Thursday, February I, 1984 Strictly Off the lX2GFGll LOST YOUTH f T- I, ; 1 H Wheatland Pomona Grange holds Jan. meeting Linda Shaw Last Wednesday, Jan. 25, was declared "A day of mourning for Linda Shaw's lost youth" at Heppner Elementary School. In recognition of Shaw's 40th birthday, fellow teachers and school personnel wore black arm bands and many dressed in black.

WHAT A RECEPTION Dale Thompson, manager of Les Schwab Tire Center in Heppner, and his wife Pat, hardly expected the reception they would receive at Portland International Airport upon their return from a recent company meeting in hawaii. Dale says the plane was met by an armada of firefighting equipment and rescue vehicles after touchdown, and was escorted to an isolated area of the runway before passengers were allowed to deboard. The cause of all the fuss? A piece of debris found on the runway after takeoff in Hawaii, which airport officials feared may have been from a blown tire on the Thompson's plane. "There were even television news people there to interview us when we got off," said Dale. SHE GETS HER CHANCE Betty Carlson of lone got the chance to turn the tables on husband Louie Tuesday while speaking to the Heppner-Mor-row Chamber of Commerce. Louie has long been an active member of nany boards, groups and committees, and as such has the opportunity to speak before crowds quite often. Being a good speaker, he always takes a moment to introduce "my spouse," Betty. Tuesday, Betty, who was speaking on "Agriculture in the Classroom," got her chance. "I'd like to introduce 'my spouse,' Louie," she said. Adding "That's something I've always wanted to do." MORE ON "BRANDED" Orville Cutsforth has explained why he "branded" a 14-ton rock: Before the newly constructed John Day Dam began flooding the area, Orville and his wife gathered impressions of some old Indian petroglyphs along the river bed which were to be covered by the rising water. According to Orville, the "brand" of the thunderbird was reproduced from the lost petroglyphs in an effort to preserve the Indian art in some way. It took him three days to carve it, he says. "As you probably know, I can't crawl around on rocks the way I used to ... if I can just find a man that's half the artist I am, I'd like to have some more carvings done," he said. And about the rancher who hauled off the 14-ton branded rock, Orville says, "He's a nice old guy even if he did steal my rock." What's Your Opinion? V . " Mm ..

Ah Question: "How do you feel about the presidential cam paign now that Reagan has joined the race?" "I haven't been paying much attention." said Maggie Henderson of Lexingotn.
