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

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

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

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.

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 " ‘

The appropriate prayer and blessing was given by Rev. Craig Strobel
of the Methodist Church. The food was delicious and plentiful, served
by volunteers who were: coffee servers-Tom Wilson, Sarah Gorham,
Ginger Keithley, Fome and Gail Burkenbme; punch and water servers-
Kathenne Hoskins, Myrtle McMillan, Anna Schwarzin and Juanita Ross;
table setters and clean-up-Kathy Jones, Shirley George. Kari Keown
and Nancy McElhany; flags donated by-Joanne Burleson and poppies
by-Judy Rickert; kitchen supervision-HowardGilliam; publicity-Archie
Padberg; cashiers-Mary Goheen and Jeanette Padberg; food servers-Joe
Burleson, Peggy Connor, Chris Burkenbme and Ruth Donohoe. Greeter
and door hostess was Velma Wight.
The food and meat, prepared by Central Market, included fresh fruit
salad, potato salad, baked beans, sliced ham and turkey. Corol Mitchell
made the fruit cobbler and ice cream was provided by Central Market.
Clean-up was provided by Becky- Breazeale and floating help was

provided by Archie Padberg, Jeanette Padberg and Juanita Ross. 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.
