Along with fall comes the Morrow County renaissance, as demonstrated by the large crowd at the Penland House Thursday evening during the kick-off of the Morrow County Arts Council membership drive. Many Chamber mem bers were among the 50-plus people enjoying the music, refreshments and Don Eppen- bach's synopsis of what lies ahead. Dance and instrumental in struction, plays, a mystery theater, jazz and youth sym phony are just a few of the coming events which are being funded by the Morrow Coun ty Unified Recreation District or sponsored by the Morrow County Arts Council. This hard-working group makes the job of the Chamber cultural committee easy. We're here to assist. Stop by the Chamber of fice for a brochure to preview the positive opportunities to enjoy culture with our Morrow' County neighbors. Mark your calendars for the Wednesday, Oct. 16 Candi dates' Forum, sponsored by the Heppner Chamber. Measures will be presented at the Tues day, Oct. 8 and 15 membership meetings at noon at Kate's Pizza. Watch for the second issue of the Chamber newsletter for ac tivities and coming events.

How will deer, antelope and elk drink if they're fenced out? Here's the most absurd provision of all. Anyone can bring legal action against farm families and other private property owners. Anyone! From anywhere! Not only will harassing lawsuits skyrocket, only the person bringing the lawsuit can recover court costs and legal fees, except in rare cases. Instigators and their lawyers from across the country will have a huge incentive to abuse. And nothing whatsoever to lose. Measure 38 is wrong. Dead wrong. Farmers and ranchers already work together to consistently improve land and water conditions. Do you really want a few extremists and their lawyers to fence in Oregon? To fence Oregonians out of their lands and livelihoods? No way. ’V K ..V ;• »- . 1 - ^ ' - • ‘ •*-,**■-4 T- V -. . • • _ J ; 4 - * * . - •*; „ f: MJ The 38 in question is not a gun. But it might as well be. Because it's aimed at so many things that are near and dear to Oregonians: The family farm. Life without lawsuits. Wildlife. Outdoor recreation. The livestock industry. Measure 38 seeks to fence in Oregon's farms, ranches and dairylands. Why? Because the extremists who ginned up this measure claim that horses, sheep, pigs, cows, llamas— even ostriches and emus are the principal cause of pollution in Oregon's streams. Right problem. Wrong solution. If you let Measure 38 pass, the negative economic impact on our state will be devastating. Because it calls for fencing in all lands where livestock grazes. That's a lot of wire, folks. Family farms can't afford it. Dairy farmers can't afford it. Livestock ranchers can't afford it.
