WE P R IV I EIWELOPES Obituaries James Valentine Valby Lutheran The Seder Feast will be celebrated at Valby Lutheran Church in lone on Thursday, April 12, at 6:30 p.m. Those who wish to take part in this celebration are asked to call Sarah Carlson, 422-7245, to reserve space at a table. More than 3000 years ago, the people o f Israel fled Egypt. This event is remembered as the Passover o f which the Seder Feast is a part of. This is not only a way to to teach the story o f the Exodus and rem em brance o f this time, but a delicious way as well. The Seder Feast allows the participants to experience the hardships o f the people o f Israel and liberation through a 15-step meal. A script called the "Hagadah" is used to guide the participants through the 10 plagues and eventual liberation and escape from Egypt. The items on the Seder plate provoke questions from children that com m and answers from the adults. In this way, the traditions o f the Seder and history o f the Passover are passed from one generation to the next. The script makes use o f the most patriarchal person present at the table as a "leader", and has a supnse in store for even the youngest child at the table, said a new s release. For the Christian, the Seder Feast and celebration o f Passover has special significance. It was on the night o f the Seder Feast, that Jesus Christ was betrayed and arrested. Jesus ate the Seder meal with his disciples in the upper room before his arrest. It was at this meal, that Jesus revealed the identity o f his betrayer and imminent death to his disciples. It was after the Seder meal, that Jesus taught his disciples communion as a way to remember Him and his ultimate sacrifice for us. Crane fly larvae found in Morrow County From the Ag News Loren Unruh and Chris Rauch recently discovered some funny looking worms in an annual crop, no till wheat field (previously enrolled in the CRP) located about 10 miles north o f Lexington. These worms were sent to the Hermiston Agricultural Research Center and to Corvallis for identification. The worms were identified as the larval stage o f the European Crane Fly. Unruh and Rauch found about 12 o f these "worms" in a three-foot- square area. Additional scouting efforts were conducted at eight different locations in an adjacent field. One worm was found in a one-foot-square area at three o f the eight sam pling locations. These insects are usually found in turfgrass west o f the Cascades. They like damp environments. There are, however, grassland species and some can even be found in deserts. They feed on decomposing vegetation. Some species feed on roots. A publication from WSU ( h ttp ://w h a tc o m .w s u .e d u /a g / h o m e h o rt/p e s t/c ra n e fly .h tm ) indicates lawns can withstand a large population o f crane flies and that treatments have traditionally been recom m ended when populations equal 25 to 50 larvae/ft2. Can the Crane Fly do damage to wheat or barley? We don't know at this point. Hopefully we will learn more in the near future. The larvae o f Crane Flies look like gray or grayish-white worms that are about an inch long. Some may be longer. Adults are reddish- brown flies that look like a giant mosquito.

Bill would benefit local business Representative Greg Smith (R Heppner) testified recently on behall o f House Bill 2842 that he introduced at the request o f Phil Carlson, co-owner o f Treo Ranches, Inc., Heppner, who initiated the bill. Smith told the G azette-Tim es that the bill would ease regulations on hunting preserves. It would allow the preserve operator to package the bird, accom panied by a tranm ission slip, previously, the head had to be left on the bird; the birds would also not be required to have a clipped foot; and preserves would no longer be required to use a special tag, which was expensive, but could rather use a regular poultry tags. Other changes in the bill would give hunting preserve owners notice o f state inspections and would also give them a period o f time in which to make corrections. Previously, said Smith, the state could come in without notice and could shut the preserve down on the first notice. Smith says he is not only pleased with the unanimous passage o f the bill but also with the initiative taken by Carlson. "The reason folks send me here is to represent them and their needs. M y jo b is only made better when good citizens like Mr. Carlson voice their needs," Smith said. According to Smith, Carlson is satisfied with the passage o f his bill out o f com m ittee and is looking forward to its passage on the House and Senate Floor in the next few months. "Rep. Smith sure stepped up and delivered for our agriculturally based small business," Carlson commented. "Without his assistance, we would have continued to be over-regulated by the State o f Oregon." Smith represents Baker, Crook, Grant, Gilliam, Sherman, Walker, and portions o f Morrow and Wasco counties. We Print B U S IN E S S CARDS Heppner (ìasette- Tim es
