V : Agriculture National Resource Divi sion, to establish a position as con servation information education coordinator Cindi Doherty of Hepp ner was hired to fill that position. Doherty, 32, Heppner, is a long time Morrow County resident. She and her husband, Mike, have three children. A resource guide on conservation information will be compiled and distributed and a self-guided tour will be developed. The tour consists of a brochure that will show the loca tion of various conservation prac tices in Morrow County and explain their purposes. A conservation workshop will be developed for the local teachers. This workshop will focus on conser vation issues in the County. A riparian demonstration project is planned on Willow Creek. The project will demonstrate the impor tance of and benefits from sound riparian management by developing a walkway along the creek with in formational signs and examples of practices. Oral presentations will be made to local schools and groups on SWCD activities or general conservation information. In March an Oregon Youth Con servation Corp. grant for $5,000 was received from Oregon Department of Agriculture, Natural Resource Division. The grant will be used to build a hiking and horse back trail around the south side of the Willow Creek Dam. A grant of $27,000 was also received in March from the Gover nor’s W atershed Enhancement Board for the Rock Creek Watersh ed Enhancement Proposal, West Fork, Juniper Creek. “ The present condition of the watershed is severe streaming ero sion and stream entrenchment," said Doherty. Water quality has declin ed due to increased sedimentation and the diminished capability of the meadows to filter runoff.” The proposed project will consist of a range management plan that will be developed to assist with proper grazing use and a planned grazing system. A one-mile fence will be constructed between LeFevre Prairie and Camas Prairie to delay grazing in the spring. Grass will be seeded on Lee Prairie and the access road will be relocated on LeFevre Prairie and a series of water and sediment control structures will be constructed. “ The goals for the district are educating and informing the public on current soil and water conserva tio n ,” Doherty said. “ With organization and hard work all the goals of the district will be ac complished.” By J a n e Rawlins The St. Patrick’s fun weekend is past but at this center pleasant memories linger. The Methodists’ Irish Stew, the senior breakfast and potato soup, bread, pie feeds were so well attended that the food ran out. Several requests came for copies of the Irish Video tapes in our front room, and Karen Phegley was a happy winner of the Irish quilt. Darrel and Sue Vinson put together our mini-float in the parade. Senator Timms, Velma Wight, Truman Messenger and Tom Wilson rode on it; the Heppner Elementary st1 dents and Susie Hisler made charming leprechauns and original stories that marched around our walls, and many others contributed to the tun. Already, we’re planning for next year. Next week: Our most exciting news beginning Monday, April 2, is that our center will be an area work station for the Retired Senior Volunteer Program (often called RSVP). The purpose of this program is to provide a variety of opportunities for retired persons aged 60 or over to participate more fully in the life of thei community through significant volunteer ser vice. St. Anthony Hospital sponsors this program in Morrow and Umatilla Counties. Funding comes from ACTION, the federal agency on volun tarism and local sources. Our area senior center work station is sponsored by tl.e Heppner Senior Center Board of Directors, Inc. What can this mean to our community? For seniors it means that anyone over 60 who wants to volunteer time for worthwhile community activities may corne to our office and sign up as a volunteer and report their volunteer hours there. Accident, personal liability, and excess auto liability insurance are provided for each registered volunteer. For any person or group needing volunteer help it means they can come in or call the office 676-9030, and describe the activity needed. The only limits are that volunteers will not be assigned to activities of a religious, sectarian, or political nature or those that would displace employed workers or impair existing contracts. When we have the description of the job, we will try to find a volunteer who fits the request. We think this is a good opportunity to serve both seniors and the com munity. More later. Monday, from 1 to 4 p.m.-quilting. Quilters and Company’s next pro ject is an offer to help some of you folks who have an unfinished quilt project, for any reason.
