Alice Abrams spends summer
vacation in Costa Rica
Auctioneer opens trade in
Morrow County
Shots for variety of diseases
available free at clinics
If Alice Abrams is asked to
write an essay on "How I
Spent My Summer Vacation"
when she returns to Hepper
High School this fall, it would
likely make for some interest
ing reading.
The HHS junior is spending
her vacation in Costa Rica, as
part of the Partners of
America program, a group
that hosts exchanges between
North American and Latin
American nations in such
areas as education, trade and
techonology.
Alice has been in Latin
America since June 17, and
will remain there until Aug.
20. She has been staying in the
home of Esmaralda Alfara,
who was the Abram's house
guest and a Heppner High
drop-in for five weeks last
winter.
The Alfara family lives in
the Heppner-sized college
town of Ciudad Quesada. Mr.
Alfara is a craftsman in wood,
and his wife is a florist. Both
are former teachers.
More recently, Alice has
been staying with the
Ramirez family in suburban
San Jose, Costa Rica's capital.
She is attending high school
there, since vacation time in
Costa Rica falls during our
winter season.
She wrote her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Bob Abrams, that
her Costa Rican counterparts
tend to party more than
teenaged Heppnerites. holding
dance parties nearly every
night. Since school starts at 7
a.m. (but ends at noon), "I'm
getting pretty tired," she
wrote.
Although the tropical repub
lic is a long way from the U.S.,
Alice reports meeting a num
ber of Americans during her
stay, from places such as
Kansas, Indiana and Tennes
see. She also reported having
watched "Saturday Night Fe
ver" at a Costa Rican cinema,
cinema.
The Latin American menu
appeals to the Heppner girl,
according to her letters. She
has grown to like the Costa
Rican staple of rice and beans,
making her "a real Tico", the
slang word Costa Ricans use
to describe themselves. A
wide variety of fresh frutis
and vegetables, such as man
goes, sweet lemons, mandarin
oranges and avocados also
add variety to the Costa Rican
mealtime fare.
Alice has made a side trip to
Panama, which has become
Latin America's market bas
ket due to its low prices, and
viewed the Panama Canal.
Needless to say, Alice's
Spanish is improving, which
should make HHS instructor
Gordon Munck pleased.
Two vears ago, Alice took
part in an exchange program
which took her to Nagasaki,
Japan.
Starting an auctioneering
business in the Morrow-Umatilla
County area is Frank
"Sandy" Gross, a graduate of
the Western College of Auc
tioneering in Billings, Mont.
Gross, who assisted with
this year's lone United Churchy
of Christ Auction, as well as
with farm and other auctions
in Morrow County, has been
involved with a farming
operation near Hermiston for
the past 3l2 years. He also
holds an animal science de
gree from Oregon State University.
The 23-year-old auctioneer
is available for work in farm
sales, estates, liquidations,
and livestock production
sales. Gross will donate his
services free of charge to
organizations sponsoring
large fundraising events.
He is a member of the
Oregon and National Auction
eering associations, and is a
licensed and bonded auction
eer. Gross may be contacted
at 567-2947.
Morrow County residents
have a wide range of immuni
zations and other health care
services available free of
charge from the Morrow
County Health Department.
Shots are available for dis-
Archie Padberg in intensive
care at St Anthony's
Archie Padberg, Heppner,
who has been a patient at
Good Shepherd Hospital, Her
miston, was transferred to St.
Anthony's Hospital, Pendleton
where he underwent major
surgery Friday. He is still in
intensive care.
Senior citizens meal site change not final, official tells group
eases including measles, ru
I bella, mumps, diptheria,
whooping cough, tetanus, and
polio. The health department
also conducts free of charge a
hepatitis control program,
tuberculosis testing, allergy
shot monitoring, blood pres
sure checking and monitoring,
and flu shots.
In Irrigon at the County
Office Building, clinic hours
are from 1 to 4 p.m. on the
second and fourth Tuesdays of
each month.
In Lexington, at the Health
Department's office in the
Morrow County school admi
nistration building, clinic
hours run from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
on Fridays. The Lexington
clinic will be close on Aug. 18.
Early Wednesday evening,
July 26, an open meeting of
senior citizens who had at
tended the dinner at the Elks
Club was held in the County
Fair Pavilion. Rollin H. Rey
nolds, human resources and
aging specialist with the East
Central Oregon Association of
Counties came from his Pen
dleton office to dine with the
seniors and to lead the
discussion.
Reynolds said that the
announcement from the Fair
Board meeting that came out
in last week's paper was
"premature and not an official
decision." He wanted to make
certain that all concerned
thorougly understood that it
has not yet been decided
where or when senior meals
may be rescheduled and that
the group is very content with
the arrangement existing with
the Elks Club.
Reynolds also stressed that
Pat Brindle will continue to
direct senior activities in
Morrow County "absolutely
no change is contemplated
we just couldn't get along
without Pat."
It was brought out that 10
per cent of the U.S. population
is now 65 or older. A recent
survey shows that there are
about 1,000 citizens over 55 in
south Morrow County but
that only a small part of the
group is attending the senior
activities.
Reynolds stressed that these
activities foster social interac
tion and alert seniors to
various supportive social ser
vices such as the Homemaker
Program under Sue Jepson
and the Home Nursing Pro
gram under Sheridan Tar
nasky which are directed from
the Heppner Neighborhood
Center.
Help with special transpor
tation, information and refer
ral services, assistance with
social security problems and
tax rebate help are offered. It
was again stressed that the
Heppner Elks had contributed
much to the senior meal
- 1 fit.

program and that all were
pleased with their help.
A discussion about the
timing of the meals and of
possible locations brought out
some needs. Better food
storage and preparation space
is needed. This area has one of
the poorest attendance rec
ords of the 17 senior meal sites
in the ECO AC area. Many
communitites are getting spe
cial buildings with recrea
tional facilities just for senior
Citi7n5
It was emphasized that
senior meals are not a charity
program that they cannot
continue here unless there is
more participation. Approxi
mately 35 usually attend the
dinners here on Tuesdays and
Wednesdays many less than
attend at the other 16 sites.
As the meeting concluded
those attending were urged to
stimulate more participation
which would provide more
donations of meal money here.
They were assured that the
guiding committee here was
diligently considering several
possibilities for the location of
future activities. Most of the
participants spoke out for
keeping these activities close
to the center of Heppner and
are happy with the Elks Club.
Reynolds assured the sen
iors that any decisions would
be made by the majority of the
group members and that no
changes had been determined
presently.
