TWO - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, January 22, 1992 Agency wants to take on Kelly Rafferty Hoop Shoot winners ECO AC responsibilities returns home Former Morrow County com missioner Irv Rauch told the Heppner City Council Jan. 13 that the Greater Eastern Oregon Development Corporation has ex pressed a desire to take on the economic development arm of the Eastern Central Oregon Associa tion of Counties (ECOAC). If they do so, GEODC has indicated that they may site their head quarters in Heppner employing a fulltim e and a h alf time employee, according to Rauch. Rauch said because Heppner is “ centrally located among the counties" of Wheeler, Grant, Gilliam, Umatilla and Morrow, it is “ ideally located" for the groups headquarters. The ECOAC board has since voted Jan. 16, to dissolve its assets. All services provided by ECOAC will be transferred to other agencies by the end of March. The Community Action Program of East Central Oregon (CAPECO) is considering assum ing control of the Job Training Partnership Act program for Morrow and Umatilla counties. The cities of Heppner. Her- m iston, Pendleton, M ilton- Freewater and the ports of Mor row and Umatilla have endorsed GEODC, but the Umatilla Coun ty Commission said they didn’t have enough information about GEODC's plans to make such a committment and are interested in considering the Resource Conser vation and Development Area, based in Pendleton, as an alter native to GEODC. The GEODC board is current ly made up of representatives of the eight counties it serves, the five counties served now by ECOAC, in addition to Baker, Union and Wallowa, but needs additional representation to satisfy Economic Development Administration requirements. To satisfy the EDA re quirements, the GEODC ad visory committee would consist of 15 members, five county elected officials, one from each county appointed by that county’s commission or court; five city elected officials, one from each county elected by the incor porated cities in that county; one minority representative, ap pointed by GEODC board members from the five counties served; one tribal representative; one business, industry, finance or utilities representative, appointed by the GEODC board members from the five counties served; one education representative, ap pointed by GEODC board members from the five counties served; and one agriculture representative or representative from the professions, appointed by the GEODC board members from the five counties served.

Easy herbs to grow include basil, parsley, tarragon, oregano, chives, dill and mints. Although they require no special soil type, they do need good drainage, five to 10 percent humus and 10 to 12 inch soil depth. Seedlings can be grown in doors in planting soil medium in flats and transplanted into the garden. During growing season they require watering about twice a week. A drip system is the best method. Herbs are comparative ly disease and insect free. Herbs should be harvested by clipping stem ends, not allowing flower heads to form. This results in bushier plants with more leaves to cut. Compared to dried herbs, fresh ones require from two to four times the amount for recipes and are much more flavorful. To insure a continuous supply of Extension agent offers gardening tips If cold weather makes leaves on your rhododendron shrubs curl and droop, don’t worry, says Ray McNeilan, Oregon State University (OSU) Extension home gardening agent. “ This is a normal reaction to cold weather for many rhododendron varieties. “ The leaves will return to nor mal once the weather warms up,” he said. H ow ever, extrem e cold temperatures may damage some landscape plants. Prune back broken limbs to get rid of stubs that could otherwise be a source of infection and insect problems When pruning, cut back broken limbs so they are flush with the next main branch or trunk. Plants are also killed by freez ing and cracking of the bark and cambium cells around the base of the trunk and limbs. “ Azaleas and the smaller types of rhododendrons are the most common v ic tim s,” said McNeilan. Protect them by mounding barkdust or sawdust around the base of the trunk and limbs. If the bark is split on one side only, cut away the loose bark un til green, healthy tissue is reach ed. Then apply a wound dressing to prevent rot. If the bark is split all the way around the base of the plant, chances are it may not survive.

In c. fresh herbs, they may be chopped and frozen in water in ice cube trays or beaten into softened but ter and dropped by spoonful on cookie trays. When frozen, transfer these to sealable plastic bags and store in freezer. Herbs may also be preserved by pour ing a cup of vinegar (bring to a boil) over bruised herb leaves and a clove of garlic. After one week or when the flavor is just right, pour through a coffee fillet and store. Herb sauces and dressings can make gourmet dishes out of sim ple everyday foods. For steamed carrots add two tablespoons in the water. For salad dressing com bine in a blender hi cup vegetable oil, olive oil and vinegar, a clove of garlic and two or three tables poons herbs. Refrigerate. For a creamy dressing mix with whisk or fork Vi cup yogurt, ‘4 cup olive oil and lemon juice, freshly ground pepper, dash of cayenne and two tablespoons of fresh dill. Use this cream sauce over an omelette, fish vegetables or a grilled cheese sandwich. In a pan heat one tbsp butter to foam; add one tbsp flour and blend; add one cup milk and cook to thicken. Add one to two tbsp chopped tar ragon or other herb, fresh ground pepper and a pinch of chopped chili pepper. A basic pesto to use on pasta, chicken or brocolli, zucchini and experiment makes a paste in blender or processor: one cup fresh basil, *4 cup olive oil. two clover garlic, one tbsp pine nuts or almonds, five tbsp parmesan cheese and two tbsp of melted butter.
