CHAMBER CHATTER
By Claudia Hughes
Chamber Executive Director
By now the ballots have
arrived in voting households.
Your vote can make a difference
and we sometimes forget what a
privilege it is to have a voice in
our country. It’s easy to become
apathetic and w onder if it does
any good. Take a few minutes to
m ark your ballot, hold a living
room forum to hear different
opinions, think about the people
w ho m ake a difference in rural
c o m m u n itie s ,
c o n s id e r
agriculture, the need for jobs,
listeners, those w ho represent
those things closest to your heart,
those w ho are w illing to state
what they believe, and then cast
your ballot. Every vote matters.
You matter.

She just happened to mention this
while in Artisan Village. Not too
many days after that a phone call
came. They had found airplane
material and invited her to come
in to see if it would suit her. Now,
I d o n ’t know “the rest o f the

Explanation
of
Measure 25-14
T he M orrow C ounty
Unified Recreation District is an
.O regon sp ecial d istric t that
provides park and recreation
services throughout M orrow
County. The District is governed
by a b o a rd o f fiv e e le c te d
directors. Since the District was
formed in 1995, its directors have
been elected by zone; that is, the
District is divided into five zones,
and one director represents each
zone. The director representing
the zone must reside within the
zone, and is elected by electors
residing within the zone.
A f te r e a c h f e d e ra l
census, the law req u ires the
D istrict b o ard to a d ju st the
electoral zones to ensure that they
are as equal in population as
possible. If the method o f electing
the board by electoral zones
rem ains in place, the board will
be r e q u ir e d to m a k e th is
a d ju stm e n t w ith in th e year.
Because the County’s population
is increasingly concentrated in the
th re e z o n e s e n c o m p a s s in g
Boardman, Irrigon, and adjacent
rural areas, and relatively sparse
in the tw o southern zones, the
geographic boundaries o f the
southern zones will have to be
extended into the Boardm an-
Irrigon areas to balan ce the
population among the zones. The
District’s board o f directors has
determ ined that this boundary
shift will effectively elim inate
representation by geographic
area.
To resolve this concern,
the District placed a measure on
the ballot at the Nov. 5, 2002,
general election, to elim inate
electoral zones within the District,
so that board m em bers will be
elected at-large by all eligible
voters in the County.
The Board decided to
put the ballot measure before the
voters for the following reasons:
-It is in the best interest o f the
district to elim inate the need to
adjust our boundaries each time
there is a census. That process is
very expensive; -Because the
boundary shift w ould have to
extend the lone and H eppner
zones into the Boardm an and
Irrig o n a re a s it e lim in a te s
representation by geography
area; and -By having all board
m em bers serve the district at
large they are responsible to the
constituents o f the entire district,
not just their zone.
Currently, the Board o f
D irecto rs co n sists of: T erry
Tallman, Boardman; Bob Byrd,
Irrigon; B arry Turner, O uter
Boardman / Irrigon; Del LaRue,
lone; and C yde M arie Estes,
Heppner.
Each year, the district
contracts w ith local non-profit
e n titie s to f a c ilita te m an y
activities, som e o f w hich are:
music, advertising and fireworks
for the Boardman Fourth o f July;
music and advertising for the lone
Fourth o f July; m usic for the
Irrigon W aterm elon festival;
m usic in the Parks, Boardm an
and Irrigon; music for Cinco de
M ayo; m usic for St. Patrick’s
Day; entertainment for the Lewis
and Clark Heritage Day; music
in th e P a rk s fo r H e p p n e r,
Lexington and lone; and m any
others. The district’s prim ary
c o n tra c t is w ith th e S chool
District to provide co-curricular
activities.
