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.
