Chick’s experience comes from working at the Drive-In in high school and cooking for her own family. She has lived in Heppner for about 25 years, and her husband is also from Heppner.

Main • Heppner 676-9426 A landscape plant, Euphorbia myrsinites L., or com m only know n as Creeping spurge, Donkey tail or M yrtle spurge is becoming a concern in our area. The plant’s origin is the M editerranean region to Iran. It is a p eren n ial succulent growing up to 15 inches tall with a 12-inch spread and propagates by seed or division of the plant. The plant has sulfur yellow flowers in the spring and is used as ground cover. One concern with the plant is that it is slightly toxic and the sap can be very irritating, producing blisters on the skin. “A local young man has the scars to prove it,” stated a Weed Advisory Board m em ber. W hen working around the plant, gloves should be worn. Another concern is that in some areas of the country, it has escaped from cultivation and is considered a noxious w eed. It is becom ing a problem in Grant County and reportedly its sale is fo rbidden in Colorado. The Morrow County Weed A dvisory Board encourages gardeners to research plan ts b efo re purchasing and adding them to your landscape. 1RS PROBLEMS? • Haven’t filed fo r ... years? • Lost records? • Liens - Levies - Garnishments? • Negotiate settlements. • Prepare offer in Compromise.

Thank you! r * DEQ Water Quality Monitoring Scheduled for John Day River Mainstem and South Fork Drainage State of Oregon The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is commencing the early stages of monitoring to assess water quality along the mainstem of the John Day River and in the South Fork drainage. DEQ has attended several local meetings and met with County Commissioners. Watershed Councils, Soil and Water Conservation Districts and others to build upon past and ongoing watershed efforts and to encourage public involvement. The assessment includes development of Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs), a tool that identifies whether there is excess heat, sediment and other constituents that can be addressed through local planning processes, and what's already working to enhance water quality. The TMDL will incorporate stream monitoring throughout the basin, in part through the use of in-stream sensors to capture summer heating. • Instream temperature recording devices will be located primarily on public lands (BLM, State, and City). In the few instances where potential sites are on private property, voluntary written permission will be obtained or the site will be re-located. • Temperature sensors will be deployed over the next 2-3 weeks to capture peak summer heating. • Some field measurements will be taken as well (dissolved oxygen, pH, vegetation characteristics, flow). The temperature recorders will be checked monthly and left instream for roughly 3 months. • This effort is coordinated with other monitoring in the Basin (OSU, US Bureau of R eclam ation, US Bureau of Land Management, the US Forest Service and Tribes). • Another phase will consist of vegetation and channel measurements. Basin wide - tentatively scheduled for September of this year. • Landowners are encouraged to ask questions and/or participate in the monitoring. Comments or questions may be directed via e-mail to: butcher.don@deq.state.or.us;or woIgamott.mitch@deq. state, or.us.
