County to enforce zoning
As the result of an ever-increasing
number of complaints concerning
violations of the Morrow County
Zoning Ordinance, which regulates
how people use their land, the Mor
row County Planning Commission
has directed the planning department
to begin an enforcement program,
according to Kent Goodyear, Mor
row County Planning Commission
chairman. The county court, in turn,
has hired an emergency data pro
cessor. This individual will devote
one-quarter of her time to code en
forcement under the direction of the
planning department.
“ Violations of land use laws are
primarily in the areas of: too many
animals, garbage (junk), storage of
inoperable vehicles, and in some
cases, too many dwelling units per
tax lot. Zoning (land use regulations)
were adopted by Morrow County
citizens to protect the value and in
tegrity of their neighborhoods from
unsightly
and
aggravating
nuisances,” said Goodyear. “ Being
a good neighbor and price of owner
ship would go a long way in
elim inating the problem . All
violators will first be made aware of
the violation and given a reasonable
time in which to comply. Failure to
comply will result in fines and court
actions,” he added.
lone class makes money in ‘Market’
After the first week in trading in
the Stock Market Game the lone
High School Personal Finance class
had total assets of $102,498. The
team consists of Erika Bergstrom,
Justin Miller, Tony Bjerke and
Shawn Wilson.
The class ranked first of 43 teams
participating in the eastern region
and sixth among 675 Oregon teams
participating at the state level.
lone High School Personal
Finance class started participating in
the stock market game on Feb 15.
The primary purpose of SMG is to
provide an interesting and
motivating device for learning about
economics, financial markets and the
stock market.
This game is sponsored by the
Securities Industry Foundation for
Economic Education and The
Oregon State University Center for
Economic Education, who hope to
get more people interested in the
stock market.
The goal is to take an initial
$100,000 and invest it in the market,
and try to make as much money as
possible during a 10-week session.
The class has been divided into
five teams with a captain who is in
charge of the group, the secretary
who records the transactions and the
the grapher who graphs the day’s
progressions of the Dow-Jones daily.
Museum curator speaks to Topic Club
Marsha Sweek, director of the
Morrow County Museum, spoke to
the members of the lone Topic Club
on Wednesday, Feb. 27. Delpha
Jones and Lorraine Ladd were
hostesses to the group at the St.
Williams social room.
Marsha informed members that
items can be loaned or given to the
museum and there are over 5,000 ar
ticles on display depicting the life
in Morrow County. When the
museum was opened in 1960, Rachel
Harnett, who was the original
curator, started files on individual
family histories, local cemeteries,
old pictures, files of newspapers
back as far as 1883, collections of
memorabilia and information on
places of historic interest. A number
of former residents have donated
special funds to help in the establish
ment of many of the displays. Aman
da Duval helped finance the original
museum and it is now under the
auspices of Morrow County.
The museum hours are 1-5 p.m.
daily except for Thursday and Fri
day or by special appointment.
