TWO - Heppner Gazette- Tim«., Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, November 21, 1990 Boardman man given jail on Elk hunters successful drug charges A Boardman man was given jail time, November 19 on drug related chargesi n Morrow County Circuit Court, according to District At torney Jeff Wallace. Frank Morgan, 30, had been con victed on drug possession and con spiracy charges by a Morrow Coun ty jury following a two-day trial in October. Circuit Judge Robert Abrams ordered Morgan to serve four months in jail, pay a $1,000 Fine, make restitution to the state of Oregon for court-appointed at torney's fees and placed him on four years’ formal probation. As part of his probation, Morgan was ordered to undergo evaluation for drugs and alcohol and submit to directed treat ment, undergo random drug testing, subject his person, place and residence to a search for controlled substances, and forbidden from possessing any drug paraphernalia. This is the maximum amount for jail time which can be imposed under state sentencing guidelines, said Wallace. Morgan was arrested in July, 1989, following an execution of search warrants at two Board man- area residences by the Morrow County Drug Task Force. Authorities found a large quantity of marijuana, methamphetamine, cash, weapons and drug paraphernalia at the residences. Also arrested along with Morgan were Ladd Kanyid. Mike Nelson and Nikki Baher, all of Boardman. Kanyid is presently incarcerated at EOCI following his plea to drug- related charges. Nelson and Baher had earlier plead guilty to possession of a controlled substance and were placed on probation. Off the Wall ____By M erlyn Robinson It was a memorable event for our family, a very special and happy occa sion. For it marked the start of a new chapter in the life of this family’s New Year’s eve addition, bom over 34 years ago. The tears of happiness were hard to conceal as 375 friends and relatives watched our number two son escort his lovely bride from the altar. Now our roles as parents of a bride or groom are hopefully past-tense before either of us needs a cane to hobble down the aisle. Everything went off without a glitch, including the performance of a tiny, some what-reluctant flower girl. Dwarfed by six foot-tall groomsmen, the diminutive ring bearer grew in stature as he patiently stood very straight and tall throughout the ceremony. The transformation of people in everyday outfits to more formal attire accentuated a deeper beauty of lasting friendships and the sharing of love. While cowboy pickups filled the parking lot, seven macho men took on suave appearances—for real, proverbial uncut diamonds. This handsome assembly was complimented by radiant bridesmaids in glimmering taffeta dresses that mirrored the colors of a huge stained-glass w indow behind the altar. True to character, most of these male attendants’ black shoes were later replaced by more comfortable cowboy boots for the reception. And familiar cowboy hats became tux toppers that restored identities and were in keep ing with a country and western band that tested the sound barrier. But on the eve of the big event, the wedding rehearsal saw a motley crew of blue jean figures shuffle feet while looking for guidance. And the bride’s brother was berated for not exchanging his everyday jeans that reflected that day’s outside chores. However a knowing pastor with tremendous insight into other people’s lives made everyone feel at ease. And one of his quips will forever be a classic. During the rehearsal of marriage vows he asked the bride-to-be if she promised to love, honor and help vaccinate cows. The old saying about losing an offspring after marriage does not apply in our case. We're gaining a pretty and talented daughter-in-law who already knows how to avoid cowpies. And we hope she can survive this family- operated funny farm and that she will not have a permanent case of writer’s cramp from acknowledging the enormous pile of wedding gifts that will enhance their lifestyle. I rather doubt that my 20 year old washer will survive the shock of not having to separate tons of soil from our son’s ever present pile of dirty clothes. And this event is sure to diminish the quantity of groceries to be bought and lugged into the house. And I wish her luck in changing the master bedroom’s ye olde western decor, everything from rope cans to well-used boots, spurs and horse blankets. But of more importance is the addition of another family member to share the good and the bad times ahead. Presently the silence at home is deafen ing, but definitely an asset that grows on a person as the years pass. And we may even have the opportunity to have use of the telephone in the even ings to come. However we are fortunate to have watched our three children grow into responsible adults who have good health and every day common-sense-at least most of the time, that is.. Photo by Merlyn Robinson Scott Bernhard, Tigard, proudly shows off his bull elk that has six points on one side and seven on the other. He and a buddy hunted in the Granite area and both filled tags as they also killed a spike on the homeward trip via the scenic by-way. Stopping in Heppner to gas their vehicles, he said that they were going home with around 800 pounds of meat. While there is alot of pressure from hunters, he said most of them don’t hike into the wilderness areas. He said they carried this big bull on foot for two miles. “ W e’ve always hunted in that area and will again next year if we are lucky enough to get tags, as it will probably be limited to permit entry,” Bernhard said. lone Garden Club hears presentation on birds Birdine Tullis was hostess to the lone Garden Club on Nov. 14 with Pat Pettyjohn as her assistant.

R & W reading program begins again The annual reading incentive pro gram, jointly sponsored by Helen and Tom Riehl of the R & W Drive- In and Heppner Elementary School, is again underway. This program provides encouragement for students to do extra reading in hopes that reading will become a habit and a source of pleasure. The Riehls provide treats at the R & W Drive In that reward students for reaching goals established by their reading teachers. Teachers establish goals based on age and reading ability, supervise the repor ting and record keeping, and notify Linda Shaw, program coordinator, of students who have earned cer tificates. Parents are asked to be in volved in overall interest in their child's efforts to meet the goal. This will be the fifth year for this program of encouragement for young readers which Tom and Helen Riehl suggested as a way to build more able, confident, enthusiastic readers.
