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

This Sunday, September 26,

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.
