structures. 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”

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
