Jesica Deel and Sara Greenup work on hiking trail.
A new section of hiking trail
has recently been completed
around the south shore of the
Willow Creek lake by an Oregon
Youth Conservation Corps crew
of local youths, Leonard Brittner.
Jesica Deel, Sara Greenup,
Jessica Sumner and Char Coe.
Funding for crew leader, Vem
Keithley, was provided by
Willow Creek Park District.
The Morrow Soil and Water
Conservation District received
the OYCC grant through the
Morrow County Children and
Youth Services Commission.
Beginning at the handicapped
fishing area, the OYCC crew
cleared the weeds from the area
and picked up driftwood from the
banks. After the area was cleared
and the trail bed was excavated,
the crew hauled gravel provided
by the Corps of Engineers.
This cooperative effort between
the Morrow SWCD, MCCYS,
city of Heppner and Willow
Creek Park District adds over one
half mile to the hiking trail net
work already in place.
Trail locations in Heppner
begin at the west end of the
Willow Creek Dam overlooking
Heppner down along Willow
Creek at Hager Park and continue
behind the Morrow County
Museum and Oregon Trail
Library and Heppner City Park.
The crew also repaired major
damage to the existing trails caus
ed by high water this spring and
also damage by littering and
vandalism.
Jerry A nderson, SWCD
manager, stated "The District ap
preciates the cooperation between
landowners, Corps of Engineers,
city of Heppner, Willow Creek
Park District, OYCC, and others,
that enable youth from the com
munity to have summer employ
ment and at the same time
enhance and improve the Willow
Creek Greenway." Anderson
also encourages walkers to use
the trails and keep them clean.

Oregon kids learn about beef
Oregon kids are learning the
basics about beef, thanks to a
recently revised booklet that in
cludes challenging puzzles and
graphics designed to make learn
ing fun, said an Oregon Beef
Council press release.
Funded with beef checkoff
dollars invested by cattle pro
ducers in Morrow County and
throughout the nation, ‘‘Basics
About B eef’ is a teaching tool for
use with high school and middle
school home economics and
nutrition education students. First
produced approximately 15 years
ago, the recently revised edition
o f ‘‘Basics About Beef”
demonstrates how beef fits into a
healthy diet and also reflects the
newest recommended daily
allowances for Americans.
To date, more than 21,000
copies of the newly revised
booklet have been distributed to
teachers and other professionals
throughout the United States.
‘‘Basics About Beef contains im
portant nutrition information and
explores all aspects of buying,
storing, preparing and serving
beef,” says Mick Scott, executive
director of the Oregon Beef
Council.
‘‘Students learn how to make
the best beef buy and how to
prepare beef to enhance

ed ."
‘‘Our booklet is designed to
help the younger generation en
joy beef as a source of nutrients
needed by the body and as a
great-tasting food that fits into a
healty low-fat meal," adds Scott.
Kids learn that a typical three
ounce serving of cooked 80 per
cent lean ground beef has only
228 calories and contains 21
grams of protein, .18 milligrams
of riboflavin, 4.4 milligrams of
niacin, two micrograms of
vitamin B12, 1.8 milligrams of
iron and 4.6 milligrams of zinc.
The booklet also teaches that beef
is much leaner than it was 25
years ago.
Explains Scott, "Basics About
B eef’ enourages young shoppers
to consider wholesomeness,
quality, appearance and cost-per-
serving when buying beef and
also provides basic kitchen skills
that fewer children seem to be
picking up at home.” In some
schools, “ Basics About B eef’ is
used in conjunction with the video
kit, ‘‘Cooking Today’s Beef,”
another beef checkoff funded
education program. "A s our
children grow up, it will become
increasingly important for them
to understand the relationship bet
ween cookery method, cooking
time, grade and tenderness,” says
Scott.
Cattle producers in Morrow
County and throughout the nation
invest through the beef checkoff
to fund production of numerous
teaching tools, such as "Basics
About B eef’. “ When it comes to
the nutritional benefit, taste and
value of beef, cattle producers
have a great message to share
with people of all ages,” con
cludes Scott.

beef checkoff program and

Boardman residents ask for
increase in services from BMCC
Requests for Blue Mountain
Community College services and
programs are on the rise, accor
ding to a report presented to the
BMCC Board of Directors at the
ed services in their area. Presi
dent Daniels explained that
historically classes in north Mor
row County have been schedul
ed through the Hermiston Center,
but Boardman area residents
don’t feel that Morrow County is
considered a priority.
The board authorized the ad
ministration to conduct a survey
in the Boardman/Irrigon area to
determine needs and interests of
the residents. The survey will be
followed by a meeting with com
munity members and Chuck
Starr, the Morrow County School
Superintendent.
In the meantime, the board will
review information regarding the
options available on the Milton-
Freewater bank building and the
requests for more services in the
Boardman area. A special board
meeting will be held at 5 p.m.
Thursday, Sept. 2, to discuss the
direction the board plans to take
in each area.
Pat Loughary, dean of college
and student services, predicts that
fall term enrollment to be stable
and possibly growing. He noted
that the total number of registra
tion appointments is up 38 over
last year, however, the shortage
of housing may cost the college
a few students.
