Heppner Notes
O lone news
y
J? with .lust
inr
How our county's population boomed over the opening
weekend of deer hunting with guns. During the earlier bow
and arrow season I can't Tecall of hearing about hunters
shooting themselves or other persons but gun hunting news
is that besides the many deer killed, too many humans have
been killed and wounded.
The weather certainly cooperated this year, didn't it?
And Heppner's Mustangs started the weekend nicely, too, by
winning their football game. '
I heard that at one counting there were 200 cars between
Heppner and the 80-North Junction. Still it was a surprise to
me to learn that more than 80 deer were killed before the
season opened accidentally, on county roads. One of our
neighbors tells of having a buck run right into his pickup as
he was driving quite near town. Of course most of these
accidental killings are quickly reported to the authorities and
much of the usable meat finds its way into public-type
freezers. Thus senior citizen diners at Heppner, lone and
elsewhere will be able to enjoy venison during the year.
A new feature this year was the temporary coffee and
snack shop which was set up in the Pete McMurtry
motorhome parked in Cal 's Arco lot. All day Friday and until
two a.m. Saturday, members of the United Nations
Committee of the Odd Fellows and their ladies served
sandwiches, hot dogs and coffee to hungry hunters. The
money netted will go toward the expense of the annual United
Nations Speech Contest. The winners of this contest are sent
off to see the Nation's Capitol and to visit around the U.S.
each summer.
On Sunday the busy Pete and Mary McMurtry, along
with Ed and Adelle LaTrace and Ed and Eleanor Gonty,
traveled across the East-West Road to Ukiah and to the old
LaTrace homestead out of Ritter. They saw hundreds of
camping hunters in the mountains.
After enjoying a picnic lunch, the three couples decided
to return west through the Ditch Creek Burn and found it a
pretty rough route. The LaTrace and Gonty pickups
negotiated the rocks and chuckholes fairly well, but Pete and
Mary high-centered too often in their nice Buick. In fact, it
could be that Pete, who owned and operated the Heppner
Auto Parts for many years, will have to go do some business
with his successors the Bob DeSpains. Anyway, after a
long, bumpy trip, the three couples got their three vehicles
safely back to Heppner on Sunday evening.
That great Soroptimist food sale in front of Central
Market last Friday certainly went well. It was so excellently
timed for some of us who had extra weekend guests.
I've been very slow about discovering the advantages of
Heppner's rather new Mini-Mart beside the Mobil Station.
However our youngest weekend visitor ran out of Pampers
by Sunday afternoon, and his parents were so pleased to find
that they could buy these necessary items there. Another
visitor needed a few items after the hours when our
"regular" stores were closed and he too quickly
appreciated the Mini-Mart.
Les Workinger, a railroading man who spends about two
nights a week here, told me about the big excitement at
Boardman on Sunday. It seems that 10 cars of the O.M.N.
Railroad derailed just east of the old Boardman Depot, now
the lovely home of Rupert and Dorothy Kennedy. The 10 cars
and two cabooses rolled off the tracks and lay badly damaged
right close to the potato packing plants. There were no
injuries, reported.
Les said that much valuable merchandise, which was
badly hurt, was being bulldozed into the Boardman sands. He
felt that the merchandise was well covered by insurance.
Last June we felt pretty sad to have Sam and Pauline
Miller and Jack and Ann Melland leaving here. Now we have
met Ben and Rene Siminoe and Joy and Bob Krein and their
families, the respective replacements. We are certainly
delighted that the U.S. Forest Service and the Oregon- State
Department of Fish and Wildlife sends such nice persons to
our community
As I sign off, on another sunshining morning I am
saddened to see that everything in our garden has really been
frozen. Guess I'll need my garden slaves Lela Breidenbach
and Ron Young soon. It was good that I was able to ship away
lots of green, still unfrozen, tomatoes with my visiting
children last Sunday. My first slave, Ron Forrar, has already
served part of his contracted time very satisfactorily.

Mr. and Mrs. Norman
Nelson and Mr. and Mrs.
Alfred Nelson attended the
Autumn Leaf Festival at
Leavenworth, Wash. last
weekend. This festival is held
annually and is enlivened with
many Austrian dancers and
bands, an open air art festival
in the park, a parade, a play or
musical, and the Northwest
National Loggers competition.
Leavenworth is a small twon
in the mountains and was
slowly dying until a group of
local citizens conceived the
idea of making over the store
fronts to look like an Austrian
village and holding a festival
each season. Now they have
the Autumn Leaf Festival in
the fall, the Festival of the
Lights the first week in
December, a Ski Festival in
January or February and a
Mai Festival in the spring.
