How Heppner changed during last Friday night. All day
Friday, the incoming hunter traffic peaked. Main Street
became like Broadway no place to park, the gasoline
pumps all had long lines of RVs and pickups waiting for
, servicing. Those of us who live on roads leading to the
mountains could hear much movement of traffic during the
night, too.
However, by daylight on Saturday, Sept. 30, when deer
hunting began, Heppner was an almost deserted village.
Main Street provided a fine choice of parking spaces and the
weary gas pumps and their attendants were, I imagine,
" relieved to have their business slowed down.
I didn't trek to the mountains but heard reports from
friends such as "There were even more hunters per mile in
the John Day area than here" and "The number of hunters
per legal deer was up, but the number of deer per hundred
hunters was down."
My weekend traveling took me west on a rather quiet 80N
Saturday to attend the wedding of my number-one Peake
niece, Tracy Marie, in Portland. After an evening and night
of festivities with my brother's family, I drove home Sunday
on a busier highway, After I left Arlington I met occasional
pickups decorated with antlers and a rare two rigs that had
more than one visible hunting trophy.
As I changed necessities from one handbag to another
before leaving home, I noted several bits of paper with notes
about events that I had intended to share via this column
much earlier, but somehow let get buried in the bottom of my
old purse.
Early in September the fine ladies of the Rhea Creek
Grange had given their third day of mending during 1978 to
the Pioneer Memorial Hospital. As has been their custom for
some years they met at Emma Drake's home with their
needles, thimbles and portable electric sewing machines and
worked diligently before and after a delicious spaghetti
luncheon prepared by Emma's daughter Claudine Warren.
It was about two weeks ago that Dr. Tibbies, that skilled
fisherman, brought some super-tasty trout to my door. What
a great treat for this fish lover.
On Sept. 25, a group of old friends of Blanche Boulden
Crouch, who formerly taught here while her late husband
Rev. Lester Boulden was pastor of the Methodist Church,
was honored at an afternoon gathering in Ida Farra's home.
Blanche and her second husband Gene Crouch live in
Coquille, and they brought special greetings' to friends here
from Rev. and Mrs. Ed Cutting whose church they attend.
The Crouches are taking an extensive look around the U.S.
and will go as far as Florida before returning to Coauille.
Now and then I see a local house that has been
tremendously upgraded so beautifully improved. Perhaps
you too have noticed the large Water Street house at the
corner of North Minor which Randy and Bernice Lott have
worked over so completly. I understand it was formerly the
Humphery Home, the residence of the pharmicists who
pre-dated the Murray Druggists. It had been terribly
neglected as the years passed, but it is now again a place of
beauty. Dr. and Mrs. Lee Hazen and their daughters are its
first post-restoration tenants.
I understand that this week national attention is being
focused on one of the greatest of youth organizations, the
Extension Service's 4-H. My three children and I were active
in 4-H in Clackamus and Benton Counties, and when I came
here I found that my step-children Bill and Karla had gained
much more from Morrow County 4-H. It seems to me that this
county has been most fortunate in having a fine group of
professional and volunteer leaders who have inspired the
youth here to outstanding achievement. It is also so fortunate
that the organization has fine camping facilities at Cutsforth
Park.
As I am typing this column, bright morning sunshine is
streaming through the east-facing windows of my
kitchen-office. I hope it is foretelling a happy week and that
the usual, annual reports of hunting accidents will be few and
far between.
It is so good to know that the wheat harvest has at last
been about completed. When I could get to my Saturday
newpaper's report on Heppner High's football game of last
Friday night, I was sorry to learn of the over-time loss to
Weston-McEwen. It hurts to spoil an unbeaten record but
the loss could be the impetus to further achievements.
The very sad news of this past week has been the sudden
death of His Holiness Pope John Paul I. That amazingly
gentle, frail, very understanding man was so instantly
beloved by all Christians throughout the world. Such great
expectations were held for his reign which so unfortunately
became so very brief.
