TW O - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, February 6, 1991 Hospital membership meeting held The annual Pioneer Memorial Hospital membership meeting was held at the hospital meeting room on Jan. 23. During 1990. the hospital founda tion granted $7,057 to the hospital for needed equipment and $2,300 in scholarships to seven Morrow Coun ty students for health care related studies. Larry Mills was elected president, Don Peterson, vice president, Lin da LaRue treasurer, hospital ad ministrator, Ernest Wick executive secretary and Linda Kenny recor ding secretary. The Board of Directors approved the purchase of seven items for the hospital and clinic at an estimated cost of $8,195 for 1991. Scholarship applications will be received and Hunters hear regulations Roger Changes in the proposed 1991 big game hunting regulations were ex plained by district game biologist Bob Krein to a large group of local hunters that gathered at the Heppner Elementary school last week. “ Everybody in Eastern Oregon should have a unit to hunt in,” Krein said. Some hunters who were at this meeting, however, expressed con cerns that because of limited entry proposals local hunters might not receive tags for the areas of first choice. Under the proposed management plan hunters will have to purchase hunting licenses and apply for a deer tag for hunting by April 8. Hunters may select areas of first, second or third choices. “ The process will discourage peo ple that want to hunt by having to fill out forms and pay fees before they are sure of getting a tag to go hun ting,” said Verne Wilson. “ It’s their option to choose whether to make that kind of an in vestment,” Krein said. However he stated that the proposed reduction of deer tags is less than 20 percent of the number of 1989 tags issued. About 106,000 1989 tags were sold in Eastern Oregon and last year there were about 10 to 15 percent tewer tags sold, he said. So the reduction in actually about 10 percent and Krein said they are trying to accom modate as many people as possible. The Heppner unit controlled buck season, September 28 through Oc tober 9, is targeted at 4500 tags. The average number of hunters over the past three-year period for that unit is 5418 per year, and the manage ment strategy for this unit is to main tain 12 bucks per 100 does. Local deer populations are stable considered later in the spring, said a spokesperson. Funds for foundation expenditures are prov ided by earnings of the ac cumulated capital account. This ac count is increased by new member ships, special gifts, memorial gifts and estate bequests. The Hospital foundation is separate entity, independent of government, created and incor porated to give aid and encourage ment to the hospital and health care. “ Persons interested in supporting the Pioneer Memorial Hospital’s ef forts are encouraged to gain membership in the foundation. There are no annual dues, no assessments and a lifetime member ship cost just $5 said the spokesperson.

Elementary students compete in knowledge contest A team of 5th and 6th graders from Heppner Elementary School competed in the 1991 Knowledge Master Open Wednesday, January 30. Because of the semester schedule changes, it was not convenient to use the official January 23 date. Results just received indicate that the Hepp ner team would have placed ninth of 21 teams from Oregon had they competed on the official date, said a school spokesperson. This is the best overall finish for the team, and the group shattered the school record for this age group. Their score was 601 points; previous best was 538. Dave Gunderson was team coach. The group practiced strategy prior to the contest, but had no help with the official questions. To do well, in dividuals must have a great deal of knowledge in several academic areas and be able to quickly apply that knowledge to solve a problem. For example, in less than seven seconds, the students correctly figured the sum of the year in which Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait and the year in which George Bush will probably run for re-election. (That was pro bably the easiest of the 100 questions.) Team members were-fifth grade: Jonas Healy, Bonney Jo Hill and Josh Roy; and from the sixth grade: Josh Coiner, Brian Koffler. Shannon Benjamin, Ann W ick, Brent Gunderson. Rick Worden, Traci Dickenson, Mike Williams and Eric Schonbachler.

Hunters may also apply for 100 special tags to be issued for Morrow and Gilliam Counties. These anterless deer hunts are damage pool hunts usually of five to seven days and they may be held anytime from August 15, 1991 to January 31, 1992. The state’s management plan for the harvest of elk in the Heppner unit is different than in the past. Hunters may apply by April 8 for 2500 tags to be issued for the first half of a split season from October 30 through November 3. In the nearby Fossil unit 400, either sex elk tags will be issued for the same period. The second half of bull elk season targeted for around November 8 through 17 will be non-limited and hunters may purchase tags as usual for the Heppner unit. Management plans for local elk are 10 bulls per 100 cows. But Krein said that while the elk population is somewhat stable there is a low calf recruitment rate. The harvest of older bull elk impacts cow breeding season. He said that younger bulls that reach maturity at a later date can contribute to cows calving at later dates, reducing the survival rate of calves.
