The Ileppnr Gazette-Time. Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, September 29, 1983 THREE
Around About
lly Justine Weatlwrford
The fall weekend just punt was so beautiful and so busy in
Heppner. Among some of the excitements were Friday
night football loss at Sherman; a good Saturday Soroptlmlst
unit' Ihnt gained scholarship funds; a big social event along
Little Butler Creek where more than 100 folks gathered at the
new home of Eddie and Lorraine Drosnan for a hounewarm
ing arranged by their neighbors Susie French Ward and
husband Jim; the annual Sunday afternoon tryouts for
princesses and queen of next summer's fair and rodeo held at
the fairgrounds.
Two very special Heppner citizens were congratulated by
their church friends on Sunday. At St. Patrick's Catholic
Church, those In attendance cheered for Maggie Hcaly who
became 91 that day, and at the United Methodist Church folks
sang "Happy Birthday" to Emma Drake whose 90th birthday
was Tuesday, Sept. 27. These two women continue managing
independent living and are remarkable members of their
community.
Did you notice the white car labeled "Channel 8 News"
around town recently? I exchanged a very few words with a
TV crew member on Saturday night as I was closing the
laundromat and again outside church on Sunday morning. I
learned they are filming for a news special about rural
Oregon for which Heppner was chosen to be included as "a
nice small town." They told me the coverage will begin
running on their station's news shows (which I get on
Channel 4) about November 21.
They did some filming Inside the Heppner Bowl on Sunday
evening. This recreational establishment Is becoming better
known throughout northwestern states since proprietors
Doug and Sonia Smith have incorporated their interstate
"Bowl For Fun" which is headquartered here. If you haven't
visited the Smith domain recently, you will find several
improvemenis there. Their former games room has become
more locker space, a new office and better storage for frozen
foods adds convenience, and more expansion is planned.
Your reading and my writing of a column each week gets to
be a little much in these months that happen to have five
Thursdays Because it is now about 10 years since I began
this potpourri which I dubbed "Around About," we have gone
through close to 500 of these weekly efforts. So it is probably
fitting that we all have a change of pace.
My weekly writing was more fun when I had the help of my
husband, Bill, who loved chatting with folks, who was a
Better storyteller than I am, whose sense of humor was quite
amazing, and who liked making suggestions about every
thing I wrote. We had an on going series of debates about
numerous political and social affairs, and although we
viewed many things differently when our debating began, it
was interesting to find that after talking some things over, we
aeh would often adjust our Individual feelings and come to
be rattier close in our conclusions. I've certainly been
missing Bill's help for six years now.
Probably experience has taught you, also, that airing
differing views is the best way to approach problem solving.
Compromise is the happiest way to reach a solution. How
much sadder this old planet might be if the United Nations
should foldup as did its predecessor the League of Nations. It
seems there really needs to be a common arena for tlaking
out the troubles of the world so that hopefully compromises
will be reached.
A letter from Teresa Weutherford which reached me last
Saturday from the San Diego area reveals that her husband,
my stepson, C P U. Weatherford (W W W. HI) is now aboard
the Duluth off the coast of Beirut, Lebanon. Bill's next
homecoming date was to be Oct. 23. but that has been
postponed and no new date set yet. He writes not to
worry- his ship is not involved in the fighting." When the
Duluth left California last spring, it was on a Pacific cruise
but then it became one of three ships which were diverted
from the Pacific to the Mid East, This brings the troubles In
Beirut much closer to Bill's family. I wonder if he is the only
Morrow County serviceman in the Lebanon area?
Last week this column didn't turn out as I submitted it. I
had tried to share some items from the Sunday Oregon and
remarked that I no longer get the daily paper from Portland.
If you read that paragraph, it said "I do not get the daily
paper from Pendleton," I do, however, read six editions of
the "East Oregonian" each week.
In my around-about way. I am telling you that this will be
my last weekly column. I shall miss the good discilpine of
sharing thoughts with readers regularly each week. The
publishers have consented to let me write a once-each-month
column. It has bwn pleasing to have former residents of
Morrow Co tell me that they have been reading my column. I
have often thought of them as I write and have been glad that
they continue to read their hometown paper. Occasionally I
may be submitting short articles or maybe a feature story,
but from now on my regular writing will consist of a
reflective column toward the ending of each month.
So you will probably next see my words after the great fall
excitement of hunting is pretty well past. I hope those of you
who live here will be attending the annual meeting of the
Morrow County Historical Society at the Lexington Grange
Hall next Sunday, Oct. 2. A fine program and dinner are
planned.
I close now with sincere congratulations to the new Fair
and Rodeo Court Queen Sylvia Ladd of lone and BMCC and
Princesses Bridget Greenup and Shelly Stroeber of
Heppner High School. They have a hard act to follow I
became a real fan of Queen Lottie and her court. Long and
happily may the new threesome reign.
