Court hears telecommunications presentation
By Doris Brosnan
On May 16, the Morrow County
Court heard a presentation by
representatives o f the Education
Service District about modifying
the county's telecomm unications
system. Using a current projected
cost for telephone services and the
actual telephone expenses for the
year 2000, the court studied features
that would improve the court's
telecommunications system.
As outlined, the new services
could
relieve
the
central
switchboard, eliminate the need for
more than a trunk line from
CenturyTel, make Boardman and
Imgon local calls and eliminate the
"extended area service” calls in the
Heppner area. The court and some
department heads stated some
feature preferences and some needs
and concerns.
The cost projection, w hich would
equal approximately one-third o f
the current system expenses, would
include T -l lines and high-speed
connections. The CSEPP system,
which is not part o f the county's
system, was discussed, and the
representatives ofESD hypothesized
on how that could be integrated and
at what added expense.
The group discussed financing
o f installation, the purchase of
equipment and the annual operating
cost for the proposed system. The
court agreed to discuss the proposed
contract with county counsel.
Public W orks Director Burke
O'Brien then gave the ESD
representatives an overview o f the
IRIS system, a road-cost accounting
system, which he said is ready but
waiting for approval o f the T-l line
installation costs. The court
approved installation o f that system.
O'Brien discussed with the court
the Port o f M orrow's need for a
permit for cutting a county road's
pavement. They also considered
that the port m anager has voiced
some interest in the port's taking
responsibility for Rippee Road, part
o f Industrial Way, and eventually
Columbia Avenue, with continued
public access.
O'Brien reported having met with
a contractor to discuss installation
o f an elevator at the courthouse,
providing an option for access to
the second floor. He reported some
options and asked about getting a
preliminary engineering analysis
o f such a project. The court
requested that the county surveyor
com plete an analysis.
Judge Terry Tallman related to
the court that Representative Greg
Smith has recommended securing
in writing all that the Governor’s
representative agreed to at an "Ione-
Boardman Road" meeting the
previous day. Noted was that the
previous day had resulted in a
tentative easement and altemate-
road proposal needing agreement
among the County Planning
Commission, the National Guard,
and the Nature Conservancy.
Mano Magana presented the court
an overview o f extension programs,
his background, the 4-H program,
and Magana's accomplishments in
the county through these programs:
school programs, projects, classes,
field trips, summer camps and other
new 4-H activities for underserved
populations.
Magana reported that Morrow
County is the first county to pay
close attention to the Hispanic
com m unity and has the highest
percentage o f Hispanic participants
in the state. He reported on the
soccer program, the Mexican
Folklonc Dance Club, the Computer
Club and the Sewing Club. He noted
partnerships with Behavioral Health,
the Commission on Children and
Families, American Youth Soccer
Association,
the
Juvenile
Department, and the public schools
and parks. Director o f the OSU
Extension Program Bill Brodenck
observed the purposeful slant toward
the Hispanic population, which the
court agreed the traditional 4-H
programs have not benefited.
With County Counsel Bill
Hanlon, the court discussed a union
letter regarding the county's request
for waver o f interest on a health
insurance underpayment that was
not billed for 18 months. Hanlon
and the court also met with owners
o f the Norman Ruhl Quarry to
discuss and clarify some language
in a new agreement. The court will
plan to sign a new agreement at the
next court session.
Other actions o f the court
included the following:
- approval of a proposed contract
with the museum board, now
awaiting review by county counsel;
- approval o f the purchase of a
car for the sheriffs department to
be used by communications officers
and paid for with 911 funds;
- approval o f the purchase for
the road department o f a used

St. Patrick's Senior Center
BULLETIN BOARD
By Liz Straley
We at the St. Pat's Center appreciate the floral arrangements from
the Mildred Eubanks' service. Our sympathies to John and her family.
A memorial service was held at the senior center on Sunday afternoon.
This past week, travelers came back. Dorns Graves from Hermiston.
and Bonnie Gates (Corol Mitchell's mother) and sister Sheila returned
from a weekend trip to the coast.
Surprise visitors for Irene Anhom and sister Mary Goheen were
Irene's son and his wife from LaGrande and daughter from Pilot Rock.
O rchids for all.
Also visiting were Jane Rawlins' daughter from Corvallis and son
from Pittsburgh, Penn., who got a tour o f the center.
Things were back to normal on Tuesday with exercise class in the
morning and one card table o f players with coffee and cookies served.
The puzzle comer was very busy. Daisy Collins brought in a big bucketful
o f lilacs (up for grabs) and they smelled great.
There were 83 diners and "take outs" on Wednesday, served by Lillian
Shaddock, Delta Huber and Joyce and Lester Grasser from the Seventh-day
Adventist Church.
Thursday exercise class was held in the morning and a "thank you"
lunch from the men o f Hermiston Glass Co. who installed all the new
windows on the first floor at the center was held. The lunch was barbecued
chicken, potato salad, spinach salad, baked bread sticks, peaches, cookies
and beverages The luncheon was given to the residents too, for any
inconvenience experienced over the late winter months. It was very gracious
o f them. A vote was taken to serve Thursday lunch at 11 a m. instead
o f noon.
The Thursday afternoon movie was an old classic, "The African
Q ueen” with Katherine Hepburn and Hum phrey Bogart.
Sorry to say that the bus trip to Capeco's open house in Pendleton
was cancelled due to not having enough passengers on Friday. There
were two card tables o f players on Friday, with the coffee pot going
and cookies served.
Dorns Graves and Sylvia McDaniels had visitors and enjoyed the
time spent with them.
Over the years, pictures have been taken o f past and present residents
o f the center by Jane Rawlins and Velma Wight. Velma has been busy
putting them in order and put them in an album for all who want to look
at it. We appreciate this "labor o f love".
The menu for the Wednesday, May 23 lunch was baked chicken,
baked pork and beans, potato salad, carrot sticks, fruit salad, cheese
biscuits, dixie cups and beverages.
