Around About
By Justine Weitherford
More than 400 persona participated in the Rolling Hills Run
last Sunday, which could have been dubbed the "Windy Hills
Run," as the runners and walkers felt the chilling wind. Iri Its
only two years of existence this run has become Eastern
Oregon's second largest run, being second only to Pendle
ton's annual River Run. r
llcppner's City Park, the scene of the run's ending and the
award ceremony, has surely had good usage so far this
month. A really fine group of very young Easter egg hunters
met the big bunny there on the first Saturday, and then on the
second Sunday the runners, walkers and many Interested
spectators were there for several hours of the cold afternoon.
Several three-generation groups completed the run or
walk, including Linda Shaw and her mother, Mrs. Pearson,
and Shaw son J.J.; and Eric Connor and his parents, Shirley
and Dean Connor, and Shirley's mother, Bernice Nash. The
awards ceremony was staged from the front porch of the
Heppner U.S. Dicentcnnial project, the historic Democrat
Gulch Schoolhou.se, by Awards Committee Chairman John
Edmundson, Announcer Gerald Pierson and their assistants
Little league President Bob Krien and daughter Jennie.
Announcements were made of coming weekend runs In
Eastern and Central Oregon.
A happy event during last week was the high school
dramatists' presentation of "The Truly Remarkable Puss-In-Boots."
Some months back it was recommended that I be
sure to attend this play. I did attend and agreed with the
recommendation I really enjoyed every minute and think
the youngsters and parents attending enjoyed it too. It would
have been worth en admission charge.
Again I am impressed with the work done by city and
county officials. The city council really carefully considered
the matter of furnishing water to locations outside the city. A
chat with Judge McElligott, who reviewed the many
significant matters the county court struggled with last
week, proved to me that that group really works.
Last Tuesday some people had their first look at the CBS
Channel 6 TV program concerning the Willow Creek Dam .
which was video-taped by Kit and Shirley George of Sears.
The TV crew made much of the film at the Shrove Tuesday
Pancake Dinner at the Episcopal Church on February IS. It
surely showed lots of negative reaction with only the Army
Engineer spokesman giving a positive viewpoint. Some
persons seem to think that the TV treatment will someday
reach the "60 Minutes" program.
Looking back at the Rolling Hills Run, It was most
educational to watch the runners come to the check-in tables
as the run ended. Each table had spiked boards marked for
the eight different age categories, and the attendants at the
tables saw that the bottom section of each runner's
identification tag was removed and pushed down on the spike
on the appropriate board in the order in which the runner got
to the table. The many committees who worked with General
Chairman Liz Curtis put in lots of time on this event as they
began working many months ago.
As 1 stood listening to the awards ceremony, I was so proud
of the many local people who won honors, of the gorup of
outstanding runers from other communities who partici
pated, of the county and Heppner merchants who contributed
prizes, and, in fact, of everything happening except the cold
weather. It was pleasing to visit briefly with Harold Kerr he
and his wife Carol were here from Corvallis. Also it was nice
' to again see Scott Hutchins, the Lufkin, Texas, U.S. Army
flash, whom many of us enjoyed knowing while he was here
working as an engineer on the dfin project. He came from
Walla Walla, Wash, to compete in the 6.2 mile run.
When I was in San Antonio, Texas earlier this year, I
learned a little about running from my stepson Bill Knoll,
now 47, who runs almost every day and who participates In
weekend runs regularly. I went with him to a short run on a
Sunday morning. It seemed like over a thousand participated
in that five-mile run. Bill enters five-mile, ten-mile,
half marathon and even marathon runs. He stays very fit and
says that if he ever quits running he knows he won't feel as
well as he does now.
That nice Sunday in February in San Antonio, the morning
run began and ended in the large city park which surrounds
the beautiful Chinese Sunken Garden where I enjoyed
walking about and admiring the plantings, pools, waterfalls,
interesting bridges and buildings during the run. The runners
took off at 7 a.m., and we were back at the Knoll home across
town about 8:30 a.m. with another T-shirt for Bill's big
collection of run T-shirts. He has won a few prizes In his age
category, including a nice turkey for last Thanksgiving. I
expect he will be winning even more often when he moves
into the over-SO classification.
Preparing for and staging a successful running event
requires many committee workers. Now the congregations of
several churches are preparing for annual sales In this
county In May and June. Many persons are busily putting in
lots of time and effort. The Methodists of Heppner have set
their Yard Sale, which will also include a homemade food
sale and a sandwich-salad pie and coffee or punch luncheon,
for May 14 on Church Street. At lone the well-established,
first-Saturday in-June auction, which includes a great noon
barbecue meal, is being made ready by United Church of
Christ committees and will take place at the Willows Grange
Hall on June 4.
Top math students
