M om o f the w orld's surface is covered with water H 2 0 is one o f the more common elements on earth But most o f that water is sloshing about in Mother Nature's sewer, con laminated (from m an'» point o f view ) with salt The cycle o f ram, runoff, rivers flowing to the ocean From there purr water evaporates and starts the cycle all over again Since evaporation is such a slow pro cca ». scry little o f the water supply seems to he in the ' pure'' state, somewhere between a cloud and a nser mouth And o f course, as the migra tain hack to the sea proceeds, water becomes even more contaminated Seems like a pretty inctti.. icnt sv clem Compared to the w if supply man's waste disposal systems seem to he in pretty good shape no matter what the wild-eyed liberals say Given the water supply provided by nature, no wonder then that the Port o f M orrow is in a scramble over water Water (together with land) has long been one o f the features that the Port has touted in luring new industry to M orrow County T w o o f the Pori's major industries use huge quantities o f water and its availablity was the major attraction Now . the Port is sold i*ut o f water Their own supplies are entirely com milted They buy emergency supplies nearly every week from the «.its o f Boardman just to meet present requirements There simply is no water at the Port for any new industry The Port's water supply is mostly from deep water wells That water is " s o f t " with only 20 parts per million o f mineral content It works well in the boilers and other water heating equipment used by food processors T o expand the supply, it would be simple to just drill another well or two And the Port is in the process o f doing just that A drill rig should be set in just a few weeks But permits arc getting harder and harder to get Some Port officials think the permit for this new well may be the very last they will ever get W ell permits arc issued by a state agency, empowered by the state legislature, encouraged by a group o f environmentalists, and the trend will be to stop further use o f underground water supplies In some areas the goal is to stop present use o f underground water supplies The idea, you sec, is that any change, alteration, modification to the natural scheme o f things is bad and must be stopped That's a sc ary idea, if you think about it Nearly everything man does changes the natural scene Man plows up the sagebrush and plants wheat, cuts down the trees to make homes, mines coal and iron and all manner o f mineral wealth to make cars and boats and airplanes He drills for oil to make gasoline and natural gas and plastics and millions o f things we use every day I don't know what happens to those perfectly reasonable folks we send o ff to the legislature-only to become puppets o f the wild eyed preserva tionists But I do think one o f the things is that we stop talking to them about what's really important W e don't tell them, so they can understand that trees grow hack again, that water in the ground is not nearly so valuable as when it flows in a pipe W hat's more, we don't tell them that we don't want this world to pass on into eternity just like it is W e think we can make it a better place to live on than it is W e want to do that for our children and grandchildren and wc need the tools to do it with W e should all talk to a politician today Births Lindsey Danielle Lunkford-a daughter Lindsey Danielle, was bom to Craig and Trina l-ankford o f Boardman on Feb lb. 1940 at Good Shepherd Hospital in Hermiston The baby weighed 5 lbs 15 oz Seth M ichael Nielsen-a son Seth Michael was born to Dana C Mason o f Boardman on Feb 17, 1490 at Good Shepherd Hospital in Her miston The baby w eighed b lbs 13 ozs I ann a Jo T ovey-a daughter, Tamra Jo was bom to Terrel and M clodce Tovey o f Irrigon on Feb 18. 19*8) at Good Shepherd Hospital in Hermiston The baby weighed 9 lbs 12 ozs T h e A d v e n tu re s o f (> ra z e ld u & C le m (A fte r Hours) 5:(X) a . i n . - 11 ;(X) p . m .
