Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, April 10, 1991 - FIVE PUBLIC NOTICE Noxious weeds appear as Historical Society hears of Indian culture weather warms By Delpha Jones Dave Pranger weed supervisor shows poison hemlock Noxious weeds are beginning to appear as spring and warmer temperatures arrive, says Dave Pranger, noxious weed supervisor. It is important to be able to identify these problem weeds since, as well as being unsightly, they may also be poisonous to humans and livestock, says Pranger. Poison hemlock and yellow star- thistle are a few such weeds where early identification and control may save a trip to the doctor or veterinarian. Other noxious weeds like rush skeletonweed, Canada this tle, and diffuse and Russian knapweed should also receive special attention because of economic losses these weeds present to landowners. The Morrow County Weed Con trol District is charged with assisting landowners in identifying problem areas of noxious weeds as well as helping organize effective control programs. It is also the responsibility of the weed district to enforce the noxious weed laws of the county. For more inform ation or assistance regarding noxious weeds or the county’s weed law stop by the weed district office in Heppner or call the office at 676-5452. Buy a slave Thursday Geri Peck, Barbara Bloods worth, members of the state and local Mor row County Historical Society board of directors, local president Delpha Jones, Umatilla Historical Society president Joy S. Gagin and other of ficers were luncheon guests of Mr. and Mrs. Stanford Hansell on Fri day, April 5. The afternoon was spent visiting with the members of the state board and hearing plans for the future. There is now an Oregon Trail Coor dinating body of five full time peo ple working on the preservation of the Oregon Trail. Plans were discussed for interpretation stations through the eastern part of the state. One will be in Baker City and one on the Indian reservation near Mis sion. Antone Minthom told of the master plan for this which will be on a 600-acre parcel of ground on tribal land with easy access from the freeway. Steve Corey, a member of the Oregon Trail Council, told of PUBLIC NOTICL some of the plans, and the Oregon Trail in general. Doris Rounds told of her extensive collection of Indian artifacts, which include bead work, stone work and basket weaving. Much of this is at the High Desert Museum in Bend. She expressed her wish that some of these articles could be used in teaching Indian culture to students today. The 1855 treaty over salmon fishing was discussed. There will be an area meeting soon at which senator Hatfield will be present to speak on this issue. An tone also spoke a bit about up-dating the Happy Canyon show held dur ing the Pendleton Round-Up, with more facts about the Indian life. Mr. Hansell explained some about his fine collection of bead work, baskets and other Indian articles. A most in structive and interesting day was enjoyed. Sign up now for the annual Mor row County Historical Society trip to Jacksonville, Bend and Portland. Time is getting near. Cancer Society seeks storage The American Cancer Society is looking for a ground floor location in Heppner for storing and dispens ing of its loan items to cancer patients. “ These comfort items and medical equipment have been purchased by local donations and are for use, free, to cancer patients. However, the pre sent upper-floor location, generously donated by Dick Sargent, is diffidult for families and volunteers to load and unload heavy items,” said a spokesperson. Anyone aware of a ground-level storage facility or empty building that would be suitable for this use and that could be donated to the American Cancer Society, should contact Bonna Rae M iller at 676-9613 or Molly Rhea at 676-9133.
