t Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, September 5, 1999 - FIVE W SU gettin g resu lts in fig h tin g ch ea t, goatgrass Downy brome (cheatgrass) and jointed goatgrass are the most serious weeds of dryland wheat in Morrow County. Since they are both winter annual grasses, as is wheat, they are very hard to control in the crop. Washington State University is do ing some good applied research on this subject, and is getting results. Their research has shown that cer tain bacteria exert a subtle effect on plants and may greatly impact plant growth. They have isolated bacteria that specifically inhibit downy brome of jointed goatgrass, but do not af fect the crop. Dr. Ann Kennedy, microbiologist at WSU, has screened over 3000 isolates and has found ¡00 that sup press downy brome but not wheat. She has found only a few that sup press jointed goatgrass and not wheat, because wheat and goatgrass are very similar genetically. The bacteria are all naturally oc- curing organisms, and all can nor mally be found in the soil in wheat fields. The key to control of the weeds is in applying more of the kind that suppress the weed, and thus creating a temporary imbalance of the biota in the soil. It is important to note that no genetic engineering is being done in order to create these organisms. This means that if an excellent downy brome control is discovered, there will be a minimum of regulations to should make estate plans CAPECO Announces two grant Awards Parents O.S.U. Extension family economics Although most parents live to see Reggie Brown, chairman of the CAPECO Board of Directors, recently announced that the Com munity Action Program of East Cen tral Oregon (CAPECO) had been awarded two new discretionary grants for their work in energy con servation and recycling. The Oregon Department of Energy selected CAPECO as the recipient of a special $30,000 grant to demonstrate new weatherization techniques on area mobile homes. Doug Jerome, CAPECO weatherization manager, will oversee this special project and will train low-income weatherization employees on new cost effective techniques of weatherizing mobile homes. It is expected that approx imately 25 additional low-income mobile home owners will receive weatherization services as a result of this new grant. The Oregon Employment Divi- sion/Youth Conservation Corps an nounced that CAPECO was one of seven special youth employment projects funded statewide from the new “ Community Service Corps” established by the 1989 legislature. This $30,000 grant, awarded to CAPECO, will help establish a recycling program for high quality bond paper and waste computer paper from area businesses and satisfy in order to gain approval for its use. The bacteria is relatively easy to reproduce in quantity, which should make it inexpensive to use. The bacteria are sprayed on the soil surface in the fall, usually after crop emergence. Commercial uses may dictate that the spray be mixed with a commercial herbicide. Some screening has been done with a few herbicides, and survival of the organism depended on the toxicity of the herbicide. So far, success in weed control in the field has been mixed. In 1987-88, winter wheat yields were increased up to 35 percent and downy brome was controlled up to 51 percent using weed-inhibitory bacteria. In 1988-89, however, bacteria were not as effective in con trolling the weed. At Pullman, for example, in no-till wheat, the bacteria did not improve herbicidal control of downy brome. Dr. Kennedy still has over 9000 isolates to screen. She has many questions that still need answering, such as which conditions are most favorable to weed control and which herbicides are toxic to the organism. Research such as this is so impor tant in today’s environmental clim ate. Replacing pesticide, however safe that chemical is, with a naturally occuring control is ex cellent public relations; is en vironmentally sound; and makes economic sense. organizations. The project will be in itiated in October and will utilize area youth and developmental^ disabled individuals to operate the program. CAPECO expects to enter into partnerships with many organizations to participate in this program and ensure that the program is successful in meeting the needs of the young people, developmental^ disabled persons and the community. Stan Foster, CAPECO director noted that both of these grants were awarded to the agency based on past performance and through com petitive reviews. “ I’m delighted that CAPECO has gained such a strong professional reputation in the state in a very short time. It is always ex citing to compete against large metropolitan agencies and be able to successfully bring these new resources to our communities.” CAPECO serves Umatilla, Morrow, Gilliam and Wheeler counties and operates many program to assist low-income families, elderly citizens and individuals in need. ’ Rally Day will be celebrated both at Valby and Hope Lutheran Chur ches on Sunday, September 9. Ral ly Day celebrates the beginning of Fall Sunday School Classes. Songs will be sung, teachers introduced, resources for the new year will be shared. Valby’s celebration will begin at 8:15 a m. in the church sanctuary. The teachers are Molly Rill and Patricia Peck with elementary students, Joel Peterson with junior and senior high youth, and Pastor Hoobing with the adults. At the 9 a m. Worship service, the teaching staff will be officially installed. Hope’s celebration will begin at 9:45 a.m. within the church sanc tuary followed by an “ Ice Cream Sundae" before church service. The teachers who will be officially in stalled at the 11 a.rri. service are Aleida G oodyear and Laurel W ebber-G ray, preschool and kindergarten; Carla Morter, first and second grades; Corrine Miles, third grade; Delia Robinson, fourth grade; and Mycal Osmin, fifth and sixth grades. Steve Brownfield and Kent Goodyear will be adult sponsors for junior-senior high youth group. Services and activities at Hope Valby are open to the public. A warm welcome is extended to all visitors. for Cycle Oregon III bicyclists has been very interesting, says Judie Laughlin, coordinator. “ People started calling back in May for beds, long before things on this end were formulated. We have placed 108 people in homes and RV’s as of August 27 and have two more to place. We do have a few backup beds, so it won’t be a problem.” “ People have been great offering their homes” , continued Judie, “ especially towards the end. We’ve had phone calls from as far away as Columbus, Ohio, New Orleans and New Jersey.” “ One couple even discovered the cyclist staying with them had gone to high school with the lady of the house. We’ve placed a Jones with a Jones and a Joyce with a Joyce and have discovered this group is from all ages and out to have a good time!” Looking for a good used car or pickup?

Chlorination of the reservoirs has been done as required. Coliform bacteria are not harmful, but are used as an indicator of overall water quality. No health risk is indicated in this case, and the bacteria could be present due to a number of causes, including dirt in the reservoir, lack of flushing of dead end mains, or sampling error. No action by water customers was warranted but federal and state regulations require that the city pro vide this notice.

The most difficult part of the estate plan ning process is making complex family decisions related to lifestyle, values, goals and relationships.” Other questions to be answered in clude how to provide income for the children, how property will be distributed, and how financial resources will be managed. In addi tion, parents should decide who to nominate as guardian for the children. Estate planning attorneys can help parents understand the advantages and disadvantages of various estate planning tools and techniques and prepare necessary legal documents, Morrow adds.
