New Elementary School principal on the job Missionaries to speak at Center School district to hold executive session The Morrow County School District has scheduled an executive session on Thursday, July 1, at 7 p.m. at the district office in Lexington to establish goals for the new chief executive officer of the district. The Heppner Chamber of Commerce took a tour last Thursday of the Umatilla Army Depot and the Potlatch tree growing operation near Boardman. The top picture shows chamber members looking over an empty igloo on the depot Of the 1006 igloos on the depot, only 89 of them contain chemical weapons. The chamber also got a look at the construction site of the new chemical weapons disposal plant now under construction. The plant is expected to start operations in the year 2002 with completion of chemical destruction by 2005. There are two types of nerve gas and one type blister agent stored in one section of the depot. Projectiles, rockets, bombs and mines will also be destroyed at the disposal plant. Later the chamber took a tour of the Potlatch tree growing operation near Boardman. Potlatch has 18,000 acres planted into trees. The above picture shows trees that are five years old. The trees are fast growing hybrid cottonwoods that will be harvested in two years. The growing operation uses a sophisticated computer controlled drip irrigation system to water and fertilize the trees. Originally the trees were planted to be sold for the chip market, however, Potlatch officials says they are experimenting with new breeds of trees and various planting methods which may allow the trees to be used in the lamination market. The above picture was taken in what was formerly an irrigation circle near Boardman.
