BLMZ COUNTY OFFICIALS
SAY CLOSURE OF PUBUC
ROADS IS UNLAWFUL
Arbitrary closure of public
roads is unlawful, according to
Malheur County and BLM of­
ficials.
Requests have been
received by both agencies con­
cerning closure of public roads.
The following is a guide
released to help understand po­
licies and to promote coopera­
tion between sportsmen, land­
owners, and the general public.
Under Oregon laws any road
used by the public will be con­
sidered a public road, If the
road is used by the public,
whether maintained or not, it
is considered a public route.
TVCC Appoints
Acting Dean
Treasure valley community
College President, EmerySkin-
ner announced the appointment
of Richard DeBisschop to the
position of Acting Dean of Stu­
dent Personnel Services effec­
tive October 1. The post has
been vacant since the re­
signation of Otis K. Murray on
June 30 of this year.
Dick DeBisschop
“Mr. DeBisschop’s record of
good work and leadership in the
student affairs demonstrates
that he has the qualities the col­
lege now needs in the adminis­
tration of this highly important
division.” President Skinner
said.
“I fully expect that, under his
direction, the student affairs
personnel will continue to im­
prove upon already excellent re-
cord of service.”
DeBisschop came to TVCC
in 1966. He has both his BA
and MS degrees from Oregon
State University. His new re­
sponsibilities will include su­
pervision of counseling, food and
housing, admission and records,
financial aids, and student ac­
tivities.
Harvest Reveals Unusual Character

Such roads do not have to be
dedicated for a specific pur­
pose and no width is specified
under Oregon law.
A public
road can be informally and un­
intentionally established and yet
remain a public access route.
All territorial and old roads
established as far back as 1889
such as military, wagon, and
stage
routes are considered
public use roads. Some roads
under the “prescriptive ca­
tegory” may have 10 year limi­
tations. After the ten-year
period and if the road has been
used by the public, it is esta­
blished as a public use road.
No road closures have been
granted by the county or the
BLM at the present time.
Malheur County Judge Ellis
White stated that the county
court has not given permission
to block or padlock gates to
prevent someone from using
a county road.
Vale Acting District Mana­
ger Marly V. Jones said all
public lands under the jurisdic­
tion of the BLM are open for
hunting. This also applies to
lands owned by the State of
Oregon.
Officials from both govern­
ment branches warned, how­
ever, “this does not give the
public the right to hunt or
trespass on private lands.” A
public road may run across
private land but this does not
give an individual the right to
trespass on the private lands.
The best policy is to ask the
landowners for permission to
hunt or fish on their land.
Sugar Factory
Starts Monday
Ray Larson, district mana­
ger of Amalgamated Sugar Fac­
tory, said that the Nyssa fac­
tory will begin operations Mon­
day, October 11. Set to start
last week, operations were de­
layed until the contract between
the company and mill employees
was settled. Larson said the
four-year contract was finalized
and signed at Burley Tuesday.
All stations will open Monday
morning
except Homedale,
Overstreet, Napton and Lan-
caster, and they will open later
in the week. Actual mill opera­
tions will commence Monday
evening.
An estimated 737,000 tons of
beets will be harvested and pro­
cessed during the campaign,
which is expected to last two
weeks longer than last year,
Larson said.
Cyclists Stop Over In Nyssa
Thursday, October 7, 1971
At the height of the potato harvest one of
the more interesting characters we have
met for some time dropped in the Journal
office. Nameless, he is shown above in
three different poses, on top of a telephone
directory.

BIRTHDAYCALENDAR
Nyssa’s Steppettes have been
raising money by selling com­
munity birthday calendars. The
purpose is to raise money to
pay for the group's new uni-
forms.
Members have been selling
the calendars for $2.50, which
includes the listed birthdays of
the immediate family, the
parent’s anniversary and one
calendar. The calendars will
be delivered just before Christ­
mas.
Oct. 12 is the final date to
order thebirthday calendar, and
those who have not been contac­
ted may order from any girl in
the drill team or may call
Debbie Adams, drill team cap­
tain, at 372-3945.
The girls say that this is
the calendar usually sold by
the band, but they are relin­
quishing their rights this year
so the girls can make some
money.
They left Beloit August 7 and have cycled through the Black
Hills, the Badlands (where it was 115 degrees), Big Horn,
Yellowstone Park, and the Tetons. They backpacked at Yellow­
stone and the Tetons for 4 or 5 day side trips.
Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Stites came across the boys near
Parma, where they had a flat tire. They brought the cyclists
to Nyssa, put them up overnight, and they were on (heir way
Monday morning. They average 60 to 100 miles each day, and
once up to 150 miles with thewindbehind them. They are riding
Peugeot bikes, made in France, with 10-speed gears.
From Nyssa they will travel to the West Coast, with a back
pack trip in the Cascades planned. They will go as far South as
San Francisco, then East through the Sierras and Grand Can­
yon, and plan to be back in Beloit for the start of winter term
Jan. 3, 1972.
The boys spend about $1.50 per day, have been put up tor the
night and a meal many times, and say that people have been
very kind to them throughout their journey so far.
Area farmers were guests of
the Nyssa Chamber of Com­
merce at the regular meeting
of the chamber Wednesday noon
at Brownie’s Cafe. The speaker
was Tony Horn, Extension
Horticulturist for the Univer­
sity of Idaho, who is head­
quartered in Boise.
Mr. Horn told the gathering
of 40 persons about the grape
industry, andparticularlyCon-
cord grapes that are grown suc­
cessfully in this area. He said
that juice companies want Con­
çu» J grapes, and that they bloom
late and are not troubled by
frosts, with no damage repor­
ted in the last ten years.
Horn said that the grapes may
be sold on the fresh market
and to juice plants.
A new
juice plant is starting at Me­
ridian, called Concord-Me­
ridian, and they truck the juice
to California for wine. He said
that the grapes grown here have
a high sugar content, and are
very desirable.
Horn said that a new vine­
yard costs about $1220 per acre
to get started, and after four
years will start producing, with
the average of four tons to the
acre. Mature vineyardsaverage
eight tons to the acre. They
can be harvested with mechani­
cal harvesters, and growers
receive between $120 and $160
per ton.
Harry Sandquist, Malheur
County Extension Agent, was
also a guest of the chamber.
Horn showed colored slides to
several interested persons after
the meeting adjourned.

TVCC ESTABLISHES FULL
TIME SECURITY SYSTEM
ON CAMPUS THIS YEAR
Treasure Valley Community
College now has a full-time, on-
campus security officer in the
person of Gorman Willis, a ser­
geant with the Ontario Police
Department stationed full-time
on campus.
Students and some visitors
have already seen evidence of
his presence in the enforcement
of vehicle regulations long nee­
ded on campus.
Willis, who began his new du­
ties three weeks ago, has se­
veral responsibilities among
which are parking and vehicle
control, security of all buildings
and grounds, investigation of all
problems of a police nature
including theft and property da­
mage, supervision of all acti-
4
vities, and the transportation of
cash. In addition he will con­
duct studies of the various se­
curity requirements of different
buildings and make recommend­
ations to the college administra­
tion for improvement.
Willis sees his new role as
different from that of the city
police. “It’s more preventa­
tive.” he says.
He reflects
the attitude of the administration
that an un-uniformed officer
who is constantly mixing and
getting acquainted with students
will be more efficient in the
supervision of campus security,
will not be resented by students
public regulations, and will have
a beneficial effect on campus
LIVESTOCK GRAZING
APPLICATIONS DUE
The 1972 applications for gra­
zing of livestock on public lands
in the Vale BLM District have
been sent out to all licensees,
Marlyn V. Jones, acting dis­
trict manager, said this week.
These applications must be
completed and returned to the
Vale BLM district office by No­
vember 1.
This year 255 range users will
make application to run over
100,000 head of livestock on
Malheur county’s public lands.
Applicants are asked to con­
tact personnel in the district of­
fice if they have questions con­
cerning their individual applica­
tions, Jones said.

■Also serving on the panel are
the Dean of the Oregon State
University School of Agri­
culture and the Director of the
State Department of Agri­
culture.
“Agriculture should play an
even larger role in Oregon’s
total economic picture,” Smith
said. “In order to make this
possible, we must guarantee
that agriculture is profitable
for the farmer.”
Smith said “this means bet­
ter market potential, better
transportation schedules, more
favorable freight rates, and bet­
ter management practices of our
land and water resources.”
Two elements of the programs
success, Smith said, will be a
marriage of agriculture to nu­
clear power generation as an
irrigation source, and passage
in May of 1972 of Ballot Mea­
sure No. 5, which will enable
communities and agriculture to
develop water resources tai­
lored to their needs.
Collett, a fruit and vegetable

tive, is serving his first term
in the Legislature.
He was
Vice Chairman of the House
Agriculture Subcommittee du­
ring the 1971 session.
Gorman Willis
In the future, it is quite pos­
sible that the position will also
involve work with the Police
Science program. Willis’ years
of experience and his training
should be valuable to students
in the classroom and his admin­
istrative talents could be put
to work on the development of
student police reserve and the
coordination of on and off-
campus field experience assign­
ments for sophomore Police
Science students.
