Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, May 30, 2001 - THREE Heppner boys and girls hold combined meet lone High School has 2001 commencement Scholarships and awards will be published in next week's Gazette. photo by Jen McElligott ' The lone class of 2001 Controlled hunt tags to go on sale Controlled big game hunts that received fewer applicants than the number of tags available will go on sale July 1 and be sold on a first come first serve basis at license agents around the state. This is the first year that the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife will not hold a "second chance draw" for these leftover tags. Leftover tags are those that were not applied for by the May 15 controlled hunt application deadline. The hunts are often less desirable because they require landowner permission, access is difficult or supply exceeded the demand. For example, if 1,000 tags are authorized for a particular hunt and only 800 tags are applied for and drawn, then 200 tags would be available on July 1. However, ODFW staff expects the tags available in this new opportunity will be sold out quickly. Nancy Foley, who trains license agents and serves as an information resource, said many hunters believe the leftover tag sales will give them access to better hunts. "We have photo by Jeri McElligott heard of hunters planning to camp out in store parking lots on June Allison Halvorsen, lone High School Class of 2001, receives her 30, but we think they will be tired diploma from Morrow County School board member John Rietman. and disappointed when they see the tags that will be available for sale," Foley said. "These are not 'next in line' tags." In the past, ODFW called hunters who were unsuccessful in the draw to ask them if they would be interested in purchasing tags that were drawn, but not sold by a mid summer tag sale deadline. Now, hunters have until the day before the hunt begins to purchase their tags. To compensate for this change, ODFW inflated the number of tags available for each hunt by the hunt's average percentage of unsold tags. The Oregon Legislature directed ODFW to make under-subscribed tags available as a second tag opportunity on a first come, first serve basis. Hunters who were successful in the draw and purchased the controlled tag have the choice of purchasing a second tag for the same type of hunt. In addition, hunters who did not draw a Proud Heppner High School 2001 graduates Marissa McCabe and controlled hunt tag or purchased Joe Papineau proceed into the gym to commencement ceremonies at a general season tag can buy an Heppner High School May 26.

Fiddlers to compete in Enterprise Fiddlers of all ages will converg. on Enterprise in the northeast comer of Oregon for the 32nd annua! competition in traditional old-time 1 fiddling in on June 8-9 at Cloverleaf Hall in Enterprise. Most of the contestants come from the Northwest, but the contest is open to fiddlers from any state. Fifty trophies and $810 in cash prizes will be awarded over the two- day contest. Contestants must register before 7 p.m. Friday, and before 1 p.m. Saturday. Dinner will be available at the hall both Friday and Saturday and lunch will be available on Saturday. Charles Trump, director of the contest, plans to compete in both the Wallowa County and Championship divisions where he was defeated last year for the first time in recent memory. Trump, who has been fiddling for 75 years now, still has his first fiddle given to him at age eight. Like most of the old-time fiddlers, he has no formal training; only the skills learned from hand-me-down music played by his mother, several of his uncles and friends. Those youngsters (anyone under 70) who will be competing again in their respective categories include Jared Zwanziger, Grace Donovan, Hugh Donovan, Mel Byers and Willie Carter, among others.

We Make POSTERS St. P a tric k 's S e n io r C e n te r BU LL E TIN BOARD gSUft By Liz Straley - - .... — First I would like to make a retraction for a statement I made in error about the photo album of past and present residents. It seems that for the past two weeks Jane Rawlins has been working on making the senior center scrapbook up to date with newspaper clippings and photographs of important events and Velma Wight has added pictures that she has taken the past two years ago I’m sorry for the error and many "thanks for the input." It was a very quiet weekend. Exercise class was on Tuesday morning. Judy Rickert dropped off some puppies (Heinz 57?) for Archie Padberg; we hope he is prepared with plenty of newspapers. There was a table of card players with the usual coffee and goodies served. Resident Mabel Heath is back from a trip with her daughter and Daisy Collins is back from Eugene for a visit to see her granddaughter in a play, an original comedy, "Audition". There were 100 diners and takeouts on Wednesday. The meal site was served by Barbara Struthers, Winnie Flynn, Gwen Healy, Bernice Lott and Garett Huddleston from St. Patrick's Catholic Church. Bud says, Shorty’s Sears must be maintained. A car sold by Sears was the "All State". He also hopes that the agricultural museum here in Heppner is in better shape and that some of the young people interested in antique cars and farm machinery would make it a summer project. On the recovery list we hope are Millie Hurtt from pneumonia and Mary Goheen from cataract surgery on Friday. Our congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Paul Jones on their 50th wedding anniversary. Everyone was invited to the Christian Life Center for a reception on May 26. J.J. is a RSVP volunteer at the center. "Come along with me, the best is yet to come." Also, best wishes to Irene Swanson, going strong at 91, and Alice Wagner, doing well at 82, this month. Both are past residents of the center for years. Exercise class was held on Thursday morning. Bulletins were folded for the Extension Service for one hour to get ready to mail out. Lunch was chicken fettucini with salad, cherry pie, ice cream and beverage. The movie in the afternoon was the old classic, "The Black Stallion". The bingo bus driver was Bill Rowell, and according to Velma Wight, the bingo bus master. There were 12 passengers, some winners and losers, but a good time was had by all. They plan to have a "bingo bus" about two times each month, so save your nickels and dimes. On Friday morning, more bulletins (4-H) were folded and ready to mail out for the Extension Service. There were two card tables of players with the coffee pot on and cookies. Marion Mercheson's brother, up for a short visit, was the brave male player to join us. The Memorial dinner on Sunday, May 27 was a catered affair. The tables were suitably done with white tablecloths decorated with vases with American flags, poppy streamers and accents, created by Joanne Burleson, Chuck Bailey and Peggy Connor. It was very appropriate for the day. The "ballpark figure" head count of diners was 120. which may be subject to change when the tickets are added up later in the day by the committee. The welcome speech was given by Mayor Bob Jepsen who also enlightened everyone about the repair work going on at the cemetery The work should be completed in two years' time for the centennial observation of the flood. Plans for the centennial are on the drawing board " ‘ "»nv huH1 *• b«n mi* • The appropriate prayer and blessing was given by Rev. Craig Strobel of the Methodist Church.

Jean Nelson from the Morrow County Historical Society donated $ 150 towards this dinner. Diners and visitors included Sylvia McDaniel's daughter from Lake Oswego, Marion Mercheson and Evelyn Wagoner, friends Florence Davidson and Jeanette Bauon from LaGrande. The oldest diner was Sylvia McDaniel at 89 years old. The person coming the furthest was Sara Gorham from Paradise, Calif., a friend of Tom Wilson’s, and the largest family of diners (12) was the J O. Hager family from Irrigon. Jan Evans was the prize recipient. All-in-all, the food was delicious and the leftover food put up for sale to many buyers. The people were friendly and congenial and if you went away hungry, it was your own fault. Hope they do it again next year! The menu for Wednesday, May 30, was stuffed baked potatoes, macaroni salad, broccoli and cheese, coleslaw, breadsticks, brownies and beverages. T O O L S - Ik - U S !
