didn't giTto no on to state glory, but they certainly provided a
series of good evenings of sport for members of their
community during the regular season and the playoffs.
Along with the basketball tourney, the delightful high
school ploy, the moving and Installing of the huge girders on
, the high Willow Creek Bridge, the Sunday receptions
honoring golden-weds Florence and Comet t Green and
newly-weds Dee Dee and Kevin Chick, the Monday evening
Chamber of Commerce Banquet and the Tuesday evening
Tri-County Choral Music Festival at the high school, recent
days have surely been activity filled.
Ski many folks have taken themselves out on Balm Fork to
watch the excitement of the bridge and dam construction.
Bob Lowe is one of the most regular hillside
superintendents-he is often assisted by friend Jack lxyd, As
the huge bridge girders were moved through town, many
were especially fascinated by the little back-end vehicles and
their drivers.
When family members and former neighbors in the
Willamette Valley ask me "What do you find to do in
Ueppner?" I just feel like telling them there are very few
dull, unprogrammed days In this lively, busy community. In
fact, it is a rather rare day or evening when there are not
several meetings or activities scheduled.
Next week will have its bright, green Wednesday when the
morning festivities will center around the St. Patrick's Day
broadcast and program at Jim Farley's Showroom. A long
list of prizes will be up for grabs. After the program there will
be a brunch gathering at the Elks Lodge, and then everyone
must be getting set to be at St. Patrick's Parish Hall between
5:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. for the annual. Irish Stew and the
special musical entertainment.-
"The Great Big Doorstep" was a different sort of play. It
also was on a different sort of schedule than most Ueppner
High dramatic productions for special reasons. The
production demanded much work from all associated with it
and should have had better community support at its
Tuesday and Thursday performance. The leading players
did remarkable jobs in portraying the Cajun family, the
Crochets.
A small 20-page folder "Oregon Events" (1982, First
Printing) reached Ueppner within the last month. This may
be the first time Morrow County events have been listed in
this state publication. It states that on May 30 the Morrow
County Pioneer Picnic will lie held at the fairgrounds, that on
August 21-24 the County Fair and on August 27-29 the Morrow
County Fiodeo will be held here, It also lists the Boordman
Harvest Festival for September 11 and 12. This folder is a
publication of the Oregon Department of Transportation and
Travel Information office in Salem and is widely circulated.
Perhaps the Irish Stew dinner of March 17 could be added to
the schedule another year, A few of these pamphlets are
available at the Hob Harris Keal Estate office on Heppner's
Main Street.
The lleppner-Morrow Chamber of Commerce is striving to
build better communication between the various areas of this
county The Pot of Gold Banquet last Monday was, hopefully,
the first annual banquet at which an outstanding business or
governmental speaker would come to address people here.
This year's speaker was a close neighbor, Earl Pryor, a
Condon rancher who has become well known in the state and
notion bfenuse of his rise to top positions in wheat
organizations
Many Chamber of Commerce organizations across
America have for many years honored outstanding citizens
of their communities for their volunteer efforts, The naming
of Jerry Peck of ttoardman and Theta Lowe of Ueppner as
first citizens proves that careful work was done by the
Honors and Awards Committee Many citizens turned in
suggestions about whom should be honored. Each name was
carefully considered. The fact that one winner came from the
north end of the county and one from the south was most
pleasing.
Most everyone is very delighted with the choice of Jerry
and Theta as they are two persons very deserving of county
recognition and praise for their hours and years of volunteer
service. We sincerely congratulate each of them.
