The camp fee is $130 for one week of camping. “ This is a < * ■ *«*'.! t la u rm n it aw rvarianoa great learning experience for the children,” said leader Merry Brannon.“ Your donations will be greatly appreciated. Anyone interested in donating is asked to call Merry Brannon, 676-5263, before 8 p.m. ¿3' ^ Heppner and lone schools have released its third quarter honor students. To be included on the ‘A’ honor roll a student must have a grade point average of 3.5 or better. To be listed on the “ B” , Honorable Mention, a stu dent must have a GPA of 3. to 3.49. Following is a list: My Two Cents Worth By Louis Carlson, Morrow County Judge_________ Heppner High School Seniors: Gretchen Berretta, Erin Fishbum, Candis Marshall, Any cow man worth his salt can spot a sick critter from a quarter of a mile. Seems like there is something different about the way they stand, lay or where they are located in relationship to the rest of the herd. That’s the way it was coming to work this morning. I saw the silhouette of a saw mill at the outskirts of Heppner that looked remarkably different. There was a foreboding quiet starkness, the lack of energy and no sign of a healthly living, breathing body. It seemed to me that a once living and breathing body had about gasped its last breath. Let’s hope that the great physician will arrive at the scene soon enough to revive this great institution that has served this community so well for generations. Caught Rollie Marshall on the street this morning about the pro gress of the charter committee. Of course you know that Rollie is chairman of the committee. He felt that their work was rapidly com ing to the point where they were about ready for public hearings on the matter. Seems to me that all of you will be wanting to attend these public meetings to hear for yourselves the changes that they will be recommending, if any. This is one of the most important deci sions that you will be making in terms of what kind of county govern ment you will be living with for the future. Keep your eye on the paper for notice of public hearings on this matter. When talking about charter government, the subject of an adequate tax base for what ever kind of government always seems to rise to the top of the discussion, just like cream on a bucket of milk. The point is, without^ reliable source of funding, such as a current tax base from which to operate, no type of county government can operate effectively. You will be voting on an updated tax base on May 17 in the primary election. Keep an eye out for a brilliantly colored mailer within the next two weeks which will give additional information. Work is progressing nicely on West Wilson Road in Boardman. Reconstruction from Paul Smith Road west to the golf course is in progress. Contracts have been let, and in most cases completed for irrigation concrete work and earthen irrigation ditches. Fencing con tracts have also been let for both north and south sides of the road. Umatilla Electric has relocated their power line to accommodate the re-alignment of the road. In July, the county will proveed to con struct a new road bed, widen, install culverts, driveway approaches and pave. In the meantime, local irrigation farmers have had to en dure some inconvenience of delayed irrigation to their fields because of “ blow outs” in newly constructed irrigation ditches. We are work ing with the contractor to get this fixed as quickly as possible. Sorry about that. Seems like the best laid plans go astray. The Morrow County appraisers are about to wind up their appraisal of the Boardman community. Obviously, none of us relish seeing the appraisers come to our property to reassess our property values. We automatically assume that our values will go up. But on the other hand, we want to make sure that there is some kind of equality built into the taxing systefn that we have. The best equality that I can im agine is that everydHc'is current on their property values and that everyone is paying their fair share based on reliable information for the assessment of their property.

Paula Spicer-Kuhn, Heppner, was the Camp Fire Candy top seller for the local group for the second year in a row. This year Paula sold $829 in candy. Paula received a candy sale patch, a top seller patch, 75-plus packages sold patch, a charm, a certificate, free pizza and skating, $23.50 off day camp, free resi dent camp, a clock radio and a trophy. Heppner’s group sold $5,473 in candy and earned $231.88 for their group. The money will go toward crafts for the children and a trip to Lehman Hot Springs, which was chosen by the kids. “ Each child did a wonderful job selling candy and they should be proud of themselves for their awards,” said leader Merry Brannon. The Camp Fire members received their awards at the Grand Council Fire held recent ly. The patches and beads repre sent the ch ild re n ’s ac complishments in many different areas, such as the candy sale, field trips, celebrating the birth day of Camp Fire, community clean-up, holiday parties and lear ning new experiences. The kids show off their awards by placing them on their vests. I just learned from informed sources that Pioneer Resources, after acquiring the 180,000 acres from Kinzua, have sold the Buckaroo Flats parcel and the By Earl W oods, Jr. Rudio Mountain parcel, altogether comprising roughly 35,000 acres. The purchasers are Louisiana Pacific Corporation, and D.R. Johnson of Grant County. In addi tion, I’ve learned that Pioneer Resources has pledged the remain ing timber property to U.S. National Bank as security for $75,000,000. The mill site is not included in the lien, and has been conveyed to Pioneer Resources free and clear. This means that Pioneer can liquidate or sell the mill, and/or its equipment, free of any interest held by any creditor. Several parties have contacted Kinzua and Pioneer expressing an interest in purchasing the mill site and the remaining 145,000 acres of timberland. Contrary to rumor, no deal for the purchase of the mill and timberland has been consumated. Pioneer Resources, at this point, has expressed some interest in operating the mill themselves, but on the other hand, if they can profit from a sale or liquidation, 1 have no doubt they would do so. A meeting was held on Tuesday, April 19 in Boardman between representatives of the county, city of Boardman, and the Port of Morrow to discuss the common interests that all of Morrow Coun ty citizens have in the siting of the C<5yote Springs co-gen plant near Boardman. The county and the Port have asked the city of Board- man to share some part of the windfall that the city will realize from the annexation of the co-gen plant in order to reduce the margin by which the other cities will be adversely affected when the road district fund is distributed. Under Oregon state statute, the other road districts monies must be divided between the cities and the coun ty depending upon a proportion which is based upon the assessed valuation within their respective boundaries. In other words, the city of lone will lose approximately $2,000; Lexington, $1.000; Heppner $6,000 and the county $212,000; as early as 1995. The county will benefit by losing responsibility for maintaining Columbia Avenue and possibly Marine Avenue. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the means by which the cities could be compensated to offset a portion of their losses as well as county losses. I think that the group is operating in the spirit of good faith, but I have serious reservations as to whether any agreement of this nature will be legally enforceable. Hopefully the leaders of each of these communities will find a resolution reasonably satisfactory to everyone. It appears that the annexation of the Coyote Springs site into the city of Boardman is imminent. Apparently, LCDC has expressed no interest in contesting the an nexation since the territory involved is within the Boardman Urban Growth Boundary. Incidentally, PGE has begun construction. You will see the heavy equipment at work as you go to Boardman.
