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.”
