Work underway at golf course
Work on the new underground irrigation system at the Willow Creek Country Club got under
way recently. Treated effluent from the city’s sewer system will be spread on the golf course
once the system is operating.
New funding system to boost fair income
The state legislature has done
away with the county fairs’ merit
rating system that in previous
years was used to allocate racing
revenues for base support. It has
also abolished the Oregon Fair
Commission which in addition to
establishing goals and guidelines
also evaluated and scored each
county fair.
The good news is that approx
imately $2.5 million from lottery
funds will be divided equally bet
ween all counties and the
Pendleton Downtown Main Street
Cowboys association, which was
grandfathered into the list of at
tractions. Each entity should
receive about $70,000 annually
with payments scheduled to be
paid quarterly.
This means quite a boost in
state funding for the Morrow
County Fair, said chairman Tim
Coe, who. along with other fair
board members, recently attend
ed the Oregon Fairs convention
in Eugene.
While the 1993 Morrow Coun
ty Fair scored 970 points, the
highest score ever received, an
ticipated funding for that gold
rating under the present system
would be only about $18,000 or
less. Racing revenues have con
tinued to decline, leaving less
money for apportionment during
recent years.
The 1993 chairman of the
Oregon Fairs Commission, Larry
Bell. Philomath, said that doing
away with the merit rating system
“ could have a negative impact"
because the system gave an incen
tive for the improvement of fairs
and the facilities. Bell added that
an effort is being made to
reinstate the fair commission as
he believes that the system is a
valuable tool in helping county
fair boards to achieve higher
standards.
However funding is especially
important to small rural county
fairgrounds that cannot generate
much revenue from off-season
use even though these facilities
are a vital part of the communi
ty’s infrastructure. These year-
around facilities must have fun
ding in order to cover the cost of
maintenance, improvements and
related worker expenses, Coe
said.
Coe added that the convention
was a great opportunity to gain
knowledge from workshops and
to exchange innovative ideas for
staging fairs from the delegates
that were present from different
counties.
Proper laundry
avoids flu
The winter of 1993-94 is
predicted to bring the flu virus to
many households. We have ben
encouraged to get flu shots as a
preventative measure, but did you
know that you can keep your
family healthier by the way you
do your laundry?
When a member of your fami
ly has a cold or the flu, the
viruses causing the illnesses can
get on clothing and household
textiles, according to Carol
Michael-Bennett, OSU extension
home economist in Morrow
County. So if you get rid of these
viruses, other members of your
family will be healthier.
The temperature of the laundry
water is the key. It takes from
three to five minutes in boiling
water to kill staphylococci germs,
or 20 minutes in water at 140
degrees F. The problem is that in
most homes the hot water for do
ing laundry is cooler than 140
degrees F. and few wash cycles
are 20 minutes long. Rather than
guess about the temperature of
your laundry water, use a ther
mometer to measure the water
temperatures at hot and medium
settings.
Use the hottest water possible
according to your care label, but
add a disinfectant to the load. One
disinfectant that’s effective in hot.
warm or cold water is liquid
chlorine bleach. Remember to
use the bleach dispenser on your
washer, or add bleach in the mid
dle of the wash cycle. Don’t use
chlorine bleach on fabrics made
of wool, silk, spandex or on dyed
or finished fabrics. Again, read
your care label, reminds Ardis
Koester, OSU extension textiles
and clothing specialist.
A sanitizer, such as pine oil,
disinfects in hot or warm water,
but not in ^old water. Read labels
on products to be sure they’re
disinfectants. The pine oil smell
doesn’t necessarily mean the
fabrics are disinfected. Use pine
oil containing 70 percent steam-
distilled pine oil. This should be
on the label. Always follow
directions.
To keep infections from
spreading through the family
wash, launder contaminated
clothing in a separate load.
Regularly sanitize the inner sur
faces of the washing machine
when there’s an illness in the
family. Fill the machine tub with
hot water. Pour disinfectant into
the machine without laundry and
let it complete a 15 minute cycle
at the hot water setting.
