Events...
Birdine
The excitement, challenges,
and events of the county fair
have now become a memory
for all who participated, and
4-H moves on to thoughts of a
new year ahead. But before
we close the book on that
important event in the 4-H
year, I would like to share the
contents of a brief note I found
on the seat of my car late one
evening as I started home
from the fair. ..I think it said a
lot.
"Dear 4-H Leader, Judges,
4-H Committees. ..Thank you
for helping us 4-H'ers on
sewing & cooking, etc. We all
appreciate it! Thank you!"
The note was not signed,
except for "Love.. .all 4-H'ers"
and it was written by a young
member, as evident by the
handwriting. To me, it is a
great feeling to know that the
members do appreciate all
that leaders and others do for
them throughout the year.
That's 4-H!
State Fair Reports
More Morrow 4-H'ers than
ever before have trekked off to
Salem to participate in events
at the big State Fair this year.
I saw them everywhere
around the fair grounds,
participating and just enjoy
ing the sights of the fair. Also
much in evidence were Mor
row FFA members, there to
participate in events special to
them, along with their ad
visors. The outreach of the 4-H
program is evident, as kids
from Morrow County im
mediately identify those from
other counties they have met
at summer school, camp, and
other multi-county events.
Reports are coming in on
exhibits sent down to state
fair, as well as those who are
there participating, and Mor

Planners deny
zoning request
The Morrow County Plan

denied an application by
Dallas Wilson, Boardman, for
a zone change from Farm to
Farm Residential for a 3.5
acre tract of land in the
Boardman area.
An accompanying applica

dwelling on the same property
was also denied.
In making his application to
the commission, Wilson said
the property is not suited for
irrigation due to the slope. He
said the area could best be
used for residential develop

Local author
tells family
story
By Justine Weatherford
An K8-page book "A Certain Time. ..A Special Place" is the
latest publication by a Morrow County author. The new
author is Lexington ranchwife and Heppner teacher, Lucile
Urey Peck.
Her family chronology relates the story of her husband
Kenneth Peck's historic family and of the growth and
development of their farms in Morrow County during the
past century.
The author handles her narrative material from an
impersonal viewpoint, writing as if the land itself is telling
the story of what has taken place on it, of the non-humans and
humans who have trod on it and come to dwell there and of
their enterprises.
The first white man of consequence was Clinton North
Peck who came from Michigan. His story is very interesting.
The land where he settled is known as Clarks Canyon which
was named after a Clark who settled at the mouth of the
Clarks Creek where it flows into Willow Creek in 1864. The
Kenneth Pecks still live on this land. Other Pecks are also
farming in the area.
Lucile dedicates her book to her husband Clinton Kenneth
Peck whom she married in 1943 when he was an officer
aboard the USS Enterprise. They settled on the Peck farm
logether after the war's end in 1945. Kenneth now farms with
his son, Stephen Kenneth Peck.
Lucile and Kenneth also have a daughter, Martha Lucile
Peck Andrews, and now both Steve and Martha have brought
them grandchildren. Near the ending of Lucile's book she has
included a lovely poem "Windy Day" which was written by
Martha about the time she was graduated with many honors
from Heppner High School. Martha and her husband, Jim
Andrews, are both Portland architects.
Lucile states that she had long wanted to write this story
and only recently, when she was on leave from her public
school teaching, could she find the time to set it down. It was
her sort of special Bicentennial Year effort. Six trial copies
were printed in 1976 before Christmas, and now the East
Oregonian has printed 100 copies, which Lucile is offering for
sale. This book has been copyrighted and carries a library of
Congress number..
The attractive, golden-covered "A Certain Time. ..A
Special Place" includes 30 pictures and diagrams and
concludes with a careful bibliography and index.
If you enjoy local history this is definitely a volume you
should add to your Morrow County shelf. I could not put it
down until I had read and enjoyed its every page. I think I
shall be refering to it every now and then from now on.
A few of these books are being offered to the public,
at the Peck's home, at Turner, Van Marter and Bryant and al
the Heppner Public Library. Mrs. Peck presented an
autographed copy of the book to the library where it will be
circulated A
