FOUR • Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, May 24, 2000 Deer, elk hunters to comment that time. Canyon Creek was the only designated archery hunting area west of the Mississippi River. Many early day archery hunting pioneers hunted in the area, including Fred Bear and Howard Hill. The area was opened to rifle deer hunting in 1990. In 1999 the commission was asked to reestablish the area and the archery-only deer hunt by the Canyon Creek Bow Hunters. The commission directed ODFW to publicize the proposal and bring the results to the June 2000 commission meeting, where the* matter will be decided. "So far we've only had four comments," said John Day District biologist Craig Foster. "I think the commission would like to hear from a larger cross-section of the interested public before making their decision." For additional information about the proposal, interested persons should contact Shaun Robertson, at P.O. Box 242, John Day. OR 97845; (541) 575-2211. Comments intended for the Commission should be sent to Craig Foster, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, P.O. Box 9, John Day, OR 97845; (541) 575- 1167. Comments should reach Foster by June 7. The Commission meeting is June 9- 10, at ODFW headquarters, 2501 SW First Avenue in Portland. Deer and elk hunters are being asked to comment on a proposal to reinstate a historic archery hunt in a portion of eastern Oregon's Strawberry Mountain Wilderness. The Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission will make a decision at its June meeting in Portland whether to adopt a proposal by the Canyon Creek Bow Hunters, an archery group headquartered in John Day. The proposal would reinstate the former Canyon Creek Archery Area, an area of some 35 square miles within the 1,150 square mile Murderers Creek wildlife management unit. The proposal would not allow rifle hunting for deer within the Canyon Creek Archery Area; deer hunting would be permitted for archers only. In addition, a 10-day extended archery season for both deer and elk would be added at the end of the normal archery season, but weapons would be limited to traditional bows (long bow or recurve) only during this season. Tags would be drawn for these hunts through the controlled hunt process. Elk hunting by rifle and muzzleloader would not be affected. The Canyon Creek Archery Area was established by the Oregon Legislature in 1935. At Rev. Hebert celebrates 40th anniversary of his ordination St. Patrick's parish honored Rev. Francis Hebert on the 40th anniversary of his ordination into the priesthood with a reception on May 21. Rather than being a direct route, the journey described by Fr. Hebert to becoming and working as a priest has held some twists and turns. Bom in Custer, South Dakota, Hebert moved to Hailey, Idaho, in 1939. He worked in the mines for $7 a day. When he was drafted into the -Army for a four- and-a half-year duty, hdlook the drastic drop to a salary of $21 a month. From army life, Hebert settled in Camp Five for a short employment with Kinzua Mill but then moved back into mining in Washington. A priest apparently saw the priestly potential of the young miner, for he arranged for Hebert to attend a Latin school in Benet Lake, Wisconsin. During that one year-plus association, Francis was told that he was suited for work as a "lay brother," so off he went for some education in Pennsylvania. Not inspired, Francis soon returned home in Hailey. His life was to take another turn back toward the priesthood, however, when a local priest signed him up at a xat. * .nei-- ■ Corinne (greenhouse (Bedding (Plants F lo w e r s V e g e ta b le s H erbs Fuller Canyon Lane Perennials & seminary near Seattle. Francis A. Hebert was ordained a Catholic priest in Boise, Idaho, and he said his first mass in Hailey on May 21, 1960. He worked in Idaho parishes, including Bonners Ferry and Soda Springs, until his 1976 heart attack. In January of 1977, he underwent bypass surgery. Recovery from the surgery was slow and Hebert resumed his work as chaplain of a Jerome, Idaho, Catholic hospital, rather than with a parish. He- retired in 19pji i i -•••••q / i. jil «• Fr. Hebert's sister, Camille Sample, was a widow who lived in Heppner at that time. Hebert informed her that he "was moving in." Until recently, he divided his time in Heppner with six months' living in Yuma, Arizona, each year. In his early time there, his availability enabled the locals to start their own parish, which has now grown to a winter congregation of 1800 last year. Fr. Hebert remains "retired." Members of St. Patrick Church, however, know that he is far from retired and plays a critical role as assistant to Fr. Gerry Condon. He also journeys to LaGrande when needed there as a substitute priest.
