Letters to the Editor
Impressed with Hands on Science
children were enthusiastic about at
tending and sharing what they learn
ed. I was most impressed with their
problem solving skills.
(s) Lea Calvert
Second Grade
Heppner Elementary School
To the Editor:
I would encourage parents of
children in the Heppner school area
to enroll their children in the Hands
on Science classes.
I had several students who par
ticipated this school year. The
Aquatic fitness class postponed
Instructor Joyce Hughes says that the
only reason we would have to cancel
a class now would be if it were
thundering and lightning and the
cancelled class would be reschedul
ed. There is still room for
enrollment.
An aquatic fitness class that was
scheduled to begin this past week has
been postponed until Monday, July
9, due to unforseen weather. Classes
will run on Mondays and Thursdays
for the next four weeks from 6-7
p.m. at the Heppner swimming pool.

the potatoes that were baked in the
microwave with the ones that were
baked in the oven and ate them with
different toppings like broccoli,
melted cheese, sour cream and taco
meat. Dishes were washed and
everyone went home.
At the next meeting members
made chili, apple crisp and corn
bread and set the table and ate.
Records were not done because
members forgot to bring them.

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.
