Doug and Sonia Smith
If you've noticed some work being done
around the Heppner Bowling Alley the past
several days, you're seeing efforts by new
owners Sonia and Doug Smith to enlarge and
upgrade the facilities.
Sonia and Doug, who are in the process of
moving here from their former home in
Vancouver, Wash., started recently on an
ambitious remodeling project for the alley
which will see more eating facilities and an
additional area to the side for electronic
games and pool tables.
Doug, who was in the title insurance
business in Vancouver, says when everything
is done there will be a larger kitchen in the
bowling alley, a new grill and oven, soft and
hard ice cream services and a pop corn
machine.
"We hope to be open for business by
mid-August," says Doug, standing amid
boxes, new equipment and the clutter of
general remodeling at the alley. Outside
workmen have already begun laying bricks
for the new game room.

"Getting back to nature" has been the "in" thing to do
since the era of the 1960's brought us new awareness to the
basic way of life. ...
As a part of this new trend, backpacking became an
increasingly popular sport.
Today, hiking in the 1980's offers us an alternative.
I must admit there's something exhilerating about hiking
over a mountain pass to look down over what seems to be
carpets of evergreen covering the slopes below; or bathing
your face in a clear icy brook, and then settling In for the
night to watch the stars rise over the side of the mountaintop.
And if you're quiet in your camping, perhaps a young doe will
trip across the campsite and curiously wag her stubby tail
just to look you over before bounding up the hillside.
On the other hand, backpacking can be hard work with
forty to fifty pounds on your back and a sudden climb of 600
feet facing you.
All experienced hikers will stress that unless you re in
shape the trip won't be enjoyable. In fact, it may be a health
Jiazard tojhose with heart or breathing problems.
" What's important is to get that heart pumping and your
lungs breathing hard. It would also be wise to work on your
leg muscles and just plain increase your overall endurance.
Of course, methods of warming up for those summer
backpacking trips vary from person to person, but I thought I
would share some of my own techniques. As far as I know,
millions of other folks may be doing it just the same way.
Actually, I'm a little late with beginning this seasonal
ritual. But if you're only planning one trip, I Buggest getting
in shape several weeks in advance.
Being naturally a rather lazy person, I like to start
gradually indoors. So, while the early summer rain pelts
down on a newly planted garden, I begin such exercises as
jumping jacks, running in place, leg stretching, and push
ups.
" breathing to prepare your lungs for that 600-foot climb. Your
heart will also get used to pumping harder, and of course
your legs will tone up.
The leg stretching will also increase your overall
endurance. Push ups, you ask? Well, that's to strengthen the
back and shoulders for all the weight you're going to carry.
Now, there are those who can't be bothered with any of this
inside exercise and gradually build up baloney. Some folks
(like my husband, for instance) will run right out and do the
heavy stuff 'til they drop from exhaustion.
Larry enjoys killing himself over a good hard run up
Heppner's Water Street hill. He also advocates loading up a
knapsack and biking to the beach from Portland. (I
personally think he's crazy.)
I, myself, don't load up a knapsack until I'm ready to try
some day hiking. I pick out an easy trek of two to five miles
and work up from there.
Another thing that's always wise to do is give yourself a dry
run wearing a backpack. Test the shoulder straps at
different lengths. Adjust the belt around your hips.
May I also suggest that if your pack didn't come with a
padded belt, buy one. Very often it is easier to carry the
weight on your hips instead of your shoulders.
I still recall one of my first trips when I didn't have a
padded belt. Most of the weight of the backpack was on my
shoulders. Boy. did I feel top-heavy! On the first day out, we
came to a stream with a log crossing it for a bridge. My
companion scampered across without batting an eye. Then,
my turn, I felt like the Tower of Pisa, leaning all over the
place. Finally, I gave up my pride, got down on my fanny and
scuttled across. So much for female feline grace!
Since you're testing your backpack, why not break in those
new boots? And while your boots are being broken In, so ar.
your feet.
Another part of your body that needs preparation is your
skin. The last thing you need on your second day out, twenty
miles later, is a pair of shoulders too sunburnt to strap the
pack to.
