Changes proposed for refuge hunt The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed changes to the refuge hunt regulations for Cold Springs National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) and McKay Creek NWR. If adopt ed, these changes will become effective this 1995-% hunting season. Proposed changes to the hunt regulations include the following: shell possession limits would be increased to 25 shells while in the field; the refuge would be open from 5 a.m. to one and one-half hours after sunset; and hunting will be permitted on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, Thanks giving Day, Christmas Day and New Year's Day. The change in refuge hunt days is designed to comple ment hunt days on Umatilla NWR and nearby state hunt areas. This will provide increas ed hunting opportunities for local hunters. Other refuge re gulations will remain in effect and hunters should check the refuge hunt leaflet. Public comment concerning the proposed changes should be sent to Umatilla NWR, P.O. Box 700, Umatilla, OR. 97882-0700 by August 31. For more information, contact the Umatilla Refuges Complex at 922-3232. To the Editor: With the recent publicity regarding Mickey Mantle's liver transplant, many people^ are questioning the fairness of the allocation system ‘of donated organs. Did Mickey get his transplant so quickly because he is famous? The system that has been established for the allocation of organs is regulated by a federal ly designated agency, United Network for Organ Sharing, (UNOS). Matching donors with recipients is done through a series of steps involving medical factors and geographic location. UNOS found that organ allocation in the Mantle case was administered proper ly and according to established policy. The process of allocating organs is made more complex by the extreme shortage of donated organs for transplants; currently more than 40,000 people are registered nation wide for a transplant. In Oregon, over 120 people are waiting for a life saving transplant. Because the number of donors is drastically less than needed, pople become deathly ill while they wait. The lack of donors moves individuals up on the list as they lose the bat tle with life. Even though most people favor organ and tissue dona tion, the number of donations have not increased over the past several years. I urge all Oregonians to discuss their decision about donation with their family. Ask your ques tions about fairness of alloca tions and then ask yourself is it fair to let eight people die everyday? One organ and tissue donor can help up to 100 people. Please join us in giving the gift of life. Sign and carry a donor card and most impor tantly, talk with your family.

This year's activities includ ed, but were not limited to, the Pendleton Underground tour, fire safety, life and culture of the Native Americans, forestry skills at Cutsforth Park and a trip to a radio station in Her- miston. A steering committee under the able leadership of director, Lea Calvert, spent several months on the program out line, recruitment of program staff, program budget and grant writing and selection and training of teenage helpers and adult leaders-all of which was volunteer.

The sheep population in the John Day River Canyon cur rently stands at approximately 150 sheep, including approx imately 40 rams, according to Krein. Lamb production, Krein said, has been averaging approx imately 50 lambs per 100 ewes. After watching the habits of the sheep by air and from the ground since 1989, Krein reports that the ODFW has observed: The sheep are normally found in areas not normally us ed by domestic livestock and many of the other wildlife species in the area; A few sheep, mostly rams, are occasionally observed along the upper edges of the canyon; The sheep are infrequently seen along the river and utilize water seeps and springs in the side canyons to the river; Sheep movement downriver is rare, however, three sheep were seen along the Columbia River between Blalock and Philippi canyons. They have since been observed in two locations moving south in the John Day River Canyon. Krein reported that it took the sheep that were released in 1990 about 10 days to locate the sheep that had been planted at Thirtymile earlier. He also noted that the sheep planted at Adobe Point in Sher man County were planted there in an attempt to entice the existing population to cross the river and utilize the vast amount of sheep habitat that exists there. ODFW has observ ed little or no attempts by the sheep to cross the river. The first proposed Big Horn sheep hunt is planned for 19% and will consist of one tag, ac cording to Krein. Krein commended the Rat trays and Seales for their will ingness to work with the Bureau of Land Management and the Department of Fish and Wildlife in allowing the relocation of the Big Horn sheep. Historical Society meets U>Pi M ■ © ® ■ Two Gilliam County ranch couples were honored for their interest and contributions in assisting in the re-establish ment of Big Horn sheep in the John Day River Canyon. Bob Krein, district manager for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) at Heppner, made presentations earlier to John and Wilda Rat tray and to Sam and Darla Seale for allowing the animals on or near their property along the John Day River. I In February 1989, eight ewes, four lambs and two rams were relocated to the Thiry Mile Creek area of the John Day River Canyon from Hart Moun tain. Access to the area was granted by the Rattrays. In December 1990, 11 ewes, two lambs and two rams were relocated to the Horseshoe Bend area of the John Day River from Williams Lake, British Columbia. Access was granted by the Seales. In January this year, 15 ewes, three lambs and three rams were relocated to Adobe Point on the Sherman County side of the John Day River in the Horseshoe Bend area. Access there was granted by Jim and Jewelers 676-9200
