FOUR The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, June 29, 1978
with .1 ustine Weatherford
It was nice to have Elsie McDaniel Leathers telephone to
give me some items about the recent Hardman Community
reunion. The McDaniel family had charge of the gathering
this year, and they appreciated the large attendance from
various parts of Oregon and Washington.
Honored guests included Gene and Fay Ferguson, now of
Hermiston, who celebrated their 55th wedding anniversary
and who led off the dancing to the tune of the Anniversary
Waltz. Oldsters who attended were Mabel Howell, Spray;
Ethel Robinson, Hardman, and Carl Cramer, Hermiston. Mr.
Cramer was the oldest person present, and he danced almost
every dance.
Next year Wayne and Ethel Leathers of Monument will
be chairpersons for the reunion of families who hold the
formerly thriving Hardman very close to their hearts.
A busload of senior citizens enjoyed the tour of the
Whitman Mission near Walla Walla on Tuesday, June 27,
which was arranged for them by the Heppner Soroptimist
members. Speaking of senior citizens, some very special
people have just turned 90, or will very soon I am thinking
of Evelyn Farrens, Heppner and Zetta Brosnan, Lena.
A group of her friends arranged a farewell luncheon in
honor of Judy Gochnauer last Thursday at the West of
Willow. The Gochnauer family has been an active part of this
community for almost 12 years thev will be missed and are
wished the best in their new location.
Just as summer officially arrived last week Wednesday,
our warm weather left us temporarily, I hope. That day was
the longest daylighted day of the year, but by Sataurday how
the daylight had shortened it seemed to get dark so early
that evening.
The custodians at cutsforth Park are telling a funny story
about a traveler who had such a hard time locating the park.
He asked around Heppner how to get to HEPPNER DEPOT
and could not get any directions at all for quite some time.
Then someone remembered that railroad-lover Bob Lowe
had affixed the old depot sign to the building at the park and
told the fellow that where he wanted to go was the county's
Cutsforth Park which he would reach by driving up Willow
Creek.
This week the first summer storyhour was held at the
public ' library at 10:30 Monday morning. There will not be a
story hour on July 3, but after that they will continue through
July and through the first two Monday mornings in August.
It seems to me that the Main Street City Park is getting
more use this year than it has formerly. That is good! It is a
bit sad that some of the users can't find the trash
recepticles usually on Monday the park lawn is well littered
with paper wrappers, cans and bottles.
Lots of people are anxious for Hager park's development
to proceed. We understand that the plans call for tennis
courts, playground equipment, a small ball field, etc. '
During my granddaughter Anita's just-ended, two-week
visit, I watched parts of several of the Little League evening
baseball games at the field on the Fairgrounds. It was
pleasing to see the young lads and their coaches and officials
doing such good job with our great summertime game. I
observed several different teams and couldn't pick a
favorite; however, most of the rooters in the small
grandstand certainly had favorites. The boys' uniforms all
looked neat and clean and their sponsor's names stood out
across their upper backs.
Have you watched the crowds of youngsters using the
city swim pool? We understand that the town swim team is
already competing. The coach, Phil Oaks, came to the town
library to order a book about water games from the ts'e
library. He seems very dedicated to his work, and we expect
that his team will do well, as the swim teams have done in
former years.
Surely no one can miss noticing several changes taking
place in Heppner's business sector. The new Morrow County
Abstract and Title Co. Inc. Abrams, Kuhn, Spicer Building
will soon be ready for occupancy. The repainted corner real
estate office stands out on the laundromat corner.
This coming weekend, I believe, the Kinzua workers will
enjoy a four-day holiday. They will not work Saturday,
Sunday, Monday or Tuesday, but will be on their jobs the next
four-day block from Wednesday through Saturday. That
sounds like such a good plan for incorporating a Tuesday
holiday it might be good for other business firms. I bet city,
county, state and federal employees would enjoy that
arrangement, too.
By now the shocking news that two doctors are leaving
has cooled off somewhat. More of us have reasoned why
some young, ambitious, medical persons might choose to
work elsewhere so they could associate with more advancing
professionals and could have advantages such as fine
research laboratories and the latest equipment that it is
rather impossible to have in this small community.
However, many of us believe that our community and
small hospital offer some advantages that larger cities and
hospitals can't offer such as a great variety of experiences
doctors probably would not have where specialization is
dominant our beautiful county has charms that are hard to
match in many other locations.
We will greatly miss Dr. Carpenter and Dr. Diehl, but do
wish them good luck and we hope they will carry away
some good'memories of the time they have spent here.
We so anxiously hope that other doctors will be coming to
this county soon.
