TWO The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Ore., Thursday, Ocotber 6, 1977
Sifting through
the TIMES&
While hunters from other areas poured into Heppner for
the first week of deer season, city leaders were kept occupied
by problems of their own, this week in 1967.
The Times reported that Heppner's recently passed
zoning ordinance was causing some difficulties both in its
interpretation and administration.
"The zoning ordinance 'took it on the chin' from P.W.
Mahoney, city attorney, and Councilman David McLeod as
discussion came up when the council sought an answer to the
question of whether to allow a resident permission to park a
large trailer on a lot outside the designated trailer park."
"In the course of the discussion councilmen made it clear
that they welcome improvements to the city even though
they might not be up to the letter of the ordinance and might
require variances or amendments. Mahoney declared the
city will deter improvements until the present ordinance is
revoked."
After tossing the issue back and forth for a while, the
council decided to take no action towards abandoning the
ordinance.
An attraction coming into Heppner a decade earlier was
a lot less obtrusive than the hunting hoardes but probably
drew more double takes from the locals.
A Union Pacific contraption known as a Hy-Rail car
visited Heppner during the week for a line inspection. The
stock model 1957 station wagon rolled down the tracks fitted
with four hydraulic rail wheels as well as the standard
rubber and according to the Times, "at least one person
driving down the highway below town nearly ran off the road
watching the unusual vehicle."
Speaking of rolling machines, the 1957 edition of the
Heppner Mustangs got off to a fast start behind the running of
Duane Alderman and the passing of Tom Driscoll as Heppner
downed McEwen 25-13.
This week in 1947, the Times reported a county school
enrollment of 859 a little more than half of this year's total.
Heppner grade school held the largest student body with 270
while rural grade schools in Pine City and Hardman counted
10 and 14 students, respectively.
A Morrow County farming contingent traveled to
Spokane this week in 1937 to express their approval of
continued federal crop control legislation.
George N. Peck, A.H. Nelson, Henry Smouse and Frank
Saling attended the meeting along with county spokesman E.
Harvey Miller. Farmers from a three-state area converged
on Spokane for the Senate Sub-Committee on Agriculture
hearings.
"The first glimmer of dawn was breaking over a gray
world, when a curious whistle, a long pipe and then a short
one, in the roadside a little way ahead brought Archie to a
halt. He drew his gun from his pocket and stood perfectly
quiet. In a few seconds the whistle was repeated and Archie,
grown suddenly bold, checked an impulse to fly and
imitated the whistle.
"A man rose from behind a stone wall on the right and
walked toward him. It was the first meeting of Archie and the
Governor." So goes the opening passage of Meridith
Nicholson's serial, "Blacksheep " which appeared in the
Times pages this week in 1927,
