This is being written before the county budget and the
hospital levy election results are computed. Sometimes I feel
like asking any person who finds fault with any level of
government "Do you vote in every election? If not why not?"
I feel strongly that voting regularly and being willing to serve
on public committees and boards are duties of all citizens of
this democracy. Only those who carry out these duties have
any right to complain or to expect any favors from their
communities.
Serving on public boards takes much time and
energy and often rates no appreciation just constant
gripes. I found the last Thursday evening executive session of
the hospital board very helpful. I came away satisfied that
the board and the county court are carefully considering all
suggested solutions to the medical situation. Some friends
who have completed service on boards say "What a relief to
have my term end!" Others seem to thoroughly enjoy the
experience and can continue for several terms.
As you all must know it is the state government and the
federal government with their grant systems and medicare
and constantly changing laws and regulations, along with the
big health insurance companies, that really run all hospitals
these days. I believe that there are only three other county
hospitals left in Oregon they are vanishing like the little red
schoolhouses of yore.
Readers who are attuned to the class of '68 might note
that our editor, Rick Steelhammer, joined his '68 Prineville
High classmates last weekend for their 10-year reunion.
Early last week the Charles Seivers family from Perris
Island, California, visited in Heppner. They came here to
investigate the possibility of buying ome farm land and
sought assistance from Heppner broker, R.W. Harris. They
own Charolais cattle.
This family's base is on Guam, and like their fellow
Guamanians they are probably descendants of early Spanish
sea rovers and Indonesian peoples. Guam was ceded to the
U.S. in 1898 after the Spanish-American War; it was declared
a territory in 1950, and the people became United States
citizens.
The Seivers were pleased with this area; they enjoyed
visiting the county museum and Cutsforth Park ; a young son
Charley found the library storyhour delightful especially
the tale of Cuthbert the naughty little goat who was carried
by a huge wind from his familiar, big island to a lonely, little
island.
I finally made my first trip to Hinkle to help Rachel
Harnett get granddaughter Dawn aboard the Amtrak for a
trip homeward. Hinkle is short of glamour. I was interested
in learning that tickets for the train can be purchased at
Carefree Tours in either Hermiston or Pendleton or may be
purchased upon boarding. I also learned that there seems to
be no parking charge for leaving locked cars at Hinkle while
one travels. A one-way ticket to Seattle costs $27.50, which is
not too bad for the 400 plus miles. The train makes brief stops
at The Dalles and Hood River and stays in Portland 10
minutes before moving north.
We had some wai ting time in Hermiston and spent it with
Fay and Gene Ferguson, who both look fine. Gene got on his
cowboy straw hat and rushed off to the Tuesday cattle sale as
Fay admonished him "Not to buy too many cows!" They
seem so comfortable in their double-wide, factory home. Fay
was wearing a lovely embroidered blouse that she had
purchased in Baja California, on one of her recent travels.
The Fergusons regularly attend the senior citizen meals
Tuesday and Thursday noons along with other ex-county
residents who now reside in Hermiston.
Heppner's lawns and gardens have had such a difficult
time during these super-hot weeks when the water system
has broken down several times. It is hoped that we who try to
keep our grounds somewhat green can remember "East is
even and West is odd" meaning that people on the east side
of Main Street can irrigate on even dates and that the
Westsiders lucked out over July 31 and Augustl when two odd
dates were consecutive.
Nostaligia grips some who hated to see "Buzz" Lynch
sell his food and drink establishment. They recall the
pastime his father Erv Lynch operated, which was originally
owned by Cal Sumner, across Main Street up against the 1st
National Bank Building. So, Cal's Place will continue,
however, it is under new owners.
As the heat slowed most of us down, I kept thinking of the
many who are working with their harvests and that
thinking didn't cool me any. Some of my other thoughts were
with the rodeoing family groups who drove and flew to
Huron, South Dakota, for the National High School Rodeo. I
heard that the weather there was cool as the competition
between Heppner's Oregon Stale Champions and the other
winners from around the rest of the U.S. heated up. It is
hoped that this issue will have some results to publish if the
eight who traveled by plane can get reports back here in
time.
I do vote regularly, and so I am again going to
complain but I just don't know exactly whom to complain to
about the many fragments of glass from broken bottles that I
spot all over town. Maybe the city needs an auxiliary to clean
them off the sidewalks and streets. Why can't folks give their
empty bottles to some worthy group that can turn them in for
cash refunds? Why mess up the streets with them and
endanger everyone's tires, our pedestrians and especially
our barefoot kids? Why?

Nursing home picnic attended by 50
The second annual Pioneer
Memorial Hospital Nursing
Home picnic was held at noon
on Saturday, August 5, in the
hospital's front parking lot
under the shade of the trees.
The parking lot was blocked
off and decorated with bal
loons and colorful outdoor
patio tables and umbrellas.
The Heppner Soropotimist
Senior Citizen
Just a few words about the
seniors' new 18-passenger bus
which is to be used throughout
this whole county at Irrigon,
Boardman, lone, Lexington
and Heppner and surrounding
areas. It seems to be taking
quite a while to get the bus in
top operating shape the last I
heard about it was that the
battery seemed dead.
The first tentative tour to
John Day, announced by Paul
W. Jones, was called off
because the bus wasn't yet
ready. That tour may be
rescheduled again. The bus
usage, scheduling, driving and
maintainance will be a big
challenge to the county sen
iors. A transportation commit
tee with Truman Messenger
as chairman is in charge of all
bus-related matters. It is
hoped that handicapped sen
iors and those who can't travel
privately will always be given
preference in bus usage.
Last week's senior news got
transposed a little in one spot.
