Chuck Nelson adds dimension
to O W G L program
Chuck Nelson of Lexington is
adding new dimensions to the
Oregon Wheat Growers
League program for honoring
conservation-minded farmers.
The Morrow County wheat
farmer has convinced Safeway,
Inc. and other businesses to
help in the promotion of con
servation of soil and water.
As a result, you soon may see
Safeway grocery sacks carrying
a message about conservation
farmers.
That's not all. Safeway is
contributing a $50 gift certificate
to each county conservation
farmer of the year, and a $100
certificate to the state winner.
Cenex/Land O'Lakes is con
tributing a $50 gift certificate to
each county winner and an ad
ditional $100 certificate to the
state winner.
Monsanto, through the ef
forts of its representative Russ
Cannon, Pendleton, gives the
state winner 30 gallons of
Round-Up herbicide, worth
about $1,200.

Times Northwest and Capital
Press, contribute a year's

Choosing Children’s
Cold Medicine
Choosing a good cold medi
cine for a young child is not as
easy as it may seem. For one
thing, there are many products
containing multiple ingredients
from which to choose. In addi
tion, some health organizations
including the Center for Disease
Control are concerned that chil
dren under age three receive too
many over-the-counter (OTC)
medicines One survey revealed
that in a month’s time more than
half of all three year olds were
given an OTC of some type.
Many OTCs are not needed.
First of all, there is no cure
for the common cold. At best
OTC medicines may help relieve
cold symptoms. In addition, ex
perts recommend that as few
medicines as possible be given
in order to minimize side effects.
Antihistamines usually do not
do much to help a cold, unless
allergic rhinitis is also present.
Cough suppressants such as
dextrom ethorphan are not rec
ommended by some physicians.
The cough that accompanies a
cold can be beneficial - to help
clear the lungs and air passages.
Expectorants such as guaifensin
are considered ineffective by
some experts. Fever reducing
medicines such as a c e t a m i
nophen may not be needed. This
medicine tends to be overused
by many parents. Decongestants
may help relieve the congestion
of a cold. A humidifier in the
bedroom also may help a child
breathe easier

winner.
Nelson, 1993 state conserva
tion man of the year and chair
man of the 1994 conservation
review committee of the
OW GL,
hasn't
decided
whether to try to seek to ex
pand the prize list.
The new look to the OWGL
conservation awards program
this year included a new way
of gathering the information
about each farm.
As in the past, the farm of
each county winner was
toured. But instead of a com
mittee, the tour centered
around a television camera
operated by Sandy Macnab,
Wasco County Extension agent
and OWGL membership ser
vices director, Pam Ezell, who
wrote a narrative for each visit.
The conservation awards
committee studied each of
these 1 V 2 hour tapes. Next the
tapes were edited to seven
minute versions shown at the
conservation awards luncheon
during the OWGL convention
held recently.

Brok Tucker elected chairman
Republican Central Committee
Brok Tucker Lexington has
been elected chairman of the
Morrow County Republican
Central Committee. Tucker, a
long time resident of Morrow
County, replaces Bob Jepsen.
Jepsen provided strong
leadership to the Central Com
mittee for eight years, said a
Central Committee spokesper
son. Greg Smith was elected
vice-chairman, and Kay Proctor
was
re-elected
secretary/treasurer.
Tucker says he already has a
few plans for the Central Com
mittee which oversees party ac
tivities within the county.
"You don't have to be a
mayor or a county commis
sioner to make a difference or
provide a strong leadership role
in the county," Tucker said.
"With hard work and per
severance I think we can assist
our elected officials in creating
a better government that more
represents the desires of all
Morrow County residents."
Smith, who worked for State
Representative Greg Walden
during the 1991 lesislative ses
sion says he will work to
strengthen party numbers.
'' First and foremost we need to
get the work out that the
Republican party is looking for
additional members," Smith
said. "By letting the folks in
Morrow County know what
Republicans stand for, or
maybe more importantly letting
the folks know what we won't
stand for 1 think we will con
tinue to gain even more sup
port."
In other business, the Central
Committee elected David Skyes
to serve as Precinct 9 represen
tative, Bob Jepsen to chair the
finance sulxommittee, Corrine
Miles to chair the voter registra
tion sub-committee, Dick Tem
ple to chair the Republican fair
booth, and Ken Turner to chair
the parade sub-committee.
Tucker and Smith were also
elected to serve as represen
tatives of Morrow County
Republicans in electing
delegates and respective alter
nates to go to the Republican
National Convention. Janet
Tucker and Lisa Smith were
elected their alternates.
Coordinating Council elects officers
The Heppner Coordinating
Council will meet on Tuesday,
January 10 at 7:30 a.m. at the
GEODC office in Heppner.
The purpose of the meeting
will be goal setting for the
council for 1995.
At the meeting Dec. 13 1995
officers were elected. George
Koffler will serve as chairman,
Stan Hoobing, vice chairman
and
John
Edmundson,
secretary.
The council discussed the for
mation of a Heppner team to
participate in the Rural Futures
Forum community leadership
program sponsored by Rural
Development Initiatives, Inc.
The main topic discussed at
the meeting was a self-
assessment of the council's
functioning as a community
response team.
The council recommended
itself to its mission of building
the economic health, unity and
progress of the Heppner
community.
The meeting was closed with
an expression of appreciation to
Gary Marks for his service as
chairman of the council for the
last two years.
The Senior Center dining room was beautifully decorated for
Christmas by Ernie and Mary Jean McCabe last week. They
decorate for all the holidays which is much appreciated by the
seniors.
The tree brought in by Ralph Walker was trimmed by the
tenants Tuesday. Merri Reamer visited the center that day and
brought a beautiful poinsettia plant and a jigsaw puzzle for the
seniors. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at St. Patrick's
Senior Center. The tenants have decorations up in their apart
ments and in the halls.
Darrell Vinson was ill and taken to Portland where he was
diagnosed as having an aneurysm. We wish him a speedy
recovery, and hope that he will be home soon.
The Senior meal had an attendance of 81 people on Wed., Dec..
7 with three home delivered meals. Members of the Seventh Day
Adventist and Nazarene Churches served. The Nutrition Site
Committee met following the meal. Jim Bruns was at the center
to give hearing aid assistance.
The menu for Dec. 21 will be beans and wieners, fruit, celery
and carrot sticks, cole slaw and cornbread. Members of the
Methodist Church will serve.
Sunday afternoon passengers went to Hermiston on the senior
bus which was driven by Ed Baker. They attended the Singing
Christmas Tree production, "The Gift of Christmas", presented
by the Hermiston Assembly of God. Anyone who hasn't attended
one of these pageants has missed a great experience. The seniors
also went shopping and dined at the Gold Corral before retur
ning to Heppner.
There will be a bus tour of Heppner to view the Christmas
lights, with cookies and coffee at the senior center. Call Eleanor
Gonty for the time and date.
