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. Ex
perienced painters Dave
Ferguson and Terry Lightle as
well as Forest Service volun
teers will be on hand. Addi
tional bodies with brushes,
paint rollers and energy are
welcome. Don't let the heights
scare you, the more experienc
ed wiil handle that. Lunch will
be provided by Central Red
Apple. More and more visitors
are calling the Chamber for
overnight accommodations and
the Penland House Bed &
Breakfast is a great asset to the
community. If 9 a.m. is too ear
ly stop by anytime Sunday to
lend relief to the crew.
It has been brought to our at
tention that the DMV Field Ser
vices manager is recommen
ding that Heppner's Dept, of
Motor Vehicles Office hours be
reduced from two days to one
day. We would encourage
everyone who will be inconve
nienced by this situation to
write letters to Jim Hunter,
DMV Field Services Manager,
1905 Lana Ave., NE., Salem,
OR 97314. For further informa
tion contact the city of Hepp
ner or the Chamber of Com
merce. Voices count.
Next week: Chamber's pro
gram will be the Morrow Coun
ty Extension service.
Thought for the week: "Hap
piness is not a state to arrive at,
but a manner of traveling".

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.
