Queen's Lineage was Scrambled

...iV trihutA to Westward Ho!
KnrartA 1971 Marshal Harold
Erwin and pointed out that Mor
row County Is "taking over" the
1971 Pendleton Round-Up.
The story spoke of Queen
ruttl Healy's royal lineage but
ohow several lines didn't
print the way they were writ
ten. When I complained to Boss
Charlie Heard about omitting
the name of the present Queen
Pattls aunt, the 1958 Queen
Judy Lazinka (since 1959 Mrs.
Ron Curr n. wno la mo
Round-Up Queen I really feel
pretty well acquainted with,
Charlie said, "Lots of strange
thlncs happen to newspaper
stories. In my thirty years with
printers ink, I ve often wonaer
ed Just how and why."
Well, Charlie, I have a theory
which might never Decome a
positive aaswer but hark! Since
I arrived In this land of Sham
rocks and Shepherds my portion
of Irish blood has been re-awakened
by contacts with the Bros
nans, Currins, Farleys, Flana
gans, Healys, Hughes, Kellys,
Kilkennys, McBrldes, McCabes,
McCartys, Mahoneys, Mollahans,
Monaghans, O'Briens, O'Don
nells, and Gallihers to mention
only a few of our Hibernian
friends. Now my Irish under
ntunding tells me how and why
some things do happen among
the hills of Morrow that are a
bit beyond the ken of outsiders.
Consider this hypothesis. A
dear little leprechaun stowed
away on a boat that brought
some Celtic ancestors from
County Lcltrim, County Tipper
ary, County Donegal, County
Cavan, County Cork, County
Longford, County Mayo, County
Queens (now Offaly), County
Tyrone, County Kerry or one of
the other green spots that good
Judge John J. Kilkenny lists in
his notable and enjoyable
"Shamrocks and Shepherds".
This little indestructible lepre
chaun (1 call him Finny, short
for Finlan) loves mischief, loves
mixing things around in his
New Ireland, and does especial
ly well at It during that Irish
month called March, toward the
very end of which I was writ
ing the Harold Erwln story.
We could have expected those
lines about Queen Pattl Healy's
royal mother, 1950's Queen
Kathryn Lazinka and her royal
sister, Pattl's aunt, 1958's Queen
Judy Lazinka, to catch Finny's
attention. Maybe he knew I was
coins? to exno.se him. So he
snatched the name of Currins'
Queen Judy completely out of
the story, the rascal. Guess he
reallv hustled with April com
ing on to get in a little final
March mischief or maybe he
loves April 1 pranks.
Finny's meddling ways do
clve me this opportunity to
write a little more. Harold Er
win was the hero of last week's
story, and the wee Irish sprite
knew better than to touch words
about "Mr. Rodeo." Now Flnian,
in an attempt to makeup for
your misdeeds, I want to speak
out about those royal red-head

ram are Joan, susan, Mary,
Janice, and Maureen: Judys
sons are Ronnie, Tony, Mike and

Though the Currin sons can't
become Round-Up royalty, they
might become directors. They
are already winners of Wrang
ler awards. Young Tony sort of
stole the show at the 1969 Hepp
ner parade when he rode a spec
tacular runaway south along
most of Heppner's Main street.
Since I've mentioned some or
the Healy's daughters' aunties,
let's consider some ot the Lur-
rin."' sons' uncles. The Currin
family were 1968 Morrow Coun
ty Cattlemen of the Year. They
have several colorful Currin
cranduncles, Hugh, Bob, and
long-time Round-Up director,
Ralph. Their very own special
uncle, however, is Tom Currin,
one of Morrow's most prominent
and most eligible bachelors.
Tom drives a snappy car and
flies his own little 'plane.
The four sons' father, Ron, has
a collection of rodeo trophies
their very modest Uncle Tom
must have quickly hidden the
collection of sprint and dash
trophies he must have won. He
must be super fleet or how else
has he out-distanced the coun
ty colleens so long?
The Healy lasses and the Cur
rin lads were blessed with some
of the greatest of grandparents.
I can only write with lirst-nana
knowledge of one set of these,
Helen and George Currin. In
rating grandparents It would be
mighty hard to come up with
another pair to equal Helen and
George. I am sure you, too, have
noticed that the County or Mor
row rates high as grandparent
land, and competition for top
rating is extremely close up here
with the Jerry Brosnans, the
Harold Erwins, the Eb Hughes,
the Phil Mahoneys, and dozens
of others doing great work.
Though I really enjoy ramb
ling about our royal Irish fam
ilies, I must close with the ob
servation that no single, Indes
tructible leprechaun, and defin
itely not our own little Finny
dares to In any way hex Mor
row's big year with the Pendle
ton Round-Up.

Comes Home
With Medal
Heppner young people contin
ue to take honors, winning
scholarships and receiving com
mendation medals, at home and
abroad!
Friends can be proud of the
latest honor to come to our at
tention. This one to Lawrence
Green, son of Mr. and Mrs. Her
man Green. Before his recent
discharge from the service, he
was presented the Joint Service
Commendation Medal. This
handsome green and gold medal
served happily as a "going
awav" gift after his year in
Vietnam. He served as Home
town News Release Clerk with
the Information office and later
as a Security Review Analyst,
His superior officers felt he
displayed remarkable ability to
grasp his new duties. His sound
ludgment and application or in
formation policies facilitated the
release of well over 2000 news
releases, photographs with cap
tions and audio tapes. He was
particularly concerned with
news of the allied forces in
Cambodia and Laos.
After a few days at home, he
is now enrolled at the Univer
sity of Oregon working towards
his Masters. He is a graduate
of EOC and taught three years
at Odell before he went Into the
service. At Odell he filled the
Job vacated by Al Martin when
he came to Heppner.

Heppner's Mustangs put down

of 7-2 in non-league baseball at

The key factor in the win was
the fact that lone had five err
ors and Heppner didn't give up
one. LaVerne Van Marter pitch
ed the first four Innings until
he was relieved by Sam Bel
lamy and Steve Rhea, respect
ively. The three combined lor an
earn-run average of just 2.
Sam Bellamy's hitting was al
so worthy of recognition as he
hit 2 for 2 and had two KBi's.
