Wolf depredation committee seeks member By Doris Brosnan This month, the begin- ning of the last year in this decade, began with a meal the Terrace community views as splendiferous. The menu featured crab patties made with the crab again provided by Colin and Erin Anderson. Such a tasty treat. Special for the Annual Staff Holiday Dinner on the 10 th was the catered meal prepared by Alvin Liu. Prime rib done just right. Carolyn Hall enjoyed the Christmas and New Year’s feasts but has since relocated to the St. Patrick Senior Apartments. Her apartment and two others are now standing ready for the welcoming of new residents. A few more special menus will greet everyone at lunches when birthday celebrants share some fa- vorite foods in the coming weeks: Mary Jean McCabe on the 20 th and Ernie Mc- Cabe on February 3, Anna Schwarzin on February 5 and Bernice Lott on Feb- ruary 25. And the Terrace will host the maintenance staff at lunch today. This is Na- tional Maintenance Day, so the meal is meant to show the facility’s appreciation of all that these specialty workers do. With the days growing longer but colder, inside activities are especially use- ful. The 10:30 morning ex- ercise-and-discussion time is a great body-and-mind fitness hour. And the other regularly scheduled activi- ties are good stimuli when wanting to stay warm, but engaged: bingo, book club, crossword puzzle, Uno Morrow County is seeking applicants for a vacancy on the Morrow County Wolf Depredation Advisory Committee, an advisory committee to the Board of Commissioners. The committee consists of two members who repre- sent wolf conservation, two members who represent livestock producers, two members who represent lo- cal business and one county commissioner. The current vacancy requires the person to own or manage livestock. The purpose of the Wolf Depredation Advisory Committee is the adminis- tration of the Oregon Wolf Depredation Compensation and Financial Assistance Grant Program. The com- mittee meets to discuss ways to assist livestock producers with non-lethal deterrent methods and, when appropriate, the dollar amount to be distributed in the event of a proven wolf depredation. Term lengths are four years. The com- mittee meets every other month, except May-Au- gust, in Heppner or on an as-needed basis. For additional informa- tion or questions, contact Roberta Lutcher, Executive Assistant, 541-676-5613 or rlutcher@co.morrow.or.us. Please submit letters of interest by Friday, January 31 to Ms. Lutcher at the above email address or reg- ular mail to Morrow County Board of Commissioners, P.O. Box 788, Heppner, OR 97836. JUNK CARS -Continued from PAGE ONE you have unlicensed RVs county there are also has a lot of abandoned and junk recreational vehicles and he would like to develop a future program to get rid of some of those too. “When RVs get older, they have no value,” Russell pointed out. “It costs a couple of thou- sand dollars to get rid of them, so people just let them stack up on their property.” In discussion with acting county planner Stepha- nie Case Russell said he would like to see county ordinance very plain ad- dressing abandoned RVs. “We need black and white to take to the landowners (that are in violation),” he said. “Something that says Meet and Greet scheduled The Boardman Rural Fire Protection District Board of Directors invites everyone to the meet and greet for the candidates for fire chief being held Febru- ary 2, from noon to 3 p.m. at the Sage Center, 101 Olson Rd, NE in Boardman. Additional information regarding the candidates will follow in a future is- sue of the Heppner Ga- zette-Times. and these are the rules.” He said he wanted ambiguity taken out of the ordinances for the person responding to the complaints of landown- ers with abandoned RVs on their property. “This is an ongoing problem that won’t go away. People buy a piece of property and say ‘I can do whatever I want on it’. I want to sop the problem before it gets too big,” Russell said of his goal. The county planning de- partment along with a code enforcement officer from the sheriff’s office handles all abandoned vehicle com- plaints, and it was decided to set up a group to decide how to tackle the problem. DEADLINE: MONDAYS AT 5PM A View from the Hill card game. National Book Week begins on the 19 th and residents and staff will be encouraged to talk about some favorite books and to offer to share their books. Some haberdashery and millinery examples could show up this Friday, the 17 th , when staff and resi- dents will be invited to wear hats to celebrate National Hat Day. National Hugging Day is to be acknowledged on the 21 st , so everyone might, maybe, could offer a few more hugs through the day. Following on the 23 rd will be Clothes-Clashing Day, when at least some brave souls will try to be outstanding in their out- landish choices of conflict- ing colors and/or patterns. And some will probably en- joy changing some clothes around on the 31 st , to get in on Backwards Day. Two prominent literary figures have back-to-back special days this month: Popeye’s 1929 birthday date this Friday is followed on Saturday by Winnie the Pooh’s 1926 date of cre- ation. Topic of discussion on Monday, the 20 th , will be Martin Luther King, Jr. on his nationally recognized day. Already halfway through the January cal- endar, the community on the hill watch the winter weather that has showed up, check their calendars for activities, and wonder what will be on the February calendar besides the Super Bowl and their special, candlelight dinner on Val- entine’s Day. And they can view all this in the warm comfort of Willow Creek Terrace. New Baby in Your Family? Engagement? Wedding? We want to share your life events!
