Births Crushed Rock For Sale r Sometimes we hear talk that volunteers seem to be disap pearing, media negatives seem to bombard our thoughts dai ly, we wonder why we don't hear more positive stories and daily happenings create more stress. Then, our faith is renew ed and we are reminded why it is so great to live in Heppner. A phone call this morning from Delanne Ferguson asked that an announcement be made during Chamber regarding a work party at the Penland House Bed & Breakfast on Sun day, Sept. 25 beginning at 9 a.m. to finish painting the historic Victorian home.

Ask your Stato Polk« im By Norm Zeller Recently the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Com mission enacted an emergency Steelhead Regulation on the John Day River and the Walla Walla River. There seems to be some confusion about the wording in the new regulation flyer being distributed pertaining to the John Day River which states the following: John Day River: Tumwater Falls to Cottonwood Bridge, (RM 39.5)-bag limit-two/day, two in possession and 10/year, of which no more than two may he non-adipose clipped. Season: Oct. 1, 1994, through April 15, 1995. Mainstream and tributaries above Cottonwood Bridge-bag limit-two/day, two in possession, two/year. Season: Oct. 1, 1994 through April 15, 1995. Walla Walla River: closed to steelhead angling Dec. 1, 1994-March 31, 1995. Because of the wording "Season: October 1, through April 15, 1994", anglers are asking the question, can I still angle for steelhead on the John Day River prior to October 1, 1994 or do I have to wait until after Oct. 1, 1994. The answer to this ques tion is yes, the regulations setforth in the 1994 angling synopsis are still in effect until October 1, 1994, at which time the new emergency regulations will go into effect. In addition to the new steelhead regulations, the commission also adopted an immediate closure to sport angling for sturgeon on the Columbia River above Bonneville Dam to McNary Dam. However, hook and release will be allowed with the use of barbless hooks. Washington State also adopted this same regulation. As a service to the citizens of this community, the Oregon State Police will occasionaly submit articles of interest in the Gazette- Times. If you should have any questions or topics of interest please submit them to the Gazette-Times or to the Oregon State Police in Heppner. fTj • G H = - o <3 •i^3<=a® wccc Work Day Saturday, Sept. 24 Start at 8 a.m. Bring rakes, shovels, etc. Lunch will be served Justice Court Report The Justice Court office at the courthouse annex building in Heppner reports handling the following business during the past week: Lucas Brandon Givens, 19, Heppner-Careless Driving, $127 fine; Ryan L.
