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..

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.

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. It seems to be working-
