EIGHT - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday. January 1, 1997 Lady Cards best Lady Vikings OCA presents awards, elects officers The Oregon Cattlemen's Association (OCA) held its 83rd annual convention and trade show recently. The three day meeting drew participants from around the state. Oregon pro ducers were allowed to set policy and discuss current Keep vital records on hand The term ' vital records'' refers to official records of births, deaths, marriages and divorces. In Oregon, vital re cords are filed permanently with the Oregon State Health Division (OSHD). "You don't need to carry vital records with you all the time like a driver's license," says Carol Michael, Oregon State University Extension home economist for Morrow and Umatilla counties. "But when you need them-for exam ple, to apply for a passport or for government benefits-you often need them immediately." It is a good idea to have copies of the vital records for all family members. Then, when the need arises, you won't en counter delays while you wait for the proper records to arrive, says Michael. Vital records may be obtain ed by mail, fax or in person from the Vital Statistics section of the OSHD in Portland. Their current number, (503) 731-4095, is good until the end of the year. Afterwards, to find their phone number, look in the state government pages of the telephone directory, under the Health Division, Vital Records Office.

A grain warehouse failure in Malheur County has spurred the Oregon Wheat Growers League (OWGL) to take a closer look at state licensing and bonding laws for state- licensed grain warehouses. The bankruptcy of Bruins Commo dities, Inc., left several growers and grain users holding an empty bag and has spawned questions about the adequacy of state licensing and inspection programs. Oregon commercial grain warehouses are required to ob tain either state or federal licenses. Those opting to li cense under the federal pro gram receive federal licenses and are inspected periodically by USD A auditors. They also obtain surety bonds as required by federal regulations, to pro tect producers who deliver un sold grain to the facility. State licensees must obtain bonds and a license as required by state regulations, but since 1993, the Oregon Dept, of Agriculture has had insufficient funding to conduct warehouse inspections. Bruins was a state- licensed warehouse, and many believe that adequate state in issues, such as Measure 38. During the meeting, five new regional officers were elected. The new district vice presidents will each serve a two year term. Vicki Ashley of Maupin will represent Umatilla, Morrow, Gilliam, Sherman and Wasco counties. Jeff Nauman of Mit chell will represent Jefferson, Wheeler, Crook and Deschutes counties. Louise Grothe of Lakeview will represent Lake, Klamath, Jackson and Jose phine counties.
