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.
