FOUR - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, October 25, 2017 SMITH -Continued from PAGE ONE that are using or plan on using more of their allotment. Smith says the program is nothing more than a hidden tax on business and industry and will harm the state’s economy and job creation. He pointed out the negative impact it would have on local farmers and the food processors at the Port of Morrow. Smith says the tax money would go to the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), and could be quite a bit of money. “We don’t need to send $100 million to the DEQ without rules. No one wants the carbon going into the atmosphere, but don’t kill industry with cap and trade,” Smith says. Local pioneer family Junior High football wraps up season honored The third annual Okto- berfest auction and dinner held last weekend in Ar- lington honored the Cecil family, pioneers who settled in the Ione area. William Y. Cecil was born in England on May 24, 1819. He came to Illinois as a child and later moved to Missouri. He married Mary E. Robinson on Dec. 11, 1847. The Cecils came across the plains in 1862, settling at Willow Creek Crossing, now known as Cecil, on the Oregon Trail. After Wil- liam’s death in 1896, Mary Cecil lived in their home at Cecil until she died in 1903. IRRIGATION -Continued from PAGE ONE nd Spike Only 2 Season Elk Hunt were successful this year. This is something that the park has been doing for several years, the parks way to give back to the Morrow and Grant County residents and encourage family youth activities/education out- doors,” said Kirsti Cason, administrative assistant for Morrow County Public Works Dept. which admin- isters the hunt. “The goal is to have equal numbers from Morrow and Grant County, but often not enough apply to meet this goal. Rather than leave those spots un- filled, remaining applicants are chosen. All success- ful applicants are required to purchase any and all licenses, tags and items They had a family of nine children. One of the earliest post offices was established in Cecil in 1867. Thousands of immigrants camped at Cecil, using the water from the well which had been dug in 1862-1863. Water was scarce between Rock Creek and Wells Springs, so Cecil was a major stop- ping place. Indians and homesteaders also used the well, hauling water to their dwellings with horses and water wagons. Cecil had its own train depot for many years, ser- vicing the railroad that came through there in 1888. WAGES Conor Brosnan runs the ball up field with help from teammates Derek Smith, Kegan Steagall, Blane Mahoney, Tucker Ashbeck and Joseph Sherman during Heppner’s Junior High football game against Weston-McEwen in Heppner Winner Announced -Continued from PAGE ONE necessary for this hunt, Morrow and Grant County OHV Park only provides access to the hunting area for the youth. All success- ful applicants will receive a hunting packet containing ID, passes and maps. These items help identify them as those that are permitted to hunt on the property,” she added. In other announcements the Commission learned that Burke O’Brien would be retiring Nov. 30 as head of the county public works, which includes the road de- partment. The commission stated that they would use this opportunity to examine the “structure” of public works while looking for his replacement. A BCDA representative at the meeting said the funds would allow the program to continue through the end of 2017. According to BCDA 70 to 80 percent of the awards went to new people moving into the Boardman area. Money will start com- ing into the CREZ from its business agreements, and the board hopes to make further disbursements in January 2018. In the past the board has awarded funds based on four major categories: housing, edu- cation and training, public safety and community en- hancement.
