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.
The kids, under the direction of
teacher Vicki Broden, had a
diorama contest. Each group of
children chose a different Cana
dian province, like our states, to
depict in the miniature scenes.
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;

lamb dish on-site or bring it
prepared to the judging. 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.
