Elks Club announces contest winners
CRP program announced
Agriculture Secretary Dan
Glickman recently announced fi
nal regulations for USDA’s Con
servation Reserve Program
(CRP), fulfilling a Clinton Admin
istration commitment to redesign
the program to target only the most
environmentally sensitive areas.
“Under the new CRP, we will
protect about 36 million acres of
our most environmentally sensitive
lands,” Glickman said. There are
currently about 33 million acres
enrolled. The three primary goals
of the CRP are erosion reduction,
improvement of water quality and
the enhancement of wildlife habi
tat.
“We have about 105,000 acres
in the current program,” said Skip
Matthews, local Farm Service
Agency county director. “All but
a couple thousand acres were

Heppner Élks #358 has
announced the winners of this
year's "Elks Eye Injury Prevention
Poster Contest"
First place was awarded to Cara
Kennedy who received a $100
savings bond Other winners are
Shanna Rietmann and Lillian
Calvert, both of whom received
$50 savings bonds
The purpose of this contest is to
acquaint students and the general
public about the increasing
frequency of eye injuries to the
youth of our state, said an Elks
Club spokesperson The injuries
are caused by thrown objects,
running with sharp instruments,
explosive objects such as shells or
firecrackers and BB or pellet
guns.
The local Elks, with the assistance
of schools and teachers, are
striving to educate children in the
importance of eye safety. Heppner
Elementary
School
(HES)
principal Bill Karwacki, and HES
teachers. Patricia Hentges and
Mary Haguewood, and Ione
Elementary School (IES) principal
Dick Allen and IES teacher Dean
Robinson helped promoting the
cause
These three winning posters
were sent to Milton -Freewater
Elks for the Northeast District
finals If successful there they will
go on the state finals
Elks Eye chairperson Jay Straley
commended all the students'
efforts in the contest "It was very
difficult to select only three as
every poster submitted was
informative and creative in
describing how to prevent eye
injuries," said Straley. "Every
student did an excellent job."
Solution to skunk odor problem listed
The first warm nights of spring
bring skunks out of their winter
quarters to explore, so many people
and pets get a whiff of their effective
defense mechanism. If we are
fortunate, it's only a whiff
Getting rid of the smell when one's
pet, car or self has become a skunk's
target is a challenge, to say the least.
Opinions differ on whether tomato
juice lessens the odor, or whether our
sensory receptors simply become
exhausted so that we think the odor
has weakened after applying it.
Anyone who has used it will agree it
is unpleasant, and a more effective,
nonstaining alternative would be
good news.
A
chemist,
Paul
Krebaum
developed a formula which is safe,
cheap and effective, but not
particularly marketable due to the
fact it cannot be mixed up long
before its use. Therefore, he shared it
with the public in an issue of
"Chemical and Engineering News":
Mix together one quart of three percent hydrogen peroxide, 1/4 cup
baking soda and one teaspoon liquid soap. The soap breaks down the
oils in the skunk spray, allowing the oxygen released by the reaction
of the other two ingredients to denature the strong-smelling compounds
called thiois. Pets, clothing, etc. should be rinsed well with plain water
afterward.
These ingredients are commonly available at home, except that the
hydrogen peroxide in your medicine cabinet may not be effective.
Three percent hydrogen peroxide is the concentration normally sold in
pharmacies and supermarkets as an antiseptic; however, it does not
have a long shelf life and tends to break down into plain water,
releasing its extra oxygen.
It is wise to replace even unopened bottles every few months so you
have a fresh, effective product on hand, for whatever use.

Engagement
scheduled to expire this October.
The announcement of this new
program will allow those produc

CRP, as well as others farming
erodible lands, an opportunity to
bid for a new ten-year contract."
The CRP signup will run from
March 3-28. For those interested
in more information, there will be
a public meeting on Tuesday,
March 4 at 9 a.m. at St. Patrick’s
Parish Hall in Heppner.
