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.

Program on Army Depot to air Nov. 17
“ The Danger of Innocence’’,
a special one hour radio
documentary will air on OPB
Radio Wednesday, Nov. 17 dur
ing the noon report.
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.
