Contestants may cook their Dioramas give kids hands-on learning The Heppner Middle School sixth grade class learned about Canada in a way that proved to be a little more interesting than the usual dry textbook.

When the kids were done, the dioramas were judged and win ners were awarded prizes. Following are diorama win ners: first-Kimberly Hansen and Laurie Michael; second-Michael Schonbachler and Brandon Blodgett; third-Casey Ingraham; fourth-Josh Hill and Clint Bellamy; fifth-Kimberly Marvin; sixth-Aleea Strouse; seventh- Trisha Adams and Ashley Ropp; eighth-Kim Pointer and Stephanie Clough; ninth-Ben Goodyear and Matthew Jepsen; 1 Oth-Justin Nelson; honorable mention-Macy Rhea, Allison Sykes, Tom Skultety, Corey Miller, Stanley Cutsforth, Matthew VanLiew, John Looney, Cody Bellamy and Jake C im m iyotti.

On-site cooking begins at 8 a.m with judging at 10 a.m. Samples of barbecued lamb will be available for tasting, beginning at 10 a.m. “ The Cook-Off is an opportuni ty to discover the taste and ver satility of fresh American lamb,” said Krebs. The Lamb Cook-Off is jointly sponsored by the Oregon Sheep Growers Association, the Oregon Sheep Commission and the Hepp ner St. Patrick's Day Committee. Morrow County and Umatilla County share a common boundary which divides the Umatilla Army Depot. Two-thirds of the Depot lies within Morrow County and one- B y Earl W oods, Jr. third lies within Umatilla County. The gtxxl news for Morrow County is that the primary water source for the depot lies within Morrow County. The bad news is that a coali tion of folks representing Umatilla County want that water tor a truck stop and other uses. The Benkendorf Association Corpora tion plan (known as the "Depot Comprehensive Plan; ) tails to specifically locate the water source except generally as within the Depot” . The questions is “ who will get control of the water? 1 m betting that Umatilla County will get the water unless we're willing to fight. Contact our commissioners and Judge Carlson il you think Morrow County should get that water. This brings me to a related topic. I call it the Slow Death syn drome. Have you noticed that Heppner used to support a couple of car dealerships—and now has none? Have you noticed that Board- man seems to have a thriving residential/industurial base but vir tually no shops or commercial area? Have you noticed that Mor row County doesn’t have a major retail chain outlet anymore? What happened to Sears. J.C. Penny and Safeway ? What happened is that decent roads, i.e., improvements to 1-84, the Bombing Range Road and Highway 207 now make it easier for people to leave the county to do their shopping. Hermiston, Tri-Cities and Pendleton have pro spered, while Heppner. lone, Lexington. Boardman, Irrigon are feel ing “ the Slow Death” . It seems that big towns often suck the life out of their smaller neighbors. I don’t know how we can reverse this trend but one step might be a “ buy local policy. There has been some ’grumbling’ recently by court personnel. There have been complaints to county court and the sheriff s office that there are too few citations being issued in the south end. The real cause of the discontent is the retirement of our local OSP of fice Carl Martin. With no replacement being named the state police have twice opened the Heppner position for applications, with no result. Because nobody has applied for the position, an OSP officer operating out of Hermiston will begin patrolling the south end in February. His name is Allen "Butch” Muhs. OSP has given him the green light to move to Heppner if he wants to. I^et’s work on him. For your general information, the Oregon State Police in Mor row County work traffic enforcement and by agreement with the Morrow County Sheriff s office work virtually no investigations. The sheriffs office works investigations. They do an excellent job and have as a secondary mission traffic enforcement on primary county roads. The Sheriffs office handles all prisoner transport for all agencies in the county and serves as dispatcher and coordinates law enforcement and emergency services with in the county. For a small county we have an excellent law enforcement team. There is a real ‘brouhaha’ developing over the soon-to-be aban doned railroad right of way between the Columbia river and Hepp ner. Judge Carlson reports that BLM and the Oregon Department of Transportation have initiated a claim. I'll have more for you next week on this. In the meantime, if you have an interest contact Judge Carlson. _____________ _ _ _ A round th o C o u n ty W eather Report by City ot Heppner January 18 - 24, 1994 High Low Prêt 68 34 .0 Tues.
