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.
