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.

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. Donated space would be
tax deductible.

Have jobs around the house you
never seem to get to, probably
because you just don’t like them?
Then the annual FFA slave auction
this Thursday night might be just
what you need.
Beginning at 7 p.m. in the Hepp
ner High School cafetorium you can
bid on a young hardworking slave to
do all those “ can’t get to” jobs
you’ve been putting off.
Check out some of these slaves to
be put on the block: “ Wild” Bill
Looney the fastest fence builder this
side of the Mississippi. Or how
about “ Sweatin’’ Brett McDowell (3
gals an hour says the sale order). Or
maybe
you
need
Kathy
“ Marvelous” Martin. Her work is
magnificent.
These and 34 other slaves will go
to the highest bidder Thursday night,
and all agree to eight hours of work
for the buyer. There will be door
prizes and refreshments to entertain
bidders, and don’t forget that pro
ceeds from the auction go toward
helping the local FFA chapter.
Soil and water stewardship
week April 2 8 to M ay 5
Suggesting that everyone can help
care for our earth’s environment by
looking for things to do right outside
their doorway, the Morrow Soil and
Water Conservation District is en
couraging local churches, organiza
tions and individuals to join the na
tionwide observance of Soil and
Water Stewardship Week, April
28-May 5, 1991.
The local conservation district,
which works throughout the year on
soil and water conservation
m easures, is providing color
literature that highlights humanity's
responsibility to be active stewards
of our nations's soil and water
resources. The local district is one
of nearly 3000 conservation districts
nationwide that work with the Na
tional Association of Conservation
Districts to encourage greater
resource stewardship through the an
nual week-long observance.
Joe Rietmann, chairman of the
Morrow SWCD. said he hopes
Stewardship Week will help in
dividuals realize that their own ac
tions (good or bad) will reap results,
(good or bad) on the environment.
“ By taking positive environmental
steps — as simple as planting a tree
or reducing pesticide use-every per
son can be a sower, not just in the
fields where food and fiber crops are
grown, but in the broader fields of
life,”
Materials especially designed to
convey the 1991 theme. “ As You
Sow," are being distributed by the
Morrow SWCD and may be obtain-
ed by calling or visiting the district
office during business hours at the
Pettyjohn Building, 730 Heppner
Lexington Highway or by calling
676-5452.
