schedules open houses in March Association scholarship donations
The Heppner Ranger District has scheduled four
open houses in March to discuss off-highway vehicle
(OHV) and other motorized travel on 91 .(XX) acres of public
lands on the west side of the District. Public input is
requested to help identify designated routes for OHV travel
west of the Monument-Sunflower Flat Road No. 22. The
four open houses will be held:
March 12, from 1-4 p.m. and 6-8 p.m., at the
Heppner Ranger District Office, 117 Main St., Heppner.
March 16, from 1-6 p.m. at the Heppner Ranger
District Office, 117 Main St.. Heppner.
March 19, from 6-8 p.m. at the Senior Center, 269
Main St., Monument.
March 22, from 6-8 p.m. at the Wheeler Co. Family
Service Center, 401 4th St., Fossil.
"We really need your input in this process. If you
recreate in this area, and care about which trails or roads
should be open or closed to motor vehicles, we want to
hear from you,” said Tom Mafera, Heppner District Ranger.
“We intend to use a collaborative approach to engage the
public throughout this process while coordinating with
state, county, local and tribal governments.”
The Heppner District has initiated the West End
OHV project in response the travel management rule,
published in 2005, to providing motor vehicle access to
national forests and grasslands. The new rule calls for the
designation of roads; trails and areas open to motorized
travel to provide:
- better opportunities for sustainable motorized
recreation
- better protection of the environment
- reduce effects on big game
- better protection of cultural resource values
- increased public safety
- ample high-quality access to the National Forest
System (NFS) for all users
Designated routes for motorized travel are already
in place on most of the Umatilla National Forest. The
Forest’s one exception is the 91,000-acre area, which is
currently open to cross-country, OHV travel. In order to
comply with the 2005 travel management rule, the District
is initiating the West-End OHV project to designate roads,
trails and areas open to motorized travel on public lands
on this portion of the district. No decisions will be made
concerning private or county lands. The District plans to
com plete the process and begin im plem entation by
September of 2009.
“We’re pleased with the public’s response and
interest in the West End OHV project. The open houses
will be a great opportunity to learn about our approach
and timeline for the project. More importantly, it will be an
opportunity to provide specific feedback for us to consider
in the design of the designated system. Those that can’t
attend will be able to provide their input in writing, through
our website, by calling, or stopping in at the district office.”
said Mafera.

In the 1940s North
Gilliam and North Morrow
Counties had an invasion of
Mormon crickets. According
to a news release, due to the
slow action, or reaction of
the U.S. government and its
programs, John Krebs took
it upon him self to collect
money from local concerned
property owners and formed
the North Gilliam-Morrow
Cricket Control Association.
W hen the m oney was
collected the amount each
landowner gave was never
recorded-just their names.
Two different years
of cricket invasions were
controlled by the work of
this association. There was
$2,867.92 left over, and in
1951 the money was put into
a savings account at Gilliam
County Bank in Arlington
Oregon. Later this money
was moved to a T.C.D.
It has been decided
by the trustees that this
account
should
be
terminated and the money
divided equally betw een
A rlington and lone High
Schools for scholarships. As
a result of the long time
investm ent of $2,867.92,
which now has grown to
over $25,879.30, the North
