Former OSP trooper’s wife speaks out for public safety By Katie Wall Fran Oswald, wife o f Eric Oswald, a former Oregon S tate P o lic e W ild life Enforcement trooper, believes that citizens o f Oregon need to “get involved and speak up” concerning the cuts made to our state police program. O sw ald’s husband was one o f 129 troopers laid off after M easure 2 8 ’s failure to pass. These lay-offs dropped O SP’s numbers to 446 troopers in the areas o f patrol, fish and wildlife, and criminal troopers, which also includes detectives. These cuts leave OSP understaffed and some areas unprotected. O sw ald is am o n g a group o f OSP workers’ spouses and other concerned citizen who are preparing to rally in Salem, March 6, for attention to public safety. She and others want to urge Oregon’s legislature to make public safety a top priority. At the current time, the le g is la tu re has ta k e n the approach that the passage or failure o f M easure 28 would determine the outcome o f the state police. Oswald believes that the legislature has the money needed to help OSP; it just needs to be appropriated to the right place. Currently, a house bill, HB5075, in the Ways and Means committee could possibly restore jo b s to 40 tro o p ers and 40 forensic scientists. The passage o f this bill is important in restoring some o f the balance taken away by the OSP cuts. Oswald urges citizens concerned about their public safety to contact the legislature, Senator Courtney, the senate president, in particular, and voice y o u r c o n c e rn s ab o u t the decreased protection. Oswald also says to consider aspects such as delayed response time, possible increase in crime, etc., and if you notice any other things, let them also be known. One o f O sw ald’s goals is to remind citizens “that our legislature is not untouchable, they are there to serve the p e o p le .” She says she got involved in making people aware because she decided that she could either sit back and take it, or try to change it and help fix the problem . “ We do have leaders, but we are responsible,” added Oswald. O sw ald’s husband Eric was recently hired by Morrow County S heriff’s Office as a sheriff’s deputy, and Oswald says she is not concerned about her family, but she is concerned about public safety and wants others to be concerned as well. I f yo u have any questions, or would like more information about the rally to Salem on M arch 6, you can contact Fran Oswald at 989- 98 1 1 . O r d e r M a g n e tic D o o r S ig n s H ERE Heppner Gazette 676-922 St. Patrick’s Senior Center is a hub of activities centers on their meal days, out St. Patrick’s Center is a hub o f a variety o f activities. To make a list is to be surprised. This news item is more than a list - it is an open invitation for others to enter into particular community experiences, fun entertaining, informational, celebrative, and more. M ost o f the C e n te r’s activities are not limited to so- called senior citizens, even though, in the creation o f them, their needs and interests were p rim ary in p la n n in g and development. The residents who live in apartments on floors two and three participate freely in what takes place. They also plan and carry out som e th in g s for them selves. The main floor, common room and dining room, are where the public activities take place. The most well known activity is the serving o f the noon meal on Wednesday o f each week. There is no charge for the meal; however, a donation is welcome. What is less known is a lighter meal, less formal, is serv ed on T h u rsd ay noon. Sometimes it consists o f leftovers from Wednesday, and sometimes a hearty soup. On Tuesday and Friday afternoons, tables are set up for card games in the common room, from 1 -4 p.m. Coffee is provided to go with this activity. At 10 a.m. each Tuesday and Thursday m orning an exercise group meets, also in the common room, since a video is often used to guide the participants. A jig-saw puzzle area with table and good light is available at any time, for one or several to work, at the same time. O ne o f the C e n te r’s service activities is folding 4-H newsletters for mailing to their constituents. The residents give their time for this accommodation to the Extension Service. A lso on W ednesday, before meal time, Veda Nave, award winning home health aid, has a spot in the common room to take blood pressures for those who need frequent checks. For this, there is no charge. Bus trip s, using the S e n io r C itiz e n ’s bus are scheduled through the Center office. These trips may be sight seeing, shopping, traveling to special events, visiting other o f town celebrations and other events important to a group o f people. These trips m ust be planned ahead o f time, when busses are not used for other purposes. A sign up sheet is kept at the office. The dining room may be rented by groups or families for c e le b ra tio n s , re c e p tio n s , memorial services, and other activities requiring adequate space. The fees charged for such use include janitorial services ab o v e and b ey o n d the expectation that the room will be left orderly as found. Archie Padberg, member o f the Board of Directors, is the contact person for renting the Center. He has the application forms on which the conditions for renting are made clear and fees agreed on. These are made out in duplicate, and signed by the user. E v ery m eal day (Wednesday), a flea market is available in the foyer to the dining room. The table is called "The Go-fer Table” and is maintained as a money making project for the center. Jewelry, dishes, vases, nick-knacks, books, all the usual variety o f goods are on display during this limited time. In summer months, fresh garden produce is part o f the offering, often. St. P a tric k ’s S en io r Center is a very important place during the weekend ofHeppner’s St. Patrick’s celebration.

The breakfast and lunch are put on by Senior Center participants and friends. All three events are money making projects for the sponsoring organizations, to be sure; however, the over riding purpose is to offer hospitality to the both local people and visitors who come to enjoy the events and activities o f the weekend. Activities are scheduled for the future. One event will occur Sunday, May 25: The Willow Creek Valley Memorial Day Dinner. More information on this event will be forthcoming - mark your calendar.
