FOUR The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, August 9, 1979 With .lustiuo U eatherford ) At the Sheriff C.J.D. Bauman Appreciation Day dinner last Sunday, it seems that I was hearing stories of this hero's good deeds on every side. The more than 200 who attended wanted to exchange many happy memories of Clarence's long tenure as the county's "greatest sheriff." What a week this is for politicians to visit our area. Today, Oregon Sen. Bob Packwood will talk with a group at lunch at the West of Willow; tomorrow, Friday, our U.S. Rep. Al Ullman also will be here to meet with folks at lunch at the West of Willow. On next Sunday, August 12, five northeastern Oregon counties will host Gov. Victor Atiyeh along with Dr. Robert Voy, new chairman of the Oregon Republican Party and State Reps. Jack Duff, Bill Bellamy and Bob Brogoitti at Emigrant Springs State Park. Today is sort of what may be a "Do or Die" day for voting on our hospital budget levy. To many of us this seems such an urgent matter. We can't imagine living here without the hospital. We hope that it will be continuing in a more effective manner, with updated equipment, with an enlarged staff, with more space. We know the matter of its growth and improvement will be costly, but we don't believe there is a more worthy community investment. Last Saturday Helen Currin accompanied me to Yakima where we met my oldest grandson, Scott Haberlach, a very blond 11-year-old, and his mother and stepfather. Before our noon meeting, we had several hours to look around town. We strolled through the spacious downtown Yakima Mall, made a quick stop at a Saturday yard sale, and were interested in the half dozen old-time autos we noticed on the streets (there must have been an historic car collectors' gathering going on there.) After lunch we loaded Scott and his suitcases and his bicycle and headed for Heppner. We stopped at two fruit stands and bought a few potatoes, tomatoes, several melons and a few onions but didn't find the peaches that Helen wanted. Much of the wheat harvest seems to be over and the fruit picking is moving along in the fertile Yakima Valley. We learned at first hand that most of the gas stations are closed in Washington on Sunday. We only spotted one open in Yakima and another in Prosser. We wondered how folks could manage with so few stations functioning? After we crossed back into Oregon we weren't counting, but our state seems better serviced than our neighboring state to the north. This is the week that Jane Rawlins, Heppner High English Department head, leads her annual expedition to the Shakespearean Festival at Ashland. I have so enjoyed going along with the group in years past. This year I had a taste of Shakespearean history at Stratford-on-Avon, had a look about Ashland in July, and am busy now trying to be a "working grandmother". I am thinking of the great plays in Ashland that I am missing and often wish I were able to be two places at once, such as, in Heppner and at Ashland. Next week, for Friday, August 17, I have noted on my calendar "take exhibits to the Fair." If everyone participates, then everyone really enjoys our good Morrow County Fair. By this time, hopefully, you will have studied the fair booklet and have perhaps met the new Secretary-Treasurer Nancy Bruch. You must appreciate the time and effort your neighbors, Fair and Rodeo Board members Virginia Grieb, Paul Hisler, Floyd Jones, Ron Currin and Pete Richards, contribute. . The Fair Committee members are: Harold Peck, Cliff Williams, Marvin Clarkson, Gary Grieb, Ruth McCabe, Mildred Rauch, Phyllis Piper, Virginia Peck, Bill Helphenstine and Delpha Jones. They look for your participation and welcome your comments. You should understand that on the four days that admission is being charged, August 18, 19, 20 and 21, you may enter by wearing a season button ($2.50) or by paying 75 cents each day. Pre-schoolers are to be admitted free; 4-H and FFA members will have special passes, and Senior Citizens may obtain admission passes at the Heppner Neighborhood Center. Separate prices are to be charged for Family Fun Night (5 p.m. until midnight, Saturday, August 18) and for the Rodeo shows and dances. Rodeos are set for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, August 24, 25 and 26, with the big Main Street Parade coming at 10 a.m. on Saturday, August 25. It always seems like this county is more united at Fair and Rodeo time than at most other times of the year. It is such a good time to have visitors and to really become acquainted with new people and with older residents one does not see every day. tfVvu,.... ..v.v Mi Holly Hobbie Jewelry "LANG She's always been a little gem, nowshes jewelry.
