Extension sponsors Portland excursion By Delpha Jones Morrow County Extension sponsored a bus trip to Portland on Friday, Oct. 29, where a most interesting and enjoyable day was had by all. The group motored down in the senior center bus with Gene Cole as driver. They left Heppner at 6:30 a.m. pick ing up passengers at Lexington. However, as they motored on to lone, they noticed that one of the main passengers. Gene Cole’s lit tle dog, had gotten out somewhere, so the bus back tracked until they found her. They picked up the other passengers at lone. At the George Griffith ranch they had a schedul ed stop for Lorene Griffith, but found that she was already in Portland, where she was strand ed with a broken-down vehicle. However, she later met the group in Portland. The group enjoyed coffee, tea and donuts at Cascade Locks and went on to “ The Cowboy Museum Then and Now” where they were introduced to low fat beef cooking which the group really enjoyed. They sampled a fine chili bean dish made from lean beef and black beans. They also enjoyed a beef tri-tip dish served w ith steamed vegetables. This cut of meat is well known in some of the other states, such as California, but is now becom ing known in Oregon. It is a boneless cut of meat from the bot tom sirloin and gets its name from the shape of the cut. It can be broiled, roasted, made into steaks and stir fried, or beef strips. If one has not tried this dish, they should do so as it is a treat. There were many fine pictures of early farming and migration , a talking cowboy and wagon with a cook. There was also a reference library. The next stop brought the group to the Albertina Kerr Nursery Home, a delightful place for dinner and style show. This was originally started as a home for babies either abandoned or unable to be cared for at home. Mothers were helped to find jobs while the children were cared for and in many cases put in foster homes. A style show of clothes furnished by the gift shop was en joyed. Proceeds of the gift shop go to the nursery. The exterior of the building has been restored and is indeed beautiful. The afternoon was spent at The Outlet shopping center where many of the ladies shopped and looked. Following this the group met at the Rhinelander’s where a fine dinner was enjoyed in a great atmosphere and with music funished by the players and vocalists. The group then head ed for home, tired, but happy after such an interesting day. The trip was sponsored by the exten sion group with Carol Michael- Bennett extension agent, in charge.

Written and produced by OPB reporter Tess Vigeland “ The Danger of Innocence’’ takes listeners inside the Umatilla Ar my Weapons Depot to explore safety and security at the 20 thou sand acre chemical weapons storage site, and emergency plan ning for neighboring communities. In the opening segment, the au dience will join in an audio tour of a giant military base. It’s estimated that the Umatilla Depot houses about five thousand tons of deadly nerve and mustard gases, 12 percent of the nation’s stockpile. Vigeland takes listeners through medical and body sear ches, both required before civilians set foot inside a formerly top-secret section of the base call ed K-Block. Following the tour, listeners will hear from local citizen ac tivists who have launched a cam paign of organized opposition to a planned hazardous waste in cinerator at the depot. In the second half of “ The Danger of Innocence’’ OPB in vestigates what opponents describe as a lack of emergency planning in the event of an acci dent at the Depot. “ The U.S. military is currently tunneling millions of dollars into a national chemical emergency program set up by Congress, but local plan ners say the money isn’t getting to the people who need it most, those living near the storage sites,” said an OPB Radio news release.
