FOUR-1 The Gazette-TimeS, Heppner. Oregon, Thursday, July 12, 1979 r " -v y With Justine Ueathei ford Last wee,k I finally received the last of my packages from Germany. ThVy had been opened at New York, and a U.S. Government forhv was inserted which informed me that my six precious cansof liverwurst had been "removed and destroyed" by the U.. Dept. of Agriculture because "wurst from Germany could carry several animal diseases." So for better or wurst we live and learn. Inez Irwin and I certajnly enjoyed a recent Heppner visit with Marsha Lovgren. Wetwo ex-teachers keep saying how wonderful she was to us in London. We know we could not have seen nearly as much so pleasureably without our former pupil teaching us where to go and how to get there. From 6 a.m. on July 4, until 6 p.m. July 8, my friend Ida Farra and I were making a big swing around our beautiful state seeing so much of interest and delight and visiting friends and relatives. The Columbia Gorge was lovely as always; a visit in Portland and another visit at Silverton went well. We ate our carry -along lunVh in the pioneer park along Silver Creek. In Salem, we noted many persons enjoying the park surrounding the sjate capitol. After crossing the Willamette I asked Ida whether she would like to go toward Corvallis through Monmouth or dependence. She quickly replied "Since this is Independence Day, let's go via Independence." We found that little old river town hasn't made the growth that college-centered Monmouth has. I recall the huge hop ranches near Independence" which are gone now. After most enjoyable dining and guesting in the homes of Martha King's sister Barbara Kennedy Ware and brother Dick, and Bud and Helen Kennedy, we departed early on the 5th for the coast. We had Alsea River Chinook salmon and other super goodies for our breakfast at my former Corvallis neighbor's home between Alsea and Tidewater. Then as we drove south on uncrowded Hwy. 101 along Oregon's picturesque Pacific Shore we stopped several times to pick up driftwood and to take snapshots. At Coos Bay we left 101 and went westward to Coquille where we visited with Rev. Ed and Doris Cutting. Although Coquille has a population of about 5,000, the city is almost without a nice park just a little lot with a fireplace and tables behind its large Community Recreation Center. We lunched there before locating the Methodist Church and the parsonage. After a usual delicious meal prepared by Doris Cutting, I drove on through Winston and south to Medford to my son Bill Haberlach's home. Ida stayed in Coquille until Saturday afternoon when the Cuttings brought her to the Senior Residence Plaza at Canyonville where I met them at 3 p.m. Then I rushed we two south to historic Jacksonville and to Ashland. At Jacksonville, there is a tremendous new attraction, a beautifully restored, Victorian mansion, the Jeremiah Nunan House. We were fortunate to get a special tour of this exciting "catalog house" that had been shipped in 1890 in kit form from Knoxville, Tenn,. We learned about its present owners' struggles to restore it and to furnish it most appropriately. There are five beautiful fireplaces and many other exciting features. The assortment of woods used include oak, pine, cherry, fir, walnut and most noteably, bird's-eye pine. This place is a "must see" if you like lovely old homes and antique furniture. At Ashland, in Lithia Park below and behind the Shakespearean Center, we had our biggest laugh. As we were strolling along the lovely duck pond admiring the many female ducks with their clusters of little ducklings, a couple strolled toward us also observing the little ducks huddled under and very close to their mothers. The man said "Oh look those little ones are nursing.!" His wife and Ida and I couldn't help laughing loudly as we thought of the little beaked, egg-born creatures nursing. After a sumptuous Chinese dinner in Medford Saturday night we retired early and were out on our way toward Crater Lake before 5 a.m. Sunday. We got to Union Creek before Beckie's opened at 6 a.m. There we learned that the tourist trade is "way behind" its last year's volume. Following breakfast we went on through the South Gate into Oregon's great National Park. I so enjoyed telling about the super-blue water in the tremendous volcanic crater. Ida couldn't resist playing in the roadside snow. We made the short side-trip into Diamond Lake, too, because Delia McCurdy had said, "You might as well see Diamond Lake, too." Then we came so straight east and then north to the Bend-Redmond-Pilot Butte-Prineville area. The high point of our time in Prineville was a visit with Ola Ruggles in the Ochoco Nursing Home. She was pleased that v,e. popped and said to tell everyone at home in Heppner that she is ftjing to return to her apartment here soon. A phone visit-with my sister-in-law, Edythe Weatherford Newell, brought a plea that we stop at the Eastern Oregon Annual Pioneer Pic'nicMn Julia Henderson Pioneer Park between Service Creek and Fossil. We did that, and we enjoyed part of the afternoon program honoring the 1979 Queen Vada Fitzgerald of Mitchell. We sat with the Weatherfords from OleXand Arlington. Now, we have bankedmore pleasant memories of wonderful Oregon experience, First annual picnic for Local 2916 The first annual picnic for Kinzua Local 2916 will be held July 21 at Isibell Edwards Hall in Fossil starting with a noon potluck dinner followed by live music. Local members should bring a white elephant for sale and their own refreshments.
