If you get out on the highways these weekends, you may
notice the proliferation of motorcyclists. On 80 N., many
cyclists are traveling east and many are headed west.
A promotion group of 200 to 800 cyclists was to leave
Hermiston at noon on a recent Saturday to drive to Portland,
but the number dwindled to 20 participants before the
take-off.
I had a chance to talk with a mother, father and two
children who travel with the Re-Cycle Club from the Portland
area. The mother and daughter ride on a large cycle that the
father had used until last year when he bought an even larger
and flashier outfit. With it, he and the son pull a two-wheel
trailer that carries the family's camping gear.
This family say they enjoy many good-weather outings on
their motorcycles. They say that cyclists are being better
accepted by everyone than they were a few years back.
Maybe they have a good slant on the need for conserving
gasoline their miles cost a great deal less than in any
car but their vehicles are not so attractive in wet, cold
weather.
A new, local motorcycle enthusiast is 1977 Heppner High
graduate, Robert Henry. Bob bought his cycle before school
ended, and found it great to zip to high school, to his
swing-shift job at the Kinzua Mill and back to his apartment.
He passed his operator test with flying colors and has now
made one long weekend trip to visit friends at Unity. He
reports everything went well and that he used very few
gallons of gas.
None of us care to dwell on ethnicities, but it is good to
recognize, in passing, that Bob is a special person. He has
successfully blended his proud Navajo heritage with this, his
adopted community.
Robert is not the first Heppner student who has worked a
hard eight-hour shift and stayed in school, but in addition,
because of his "ethnic loneliness," being a long distance
from his New Mexico home territory, he rates extra praise,
we feel.
With the advent of warm sunshine and blue skies, lots of
traveling is beginning. Some folks just have more Gypsy
blood than others. I love to get away and look around, but I
am always thankful to have a home to return to.
The last few weeks of school, several good-sized groups of
students have traveled through the museum and little
schoolhouse here. Some of them found picnicking in the
surrounding park not too pleasing on cold, damp days.
Now that school has ended, we expect there will be much
moving of families to different towns and to different homes
in this town. Here it will resemble musical chairs, because of
the scarcity of homes; one moving family may start a chain
reaction that will involve several more families.
As often happens in this area, our weather may jump
quickly from cool to hot. We know most of the planted food
stuffs will grow better in warmer days and nights. It has been
very helpful, though, during the busy month just past, to have
had the garden sprinkling done by heavenly forces.
Inez Erwin entertained her co-workers from Heppner
Elementary School at her home on Riverside on Tuesday
evening, June 7. It was a sort of farewell party.
So many teachers she has been with for years, like Inez
herself, will not be coming back to the school here next year.
They gathered to bid one another goodbye and to reminisce
while sharing a picnic supper.
The Heppner High School Class of 1976 will gather here
Saturday, June 18, and Sunday, June 19, for a tenth reunion.
Mrs. Roger Leonnig (Teensie Moore), the class secretary,
has sent out invitations.
There will be a golf tournament on Saturday morning, a
banquet and dance at the Elks' Club Saturday night and a
picnic at the Fairgrounds on Sunday.
