best Walleye fishermen, wouldn’t u also be
true that Boardnun offers the best Walleye fishing?
To counter this attack, and to enhance its claim. Irrigon sends out lots
of citizens to fish every day and commissions those who don't fish to tell
lots of fish stories Most observers arc ready to concede the title of Fish
Story Capital of the World to Irrigon right now
We intend to cover this continuing story, some of it from the front lines
There must be a new angle seen only with rixl and reel in hand, and there
must be a new story or two hanging around Brown's Truck Stop.
Wc even intend to investigate the talcs we hear in Heppner about the
fish in the Willow Creek impoundment Maybe there is a new battle shap
ing up tor the Fish Story Capital
On another issue I'm sponsoring a contest of my own and you are in
vited to participate In fact, all I intend to do is count your votes and an-
nouncc the result I he contest the Boondoggle of all Time. Your votes,
pro and con will determine the winner Just send your comments (why
some project should or should not be considered) to my attention at Box
42H, Boardnun, 97X18. and I'll announce the winner in due course
