To the Editor:
Hard working volunteers are the
essence of many activities in this
community But sometimes lost in
the shuffle, we fail to give thanks to
those volunteers who donate long
hours
In particular I would like to show
my appreciation for the horse show
committees whose efforts resulted m
two very successful horse shows at
our fairgrounds recently.
Getting donations, acquiring
awards and coordinating these events
lakes countless hours And without

Letters to_t|ie Editor
An open letter to Morrow Co voters
To the Editor:
You will receive a mail in ballot
soon, ns urnie folk want to recall me
from the School Hoard My response
to the allegations against me will he
printed on (he ballot Please read it
carefully.
I stood for election twice, in 1984
and 1988 I never presented myself
as anything except what I am--home
grown, a family man, interested in
kids and schools The voters elected
me twice, so I son of thought that
is whal they wanted on the Board.
I lake my duties seriously. The
Hoard elected me Chairman this
year, so I figured the other members
thought I had enough sense and in
tegrity to do that job. too
Now cooks a lady whom I have
never met She circulates a recall
petition against o k and gets it on the
ballot Consequently, you now have
to vote whether to keep me on the
Hoard
This recall election is not about
me It ii about whether Morrow
County Schools will be run by out
siders or by your locally elected
representatives
I would like to stay on the Board
If you keep me. I pledge to continue
to listen to all affected persons, and
to exercise my best judgment about
what is best for us. our kids, and our
schools
Sincerely,
(s) Bill Doherty
Lexington
P S Another Board member will
also be on the ballot If the recall
proponents can name someone big
enough or good enough to fill Mar
cia Kemp’s spot on the Board. I
would sure like to see them get out
front with that name
P P S Don’t you just love a guy
who files a silly lawsuit against
School Board members and then
writes a 920 word newspaper col
umn railing against people who file
spurious lawsuits?

grazing resources among deer, elk

2) To learn how elk and deer react
to timber management practices
3) To gain more knowledge of
how elk react to roads and vehicular

4) To test the relationship of hull
elk to herd recruitment
The Starkey project is one that we
will certainly he hearing about in the

resulting from this project It is a
very worthwhile study that will help
us find better methods to manage our

It's Fair Time!
What a week of the year County
‘it
Fair Week
A county fair, especially the way
they do it in Heppoer. is one of the
mo« cohesive forces in our society Oh
to be sure, it is a time to show off the
fatted calf, the new brood sow and
Mom's pickles For some of us the fair
is nostalgic We had chickens just like
that on the farm when I was a hoy. and
I haven't been around them at all in
thirty years or so
A tnp through the livestock barn is
a real journey into yesteryear Born on
a farm in Wallowa County. I tended
cattle, sheep, hogs, chickens, rabbits
and the faithful old saddle horse al one time or another as I grew up We've
been away from livestock since college days but it's «ill a treat to sirnfl^
through the livestock bams and regale the children, who have no such
perience themselves, about the trials and tribulations of growing up
a go-for-broke stump ranch in the high country
The crop exhibits prompt the «ones about how my grandfather brought!
the fir« steam tractor to Wallowa County and coupled to an early steel
sided thrashing machine used it to thrash wheat for most of the neighbors
around (The kids have heard it before) The garden crops remind me of*
the hiHirs and hours I used to spend on my knees weeding row after row.'|
of my Mother's garden And of the neat lines of filled fruit jars I usashg
to arrange in the cellar
The cellar was sort of my own early domains I earned the freshly canned
jars, and the jxxatnes. onions, carrots, and garlic to the cellar as the harvest
came in the fall The tomatoes went on this side, the beans on that The
peaches went on a shelf just eye ball high because they were the eas
to look at I braided onions and hung them from the ceiling and carefully
cleaned the potato bin so the new crop would keep as long as possible.ja
Then it was up to me to keep the kerosene lantern lit on cold nights dur j
mg the winter, and to fetch for mom the jars of fruit and vegetables she
needed to keep the table loaded for a family of seven
Look kids, there’s some home canned pickles just the way my MotheHl
used to make' My children are good sports about it They probably wish ’
od they were somewhere else hut they stood fast and listened to an<Hher
tale about making pickles
My grandmother would spend hours and hours with one kind of needle
or another When we found the quilts on display. I had to tell the children
that this one was quilted just like the ones that Grandmother used to dojn
over at the Indies Aid House And Grandmother would do crochet anil J
knitting too See this stitch right here, she taught me to knit one winter, j.,
I couldn't do anythig fancy like this, but ytmr old Dad can knit They were
polite but n«>t impressed
Any good fair has a parade and rodeo! Every kid, including me and fxxh
my children enjoy a parade We’ve had to watch instead of parade the
jiast couple of years, but we’re working on o f BULA and planning
something even better
The kids heard again about Ross Dollarhide and how Uncle Dave was
a pick-up man al Chief Joseph Days years ago They’d heard that before
And they’d heard about the old buckskin saddlchorsc that stepped on rny
foot and the more I yelled, the more steadfast he stood But I told ’em
again ju« as they turned out the first saddle bronc
Then there’s the food. Cotton Candy and popcorn and hotdogs washed
down with fresh lemonade There’s the barbecued lamb and the baked
jsolatoes and fresh com on the cob And more soda pop that anyone ou
I to drink in a whole year
But the most important part of a fair is not the herd sire, the pickled
l<ppers. the clowns and the roman riders The most important part i
people The old friends you meet Some of those old friends I hadn't
since last fairand though I’d vowed to look them up before next fair, I
knew I wouldn’t.
And the new people you meet The fair’s a great place to meet people
I think we’re all a little more friendly at the fair, it makes meeting new
people and talking with them a lot easier And every kind of person ahvt
can be found at the fair Bankers, merchants, farmers, loggers, tourists,
beggars, cowboys, gamblers, old women, young kids, college professors
and high school dropouts Everybody goes to the fair
And they ’re all so pleasant and happy and full of promise Thai’s the
neat thing about folks at the fair, they’re all having a good time and none
arc hell-bent on spoiling someone else’s good time
Well, as I see it. a fair is the most cohesive force in our society It bring*
together all manner of folks, who have or have done all manner of things*
J
they want to show off And some of them, like me. arc anxious to look
(I’m not sure I’m succeeding in conveying the desire to my children hut
I’m trying )
Fairgocrs arc happy folks, anxious to share a part of their lives with
each other, mostly pleasant parts, and full of hope and promise for a bright
future
I’d like a fair that goes on all year

the efforts of secretaries working
quietly behind the scenes these
events would not be possible
These two horse shows have pro
gressively improved each year as
shown by the
work of these
people And for those who find fault
with those volunteer efforts. I think
that those people should evaluate
their own contribution and the con
tnhution of those who continue to
serve.

To the Editor:
As State Senator representing over
one-third of the land mass of this
«ale. I was recently given the oppor
tunity to join the State Department
of Forestry in a tour of the much
publicized Starkey Project I would
like to share my reflections on the
lour with the people of Eastern
Oregon
In its first year of study, the pro
ject has already produced some very
valuable in form ation. It has
demonstrated that in many cases
there is not direct competition bet
ween elk and cattle for grazing In
formation has also been developed
showing that controlled cattle graz
ing in reparian areas can meet, and
even enhance, resource goals
The goals of the Starkey Ex
perimental Forest program are as
follows:
I) To attempt to develop new.
