Around About
By Justine Weatlwrford
As I drove over the Snoqualmie Pass last Thursday, I had
to have the windshield wipers going at top speed Just to see
the roadway. What a shower hit that area between Cle Elum
and the north Pacific shore. I kept wondering if Heppner was
sharing some of the rain knowing that those completing
hr-vt or beginning harvesting or maybe right in the middle
would really hate the downpour.
Now many here are hoping that the rain, which will strike
apln one of these days, Isn't waiting to dampen the County
Fair or the big Saturday parade and rodeo performances.
My fourth 1983 visit to Yakima, Wash, as I returned my
grandsons Adam and Thomas to their moms last week,
exposed me to a new feature of that amazing agricultural
valley. I went with daughter Karla out to a large "You dig,
you pick" garden along the river where folks were busily
digging carrots and beets and picking tomatoes, peppers and
cucumbers. The farmer offered several varieties of melons
his workers had picked. When we arrived he had already sold
all of that day's picking of corn. Many people from
apartments and city homes are finding that they can have
very fresh produce at reasonable prices along with an
earthy experience at this farm.
The Yakima Valley has such a mixture of peoples working
on Its fertile acres. The native American Indian population is
very significant. Whites own much of the fertile acreage
which has in recent years, gone from hops to grapes. There
are large clusters of Mexican families there and groups of
Black Americans and a growing number of Asians who have
come to help with work in the fields, orchards and vineyards.
Last Saturday night when I went to close the laundromat, I
chanced to visit with Ron Christopherson who has come back
to Morrow County after being a way 11 years. He and his wife
Bonnie (Miller) and their sons, Keith, 10, and Cody, 14
months, are now living on Cowins St. Ron is working with
Earl Struckmeier. Ron was graduated from lone High School
and Bonnie from Heppner. While they were away from here,
they lived In Texas, Idaho, Alaska, Wyoming, Texas a second
time and Colorado, Ron said.
Bonnie's parents have returned to Morrow Co. also. Mr.
Miller and Ron had some experience working in oil fields
during the years. Ron told me that oil companies have
recently started several producing wells in the Yakima area.
We remarked that if oil is found in this county, our area could
change considerably.
After an afternoon and night in Yakima, I drove alone to'
Port Orchard. Wash, where I had a pleasant two-night stay
with my older son, Ross, and his wife, Alice. They took me
out sight swing much of Friday. Our principal stop was at
Port Gamble on a point extending out Into Hood Canal. This is
America's oldest continuously operating forest products
community. The whole town is a National Historic Site. Its
beautifully maintained Victorian homes are still being
occupied by Pope and Talbot Lumber Company workers. One
of these, the Thompson House, built in 1859, is the oldest
continuously occupied house in the state of Washington.
We three spent much of the afternoon visiting the Sea and
Shore Museum and the Pope and Talbot Historic Museum.
The smaller museum displays a fabulous collection of shells
from the seas of the world, but mainly from the north Pacific.
The lumber museum contains a great look into the
development of the Pope and Talbot company and the
community it owns. Admission to the Sea and Shore Museum
is free. It is upstairs in the town's General Store. There is a 12
fee to go through the historic museum which is housed under
the store building.
After leaving Port Gamble we drove along Olympic View
Drive and had a perfect view of the majestic Olympic Range
in the lovely afternoon sunshine. Returning to Port Orchard,
we came through Bremerton, Wash, just as the day-chift
workers were leaving the huge shipyardwhat a traffic jam.
That night, after a fine fish dinner, we attended the
amusing play "Miss Reardon Drinks a Little" in the Bay
Street Playhouse where the Performing Arts Guild of South
Kitsap again is presenting an excellent production on the four
Friday and Saturday nights of August. The Port Orchard and
Bremerton papers gave this play high praise, and its
audiences are being delighted by it.
Although the community theater group's work Isn't at all
comparable to the Ashland Shakespearean offerings, it was
the only live theater I've seen since a B.M.C.C. play last
spring. By now I've heard from Jane Rawlins and Marty
Baker that the Heppner High lour to Ashland last week was
again a very pleasing experience.,
Saturday I made a lonesome, warm drive home down
highways 1-5, 205, and then east on 1-84. Coming southward on
1-5, 1 got several looks at Mt. St. Helens' cratered top with a
high white plume of something-vapor? ash? -rising from
from it. As I made my first crossing of the new 1-205 bridge
east of Vancouver, Wash., I got a tremendous, full-length
view of Oregon's own Mt. Hood from the center of the span.
Although there were thousands of vehicles traveling last
weekend, I only happened upon one accident on the bridge
where the Deschutes River enters the Columbia. It as a
one-car accident. The new car was crushed up on the bridge
guardrail and a woman driver was stretched out on a mat
beside it being given attention by several persons. We
passing drivers were waved ahead.
A few miniutes after I entered my Heppner kitchen, Mary
Goheen phoned to tell me she had seen so many fascinating
sights on her recent travels that she is already contemplating
returning to see more of the wonders of Greece.
On Sunday after church I joined the substantial group of
workers at the County Fairgrounds where preparations are
underway for next week's fair, The congregation from St.
Patrick's Church had a picnic dinner on the grounds about
the same tune that ttie fairboard and workers were enjoying
their politick.
My home seems quiet this week without any grandchild
ren. Now I shall finish the little remaining gift of Morrow
County honey alone, a lovely comb which Tom Rawlins' bees
produced. It is such a light-colored, mild-flavored honey. . .
great on toast. In ancient times, having honey was
considered a mark of great wealth. One of the strange facts I
read about honey is that the early Egyptians are believed to
have used it In embalming.
Wow August is more than half over and Labor Day
weekend is only two weeks away. Well, here's hoping that our
county has a real honey of a Fair and Rodeo.
