PENDLETON
June cruises into town with
old equipment, classic cars
By TAMMY MALGESINI
East Oregonian
For more than a decade,
the irst weekend in June
brings a pair of familiar
events to Pendleton with
the Old Iron Show and June
Cruisin.
The Old Iron Show
features an assortment of
vintage farming equipment,
antique automobiles, old iron
machinery and even loco-
motive engines. Hobbyists
are often on hand providing
demonstrations and sharing
about their interest in old
mechanical implements.
When Jack Remillard
started the irst show, there
were only six entrants. In
recent years, more than
100 entries from across the
Paciic Northwest feature all
types of antique treasures.
In its 13th year, the Old
Iron Show is Friday, June 3
and Saturday, June 4 from
8 a.m. to dusk, and Sunday,
June 5 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The event is held at Roy
Raley Park, 1205 S.W. Court
Ave., Pendleton. Admission
is free.
For more information
about the Old Iron Show,
call 541-276-5949, 541-276-
6624 or visit www.heritages-
tationmuseum.org.
June Cruisin — formerly
known as June Cruisin’ and
the British Invasion — was
initially organized by Chris
Roop of Roop’s MG as a
fundraiser for Washington
Elementary
School.
Although the name has been
shortened, the event, which
is presented by Premium Tire
and Lube and Olsen’s Auto
Parts, still ponies up cash for
the school kids.
In addition to the classic

State distributes wolf
compensation funds
Wallowa County Chieftain
The Oregon Depart-
ment of Agriculture has
approved $129,664 in
funding to be distributed to
13 counties as part of the
Oregon Wolf Depredation
Compensation and Finan-
cial Assistance County
Block Grant Program. The
biggest chunk — $52,778
— went to Umatilla
County.
Funds for 2016 have
been distributed for actual
livestock losses or injuries
caused by wolves, for
missing livestock above
the normal historical
levels in areas of known
wolf activity, for proactive
efforts to prevent wolf and
livestock interactions, and
for county wolf program
implementation.
According
to
the
Oregon
Department
of Fish and Wildlife,
Oregon’s 2015 wolf popu-
lation increased 36 percent
from the previous year to
110 wolves.
Wallowa, Umatilla and
Baker counties continued
to experience the bulk of
the state’s wolf activity and
have received $101,953 —
approximately 78 percent
of the money awarded for
2016.
The state has paid
100 percent of the claims
submitted to ODA tied
to conirmed or probable
livestock losses due to
wolves. Livestock owners
worked with ODFW to
document these losses.
Payments are made on a
reimbursement basis for
depredations that occurred
during the previous grant
cycle. Wallowa, Klamath,
and Umatilla were the only
counties iling claims with
ODA that experienced
conirmed or probable
livestock losses in the
2015 cycle. These three
counties are being awarded
$10,614 to compensate
affected ranchers for losses
due to death and/or injury.
Wallowa County received
$3,887, Klamath County
received $3,796, and
Umatilla County received
$2,931 for compensation.
Of the total funding
provided by the block
grants this year, $71,500
— or 55 percent — is
going toward proactive,
non-lethal
efforts
to
reduce conlicts between
wolves and livestock.
County-level
advisory
committees
established
by the grant program’s
legislation requested funds
to undertake proactive
conlict deterrence efforts.
A total of $5,335 was
awarded to nine counties
to help with administrative
costs.
The following is a list
of the total awards made
by ODA to counties as
part of the Oregon Wolf
Depredation Compensa-
tion and Financial Assis-
tance County Block Grant
Program for the 2016
Grant Period:
• Umatilla, $52,778
• Wallowa, $26,887
• Baker, $22,288
• Klamath, $8,796
• Union, $5,000
• Morrow, $3,675
• Lake, $3,000
• Crook, $2,000
• Wasco, $1,750
• Wheeler, $1,250
• Sherman, $1,250
• Malheur, $495
• Jackson, $495
The
fund
process
remains available for
counties
to
address
depredations that occur in
the future. In that event,
livestock operators should
submit claims to their
local county wolf advisory
committee.
Fireworks, exploding targets
illegal on federal lands
East Oregonian
The Bureau of Land
Management and the
U.S. Forest Service are
reminding forest users that
ireworks and exploding
targets are prohibited on
all BLM-managed public
lands and U.S. national
forests in Oregon and
Washington.
This year there have
already been 288 ires that
have burned over 1,500
acres.
Igniting ireworks or
using exploding targets
on BLM-managed lands
can lead to $1,000 in ines
and one year in prison, and
individuals found respon-
sible for starting wildland
ires on federal lands can
be billed for the cost of ire
suppression.
The BLM and the U.S.
Forest Service cooperates
with the Paciic Northwest
Wildire
Coordinating
Group to ight wildland ires
in the Paciic Northwest.
