up? The llepprier Ga.ette-Tlme, Hrppner, Oregon, Thuriday, July 28, 1983 THREE Around About By Justine Weatlwrford Morrow County experienced a second electrifying week end. Residents and visitors were entertained and somewhat frightened by the pyrotechnic displays of the recent Friday through Sundays, in some ports of the county real damage was done by the heavy downpours and by the hall that came along with the thunder and lightning. A Butter Creek friend told mo that last Saturday during the day that area experienced lightning, thunder, heavy rain, hail and sunshine simultaneously. The weather system surely isn't helping grain and hay farmers. July 23, was an auspicious day in Heppner. The dedication to the presently very controversial dam here brought quite a few visitors to town. The Army engineers, contractors' representatives and Senator Hatfield seemed proud of the accomplished fact. Mayor Green and Judge McElligott were good hosts. In reading over the history of Heppner this spring, 1 was really Impressed with the constant efforts through the last 80 years which were carried on by community leaders and civic groups on behalf of this dam. It seems to me that only when the project was finally authorized and work was about to begin did we hear the swelling of opposition. Now that this project to protect the city has materialized Into such a huge, high wall, I can sympathize with those folks who are crying about losing their pleasing vista up Willow Creek. It is impossible to see any bit of the dam from my home. The big change I personally note Is the diminishing traffic along South Court St. However, along with those who lost family members in Heppner's great flood, I do feel more assured that the town won't be so completely devastated again. And as Senator Hatfield stated. "If several very precious human lives are saved, the project Is worthwhile." Last Sunday folks from the Klnzua and Condon country clubs joined the Willow Creek Club members here for a good time golfing, socializing and eating. More than 55 participa ted. By now you have learned that more teachers than have left our schools in recent years are leaving this year. I have not become really acquainted with all those who are departing, but feel that they have contributed much to our area. In time they will be replaced by others who will bring new and differing talents into the county. I truly enjoyed reading the first installment of counselor Michele Portmann's review of the European visit which she and Spanish teacher Valery Volesky took with seven students and extension office secretary Claudia Hughes. I do not think Jane Rawlins' retirement means that she will leave the county. It is hard for me to Imagine Heppner High School without Jane there teaching English, encouraging the appreciation and knowledge of drama and working with the National Honor Society. Because she Is such a talented woman and so generous and helpful. I feel certain that every county organization will hope to have her affiliation. Her leadership through her lifetime here (She is a native daughter.) has been tremendous. Jane has worked with several churches, with 4 H programs, with the lone and Heppner garden clubs, with the County Fair for many years and has supported and aided many good causes and carried out many helpful and generous personal projects. She has been a fine student, a dedicated teacher and a tremendous citizen. She can't ever retire from her lifetime of good habits. Some of his fans may not have heard that the Rawlins youngest son, Charlie, had a rather disappointing time participating in his first P G A. tournament, the National Public Links Championship, at Coltsneck, New Jersey. He just missed going into match play by one stroke. He decided not to get to Tacoma, Wash, for the National Left Handera Tournament. The recent New Jersey experience was a real golfing growth achievement. Just qualifying for national play was exciting and satisfying. Several other outstanding athletes are bringing fame to Heppner. In rodeo arenas, Ron Currln, Jr.'s two Professional Rodeo Cowboys Assoc. all around titles are super. One of his younger brothers, Mike, has just distinguished himself participating In the National High School Rodeo in Douglas, Wyoming, where he rated third nationally In steer wrestling and seventh In all-around performance. Tara Mahoney gained third place nationally in pole bending and Marty Britt also made it into the finals of the national event. How great for the H U.S. rodeo club. How great, too, is the record of 13 wins and Just two losses which brought the county's Babe Ruth League Team the championship of the Columbia Trl-County League. Just now two county girls, Sherl Piper and Kim Wright, are off seeing Japan while some Japanese youth are visiting here in the Labo Exchange Program. What wonderful experiences these travelers will have. How good it was to read In last week's paper about the Pioneer Memorial Hospital Auxiliary giving a picnic for the nursing home residents; to note that the Neighborhood Center's P.A.T.C.H. group is holding a rummage and bake sale to help provide emergency medication and other assistance for folks in need, and that the Lexington Garden Bugs re busy building a city park. Such fine things are being done by volunteers ... not government agencies. Groups of County Fair supporters have been meeting and working out plans for changes and Improvements at the fair. It is important to have folks keep checking the schedule printed In the 1983 premium book. Many events are set to happen before the fair opens In less than a month now, on Monday, August 22. This Saturday, "Heppner Daze," the summer sidewalk and street sale, promises to be bigger and better than ever.
