Around About
By Justine Weatherford
As you all know, summer officially arrived on Tuesday, .
June 21. Lost weekend the very late spring weather showed
lots of variety cool winds, rain, thunder and some sunshine,
too. I guess the cool temperature and the moisture were a
Kreut deal more helpful to the wheat crop than very warm '
days would have been.
Last Sunday I could hear crowd noises coming from
Heppner's swim pool where I believe a good crowd of
swimmers and watchers had gathered for a meet. ! felt so
cold all day Sunday and kept thinking of the chill the
swimmers must have felt getting In and out of the water.
Maybe they all swam faster and set speed records during
their cool competition.
Seems like athletic competition Is really booming now, and
I don't refer to Just the professional sports, such as golf,
tennis and baseball. I'm thinking of the youths from our
county who have gone to the National Collegiate Rodeo In
Bozeman, Mont., where they will compete all week, with the
finals coming this Saturday. Also, quite a group of county
hiRh school rodeo competitors will be In Redmond this
weekend for the Oregon State High School Rodeo Champion
ships. Such excitement!
Last month I wrote about the Morrow Co. Extension bus
trip to the Yakima Indian Center at Toppenish, Wash.
Several folks pointed out that the paper said we "drove
throiiRh Yakima," but we didn't go there at all; Instead, we
agreed to go west from Toppenish through White Swan, a
reservation town, to historic Fort Simcoe.
My stepdaughter's latest letter, which I received last week,
tells about the interesting day, Sunday, June 12, which the
Weavers spent at White Swan at the Annual Indian Pow Wow.
Karla wrote "We watched their Grand Entry Ceremony for
' about one and one-half hours. I've never seen so many
beautiful costumes! There were probably ISO to 200 Indians
dancing in a splrallng line. From what we learned, the
dancers have many strict criteria to meet and the groups of
drummers are Judged with equal strictness. It was Indeed
quite awesome. We decided we were glad they were
friendly, as it's easy to see how those drums could whip
people into a frenzy."
A friendly Soroptimist Invited me to be her guest at the
lovely Installation banquet the Heppner members of this
executive women's international organization held last
Friday evening at the Elks Lodge. The Heppner club was
proud to induct three new members: LoRayne Bowman,
Barbara Hayes and Chris Limanen. It was also announced
that seven members had qualified for perfect attendance
honors. The outgoing president, Jackie Allstott, presided at
her last official Heppner club function, and a fine slate of
I9R.1 84 officers was installed In a very effective ceremony by
Sally Shumway from Baker. It was so pleasing to watch the
ladies and their husbands enjoying the nice dinner and
interesting program.
The Heppner Christian Church welcomed former pastor,
the Rev. Martin B. Clark, and his wife, Evelyn, as honored
guests last Sunday. The Clarks enjoyed greeting old friends
here whom they knew during the early 1940s. They are now
teaching missionaries at Osaka Bible Seminary in Japan.
I jist week it seemed like the Heppner area was featured In
state newspapers and on TV quite constantly. In fact, I Just
can't rememtier when our area has had more coverage than 0
it has recently with last month's big fire, then the lone bank
robery and now the two chemical accidents. Friends assure
me that three troublesome events are all we will sufer, and
that our next big news will be good news. We sure hope they
are right.
losing the fish in Willow Creek was poorly timed coming
as it did so close to the end of the school year. Each late
spring 1 enjoy seeing youngsters walking past my home with
their fishing poles and then returning a few hours later
proudly carrying a few trout. When I visited with Heppner's
current bent yard winners (See related story), Elwyn and
Maude Hughes, who spend many happy hours fishing, they
said they were sorry about the fish kill in the creek, but they
are strictly lake fishermen. They have such a cute
fishing -boy statue In their nice yard. That boy looks very
happy fishing In the mirror pond the Hughes placed him
beside.
Although the loss of the fish surely saddens some kids, I've
been hearing about two very lucky Heppner Elementary
School girls who will soon depart for an exciting time in New
York City and on long Island. Cousins Angie and Jenny
Currin will leave June 23 for an almost two-week vacation
with Angle's aunt Ann Marie Currin from Portland. The
threesome will fly to New York City where they will look
around as the guests of Ann Marie's sister, Celia Currin Katz,
and her husband. Harvey. The Katz's have a town apartment
near the city's center development home out at East
Hampton on the far end of Long Island. The travelers will
also have a good look around Washington, D.C. The two
11-year-old girls will learn lots about how other folks live on
the opposite side of the U.S.
Maybe the coming good news, which we want to expect,
will be related to the work that various oil companies are
starting soon on county property, beginning near the
mountains and working toward the river. I hear they will be
moving crews in to start careful exploration and testing on
the properties they have already leased rights on in the
county. Do we really want oil wells? The location of oil here
could bring very great changes to our area.
It is hard to decide how changes will affect our lives. I still
have mixed feelings about the booming use of computers.
Recently I read that there is a new crime wave built on the
stealing of facts from computers. These mechanical wonders
store great masses of information which skillful but
unscrupulous manipulators can use unscrupulously. They
have already stolen military information and topnotch
financial secrets which led to a bank loss of about two million
dollars.
We will be waiting and listening for good news and good
publicity about South Morrow Co.
