EIGHT The Heppner Gaiette-Tlnies, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday. January 28, 1982 Around About By Justine Weatherford After several weeks of constantly hearing about Super Bowl Sunday on the air and reading about it in almost every print media, the super-hype really got heavy the last few days before the tremendous contest in the Silver Dome of icy Pontiac, Michigan. The publicity barrage definitely paid off commercials on TV during the broadcast of the event brought super prices, millions in Mexico and Canada joined the multi-millions here in the U.S. in viewing direct boradcasting of this sell-out world championship event. I watched the entire four hours from the opening through the 20-0 first half and to the more exciting dramatic final moments. Maybe you read of the possible impact of the game on Wall Street where some analysts were saying "If San Francisco 49'ers win, it will be a favorable portent for stock prices. If on the other hand, the Cincinnati Bengals prevail, a continued bear market may be in store" (from the Sunday Oregonian, JatK 24, 1982). Since TV was brought to this community through the efforts of Winn Crist and others the lives of young and older . folks have surely been changed. We older ones may reflect that we are glad it wasn't around during our school days competing with our reading and studying time. When I was first told by pupils that "I study better when the TV is on." I couldn't buy the notion, and I still don't buy it. Guess I have a really one-track mind the eyes and ears that feed my mind need to be focused on only one thing at a time. My favorite channel (listed as channel 10, but actually channel 12 here) is P.B.S. Several weeks ago I mentioned that the 13-part BBC series "Life on Earth" promised much interest and excitement. Now I have viewed the first two installments of this insightful documentary, which is actually a college level course. Its photography is most outstanding and the chronological narrative is easily understood by even those without scientific backgrounds, like me. Each weekly episode is worth watching even if one can't stay with the series. Why not give it a try on Tuesday or Sunday evening? That's enough for now about TV which fills so many hours of so many lives these days. Every parent feels pride over the success of a child. Grandmother Snoda Blake is feeling proud of two members of her family who have achieved recent success. Her son Darrell Blake, who had all of his public education in Heppner before going off to the U. of 0. has recently been promoted to the head spot at the State Funds Accident Insurance office at Clackamas. He and his wife Ardith and their two children, who are both students at O.I.T. in Klamath Falls, will soon be making their home near his new work. Snoda 's granddaughter, Paula Heinrichs, a 1980 graduate of Heppner High, now a sophomore at Portland Community College, was on the President's List of noteworthy students last year and this year has qualified for the honor roll for her fall work. Not only Paula's grandmother Snoda and her parents, the Paul Heinrichs feel happy about her success, her former teachers and friends in the community here are also delighted. Because I was asked to gather some facts about Mary McCoy, I had a most enjoyable visit with this wife of Heppner's newest physician. I learned that Mary is Danish, that she lived in Brazil much of her childhood, that she "fell in love with Oregon during the seven years that she taught English in Grants Pass" and that she is very happy to be living in Heppner now. When I gathered some facts about the activities of the Morrow County Gem and Mineral Society and learned that the group will be visiting Plush, Oregon, I had to learn more about that spot. The meager information I have about Plush doesn't make it sound too plushy. The community northeast of Lakeview and near the western edge of Hart Mountain holds one business building, a combined store, gas station and post office and there are a few homes nearby. Because I had such a wonderful experience visiting the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge near Frenchglen last year with Steve Brownfield's Field Experience class, I am thinking of asking the Rockhounds if maybe I can join them for their projected fieldtrip. In last week's column I told readers about Bouapeth Thongdy coming to share my home. I wrote "Because she is needing to work extra hard at learning a completely new language, she is studying diligently." Now I wish to say that sentence is not the whole story about Bouapeth 's studying. In all Oriental cultures scholarship is revered. All scholars, teachers, doctors and other professional people are greatly respected. As you might know, this is the time of the 4,680th celebration of the Chinese New Year. Perhaps when our country lives about 4,450 more years, scholarship will mean more to some folks here who don't value it too much now. Bouapeth is eager to prepare herself for hospital work. In all of the Orient and in the Middle East and other far parts of the world the majority of medical doctors are female. In our country an increasing number of women are becoming trained for medical careers and for other professional work. It is thrilling to me to see a young person working eagerly to prepare for a field of work which he or she really likes.
