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.

the supper and program, where 12
people will be awarded their 25-year

and have maintained themselves
through productivity, Krein said. “ I
don’t think there are more deer in
this area than in 1977, but it’s a case
of distribution.”
People blame increased hunting
pressure and environmental changes
in mountainous areas, but the past
two very-dry years have pushed the
deer into areas where there is an
abundance of feed, and the Conser
vation Reserve Program has provid
ed a haven for the deer he said.
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.
