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.

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

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.
