, FOUR The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Ore., Thursday, June 16, 1977 i -Hf r T " Queen Mary Anne Proctor rises to the occasion(s) The roping and riding have taken a back seat this year on Mary Anne Proctor's priority list. Instead, she is more likely to find herself standing at a speaker's diaz, reminding the audience not to miss an upcoming rodeo. And as Queen of the Morrow County Fair and Rodeo Court, she has done a lot of reminding lately. The appearances began the first week in May at Arlington and will continue through the Pendleton Round-Up in September. The luncheons, banquets, parades and rodeos don't leave much time for Queen Mary Anne to do much rodeo gaming of her own. "Sure I miss it," she said. "I've been involved in rodeo beginning with Pee Wee events and continuing up through last year's Junior Rodeos. But this year I just can't fit it into my schedule." ' Although her Court activities don't allow her the time to compete, she enjoys her new role as publicist for the summer schedule of events. "It's a big responsibility. I'm the one who gives the talks and makes a lot of the decisions for the group," she said. Mary Anne has enough experience with various Courts to know which decisions to make. She was a Princess on the 1975 Morrow County Fair and Rodeo Court and was also a Princess on the 1973 Umatilla Sage Riders Court. In the fall, Mary Anne plans to return for her second year of college at Blue Mountain, where she is majoring in physical education and hopes to eventually teach at the high school or junior high level. Last year, the 1976 Riverside High graduate commuted to the Pendleton campus from her Irrigon home. She has spent all of her 19 years on her parents' 160-acre cattle-breeding ranch and says she has no real desire to leave the Irrigon area. "Our family has traveled around the country on vacations, but this is where I was raised and I'll probably stay here," she said. "I've noticed a big change in the area in the last few years," Mary Anne said. "It keeps getting bigger, but it's still home." A visit to the ranch shows there are plenty of reasons to hold her attraction. The shaded house is located less than a mile from the Columbia River, with open spaces in every direction. Roaming somewhere on the ranch is Mary Anne's registered quarter horse, Danzy Bay. That's the horse she rides in the parades because "he's used to it," but she's also grooming a two-year-old colt, also a quarter horse, which Mary Anne hopes to develop into another rodeo horse.

Queen Mary Anne's busy schedule seldom allows her time to pursue a favorite hobby roping. Mary Anne keeps plenty of irons in the fire to assure there's never a dull moment. At Riverside, she was active in sports, the National Honor Society and the cheerleading squad. She has been a member of the Umatilla Sage Riders for several years and participated in 4-H horsemanship for 10 years. She still tries to find time for her favorite hobbies which include tennis, swimming, dancing and roping. She even has her own roping arena set up near the barn, but admits that her roping practices have been a bit neglected as of late. With the schedule she maintains, that's easily understood. passes daughter, Leona Wehling, of Seattle; her mother, Leona Hosfelt, of Portland; and nine grandchildren.

Burns said the proposed zone change is consistent with the state-wide efforts of LCDC to preserve agricultural areas. The current development problems were precipitated by a 1974 zoning change which placed virtually all of the Irrigon surrounding area in the one-acre designation. Burns said the change was in conflict with the county's 1971 Comprehensive Plan but he noted at that time the docu ment was regarded as little more than a "housekeeping measure." A more substantial version of the Comprehensive Plan is currently in the works and Burns said a tentative com pletion date is set for July, 1979, depending on the avail ability of state funding.
