The Portland Oregonian, large daily of Oregon's lar
gest city, has again muddled information in what could
have been good publicity for Nyssa and the surrounding
area. But for a thinly populated area of Eastern Oregon,
which one Portland legislator described as a land of
“Jack Rabbits and Sagebrush," what else could one ex-
poot
The first instance was during July 1961 when Joe
Bianco, agricultural editor, registered in the Nyssa labor
camp (through the help of a local church official in the
middle of the night) under the guise of a needy migrant
laborer. After spending three days in the area and three
hours as a field laborer, he became an expert on all the
problems, without bothering to check with responsible
authorities as to conditions.
As a result of his trip, he distorted the facts and
printed untruths which were later published in national
magazines. Some three weeks later, after numerous let
ters of objections, the paper carried our editorial along
with a letter from Mrs. John Schenk, where Bianco had
performed his “three hours of labor.” But the harm was
done — these were never carried in the national publi
cations as a refutation of his story.
The second instance, and the "Repeat Performance,’’
appeared in the Thursday, July 7, 1966, edition of the
Oregonian under an item by Frank Sterrett, chief pho
tographer of the Oregonian. It was not vicious, as was
Bianco’s series, but was untrue in what local people con
sider as important.
While touring the Owyhees and the reservoir, under
the guidance of Lloyd Russell and William MacKnight,
editor of the Argus-jObserver, Sterrett wrote of the un
usual features of Malheur county, and gave us quite a
lot of favorable publicity. In fact, we consider he went
“overboard” on part of it. He expanded on some to the
point he sounded like a member of the Los Angeles
Chamber of Commerce — sans true fact.
But — when he moved Thunderegg Days from Nyssa
to Ontario for Aug. 4-5-6 — it is unforgivable. That is
strictly our promotion and belongs in no part to our lar
ger neighboring city. They will benefit from it with our
overflow of travelers but are not entitled to the credit.
We cannot blame our Ontario neighbors who served
as guides on the tour, but in fairness, feel that they
should enlighten the Oregonian where the “Rockhound
Convention” is to be held . . . and w’ould suggest that
the big daily not try to make feature writers of their
photographers!
