Tha Sugar City
Selected
Town
Crier t-Jr for Task
Force
tJz
by Pal Savage
State Representative Denny
Jones. R-Ontario. has been
selected to serve
on the
House Task Force on Rules
and Procedures. House Spea
ker Phil Lang announced
Thursday.
Jones joins a legislative
committee that will evaluate
legislative reform proposals
with the goal of improving
the procedure by which the
House operates.
The 13 member committee
will begin meeting soon and
will operate throughout the
legislative interim.
Jones said that the efforts
of the Task Force are
important because, “The
legislature wastes too much
time and money for the
amount it accomplishes.'*
Krazy Daze were fairly
successful considering the
cool weather, but as the day
warmed up. more people
came to town and the fun
began. A big crowd put dents
in the old car and seemed to
enjoy pounding away with a
sledge hammer. The funniest
sight of course was seeing
some of our local citizens
getting hit in the face with a
pie. Many thanks to all who
volunteered to receive the
'hit' so to speak. Some of our
prize winners didn't get their
picture taken so thought I
would mention them here. I
thought the 'Super Hero*
idea of KSRV's was delight
ful. This was something the
little kids (some of you bigger
ones too) could really relate
to. Danny and Tony Sillonis,
sons of Mike and Janice
Sillonis of Parma won $5 each
from KSRV for their hero
costumes and Tony also won
second place at the Gate City
Journal. Other Journal prize
winners were Jackie Yepez,
daughter of Shirley and
Henry Yepez, first place and
Nichole Runnels, daughter of
Dick and Donna Runnels was
the third place winner.
Kimmic Jasper, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Gary Jasper
won the pet dish at Pet Haven
for dressing up her dog.
"Pepper " The whole day
was fun, involving a lot of
people, and if this town
needs something to give it a
push, it certainly needs total
Involvement between the
merchants and townspeople.

Nyssa will be having a new
first in November. The ladies
of the Eagles Auxiliary are
sponsoring the first Annual
Holiday Market on Saturday.
November 19 from 10 a.m. to
4 p.m. at the Eagles Hall.
This is for the whole
community, clubs organiza
tions, churches, individuals,
etc. Booth space will be
available for $5 per booth.
(There is limited space, so
get your booth rented.) All
craft items, food, handicrafts
bazaar items, etc., may be
sold during the day. This
sounds great because the
public is invited to shop, or
browse: those selling get to
keep their profits; it is a new
idea for Nyssa, and many
thanks to the Eagles Auxi
liary for coming up with the
idea. For further information
call Betty Rieb. 372-3947 or

Repairs on
Adrian Bridge
Approved
Repairs costing cn esti
mated $60,000 to the Snake
River (Adrian) Bridge were
approved today by the
Oregon Transportation Com
mission.
The repairs are expected to
be made without significant
interruption to traffic. The
bridge at Adrian was com
pleted and opened to traffic
in 1973 but a post-construc
tion problem has developed
at three of the supporting
piers.
A contract for the repair
work is expected to be let
soon.
The preliminary enroll
ment figures are in at Trea
sure Valley Community Col
lege for fall quarter, and it
looks as though the college
will serve about the same
number of students as they
did last fall.
Comparing the second day
of registration for 1977 with
the 1976 figures of the same
period, total enrollment is
down 55 students, but the
number of full-time students
has increased. Total head
count this year is 865,
compared to 920 last year.
The number of full-time
students registered this quar
ter is 582, compared to 577 a
year ago. In 1976, the college
had 343 part-time students,
this year 283 have enrolled.
College officials point out
that, contrary to fall quarter.
1976, most of the community
education classes do not start
until the week after registra
tion. In addition, past history
indicates that about 130 full-
time students will register
after classes start.
The official figures will not
be available for another three
to four weeks, according to
Dick DeBischopp. dean of
students. At that time, the
college will not only know
how many total students have
enrolled, but will also know
the important full-time equi-
valancey (FTE) figure.
The FTE figure is the basis
for state reimbursement and
is the number of Oregon
students who are enrolled.
