Heppner Police Report____ He D id It Again When county Judge Louis Carlson put together the blue ribbon panel to air workers’ compensation issues a few weeks ago, some folks thought it was a fluke. After all, he brought some real ly powerful folks to Boardman, to Morrow County, to talk about the very latest state-wide issues. No one ever thought he could do something like that again. But the Judge proved us wrong. He did it again. Just last week, Louis Carlson put together, and then very capably chaired a panel of some of the most influential political figures involved in water issues. True, water is one of the most important aspects of agriculture in Morrow County. Not just for agriculture, though, water is essential to in dustry and domestic use as well. My favorite history teacher reminds me that use of water for irrigation is the single most important step in the development of civilization around the world. That marked the change from nomadic tribes who hunted wild game and plants for food to farmers who built cities, developed a written language and began the whole process of what we know as civilization. All civilization, she says began with the first farmers. So the subject was appropriate. The speakers were extraordinary. Water policy is administered by a state agency called the Department of Water Resources. The very head of that department, Bill Young, was there. Water policy is written by the legislature, as developed by a water policy committee. A member of both the House committee and the Joint Interim committee. Chuck Norris was there. Water quality is controlled by the Department of Environmental Quali ty and the chairman of its advisory committee, Clint Reeder, was there. One of the major farm lobbying groups is the Oregon Wheal League and their executive director, Scott Duff, was there. What a powerful assemblage of water experts on a single platform. And what a powerful message: “ Water use as we know it has nearly disappeared.” Powerful political forces in Western Oregon are on the verge of eliminating irrigation as asuch a high standard for return Environmen talists are demanding such a high standard for return water, no practical use may be made for that purpose. We may, someday soon, have to be content to simply watch our rain water run down a stream or river bed untouched by man. Judge Carlson’s skill in organizing this panel is commendable, even though the message was scary. He not only persuade these folks to find and come to Morrow County, he skillfully directed the discussion to ad dress the concerns of the audience. For this meeting the Judge chose the driest spot in the county, the Lex ington Grange Hall. Conveniently located as centrally to Morrow County as you can get, the location encouraged a large, diverse crowd, including some folks from Umatilla County. As I see it, the next time Judge Louis Carlson calls a meeting, he has earned the right to use any meeting place in the county, including in any town he chooses. The Judge has also earned our attendance. He puts on a great show, indeed. oooooooooooooooo IT’S WOODCUniNGTliiiir The Heppner Police department reports handling the following business during the past week: June 25 f'ff:ll2 p.fri-request of ficer for Security Check. “-Ju n e 26?,K',9:08 ' p .m .-D o g Complaint.
