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 .

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. On
Friday evening, 5-7 p.m., Mrs.
O ’Reilley’s Stew is served in the
dining room by members o f the
U n ite d M e th o d ist C h u rch

1 p.m., and from 2-4 p.m., a
hearty Irish potato soup, with
salad and pie. No serving is done
during the parade (1-2 p.m.).
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
