Around About
By Justine Weathcrford
u u r c r f:
The great lone Auction and barbecue probably drew, a r
crowd equal to, possibly surpassing the. previous Sunday's
memorial picnic-reunion. Ione't High School had Iti gradua
tion that night after the auction was cleared away. One of the
most exciting aspects of the auction was the lovely food-sale
area of the Country Store upstairs in the Willows Grange
Hall. Before the sale-beginning bell rang the shelves were
well loaded with wonderfully attractive foodstuffs then
within a very few minutes after the selling began how quickly
that wonderful, homemade food was cleared from the
shelves.
Other high spots of last week were the county extension
arranged spring bus trip and Heppner High School's
graduation. Now the pace here should slow down as the
school year has ended, and some of us who have done many
things other than giving our gardens and yards sufficient
attention may be able to get to that activity, somewhat
belatedly.
Although the County Fair and Rodeo events bring
Morrow's people together each August maybe late May and
early June are bigger times for visiting with the Memorial
weekend reunion and the school graduations and that first
Saturday in June auction. It was so pleasing to have
Katherine (Scharf ) and Erling Thompson, former residents
of the lone area, stop at my home to visit last Friday while
they were here from McMinnville renewing friendships and
looking around. ,
I learned from Katherine that Erling'i parents, the Nicolai
Thompsons, came from Norway to the Gooseberry area
where they learned our language and learned to be farmers.
Erling's younger brothers are all well Dr. Ralph in
Medford; Ted in Green Valley, Arizona; Norris in Sacra
mento, Calif ., and James in Portland. They all feel nostalgic
about the lone area where they grew up, where the older
three attended Ella School and the two youngest went to
school out Gooseberry way. Katherine came from Salem to
teach at Ella in 1938. The Erling Thompsons continue to read
this paper each week. Their children are: Eldon, born at
Heppner and now living in San Diego, Calif. ; Carl, born in the
valley and now living in McMinnvilie; Elinor Smith, also
born in the valley and now living in Bellevue, Wash.
Last Wednesday, 37 tourists (including three gentlemen),
who traveled tc the Yakima Nation Cultural Center situated
on U.S. Hwy. 87 at Toppenlsh, Wash., surely had an
interesting, educational experience. The Yakima Reserva
tion, one and one-half times the size of the state of Rhode
Island, stretches westward to the sacred mountains of the
Yakimas, Mt. Adams, on the crest of the Cascade Range. The
reservation includes much of the world famous Yakima
Valley where orchards make it the fruit bowl of the U.S.;
wh-r more hops are grown than anywhere else in the world;
and where hunters find the finest game bird country in the
northwest. Many Morrow folks have gone annually to the Mt.
Adam's area to pick huckleberries.
The Yakima Center is a dramatic cluster of buildings
grouped around a very tall replica of a winter lodge of the
Yakimas, one of the most recent architectural concepts of
Pietro Belluschi, a very important living American archi
tect. If you haven't yet visited this place with its
extraordinary museum, lovely Heritage Inn Restaurant, and
beautiful library and shops do try to go there.
After a good look about the center and a super luncheon,
the Morrow tourists chose to make a side trip westward to the
ending of state Highway 220. They drove through the town of
Yakima ; the town of White Swan, where an All Indian Rodeo
is held each June and where a big Pow-Wow comes each
July; and westward to Ford Simcoe State Park and to the Ft.
Simcoe C.C.C. Camp. The Historic Ft. Simcoe was estab
lished as a regular Army Post in 1S56 and was later used as
the Yakima Indian Agency Headquarters. We were disap
pointed that the buildings were not open that day, but we
really enjoyed walking around the grounds, under the
magnificent oak trees, viewing the old barracks and little jail
and pressing our noses against the windows of the
headquarters buildings to see their interiors.
Homeward bound we stopped at the Columbia Center
which is rather difficult to find from the new Yakima
freeway eastern side. The excursion kept the tourists busy
from 7 a.m. until about 8 p.m. There was some talk on the bus
about making a group tour to visit the fine Ste. Michelle
Winery, "River Ridge," near Patterson, Wash, some time in
the future. That institution is only about two hours travel
time from Heppner.
The Commencement at Heppner was a fine event,
everyone who participated perlormea so excellently. It was
interesting to note that this year's top honors, the
valedictorian and salutatorian went to young men, but the
four class officers were young women. Graduations are often
bitter-sweef occasions The program was swef-lt was bitter
to now that Michele Portmann, John Sporseen and Irvin
Rauch along with others are leaving the school scene in this
county.
Senator Packwood seemed friendly, relaxed and said "I
enjoy being here among friends." His address was
worthwhile stressing the qualities necessary for leadership.
He admitted that speakers Wes Maria tt and Greg Connor had
expressed some of the thoughts he held. Long time school
district board member, Irv Rauch, our new county
commissioner, made a very nice farewell talk. Those persons
who have been chosen through the years to serve on the
County School Board and who give so many evenings of their
lives to carefully guiding the school system, really are most
deserving of our honor and grateful thanks.
Last week I borrowed the six "Daily Oregonians" from an
"affluent neighbor so that I could try to learn from the paper's
series of articles on the Computer Age. I learned that I have
much to learn about this revolutionary development that I
am not too sure if everything about it is good. A friend told
me that Evangelist Billy Graham is also very interested in
this great change coming into everyone's life. Computers and
robots are supposed to already be significant parts of today's
world. .
In his address at Ithaca College in New York recently,
author Isaac Asimov stated, "It is conceivable that
someday we will build a robot that will learn, that will show
some of the things that are typically human such as insight,
intuition, creativity, inspiration. But even if we do, it would
be so troublesome, so difficult, we would have to put so much
into it, that it wouldn't be cost effective. It wouldn't be worth
our while. Human beings can do it so easily." (Taken from
"Parting Words for the Class of '83," p. 75, U.S. News &
World Report, June 6, 1983.)
