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. Come a
little before noon.
