TWO - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner. Oregon Wednesday, February 20, 1991 Ranger district plans largest prescribed burn Blue and Gold banquet Sunday The Heppner Ranger District of the Umatilla National Forest will have the largest prescribed burning program evern initiated on the District during the spring of 1991. Prescribed burning in regeneration harvest units will be conducted on 30 separate clearcut and shelterwood areas distributed throughout the district. The purpose of burning is to reduce the fire hazard and prepare the areas for planting of tree seedlings. An additional 10,800 acres of ’’environmental” burning will be under prescription and ready to bum. This type of burning is con ducted to improve forest health, pro- vide for natural regeneration of tree seedlings, improve big game browse and to remove natural accumulations of fuels from the forest floor. These bums will be of low intensity and will bum with flame lengths from one foot to three feet in length, con suming needles, limbs and dead tree boles. Burning could start as early as late February and continue through the month of May. Locally heavy con centrations of wood smoke can be expected in and adjacent to the in dividual bums but should dissipate quickly. Concerns or questions about the burning program should be directed to Gary Clark, district fuel specialist at 676-5210.

Slugs topic of lone Garden Club meeting “ The Life Cycle of the Slug” was the subject presented by Helen Mar tin at the lone Garden Club February 13 at the home of Phyllis Anderson. Delpha Jones was co-hostess. There are about 40 species of this mollusk in the United States, ten of them in Oregon, said Martin. Most were introduced to the area by be ing brought in on plants from other areas. Slugs like moist areas and are especially damaging to commercial crops such as alfalfa, clover, beans and berries, she said. They pro pagate annually, laying their eggs on the ground or the underside of leaves. They are very tolerant of cold temperatures unless the ground temperature reaches three degrees or less. The slugs can be controlled by chemical, non-chemical or natural means. Non-chemical agents might be water with kerosene in it, beer. or boards placed on the ground where they can collect and then be disposed of. Natural enemies of the slug are raccoons, possums, garter snakes, mallard ducks, banties and starlings. It was reported that lone school had turned in 69 posters for the Woodsey Owl and Smokey Bear contest to Pat Pettyjohn, junior chairman, from the kindergarten through fifth grade classes. Prizes will be presented to the winners in the near future. In other business Leila Palmer said that she is making plans for the club to visit the Pioneer Memorial Nurs ing Home in March. Some members of the club met January 30 and brought the club history books up to date. It was announced that the book ‘ ‘Oxbows and Bare Feet’ ’ was given to the lone and Heppner Libraries by the club. Sheriff cautions business owners Morrow County Sheriff Roy Drago is asking all business owners to look at their business from a dif ferent perspective-the burglars’. Are you helping a burglar break into your place of business? Here’s one way to find out: Stop by your business at night, when it’s closed. Look at it with a burglar’s eyes. Are there shadows to hide you as you try to get in? Would boxes stack ed near the building provide cover? Is a delivery truck or company car parked near the side so you could use it as cover or as a ladder to get in a window or onto the roof? Is there merchandise in the display window, where you could smash, grab and run? Can you see into the far comers of the display room, or could you work at your leisure, un seen by the passerby? Now take a walk around the building. Does a sidewalk grille lead to a basement loading entrance? Is there evidence of a burglar alarm-a door or window sticker or some visi ble wiring? Are hinges on the out- side of the door, so you could remove them and lift the door out? What kind of lock is on the door? Is there a glass panel you could break to reach inside and unlock? Check the door-is it even locked? You could find out all these things without even going into your business. If you came back during business hours, you could do further checking on locks, and the burglar alarm, see where the money is kept, find out when there’s a lot of cash on hand and where valuable mer chandise is displayed. These are all things a would-be burglar looks for. And they are all things that you, as a business owner, must be aware of too. Good crime prevention means making sure your business is unin viting to a burglar, making it hard for him to get inside, making it hard to find or remove valuable items, and making it likely he'll get caught if he does. Remember, says Sheriff Drago, take positive steps towards crime prevention, “ Watch out, help out.” F L A G L A P E L P IN S j ¡ Wear it Proudly Max - Metric Sale Ends Saturday March 2 SIZE Sport Radials PRICE 155 SR 13 155 SR 13 165 SR 13 175/70SR 13 185/70SR 13 195/70SR 14 165 SR 15 36.95 36.95 38.50 42.30 43.90 46.90 42.90 Cooperator Steel belts/poly cond - All Weather - Long Mileage - Premium Tire SIZE PRICE 165/80 R 13 175/80R13 185/80R 13 195/70R14 205/75R 14 225/70R 15 235/70R 15 245/70R 15 Dynamic Sport IV Light Truck - All Weather - Radials SIZE 54.69 56.60 58.85 62.39 65.20 72.99 77.40 79.00 Pace Mark Silver Bullet * 73.04 Big Gun * 58.61 Cenex 600 * 72.70 B50 Amp 58.26 59.98 62.80 62.86 66.13 69.44 73.25 76.69 74.90 79.00 81.00 Qroup 24 12 Volt Group 65 B50 Amp.
