The price o f wheat, the 1987 crop and before, was below the cost o f pro duct ion The CRP program, designed to reduce production, had some depressing effects on M orrow County What with wheat land going out o f pro duction. demand for all the products and services required for production went down So did government tax levies. The potato industry was required to become more efficient to survive, and it did. at the cost o f production jobs, and demand for all the things wage earners spend their money on Things were bleak And our attitude ahamt the future was just as bleak About a year ago. though, we began to notice some change Whether it was the Governor's Economic Development Strategics program or whether it was just our own exhaustion with a gloom and doom outlook, we don't know But some spark from somewhere tanned into a llame that is now shedding much light on our new future Wc think much credit goes to Dorothy Krebs, former county commis sioner. who chaired M orrow County's Economic Development Strategy committee Coupled w ith Umatilla County, the strategy is to add value to present and future agricultural produce The strategy was barely in place when, in short successive order, a fruit and vegetable cold storage and packing co-op was formed, an onion dehydrator, and Norpac's vegetable freezing and packing plant were an rHHinccd Most recently, a second french fry plant in Boardman is on the drawing hoard Three new hay processors, tubers and or hale compressors arc cither in production or under construction One is really big. all aimed at new markets overseas. M y closest neighbor grows several acres o f lily bulbs and another the project is trying pumpkins There's some excitement on M ain Street, encouraged by expenditure o f paychecks generated in an expanding asparagus industry and the pro sped o f a »tale privan, a whole new industry for M orrow County The attitude adjustment has not been limited to the agricultural hav Ercd Lundin has sparked a new attitude about tourism that has a lot o f folks looking forward During a recent hot spell in Boardman. our whole family vaught escape at Penland Lake And what a marvelous place The county's road work is to he applauded W e're happy to sec the ''W estern R oute" has a new name It seems that it was required to make things happen Another ex ample o f the new attitude wc see Wc don't think any o f this has come about because o f the expenditure o f a Ic8 o f government money, though that is important We think the big gest d riving force is our own attitude We sec lots o f folks who can talk only about how bad things arc They have no plan, no hope, maybe even no desire thai they should he any better But even more importantly, many folks believe they arc powerless to make things better Wc don't believe that at all Wc think, no matter what the issue, that it is possible for just one pervin to make a difference And many times it does not take a 1(8 o f effort, just a belief that it can happen Take Ken Turner, M r W illow Creek Park, for example Ken had a dream for visitor facilities at W illo w Creek l.akc a boat launch ramp, a dock, picnic facilities, parking, overnight camper facilities H e 'll tell you it took lots o f e ffo rt, and he did have vime help But the ever expanding, excellent facilities at W illow Creek lake arc mostly the product o f Ken Turner’s dream and "can d o " attitude We re happy to sec the change o f attitude in the past year or so. It ’s not universal o f course There arc still v>mc doomsayers about But the new attitude can he infectious And this thing can snowball The fru it it w ill hear w ill he sweet indeed Imagine a county that can provide a comfortable living for all its residents, in a new place as peaceful and serene as Penland lutke. and a new job for each o f our vans and daughters as they need them a across Births Aaron M ichael Vllstott-a van Aaron, was horn June 26. 1989 to David and Patti AllsiiHt of Heppner at St A n th o n y H o s p ita l in Pendleton The baby weighed 7 lbs. 11 ozs Grandparents arc Clyde and Jackie A llsioti and M ike and Eileen Saling all o f Heppner Great grandparents are D olly Allstott, Pendleton and Christine Schmidt.
