:
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.”

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. We are not completely knowledgeable of all quilts
but our group has various skills and putting them together can solve
numerous problems. We would love to know your quilting problems-and
you We will not cut, sew or rip until we have your OK.
Al.o Monday: Heppner Garden Club meets in the front room at 6:30
p.m. and Blue Mt. Community College Knitting Class in the dining room
at 7 p.m.
Wednesday: free blood pressure check before noon dinner. Dinner menu:
meat loaf, baked potato, carrot a id cabbage slaw, hot rolls, and applesauce
cake. The helpers will be froir St. Patrick’s Catholic Church. Nutrition
Site Committee meets at 1 p .u . in the office. The new chalkboard there
will greatly facilitate the ir.uny committee meeti igs held in this office.
Sunday, April 8-the monthly potluck and games party beginning at 4 p.m.
