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.

‘H erbs’ Garden club topic
Growing, harvesting, storing
and using fresh herbs in cooking
was the program topic at the
January 6 meeting of the Hepp
ner Garden club held at the St.
Patrick’s Senior Center. 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.
