Want a hot, home
cooked meal, but don’t want
to make it yourself? Well,
Candy Chick is here to help
you with her new business,
Casserole Kitchen. Catering
to w orking fam ilies and
mom’s that need a break.
Casserole Kitchen offers a
variety of casseroles and
enchiladas to feed from one
to six people.
Looking for a way to
help the community and to
feel “self accom plished,”
Chick decided to go into
business. For the past
several years she has helped
her husband Kevin run their
b u sin ess
M iller
Manufacturing, as well as
raise her children.
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. They have two
daughters, two sons and two
granddaughters.
Chick’s family was
also instrumental in helping
her to get the Kitchen up and
running. Husband, kids and
both sets of parents helped
to clean and set up the
business, which used to be
the
old
C hevron
convenience store.
Casserole Kitchen
opened July 21 and is ready
to take orders. They offer
three sizes of casseroles-
single serve, m edium
(which serves 2-3 people)
and large (which serves 4-6
p eo p le). C assero les are
generally baked there, but
may be taken and baked at
home.
The hours are
M onday through Friday,
from 11 a.m . to 6 p.m.
Orders for casseroles, which
are “homemade,” need to be
placed by 3 p.m., by calling
676-5029 or stopping by at
294 N. Main Street.

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.

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.
