NOW HIRING DRIVERS into life with his sweet- heart, spending his time traveling, gardening, and being an active member of the LDS Church. Though Hershey had no children, he considered Prudence Jayne (PJ) Nicklaus to be his adopted daughter. In his own words, Her- shey, “lived by the Golden Rule most of his life. He loved most everybody he ever met and, in return, got their love back. If he had to do it all over, he wouldn’t change a thing. He loved each of you while he was here and he’ll love Bethine for all eternity.” Hershey is survived by his wife, Bethine (Fet- ters) Siron, his brother Hart Siron, PJ Nicklaus, and her young daughter, Cindy. He was preceded in death by his parents, eldest brother, Harley Siron and his first wife, Helen. Memorial ser- vices will be held at the LDS church at 22801 S.E.

A grave- side service will be held on Monday, Jan. 8 at 11 a.m. at the Arlington Cemetery in Arlington, OR. A reception will follow at the Gronquist Building in Arlington. He was born May 30, 1932, the only son of Edgar and Margaret McKinney Anderson. He grew up on the family ranch in the Blalock Canyon area near Arlington that was home- steaded in 1888. He at- tended school in Arlington, graduating from Arlington High School in 1950. Don served in the United States Army from 1953-1955, stationed in Fort Hood, TX. He stayed in contact with many of his Army buddies throughout his life. Besides the wheat and cattle ranch, Don’s only real hobby in his younger years was the occasional week- end rodeo. That hobby led him to the Morrow County Fair and Rodeo where he met rodeo queen, Patricia Ann Wright. They were married Nov. 30, 1957. Don and Patricia combined their family ranches which are still in operation today. Don enjoyed good horses and cattle. He was recognized as the lifetime commercial cattleman hon- oree at the Western Nugget Nation Hereford Show in 2005 by the Western States Hereford Association. In 1990 and 1991 he was se- lected by the American Her- eford Association to judge Hereford carloads at the National Western Livestock Show in Denver, CO. Don also enjoyed watching high school and college sporting events, traveling to hereford bull sales and visiting with people in the live- stock in- dustry. He was a member Don E. of the Ore- Anderson gon Cattle- man’s As- sociation, Oregon Wheat Growers League and Con- don Elks Lodge #1869 and was active with the Arlington Saddle Club for many years. Survivors include daughter, Tami Rietmann and her husband Mark of Heppner; son, Brad Ander- son and his wife Sally of Arlington; granddaughters, Shelly McCabe and her hus- band Adam of Ione, Shanna Sallee and her husband Mike of Hermiston and Tatianna Taylor of Hood River; great-grandchildren, Anson McCabe and Tessa Sallee; and friend Cheryl Thomas of Hood River. He was preceded in death by his wife Patricia and his parents.

Changes to Oregon’s bottle deposit and redemption system begin Jan. 1 Starting January 1, 2018, most beverages in sealed plastic, aluminum, and glass containers be- tween four ounces and 1.5 liters will be charged a 10-cent deposit and the containers will be eligible for redemption. This means that many new beverages, like ciders, sports drinks, coffees, and teas will be part of Oregon’s innovative bottle bill. “The expansion of the bottle bill that starts on Jan. 1 is an important step toward bringing the suc- cess of the bottle bill in line with the kinds of products that are out there today, keeping more litter out of Oregon’s beautiful natural areas, and making sure that those containers are getting recycled,” said Jules Bailey, Chief Stewardship Officer of the Oregon Beverage Recycling Cooperative. The rule of thumb for deciding if the container is covered by the change is generally, if you can pour it and drink it, it’s covered unless it’s one of the specifi- cally excluded beverages (distilled spirits, wine, milk, infant formula, and meal replacement beverages). As many new contain- ers come in to the bottle deposit and redemption Morrow County Road Dept. would like to remind all motorists there will be NO winter maintenance on Coalmine hill (USFS Route 53) For the rest of the County winter maintenance practices include applying deicing agent, plowing and sanding. The combination of practices used at each site may vary to accommodate the different climate, traffic and storm conditions encountered. Please use extreme caution and common sense. They will do their best and would appreciate your patience. Driving in the snow and ice requires a certain set of driving skills that some residents rarely get to use. HERE ARE SOME THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND: ♦ Check road conditions on your route before you go at TripCheck or by dialing 511. Plan your trip accordingly. ♦ Allow extra time to get where you’re going. Travel is going to be slow. ♦ Allow extra stopping dis- tance. There is less traction on slick, snowy roads. ♦ Brake gently to avoid skid- ding or sliding. If the wheels lock up, ease off the brakes. ♦ Carry chains and know how to use them. M.C. PUBLIC WORKS 541-989-9500. ♦ Make sure your vehicle is in top operating conditions, with clean headlights, good brakes, working windshield wipers and good tires. ♦ Slow down when ap- proaching off-ramps, bridges and shady spots where the snow often lingers longer. ♦ Turn on your headlights to increase your visibility. ♦ Be prepared for delays. Make sure you have water, blankets, a full tank of gas… and plenty of patience! ♦ If you feel tired or if road conditions get rough, don’t be afraid to stop for the night. system, Oregon Bottle Drop Redemption Centers will continue to offer three easy ways for people to return containers and reclaim their deposit. 1.
