Hairstylist returns to trade after brief retirement
By Angel Carpenter
Blue Mountain Eagle
Judy Chapman of Cutting
Edge Hair Salon in John Day
is back “behind the chair”
with 44 years of experience.
Her attempt at retire-
ment last fall lasted all of
six months. When she saw
an advertisement for the sa-
lon, located at 150 SE Day-
ton St., she jumped at the
chance, eager to get back to
her career.
“I got bored and missed
doing hair,” she said.
Chapman moved from
McMinnville to Seneca to
retire and be near her two
brothers, who are also in re-
tirement in Seneca, a place
their family visited in their
younger years.
She opened her business
on April 1.
Chapman said she likes
to make hair appointments
pleasant for her clients, and
her work has a calming ef-
fect for her as well.
“It’s relaxing to cut peo-
ple’s hair,” she said. “I enjoy
it.”
She worked 10 years in
McMinnville and before that
owned a salon for 25 years
in Willamina.
“Over there, I worked six
days a week for 12 hours a
day,” she said.
She’s also a licensed es-
thetics and hair design in-
structor, but she said she
prefers styling clients’ hair
to teaching.
Chapman
offers
a
full-service hair salon for the
entire family, including hair-
cuts, shampoo and set, hair
color (including weaves),
perms and spiral perms as
well as updos and facial
waxing.
“I’ve kept up with all the
styles over the years,” she
said.
Chapman helped style
hair for several generations
of a family for a wedding
last year, she said, and she
also styles hair for proms.
In her work, seeing the be-
fore-and-after difference is
satisfying, she said, adding
she especially enjoys color-
ing hair.
The six months of retire-
ment is the longest she’s
been away from hairstyling,
and she said she’s glad to be
back at it.
“I like the people here,”
she said. “It’s a friendly
place. I’m looking forward
to meeting the people of
Grant County.”
Chapman said she wants
to offer a peaceful relaxing
place for her clients.
“If they want, they can
stop by and have a cup of
coffee,” she said. “I like how
people become a part of your
family.”
Cutting Edge Hair Salon
is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and
additional times by appoint-
ment, Wednesdays through
Saturdays. Walk-ins are wel-
come.
In mid-May, she plans
to increase the days open to
Mondays through Saturdays.
To contact Chapman for
an appointment, call 541-
575-1097. Chapman shares
a space with nail techni-
cian Tasha Marciel, who
works evenings and week-
ends with an established
clientele.

Rough winter means fewer hunting tags for deer, pronghorn
By George Plaven
EO Media Group
Local hunters may face lon-
ger odds this year drawing a
deer or pronghorn tag in north-
east Oregon after the animals
struggled through a particularly
harsh winter.
The Oregon Department of
Fish & Wildlife has announced
2017 emergency tag reductions
for buck deer, antlerless deer
and pronghorn primarily af-
fecting hunting units in Baker,
Union and northern Malheur
counties.
Just half of the usual buck
and pronghorn tags will be
available in Baker County, and
two doe hunts scheduled on
agricultural lands — one in the
Sumpter Unit and one in the
Keating Unit — were canceled
entirely.
Tags were also reduced by
35 percent across Union Coun-
ty, along with 40 percent in the
Beulah Unit and 25 percent in
the Owyhee Unit.
Brian Ratliff, ODFW dis-
trict wildlife biologist in Baker
City, said there are still hunting
opportunities though it may be
difficult for hunters to draw a
tag they are used to drawing
with fewer preference points.
“As the populations grow
again, we can move our tags
back in an upward direction,”
Ratliff said.
The tag reductions are based
on early spring flight surveys,
which show how winter took a
toll on mule deer. Fawn ratios
are down considerably, Ratliff
said, with some units as low
as eight fawns per 100 adults.
Spring surveys typically show
fawn counts in the mid-30s per
100 adults, he said.
What’s more, Ratliff said
Baker County lost 32 percent of
adult radio-collared does. The
average for the Blue Mountains
is 8 percent.
“That’s really concerning,”
he said.
Wildlife officials feared this
kind of mortality earlier in the
winter, when temperatures in
Baker County dipped as low
as minus-28 degrees and failed
to rise above freezing for 28
consecutive days. Snow depth
exceeded 18 inches in some ar-
eas, including lower elevations
where deer and elk usually mi-
grate for winter forage.
Ratliff said it was the worst
winter for wildlife in more than
20 years.
“The deer went as low as
they could possibly go,” Rat-
liff said. “I saw them in plac-
es I’d never seen them before.
But there was no forage for
them that wasn’t covered by
snow and it was just really
tough on fawns.”
Elk, however, seemed to
fare better due to their larger
size. Ratliff said elk are able
to generate more body heat
with less energy, and can break
through hard, crusty snow eas-
ier than smaller ungulates like
deer and pronghorn.
Though Ratliff said they
did have some elk mortal-
ity, it was not significant
and ODFW will not be
reducing elk tags come fall.
Brian Laughlin, acting as-
sistant district wildlife biolo-
gist for ODFW in Pendleton,
said the Umatilla District was
not as severely affected by
winter and does not anticipate
any reductions in big game
tags.
“We definitely had a hard
winter,” Laughlin said. “But
we didn’t have 28 days straight
with below-freezing tempera-
tures.”
The district, which includes
the Walla Walla, West Mount
Emily, Ukiah and Columbia
Basin units, should see deer
and elk numbers comparable to
previous years, Laughlin said.
“Looking at those num-
bers, we do not see a dras-
tic change in this year’s
spring
(survey)
flights
compared to last,” he said.
Across the Blue Mountains,
Ratliff said hunters can expect
to see fewer deer on the land-
scape this fall, especially year-
ling animals such as spikes and
2-point bucks. Those age class-
es made up about 33 percent of
Baker County’s total harvest
last year.
By reducing tags now, Rat-
liff said they can allow those
populations to recover and get
back ahead of the game.
“This way, we can get un-
derneath it,” he said.
Hunters who applied for one
of the affected hunts have until
June 1 to change their choice
for free. A unit-by-unit look at
available tags can also be found
online at www.dfw.state.or.us.
