FOt'R-Thf Heppner Gaiette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, May 17, 1982 Around About By Justine Weatherford The graduation ceremonies at lone and Heppner High schools brought many people to South Morrow this last weekend. These programs were very pleasing; each school used slide projections showing its graduates. These informal pictures accompanied by narration were new and interesting additions to the usual ceremonies. It was thrilling to hear the, announcements that the outstanding students at each school were being acknowledged by so many scholarships and grants. It seems to me that the student speakers, the salutatonans and valedictorians and others, were perform ing especially capably this year. Visitors at my home on Saturday were Lela (Briedenbach). Peterson and her husband Ron, from Payette, Idaho, who along with members of three generations of her family had come to Heppner to celebrate Lela's brother John's graduation. Lela and her husband are employed in Payette where they are starting to buy a home. Along with the graduations, another big event of the weekend was the 80th birthday party for Orville Cutsforth that was held on Sunday's beautiful afternoon. Many friends and most members of the extended Cutsforth family from far and near came to show their love and appreciation to Orville. His sister Maude Pointer, all of his children and their mates, many grandchildren and great-grandchildren , too, gathered to make the party a tremendous success and to wish O.W. many more birthday celebrations. A few folks went farther into the mountains than Cutsforth Park last weekend. I hear that Glen Ward broke a trail into Penland Lake recently and that Eleanor and Tom Gonty drove into the Gonty's cabin there on Saturday. Many families enjoy that lake which was created because Orville Cutsforth had the vision and energy and know how to see that it was built. During last week, I met one afternoon with a group of women, called together by County Historical Society leader Delpha Jones, who are especially interested in beginning to write down various stories of historical interest about this county. Several of the ladies have good starts on unusual stories. The middle part of last Wednesday, along with other senior citizens, I really enjoyed the lunchtime musical program put on by Ione's Cathy Barker, pastor of the lone United Church of Christ. On Thursday, a seven -person group from the Heppner Morrow Chamber of Commerce visited the luncheon meeting of the Boardman Commercial Club. I had not stopped in Boardman for a long time and could see several changes taking place there. Everyone seemed excited and pleased with the new weekly paper, the Boardman Enterpise, which had just published its third edition. Big plans were being made for the celebration of July 4 in that river community. ince the rebuilding project started on the south section of the Bombing Range Road, I have made eight trips (four each i to our north county, and I have traveled three different.

Story and Photo by MARY ANN CERULLO Kris Donaldson, an American Field Service student from Australia, who attended and graduated from Heppner High School this year, presented her country's flag to John Murray, student body president, as a symbol of good will. The flag was presented at an Awards Assembly at the school last Monday, May 17. The flag was given to Donaldson by her local government before she left the country, to present to the high school.

Lions to sponsor dessert-theater All proceeds will benefit the way) alternate routes. First, when 1 drove to Cheney, I chose to take the designated detour which didn't seem to take too long but which was a trifle dusty. Then when I rode with Lynnea Sargent to Irrigon, she did not turn eastward at Cutsforth Corner but continued north along a route that also included gravelled stretches. The Extension spring bustrip detoured via lone where we turned east and rode on pavement all the way. Last Thursday I enjoyed riding to Boardman with "Lucky" Felt and John Maas via the designated detour. My neighbors. Bill and Margee Myers, traveled to the Malhuer Wildlife Refuge last weekend. They were part of the group of us who were disappointed when this spring's BMCC hip to the refuge was cancelled. The Myers said they saw fewer birds and lots more water there than we saw last year. For the second year, the children of the United Methodist Sunday School have performed an interesting ritual on a May Sunday. They released helium-filled balloons containing the Bible verses they had memorized. Each child was given one balloon for each verse memorized, which contained that child's name and the verse. Last year the rain dampened the children, their balloons and their supporting congregation, but last Sunday was a great day for balloon releasing and the , many colored rubber circles quickly rose to great heights and were soon invisible. They positively demonstrated that the prevailing winds at that time were blowing from southwest toward the northeast. The out-going Sunday School Superintendent, Joy Krein, has included this event along with other interesting, exciting activities that the devoted teachers have arranged for their lively Sunday morning classes, beginning with three-year-olds and including sixth graders. Although I do not foresee traveling to Scandinavia, I have really enjoyed seeing parts of these northern hemisphere countries vicariously because of the descriptions shared by Mary Goheen who recently made a special tour around and about that part of the world. Mary was invited to be a passenger on the maiden voyage of the Lindblad Tour's Motorship POLARIS. Mary is surely one of the greatest world travelers now living in Heppner. Many of us remember her mother, the late Clara B. Gertson, who did considerable traveling, too. Since this is the last week of school for students, we think activities will be slowing as many people become involved with summer work schedules and possible vacation plans.
