August 21, 1975 Thunderegg Capital Danny Needs Your lood By Vera McCrady Yea, his name is Danny Moreno. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Carlos Moreno of South Second Street in Nyssa. He has a brother, Georite, and three sisters. Lolita. Angie and Anna. We have seen a lot of this little family the last four years, as they live at the back of our yard. Danny is a very special young person to his family and to us. as he has had three open heart sur geries in less than three years. That helps to make our two famuies closer, as Red had open heart surgery in July, before Danny had his first surgery in October of 1972. Then in February of 1974. his second and he underwent his third surgery July 24. 1975 Fred Robinson Appointed Danny Moreno He is a very brave and sensitive little boy who just turned 12 years old on June 21. Medically and physically, he has undergone more than most of us go through in a lifetime. Danny is not going to get to start school this fall as his doctors in Boise want him to get lots of rest and be quiet. When he docs get to attend school, his teachers and classmates must realize that Danny is going to need a lot of help and cooperation to help him win his battle and keep him going All he wants to do is to be healthy so he can run and play like other boys and girls But he will need help. Danny never asks for sympathy or complains and unless you ask him how he feels, you probably would never know. He loves buil ding models and this is one of his hobbies that he can do while regaining his strength. Yes. Danny is trying to get well, but he still needs your help as do many others who have had surgery. Why?’ These surgeries require ma ny units of blood, and without blood banks and the many blood donatams, these sur geries could not be done How?’ Donate a pint of blood at the Blood Drawing. Wed nesday, August 27, at the Eagles Hall, 2 p.m. - 6 p m. The Chamber of Com merce will set the unit up and the Church of the Nazarene will be hostess. Donate a pint of blood in Danny Moreno's name to replace some he has used. I'm sure Danny would say "thanks" for helping him to get well. We say 'thanks again for the blood given so generously for both Red and Danny in the last three years. Please help, give a small part of you. so that Danny and many others may become a whole person, healthy and happv. able to run. walk and play. We are the Moreno's "Grandpa and Grandma Mc Crady'’ • Red and Vera. Fred Robinson was ap pointed Municipal Judge by the Mayor and City Council to succeed Judge A. C.

The Interior Department's Bureau of Outdoor Recrea tion (BOR) will lead a Federal-State study to de termine if a 115-mile stretch of the Owyhee River, in southeastern Oregon, is eli gible for membership on the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. As a first step in the study. BOR will hold several informal public information meetings to explain the processes and goals of the study. The first meetings are planned for 2 p.m. and 7p.m. on September 10. at the Treasure Valley Community College Student Union in Ontario. Oregon. Two addi tional public information meetings are scheduled for 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.. on September 11, 1975 at St. Bernards Catholic Church in Jordan Valley. Oregon. The Owyhee study is required by the National Wild and Scenic Rivers Act which names the stream as one of 56 rivers, in all parts of the Nation, to be studied as potential additions to the national system. The Parks and Recreation Branch of the Oregon State Highway Di vision. U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Oregon Department of Fish and Game. Interior's Bureau of Land Management and the U. S. Forest Service will join BOR in the study effort. This study will focus on the main stem of the Owyhee’s South Fork, from the Oregon Idaho border downstream to the Owyhee Reservoir. Por tions of this stretch are already in the Oregon State Waterways System. Upon completion of the study BOR will report its recommenda tions as to whether the Owyhee is qualified for the national system and. if qualified, how the river should be classified and which agency or agencies should be responsible for its management The final de cision on adding of the Owyhee River to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System will be made by the U. S. Congress. The National Wild and Scenic Rivers System was created in 1968. It contains 12 of America’s finest wild, scenic and recreational rivers including three—the Middle Fork of the Clearwater. Idaho; Rogue. Oregon and the Middle Fork of the Salmon. Idaho—in the North west. Cyclists To Be Cited If Violating Bike Laws As the school year fast approaches the thoughts of bike riders becomes a great concern for the Police Department. In an effort to prevent accidents we caution parents to instruct their children regarding bicycle safety. Quite frequently officers are witnessing violations of the traffic laws by bike riders. In the future, written warnings will be mailed to the parent of the violator and a copy will be sent to the Juvenile Department. Of fenders stopped for a second time will then receive a citation and will be required to appear in juvenile court. To better acquaint the parents and youngsters, the following State and Chy Regulations are listed: ORS 483.034 states Every person riding a bicycle upon a roadway Is «abject to the pres talons of this Chapter applicable to the driver of a vehicle. In addition the Nyssa Citv Code prohibits riding on sidewalks and riding at a speed greater than Is reason able and prudent under the conditions existhig. No parent of any child shall authorize or permit a minor child to violate any of the provisions of this chapter. Parents should also remind their children to register their bikes at the Police Station. This registration is most helpful in cases of theft or loss. There is no charge for this service.
