..- -H '-n ' "- ""N K 4 W FOUR-The Heppner Gasette-Tlnies, Around About By Justine JFeatherford How good it was of the weather system to cooperate with the Pendleton Round-Up, except for wetting the Dressup Parade. Of course many from this county help with the week's activities, participate in the parade td sbpws ard enjoy going to watch the daily contests. How disturbing the heavy rains, damaging extra high water and the three-hour power outage were in this county on Sunday. Many of us were reminded again of how dependent we have become on electric power and how inconvenient we find living without it. Among the many in Oregon who attended the Portland Zoo's Salute to Thailand and to Portland's Asian elephant aggregation were Snon Chindavit and Bouapheth Tbongdy. Snon has many friends in Heppner now and has been most helpful to the Laotian refugees here. He and his American wife, Joan, their three sons and Bouapeth left the Chindavit home in Walla Walla, Wash, at 4 a.m. in order to be at the zoo before 11 a.m. on Sunday. They returned Bouapheth to Heppner Sunday night through the heavy waters along lower Willow Creek. Snon began working with the District Army Corps of Engineers in Walla Walla on Monday morning. He will be missed here, especially by the Thongdys, who have been delighted to have a friend from southeast Asia here during the summer. Next weekend is loaded with activity. On Saturday, Sept. 25, the garden clubs of Northeastern Oregon will hold their Fall District Meeting at St. Patrick's Catholic Church Parish Hall, an event scheduled last spring, which should bring about 100 persons together. Preparations for this event and for the other happenings scheduled for Saturday have taken considerable time and efforts of many persons. The Heppner Soroptimists have scheduled their annual rummage sale for the same day out at the fairgrounds and the Neighborhood Center is having a bake and rummage sale on Friday and Saturday. Two special parties have been announced for Saturday afternoon, the 90th birthday party for Margaret Healy being given by her children at the Bill Gentry home in Heppner, and the Art Dalzell golden wedding celebration in Condon. The Arlington community's annual auction and beef barbecue is also set for Saturday. This Sunday the annual meeting of the Morrow County Historical Society will begin with a potluck dinner at the Lexington Grange Hall at 1 p.m. This year's meeting will have several special features. Folks are asked to bring along , either salads or desserts and money or checks to cover their year's dues to the Oregon State Historical Society and to the county society. One reason the coming weekend is so filled with activities is that it comes as the Round-Up is concluding and before the big rush of hunting begins. Some folks are thinking that if everyone knew about community activities that are schedul ed ahead, that knowledge could be helpful in keeping too many events from being bunched together on the same day. The Bank of Eastern Oregon keeps a big scheduling calendar just inside its inner entrance door. The bank has already positioned a large 1983 calendar there, right under the remaining months of mis year. If organizations could get in the habit of writing in the dates there for scheduled events ahead of time - maybe right after the date is set - the use of this community calendar might be a real help to everyone. Last week the Heppner Garden Club chose the final Yard of ' the Month for 1982. Those responsible for recommending the ' monthly selections have really tried to keep checking on the many nice yards around town. They, like the Garden Club members at lone, have not ever chosen to honor the yard of a club member, although some members' yards are outstand ing. Several worthy yards are not named this growing season, but they will surely be watched next year. On Monday, Sept. 13, at 8 pm. at the fairgrounds, 25 persons attended the first meeting of the Morrow County Fair board since the fair. Board Chairman Ron Currin did an excellent job presiding. The superintendents of various departments and others attending offered a few suggestions for making the fair even better next year. The chairman said it was pleasing "to have this largest attendance ever" and thanked all who helped with the fair and who were indicating their continuing interest. Last Thursday, I happened to meet Cindi Lawson who came to Heppner two years ago from Philomath. She is the new Homemaker Helper for south Morrow. That really helpful program has been so great in making it possible for elderly, 01 or injured persons to stay in their homes. Gladys Jewell has been a great Homemaker Helper here until health problems forced her to retire. How most of us love warm fall days and dread that big killing freeze which will wipe out all the flowers and tender vegetables. We hope this freeze will please hold off quite awhile, at least through this next heavily scheduled weekend. Church school program to begin at All Saints' This Sunday, September 26, All Saints' Episcopal Church in Heppner will begin its' church school programs, an nounced the Rev. Ed Watts, vicar. There will also be a Dedication Service for the new altar missal.

Elementary education classes will be conducted for children up to age seven. Other ages will be included in programs as teachers become available, said Watts.

Sept. 19. Joanna is an AFS student from South Africa who is staying with Larry and Mary Ann Cerullo.

On the remaining Sundays, acolyte training will be given to those students and others interested in helping with services. were John and Mo Rudolf who dropped by for Sunday dinner and also spent the night. Mo, originally from South Africa, is a close friend of Joanna's mother. The Rudolfs are currently touring the U.S. before flying to Europe to visit Mo's family in England and South Africa. Lexington news , Delpha Jones 989-8189 The citizens of Lexington were quite busy Monday morning cleaning up the deb ris from the heavy rain storm that passed through the area on Sunday. Lexington Lumber Yard had much water and mud in its building, and it is reported that some basements had a bit of water. The Willow Creek channel ran over its' banks near the Jones and Geneva Palmer ranches. The highway near mile post 31 was closed for a short time until the highway department, which was busy cleaning in another area could arrive. Some cars had to wait for their engines to dry out before going on their way. Most saw the humor in the situation, as this is rumored to be a very dry area, "except when it rains." Much of the damage came from the heavy flow in Clarks and Blackhorse Canyons and the smaller canyons draining into the highway area.
