FOUR The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, May 11, 1978 with Justine YYeatherford ) Peck-Hughes wed April 8 Community Art Show in double-ring ceremony reception Friday night Much of the action around town recently has had to do with growing things. It has been taking place at Ansotegui's Green Feed store, at Barb's Plant Seller, around seed packet racks in other establishments and on a big scale at the Hager Park site. At the feed store it is pleasing to be waited on by Cornett Green, the "retired" former proprietor, who is busily helping his successors during the rush weeks with bedding flowers and vegetable plants. It is interesting to see Lee Ansotegui using his skillful hands working with leather at the back of the sales area of the store. We understand that he is very well known for miles around for his care in repairing saddles and other leather articles. The side door to the Dan James home kept swinging all day Friday and Saturday as visitors dropped in to admire Barb's new business. We noted that quite a few of her displayed items had neat little signs saying "sold". Looks like the Seller is off to a fine start. Loads of Anderson earth carpet have passed through town and are now neatly stacked at the Hager Park site. Quite a few citizens have long been concerned about the park's development. They hope to soon understand what is happening, who is involved and how soon this bicentennial gift project will be useable. Personally, I find it always exciting to eat home grown garden stuff. So far I have had a little rhubarb, a sampling of asparagus and some nice volunteer radishes, a happy surprise, from my backyard garden. I find I am, as usual, a bit behind my friends in getting my garden planted. I note that many have plants set out are are covering them at night. I remember one year when I forgot to cover those planted-early tomatoes and had to buy more plants and do my work over. I am still not confident that frost might not strike again before this month ends. That late season snow storm in the Rockies could convince folks east of us to really hold off on their garden planting. Two fine young men are leaving Heppner this week. Jim Summers who so quietly and pleasantly has been news editor of this paper, and who made many friends here last summer helping with the swim team, has departed for his home in Virginia. David Wood, who has been such a regular patron of the library and who has worked at the mill for some years, has moved to La Grande where he is now employed by the Pepsi-Cola Bottling Co. and where he will be furthering his college education at Eastern Oregon State College. I happen to feel instantly acquainted with Editor Jim's replacement here at the paper, Rick Steelhammer. As a youngster in Portland, my parents and his grandparents, Dr. and Mrs. Steelhammer, and their family lived on the same block in the Beaumont District. 1 ... Editor Rick's aunt, Bernice S. Hinshaw, who now lives in Milton-Freewater is one of my longest-time friends and has visited me here several times. Because Rick's parents and others of his family lived at Powell Butte, near Prineville so long, he is very much at home in east-central Oregon, although he confessed to me that he had not visited in Heppner before coming here to join the newspaper. Hopefully our belated springtime has really settled in. I recall what a lovely sort of false spring we had Easter weekend in late March, but oh what cold followed. Now spring projects are really moving. White-haired, dainty Ella Smith is so ambitious and energetic that she has taken on the painting of the walls and woodwork of her apartment in the Lanham Building. She says it is a big help to get away from the paint fumes each night and to rest comfortably in the nearby duplex of her long-time friend Delia McCurdy. Several projects are quickly ' T " moving ahead at the Farra I home while Ida has the help of her visiting U.S.N, petty-offi- -1 cer son Jim. He may have to ' go back to his job to recover j from his vacation in Heppner. i We hope you have all J marked your calendars so that f you will be sure to visit our hospital's open house tommor row. Tea will be served from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m., a film will be shown and CPR will be demonstrated. Have you who walk along the downtown street here noticed broken glass scattered in many places? I have also noticed a few young folks beginning to enjoy going about barefooted. It worries me that they might stumble onto the glass pieces and splinters. The light turnout for the city election last week Tuesday and the general apathy con cerning public affairs has caused the concerned women of the Heppner Branch of AAUW to decide to wage a small campaign to try to promote better voter partici pation in the coming primary election. The swimming pool users, the library's friends, and others who have observed the city's struggles are very pleased that the carefully prepared budget was passed. Hopefully all city needs will be met satisfactorily during the coming year. Patricia Hughes, Heppner, and Mien Peck, Pilot Rock, were married April 8 at All Saints Episcopal Church.
