Survey to provide economic information Heppner Gazette-Times. Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, July 27, 1994 THREE Register for Coeur d'Alene couple manage motel Creative Heppner has some new neighbors this sum m er-som e very nosy neighbors. The new neighbors actual ly are four students from Oregon State University who will be conducting a survey in Morrow County and their "n o s y ” questions are for a good reason. The Morrow County Court has commissioned Oregon State U niversity to do a special $16,000 Extension Ser vice study evaluating the economic structure of the county. In order to do so, the surveyors need to collect in formation on pattern of sales, p ay ro lls and p u rch a se s am ong th e g o v e rn m e n t, h o u se h o ld s, b u s in e s s e s , farms and ranches in Morrow County and the economic in teraction between them and with other entities outside the county. The county govern ment hopes to use the infor mation to analyze the impact of changes in economic activi ty in Morrow County, such as the loss of a business, grazing, or irrigation, for example. The information could also assist p re se n t and p ro sp e ctiv e businesses in determ ining their goals and identifying op portunities for diversification. "M orrow County is at a hell of a crossroads," said Morrow County Com missioner Don McElligott, who believes the Preschool By Anne Morter L-R: Suzanne Sutherby, Heidi Wardinger, Suzanne Jesely Johnna study is vital for a county fac ing potentially devastating changes. "W h at happens if we lo se g r a z in g ? " said McElligott. The surveyors will visit homes, businesses, farms and ranches and government of fices and will conduct quite lengthy and detailed inter views. They hope to contact every business in the county. The surveying team stresses that it is important to be prepared and to be patient. Questions range from the structure of the business to the amount of sales, pur chases and payroll to taxes paid. While the questions can be very personal, the survey ors stress that the information collected will be strictly con fidential and will be tabulated to yield results for the county as a whole, not for any one firm or individual. Those in terviewed will be assigned a number for confidentiality. The project is scheduled for completion in July of 1995. The Morrow County Sur vey Team consists of Heidi Wurdinger, 22, of Mt. Angel, and Johnna Glascock, 21, Lakeview, both of whom have LOYHAR L n s u r a n c e We’d like to do business with you a bachelor of science degree in ag -b u sin ess m anagem en t; Suzanne Vesely, 28, Dallas, who has a B.S. in biology and is doing post-baccalaureate stu d ie s in w ild life; and Suzanne Sutherby, 23, Port land, who is an undergrad uate studying ag-business m anagem ent. Project leader, Fred Obermiller, Extension resource policy economist and professor of agricultural and resource econom ics at O SU , says the mem bers of the su rv e y team h av e ru ral backgrounds. The women have all been students of Obermiller. The four will be staying in Heppner for around six weeks at the Monahan house. They will also com m u te from Heppner to survey Lexington, lone, Boardman and Irrigon. So far, they say everyone has been really h elp fu l. The women plan to do a little fishing and swimming during their off time. Wurdinger, who recently became engag ed, got instructions from her fiance to scope out some hun ting spots for the fall.
