.gy-ww ypy'p'm f'w iiiMiimwi"lw'ww 'Minim p y Around About By Justine Weatherford List Friday, May 20, there were quite a few banners and potter scattered around Heppner proclaiming "Happy Birthday, Sadie" and "Sadie Is eighty" and other laudatory remarks about Sadie Parrlsh. It seemed like a pretty well organized public relations campaign with possible cooperation from people at the courthouse, at the Episcopal Church, at the Post ffice and points In between. Of course, this well known, former county clerk, has many friends, some of whom knew her age most folks observing Sadie would never have guessed she had reached four score years. Could she be running for office again? When Dr. Wolff presented Emma Drake with her winner's certificate for her Yard of the Month at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon last week, he remarked that when he first came to Heppner quite a few years back "Emma was one of the persons who gave me starts of flowers from her yard," Last Saturday, May 21, many individuals and families had their wlener-in-bun and soda pop or coffee lunches at Pettyjohns' remodeled and greatly enlarged store where open house festivities really attracted a good crowd. I noted four generations of the owning families among others I enjoyed visiting with were Mrs. Steve Pettyjohn and her tiny daughter. Nancy (Doherty) and Steve and the baby came home in time to be present at the store's open house and at the wedding of her sister, Becky, that same afternoon. Thursday last, I did a little traveling with the good company of friend Helen Currin. We drove north and west to the Yakima-Selah area to visit new residents there, my step-daughter Karla Weaver, and her children. We chose to go north via Peterson, Wash, and had our first look at the $23 million Chateau Ste. Michelle winery, called "River Ridge." It is set to open to the public in June 3. We did not go onto the grounds but noted the attractive landscaping surrounding the large, stone chateau, a copy of an 18th century French farmhouse, which has public rooms in its basement and on the main floor, including wine-tasting room and a retail shop and a kitchen for the staff, as well as a large fireplace-dominated reception hall with a view of the Columbia. We marveled at the many acres of grapes which have filled much of that region. Just after we passed the winery, we were stopped by highway 221 road builders and had a long wait for a pilot car to guide our group of north -bound cars through many miles of dusty construction almost to the place where the road goes over the hill to drop rather swiftly down to Prosser, Wash. We took the older route north from there through Mabton, Satus, Toppenish and Wapato, past many acres of being -harvested asparagus and very near the Yakima Indian Cultural Center which the Morrow Extension but travelers will visit on June 1. After lunch Karla drove us around Selah and Yakima and even took us to see the Congdon Castle, which one cannot get very close to except by riding the lnterurban trolley which goes through part of the acres of fruit trees owned by the eastern family that built this copy of a European castle. I had read that it contains 80 rooms, but the picture-postcard I bought says the castle has 40 rooms. It is rather well hidden by the large trees near it all one sees from a distance are the towers and the upper floors. While we were sight-seeing, Karla left her small son, Jacob, at a most convenient childare facility. She said when she begins working again soon, she will be leaving two and three-fourths eyar-old daughter, Abiah, there, too. This pre kindergarten care spot seems to draw the small children of quite a few teachers. It is nice to know that Heppner is to have a child-care facility again. When we ended our visiting, we decided to take the rather new freeway back to the Trl-Cltiea. It was an easier, attractive drive along the Yakima River. I took a wrong turn and found us slowed to 25 miles an hour through Columbia Park near Kennewick. However, we got back on Highway 14 and moved along nicely until we reached the Umatilla Bridge where traffic was at a standstill for miles each way until police untangled some large farm machinery that had collided with a truck near the center of the span. Not many nights in the year are people of this county able to enjoy such good stage presentations as were available this last weekend. The documentary drama "Prodigal Daugh ters" drew a fair crowd to the lone High School cafetorium on Friday to admire and to learn from the fine work of actress Jane Von Boskirk and musician-actor Mark Nelson. On Saturday evening, several ladies who were still thirsty for more culture went to see the final performance of the highly recommended play "Se How They Run" which other folks from the county had seen during its earlier perfor mances. Produced by the Pendleton College-Community Theater, this hilarious comedy was perfectly cast and so well directed and delivered In an appropriate stage setting. The costuming augmented the acting. The men's costumes, however, were sometimes rather monotonous, as five males all wearing Church of England garb were on stage in the vicarage setting during several episodes of the action-filled drama; each of the five claimed he was the vicar. This was the only play I have managed to attend in Pendleton this year, and because it was so delightful, I hope to take In live theater there more frequently In the future. The focus this week on Wednesday was on Heppner High's baccalaureate. Next week comes commencement. In be tween these major events, comes the very Important, annual Pioneer Picnic and Reunion at the county fairgrounds on Sunday, May 29. Usually around 300 or so attend this annual in-gathering. This year the descendants of pioneers Albert and Julia Wright are in charge of the arrangements. Many county families are expecting relatives and former residents to come back to Heppner for next weekend. Hopefully bright, summery weather will bless the community then.
