Hyder, 65, husband o f long-time Heppner resident Phyllis Nelson Hyder, passed away peacefully and surrounded by family at home in Port land, OR on the evening of December 16, 2011. With amazing strength and iron will, he outlived even the most optim istic medical prognosis in a long battle with heart disease. A cel ebration of life service was held December 21 at 1 p.m. at Creator Lutheran Church in Clackamas, OR. Robin was born Septem ber 18, 1946 in Redmond, OR and spent his younger years in the high desert o f central Or egon. He^ioi'ed to the Wil lamette Valley following high school and had made his home in the Portland area since 1972. Robi n spent 40 years in the metal manu facturing industries and was highly respected in his field. He earned his way up from sweeping floors to project management through hard work and a constant thirst for knowledge. He had a ceaseless work ethic and, despite his eroding health, he worked, literally, until the day he died. R o b i n ’s h i g h est priorities and greatest source o f pride were his wife and children; he cel ebrated his 30th wedding anniversary just four days prior to his passing. Noth ing brought him more joy than a smile on the face o f one of his children or the laughter of one of his grandchildren. He enjoyed his extended family and friends, especially when he could share time with them out in nature.

The new MOA would preserve the required training capabilities at Naval Weapons Systems Training Facility (NWSTF) Boardman that are necessary to maintain training readiness, including the capability to continue low-altitude aviation training. The Navy and National Guard are reopening the scoping period and seeking public input to identify community concerns and issues about the proposed new MOA. The mission of NWSTF Boardman is to support naval and joint services operational readiness by providing a suitable range in the vicinity of Navy and Oregon National Guard forces in the northwest. The development of structures of significant height on lands beneath the existing Special Use Airspace has and may continue to result in the potential loss of ability to train with military aircraft at lower altitudes on the range. To alleviate this situation, the Navy is considering the addition of new Special Use Airspace in the form of an MOA to the northeast of the existing Special Use Airspace at NWSTF Boardman. ^HŒ JVA^nTANEM NATIONAljGUAÂ^^E^UESIM fOU^NPUT^ SUBMIT WRITTEN COMMENTS T O ; Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Northwest Attn: Mrs Amy Burt - NWSTF Boardman EIS Project Manager 1101 Tautog Circle, Suite 203 Silverdale, WA 98315-1101 Magnetic Door Signs! *Loti of Sizes* * Lots of Colors* * Free Quotes* The Heppner Gazette Times ( 541 ) 676 - 9228 Photos captured on an ODFW remote camera in northeast Oregon show the Wenaha wolf pack had at least one pup this year.

He knew the Deschutes River like the back of his hand and loved white-water rafting and fishing on it. He enjoyed baseball, college basketball (especially the Ralph M iller glory days at Oregon State) and foot ball; he had season tickets for the Winterhawks for many years. His favorite teams were always the ones his children or grandchil dren were on, and he rarely missed a game. He enjoyed stand-up comedians and firmly believed that The Tonight Show ended the day Johnny Carson retired. Memories of his dry wit and stubborn nature will bring smiles to his family and friends forever. He is survived by: his father, Norman Hyder; br o t h e r , Wr en Hy d e r (Kathy); wife, Phyllis (Nel son) Hyder; three children and five grandchildren: R honda R ushing Allen (Troy) with Amanda, Kristy and Ryan; Brian Kroll (Michelle) with Ethan and Claire; Kimberley Hyder (Samantha) with Tara.

DA’s Report The U.S. Navy and National Guard ( t ) Robin R. Hyder i Snake River packs all had at least one pup. The new W alla W alla pack p ro duced at least three pups. While any reproduction is good news for w olf con servation, only one pack, the Walla Walla, will like ly be determined to be a “breeding pair” for 2011, or a w olf pack that has produced at least two pups that survive through the end o f the year. Breed ing pairs are an important measure of wolf conserva tion for wildlife managers. The Wenaha pack was de termined to be a breeding pair in 2010. It is also be lieved to be the first pack to reproduce in Oregon since w olves were extirpated back in the 1940s, when a July 2008 howling survey found evidence o f pups. ODFW’s efforts to find ad ditional pups for the Wenaha and other packs will contin ue so the department can get a complete year-end count o f all pups bom in 2011.
