10 Smoke Signals OCTOBER 15, 2019 Walking On... Judy E. Shaw Photo by Timothy J. Gonzalez A 26-inch women’s Kent Bayside Shimano steel frame gold cruiser bicycle has been chained to a steel guardrail along the north side of Highway 18 for the past three months. The owner was arrested in August and told by a Polk County deputy he could chain his bike to the guardrail so it wouldn’t be stolen, according to Grand Ronde Police Chief Jake McKnight. Abandoned bicycle owner was arrested By Danielle Frost Smoke Signals staff writer The mystery of why there is a women’s gold bike locked up along the north side of Highway 18 near the South Yamhill River sign has been solved. Grand Ronde Tribal Police Chief Jake McKnight said on Wednesday, Oct. 2, that further investigation by his staff revealed that the owner was arrested by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office on Aug. 23. “The deputy told him he could lock his bicycle to the guardrail so that no one would steal it,” McKnight said. The owner has not been able to make it back to Grand Ronde to retrieve his bicycle since then. McKnight said he would contact the Oregon Department of Transpor- tation to see what they would like done with the bicycle. The bike came to the attention of the Grand Ronde community after Tribal member Angelica Martin recently posted fliers through the Tribal campus seeking help in identifying the bike’s owner. The man was described as approximately 6 feet tall, with tan skin, black shoulder-length hair and weighing approximately 140 pounds. He was his late 30s or early 40s and it is not known if he is a Grand Ronde Tribal member or not. The bike is a women’s gold-colored, 26-inch Kent Bayside Cruiser. Martin said that items found on the bike indicate the man was possibly homeless. Highway 22 to be closed for one more weekend DOLPH JUNCTION – Highway 22 between Hebo and Grand Ronde will be closed for one more weekend in October as work on a culvert replacement project at Sourgrass Creek continues. Highway 22 will be closed Oct. 25-28 from 7 p.m. Friday through 6 a.m. Monday. The project, which started in May, is replacing the failing culvert with a bridge near mile point 11.3, which is about three-quarters of mile east of Dolph Junction. The full weekend closures will allow the project to be completed by Oct. 31. The closures are complete closures and no through traffic will be allowed to use the road. Traffic will be detoured to U.S. 101 and Highway 18. The work is weather dependent, meaning the closures would be rescheduled to other weekends dependent on weather conditions.

July 20, 1955 – Sept. 16, 2019 On Monday, Sept. 16, 2019, Tribal spouse Judy Elaine Shaw of Astoria, Ore., loving wife and mother of three children, walked on at age 64 in Grand Ronde, Ore. Judy was born on July 20, 1955, in San Diego, Calif., to Charles and Elaine (Carter) Barber. She grew up on Whidbey Island in Washington before moving to Astoria in 1973 to attend Tongue Point Job Corp Center. She married Kenneth Shaw in 1975 and raised one daughter, Norma, and two sons, Charles and Michael. When her children were old enough, she worked in the local canneries and hotels. She was the first to open up her home to help friends and family in need. Judy had a wonderfully oddball sense of humor that was balanced by an equally wonderful ornery side that came out when you misbehaved. In her jobs, she was a woman who had a keen work ethic. She loved to read and do word search puzzles as well as baking and crocheting. Judy is preceded in death by her mother, Elaine; her father, Charles; and her brother, Charles. She is survived by her husband, Kenneth; three children and their significant others, Norma and Mark Reed of Grand Ronde, Charles Shaw of Astoria and Michael Shaw and Amanda Leitch of Grand Ronde; two grandsons, Dominic and Spencer Shaw of Grand Ronde; siblings and their significant others, Penny and Duane Wells of Astoria and Tracy Temple of Anacortes, Wash.; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Grouse and quail hunters asked to return wings, Grouse and quail hunters asked to return wings, tails for research tails for research The hunting season for forest grouse and quail in Western Oregon is open September 1, 2019 through January 31, 2020. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife asks successful grouse and mountain quail hunters to donate a wing and tail of each bird for biological research. The wings and tails provide information on hatch date, recruitment, age and sex ratios of the populations to help set next year’s hunting seasons. Blue collection barrels are located at Grand Ronde Station and the intersection of Agency Creek Road and Yoncalla Road on the Reservation near the 4 mile marker. An entire wing and whole tail including small rump feathers should be removed. Paper bags are provided in the collection barrels for the parts, and hunters should mark harvest date, county taken, and general location. Refer to the Game Bird Regulations for specific grouse and quail identification tips. It is illegal to shoot spruce grouse in Oregon. Collection Barrels WIC visits Community Center monthly Pregnant?
