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

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. John Guynup
of Langlois and Vern Bare of
Myrtle Creek will share the
district that includes Benton,
Clackamas, Clatsop, Columbia,
Coos, Curry, Douglas, Hood
River, Lane, Lincoln, Linn,
Marion, Multnomah, Polk,
Tillamook, Washington and
Yamhill counties.
The President's Award went
to Lindsay Slater, OCA's ex
ecutive vice president of
governmental and legal affairs
for his long hours and dedica
tion to the organization.
The top Wrangler award
went to Jennifer Anderson of
Jackson County for recruiting
the most new members during
1996. Other Wangler Club

people for recruiting five or
