Around About By Justine Weatherford Did you find the full page of pictures and legend aobut the! well-preserved, rural Valby Lutheran Church In last Sunday'i "Oregonian?" It was put together by writer Scotta Calllster and photographer Tom Treick and featured camera shot of tome county person! we know and reaped. You may have missed seeing It It Is on page F 14. The heading of the page "A Beacon for the Faithful" is well chosen. The last paragraph of the brief legend states, "The church no longer draws the crowds of 250 as It did around the turn of the century. Nevertheless, he (the Rev. John Maas) said, "It is still a strong, central gathering place." Readers of the Pendleton "East Oregonian" noted a large picture and Betty Ehler's story about E.V. (Gonty) Blevlns last week Thursday, May 5, the day after Heppncr's fire. The picture shows E.V, seated In a modern wheelchair, and Mrs. Enters did not mention that this chair "in which she spends a good deal of her time" was loaned to her by (he Heppner Odd Fellows Lodge. The article does tell of some of the many kind and helpful groups of people throughout this part of Oregon who have contributed help for E.V.'s rehabilitation and her struggle with tremendous expenses. Because many south county folks know E.V.'s family and know what good citizens Ed and Eleanor have been and how helpful they are to many folks here, It is now very fitting that ' sheshould be receiving help from others. On Mother's Day as I was thinking about several remarkable mothers I have known, I put E.V.'s (Eleanor Virginia's) mother in the exceptional category. Eleanor Gonty offers so much of her strength and love to the Heppner community. She has long been the chief tender and weeder of the city-owned land at the curve which unites May and Gale streets and joins the Gonty yard. She has spent years helping beginning readers in the elementary school each week. Eleanor Joins with others in helping regularly and making quilU and lap robes at the Heppner Neighborhood Center. She was the cook for the Senior Mealsite until last year. She regularly drives for several housebound senior citizens so that they can get out and do a few errands. Eleanor Gonty annually helps with a special meal at the Elks Lodge, usually Eleanor's stuffed porkchops. She was a charter member of the Heppner Soropttmists and has been president of that fine group twice. She is a leader in the Degree of Honor Lodge and the Heppner Garden Club. The Altar Society at St. Patrick's Church knows her as a most regular member and one of its best and always so dependable workers. Along with E.V.'s brother, Tom, their mother, who gives so much of herself, has helped see ethat quite a few older widows in town have had some firewood during the lastd several winters. In fact, if anyone or any organization nerds help Eleanor Gonty is one of the first to respond to that need. So, now it is fitting that folks are responding to the present need of Eleanor's only daughter. What a fine volunteer example she is for all women. Last week I spent a little time visiting my daughter, Ann Chenhall, and her family near Cheney, Wash. I also had a pleasing chat with Dave Harrison in Cheney, the former electric co-op manager her. Dave said, ."Norma saw the TV pictures of the Heppner fire on a Spokane Channel." Cheney is 100 year sold this year and was having a centennial parade and big celebration last Saturday. Of course, the active Harrisons are. as always, very involved in the community and the Methodist Church, and Dave Is still a leader in the Lions Hub and the Chamber of Commerce. One of the most pleasing experiences during my visiting was looking about the Reid Laboratory School on the Eastern Washington University campus. I have two grandchildren attending there. Meeting several supervising teachers and several student interns was very encouraging. My daughter gives the Lab school's nursery and kindergarten sector some of her volunteer time. This teacher-training school offers its enrollees some carefully programmed experiences. Have you marked your family calendar so that you will be attending the school concerts here? Don't forget the Methodist Yard Sale on the 14th. All citizens have a responsibility to vote in the special county school district election on Tuesday, May 17, anytime between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Next Wednesday, the 18th, the public-invited program at the Senior Mealsite promises to be very special.
