The low slung hutches are made with a plywood ro o f supported several feet off the ground. Field fencing is placed over the top and sides o f the hutches to allow the young birds to run inside and es cape predators, especially hawks which will make a quick meal out of the young pen-raised birds. The six-week old birds are mixed sexes, and were purchased through Tim Adams who raises pheasants. Hombeck said that so far they have had a good survival rate for the chicks, losing only 20 out o f the 300 so far, mostly to shock of moving them around. When released last week the chicks just hud dled together, not moving after being released. Cherry said the birds were disori ented from the relocation, and they would acclimate pretty quickly. Dunsmier also placed several bags o f a sand material into the hutches before the birds were released. “It’s a sand material that the birds use to help clean themselves,” Hombeck explained. While at the release site the Fish & Wild life crew also filled a nearby “guzzler” with water for the birds to drink. The guzzler also had a protective cover over it to keep predators away from the young birds while they are drinking. Estes win August’s Yard of the Month By Kay Proctor Location means everything in real estate and August’s Yard o f the Month proves that. Rusty and Cyde Estes’ charming home and yard at 275 N. Court St. in Heppner not only catches the attention o f visitors to the county fair and rodeo and to the Heppner Mustangs ’ football field, it is centrally located to their employers. Rusty is the EMS coordinator for the Morrow County Health District based a few blocks away at Pioneer Memorial Hospital. Cyde volunteers at the Hospice program there and Rusty drives ambulance parked by the hospital. From their front lawn, Cyde can see the county courthouse where she works as lead appraiser. The fire hall is a short distance in another direction, important for Fire Chief Rusty. Her parents, Clyde and Jackie Allstott, live just a block away. Rusty and Cyde are both Heppner natives and have many other family members in the area, too. Their home was custom built in 1949 for the Rosewalds who owned the local Chevrolet dealership. The Estes, who purchased the home in 1996, are only the third owners The home has a wood burning fireplace, oak floors and a round window by the front entryway. The large lot, originally formed with fill dirt and alkaline soil, has been aided by amendments. While digging, Cyde discovered an unusual rusted piece of manufactured iron, perhaps a pin for heavy equipment. She is keeping it in hopes it will be identified someday. Two years ago when Court Street was undergoing a major upgrade, the couple made changes in their front yard, including a newly-seeded lawn, cement work and revamped underground sprinklers. Because of the sloping terrain, Cyde has created terracing with landscape blocks. She has purchased three or four pallets of blocks per year for several years and considers it “a work in progress”. Local teenagers are hired for outdoor projects and maintenance. The back yard is fenced with chain link, then drops off sharply to Willow Creek. Their neighbor’s goat and sheep keep the undeveloped portion of the slope grazed down. Tall snags by the creek often have hawks and owls perched in them and deer visit, too. Hummingbirds feed from various plants. A family o f quail has created bowls by a terrace for their dust baths and enjoy the bird blocks set out for them. Cyde does not mind sharing the yard with visiting garter snakes, but did not care for the baby rattlesnake that visited a while ago. Pea gravel is used in certain areas and larger, unique rocks collected over the years are scattered throughout. Yard art, given by sons Eric and Chad, add character. A large cast iron pot used by the family of the boys’ grandfather to make lye soap now anchors a comer with a purple flowering perennial spilling out each spring. Outdoor work is often done in the early morning by Cyde and she loves “being outside ...in the dirt” with “the beauty o f the flowers” m fA % * <rw «» nc . Cyde Estes in her award winning yard and appreciates how everything is “constantly changing”. Her favorite plant is “whatever I get to grow”, although she is partial to burgundy pinkish peonies. She recommends “finding an expert who shares with you and talks to others” about gardening, mentioning Terry Tallman and Janet Wilson. Some of the plants used in their yard are euonymus, “Rose of Sharon”, purple flowering butterfly bush, mugho pine, burning bush and snowball shrubs; gladioli, irises, anemone and dahlia bulbs/ tubers; rudbeckia, salvia, tall phlox, rock cress, gayfeather, pincushion, day lilies, delphinium, hens and chicks, hybrid lupine, hardy geranium, basket of gold, rock rose, poppies, Russian sage and coral bell perennials; snapdragons, sunflowers, petunia and zinnia annuals. Early in the interview, Rusty was paged An iron pin Cyde Estes found in the soil out for an emergency and hastily stated to credit Cyde “for all this beauty” since it is “her yard”. Heppner is fortunate to this couple and their home located here. Yard of the Month recognition is chosen by the Heppner Garden Club and co-sponsored by the City of Heppner and MCGG-Green Feed. 2011 MORROW COUNTY FAIR ENTERTAINMENT SCHEDULE ‘THERE’ S COUNTRY IN THE AIR, AT THE MORROW COUNTY FAIR’ t00i‘* Y FAIR OPENS TO PUBLIC VIEWING EVERYDAY A T 8:00 A M EAT A T THE FAIR ALL DA Y WEDNESDAY AU G U STO All Day Adam the Great 10:00 FF A Tractor Driving Contest 10:00-12:00 Old Time Fiddler's 10:00-5:00 4-H/FFA Food Contest 4-H Lamb Fitting 12:00 Contest 1:00 Hermiston Watermelon Seed Spitting Contest 4-H/FFA Small 1:00 Animal Conformation A Showmanship 1:00-3:00 Kids Games 4-H/FFA 3:00 Livestock Judging Open Class Pet 3:00 Show/Ugliest & Prettiest Pet Show 5:00 RDO Equipment Pedal Power Tractor Pull 6:30 Pee Wee My Favorite Outfit 7:00 4-H Style Review ) THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY A U G U S T 18 A U G U S T 19 A U G U S T 20 Sheep A G oals are in the O ld B e e f Barn Sheep A G oals are in the O ld B e e f Barn Adam the Great All Day 9:00 4,h Annual Painted Hills Natural Beef Backy ard Grilling Contest 9:00-4:00 4-H/FFA Foods Contest 4-H/FFA Sheep A 9:00 Swine Conformation 4-H Rocketry Demo 9:00 10:00 4-H Dog Show 4-H/FFA Beef 1:00 Conformation 1:00 4-H/FFA Goat Conformation A Showmanship Ice Cream Social 3:00 3:00-5:00 Talent Show 7 . in a Adam the Great 4-H/FFA Sheep A Swine Showmanship 9:00-12:00 Open Class Premiums Paid 4-H/FFA Beef 1:00 Showmanship 1:00-3 00 Open Class Premiums Paid 4-H Master 3:30 Showman followed by FF A Greased Pig 6:00 Contest OTPR/NPR4 7:00 Rodeo Rock n Roll Cowboys 10:00 (in Rodeo Arena) r r n ^ ; « . 6:00-6:30 Joe Lindsay 6:00 OTPR/NPRA Slack 6:00-9:30 Murray s-Country Rose WineA Micro-Beer Tasting 6:30-8:30 Tiller 's Folly 8:30-10:00 Even Plane All Day 9:00 All Day 1 0 :0 0 12:00 1:00 2:00 7:00 10:00 Adam the Great Parade 4-H/FFA Buyers Appreciation Lunch FFA Awards 4-H/FFA Livestock Auction OTPR'NPR4 Rodeo Rodeo Rose (in Rodeo Arena) r\ O F TXT A V SU N D AY A U G U S T 21 8:00 Cowboy Breakfast 9:00-11:00 ALL 4-H/FFA A Open Class Exhibits released (including livestock A small animals) 9:00 Commercial entries A booths released 1:15 MOCO Rodeo
