Many of you know that mushroom hunting has been pretty
great recently. What fun - getting out In the mountains,
seeing the flowers and ferns and then bringing home a super
food item, too. Some late spring and early summer I really
want to experience a big, successful mushrooming expedi
tion. This last week though, I have been happy to have
several cookings of fairy-ring champignon that grow In my
front lawn,
It seems that our community Is dividing over the naming
of the dam. Guess 1 may as well put forth my opinion. I feel it
would be good to name the lake behind the dam for former
Judge Oscar Peterson - either Peterson Lake or Oscar
Peterson Lake would please me. When I got to know Oscar
Peterson I came to sincerely admire him. His work for
conservation and the wise use of water resources should be
memorialized. However, I, too, agree that the dam should
slay Willow Creek Dam, with a weak second choice being
Heppner Dam. I am not planning to appear before the county
court to plea for my feeling on this matter.
One of the amusing aspects connected with the building of
the dam, to me, is the fact that many who were so opposed to
its construction now are going to take a look at its progress
every day. They may still be opposed, but they seem to have
become Interested, nevertheless. I really enjoyed engineer
Herb Hessey's talk about the construction details at last
week's Chamber of Commerce lunch.
An aspect of the construction work that I find most exciting
is the visitors and temporary residents who have come here
from so many states and even distant lands, such as the two
bus loads of Korean engineers. Because quite a few of the
non permanent persons patronize the laundromat where I
spend some time each day, I have had the chance to talk with
some of them and to learn about their home locations.
Last week I really was delighted to meet engineering
technician Sinan Chindavat who spent the first twenty years
of his life in Thialand. Suddenly Heppner has become almost
cosmopolitan with various visitors, with the Laotian refugee
family, theThondys, and Sinan and his sons. Of course we all
also enjoy Cathy Jensen from England and Patricia
Campbell from Ireland. I recall that when I applied for a
teaching position here long ago, a school board member told
me that although salaries were lower here than they were
where I had taught, I should feel joy because Heppner was an
"all while community." He couldn't have known how that
bragging turned me off. Skin color has always been, to me,
one of the most minor characteristics of any individual.
Several of the construction men have told me "The main
work here will probably be done by or In next October. "We
will try to finish it before a freeze." So as the crews and their
families move out of town next fall, I wonder If Heppner will
again become the nice, self-centered, little town it was when I
arrived? Having television has helped greatly to expand the
visions of permanent resident, many of whom are not avid
readers, but getting to know folks from other areas is the
most realistic way to expand one's understanding, I think.
Last Thursday I was lucky that through the miracle of TV,
I could hear and see President Reagan speak before the U.N.
General Assembly at the special session on disarmament. He
did a fine Job of delivering his excellent text. His conclusion
"deed?, not words" was forceful. The fine letter from Alice
W. Harper and Cathy Barker in last week's G-T was so
significant. Those two ladies really presented the current,
frightening, world situation well. How I hope the nightmare
of nuclear war can be erased before the nations which have
kept on costructing nuclear weapons somehow get to using
them. As Alice and Cathy wrote, we the people of the earth
must see that the nuclear race is ended before the human
race is ended.
My daughter, Ann Chenhall, who holds her masters degree
in Anthropology from the University of Arizona, has been
invited to participate in an archaelogical exploration at
Irrigon. She will not come for the exploratory digging but will
consider coming if the first crew finds that serious
exploration should continue. When the university contacted
Ann, they asked If she knew where Morrow County, Oregon
is She quickly replied that she visits the county quite
regularly.
This Is reunion and wedding season. Inez Erwin recently
told me about attending her high school reunion at Dixie,
Washington. There were seven In her high school graduation
class and four of them returned on Saturday, June 12. This
was a very special reunion at Dixie because it was the
school's centennial. Four hundred persons attended on
Saturday night along with Inez and her sister. What fun they
had.
Several folks from here attended Kathy Wolff's wedding in
Hillsboro last Saturday; however, I traveled to Jantzen
Beach for the first class reunion where I've been an insider.
It was the 50th reunion of three U.S. Grant High School
classes and was attended by about 500. The beautifully
organized affair was most joyful. I suddenly felt years
younger while visiting with many friends from far away in
time and residence but again close in spirit.
I surely hope many will go to Arlington's Governor Snell
festivities this Saturday. Also be looking forward to the July
11 evening here of a summer AAUW humanities program
featuring dramatist Jane Van Boskirk's presentation of
"Northwest Women."

Firewood permits available
Free use firewood permits
are now available, for those
interesled in gathering fire
wood from the Umatilla
National Forest, it was an
nounced in a news release
from the Umatilla National
Forest office. Pendleton. The
permit authorizes the bearer
to cut and remove up to ten
cords of dead wood for per
sonal use.
Permits can be picked up on
a self-issuing basis, seven
days a week at the Forest
Supervisor's Office in Pendle
ton and at Ranger Stations in,
Dale. Heppner and Ukiah.
Tlfis year there will be two
distinct permits for the forest -one
printed on blue paper for
the northern districts (Walla
Walla and Pomeroy) and the
other a pink colored permit for
the southern districts (Dale.
Heppner and Ukiah). Maps
outlining the areas where the
firewood can be cut will also
be on hand. Those persons
interested should determine
which designated cutting
areas best suit their needs and
then select the approp
riate permit and map(s).'
the news release said.
The permit will need to
be filled out according to the
printed instructions, including
the license number of the
vehicle to be used for hauling
the firewood. The maps are
considered a part of the per
mit. Both the permit and map
must be in the permittee's
possession (in the vehicle on
the dashboard) when cutting
and removing the firewood,
the news release stated.
The permit and maps to
gether specify the conditions
and requirements that apply
to firewood culling. Two sign
ificant changes from previous
years that permittees should
be aware of are (I) cutting
under this years permits is
authorized only from within
the areas designated on the
maps, and (2) firewood must
be cut in lengths of six feet or
less prior to removal from the
forest.
To assist the permittees in
finding the designated cutting
areas, the areas will be posted
with "Firewood Cutting Area"
signs adjacent to the access
roads.
Because of the snow pack in
the higher elevations of the
forest, not all areas having
good opportunities for fire
wood cutting will be shown on
the maps made available a
this time. As the snow melts
and the forest roads dry out,
new maps designating ad
ditional cutting areas will be
prepared and released.
The possibility of the Forest
Service continuing this fire
wood program in future years
partially depends upon all
people following the permit
rules. "We are sure you will
and we hope you have a safe,
productive, and enjoyable
woodcutting experience," the
news release concluded.
Ammonia is a wonder
worker at stain removal. Use
it on any fabrics except
those containing silk or
wool. Moisten the stain
with straight ammonia and
keep it wet until the stain is
gone. Rinse with water.
J " '
row County students, and 23
associate degrees, said a col
lege spokesperson.
Diana Lynn Cutsforth of
Heppner received a Bachelor
of Science - education degree
and Daniel Creamer was
awarded a Bachelor of
Science history degree.
