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

CAPECO Announces two grant Awards Parents

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!”

The Gky of Heppner reports that
a water sample taken during the
month of August 1990, exceeded
federal drinking water standards for
coliform bacteria. 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.

specialist, the new publication uses
a “ case study” approach to the sub
ject Morrow describes estate plan
ning issues for a first marriage, a
family with a handicapped child and
a family where there are children
from prior marriages.
“ Each family is different,” Mor
row points out, “ so each has a dif
ferent estate planning situation. 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.
