Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, May 5 ,1 9 9 9 - THREE
Mushroom permits now available Changes recommended to hunting tag numbers
Spring is slowly finding its
way back to the Blue Mountains,
and with it comes the morel
mushrooms and those who
harvest them.
Commercial mushroom permits
are now available for the 1999
mushroom season and may be
purchased at any office on the
Umatilla, Malheur or Wallowa-
Whitman National Forest.
Commercial permits are
required for anyone planning to
sell, harvest, possess or transport
more than one gallon of
mushrooms in Oregon or three
gallons in Washington.
Commercial permits can be
purchased for $2 per consecutive
day ($10 - for a five consecutive
day minimum permit) or $50
annually. Permits are valid on
all three Blue Mountain National
Forests (Umatilla, Wallowa-
Whitman and Malheur). People
wishing to harvest incidental
amounts of mushrooms are not
required to obtain a permit.
Incidental amounts are defined
to be consistent with state laws
(less than one gallon
of
mushrooms in Oregon or three
gallons in Washington).
This year, the 60,650 acre
Tower Fire area southeast of
Ukiah will
be closed
to
com m ercial
m ushroom
harvesting. This closure is due
to the 9th Circuit Court Decision
to halt all ground disturbing
activities, within the Tower Fire
area, pending the completion of
the
Environmental
Impact
Statement scheduled for later
this fall. Incidental mushroom
picking (less than one gallon in
your possession in the state of
Oregon) is considered a
recreational activity and will be
allowed. Commercial mushroom
harvesters are also required to
obtain an industrial camping
permit if they plan to camp on
national forest lands. Industrial
camping permits are free of
charge and allow Forest Service
officials to monitor commercial
use within the forest and to
prevent commercial use in
campgrounds.
A "designated industrial
camping area" will be set up
specifically for all commercial
mushroom harvesters who camp
on the North Fork John Day
Ranger District. The designated
industrial camp area will help
reduce resource damage while
providing sanitary services, such
as dumpsters and portable
toilets, said a Umatilla National
Forest news release.
For more specific information
about
mushroom
permits,
contact the nearest Forest
Service office.
HES site council hears
concerns about head lice
The Heppner Elementary Site
Council, at their April 14 meeting,
heard a concern about head lice
in the school. A reminder was
given for students not to share
combs or wear other people ’ s hats.
Some suggestions were brought
forward, such as issuing plastic
pull tie bags for students in which
to keep their coats, hats and other
clothing items to be hung on their
hooks in the classroom. Another
suggestion was to do mass checks
of all students prior to the Christ
mas and spring breaks. The school
furnishes shampoo for all mem
bers and recommends shampoo
ing and combing by the parent
prior to reinstatement of the child.
The site council decided to check
into this problem further.
The site council looked over the
parent/guardian, student and
teacher surveys that will be sent
out this spring. By sending them
out in the spring, the council felt
that a more accurate picture could
be drawn. December 1 will be the
deadline for the entire School Im
provement Plan.
Members present were Jannie
Allen, Kay Chinen, Robanai Dis-
que, Sharon Morris, Jean Strange,
Bill Karwacki, Karen Clough,
Kelly Boyer, Kathy Cutsforth and
guest Janice Huddleston.
The next site council meeting
was held Monday, May 3.
Youth receives first communion
ODFW biologists in northeast
Oregon have recommended
changes in tag numbers for some
1999 hunts. The recommended
changes would cancel an
antlerless rifle deer hunt and
reduce the number of tags
available for several different
elk hunts. In addition, based on
direction received from director
Jim Greer, tag numbers have
been adjusted so there will be no
zeroed hunts for those species
where preference points apply
(deer, elk and pronghorn).
"These recommendation will
not take effect until the Oregon
Fish and Commission meets in
early June," explained Craig Ely,
acting director of the Northeast
Region. "The commission will
make the final decision on hunts
and tags offered after hearing
recommendations from the big
game staff, the hunting public,
and landowners."
If adopted, the proposals would
significantly
increase
or
decrease the number of tags
available for some hunts. For
instance - hunt number 247 in
the Northside Unit for antlerless
elk is shown in this year’s big
game regulations synopsis as
having 200 tags in 1998 and 358
applicants. A prospective hunter

Our sons shall not be taken

The Morrow County
Commission on Children &
Families is seeking community
development proposals for the
July-October 1999 quarter.

into
services,
advocacy and unique application
projects for the children, youth
and families of Morrow County.
The commission is seeking
new proposals for the upcoming
quarter. There is approximately
$1,500 available this quarter and

As men have often forsaken
the plough and the anvil at the
summons of war, let women
now leave all that may be left of
home for a great and earnest day
of counsel.
Let them meet first, as women,
to bewail and commemorate the
dead.
Let them solemnly take
counsel with each other as to the
means whereby the great human
family can live in peace, each
bearing after his own time the
sacred impress, not of Caesar,
but of God.
In the name of womanhood
.and humanity, I earnestly ask
that a general congress of
women without limit of
natiqnality, may be appointed
and held at some place deemed
ipost qonyepiila^miit jhe & §lu$
period consistent with i(s
objects, to promote the alliance
of the different nationalities, the
amicable
settlement
of
international questions, the great
and general interests of peace.

"Every spring regional wildlife
biologists meet to discuss new
hunt
proposals
and
tag
recommendations,"
Ely
explained. "We review each unit
and
decide
whether
to
recommend the same number of
tags as the previous year, or
whether an increase or decrease
is warranted based on surveys,
population trends, agricultural
damage and other pertinent
factors. There are slight changes
recommended for many hunts in
northeast Oregon. We have
highlighted only the significant
changes - those that may prompt
a hunter to change their
application.”
Here are the significant
proposed changes in northeast
Oregon for 1999 (Hunt #; Hunt

would think that they had a
50/50 chance of drawing a tag
for this hunt. Based on spring
wildlife surveys, the proposed
number of tags for the 247 hunt
for 1999 is only 25. This would
change the prospective odds of
being drawn from 50/50 to about
one in 14. Hunters who have
applied for this hunt in 1999, or
are considering applying for it,
may* want to reconsider, based
on the new odds.
The deadline for controlled
hunt applications is May 15.
Hunters who have already
applied for their controlled hunts
and who want to change their
application based on this new
information, have until May 31
to make a change to their
application. Changes that can be
made include adding or
subtracting hunt units or party
leaders, changing the order of
hunt units and changing Social
Security or hunter ID numbers.
To make a change to an
application, hunters should make
a copy of their application, write
the desired changes on the copy,
sign it and mail it to ODFW,
