Around About
By Justine Weatlwrford
What a busy month was March. A new hospital admini
stration under John Oschner began on March 5; the
ownership of several Heppner businesses changed; the
former Morrow County Creamery Building and Its new
addition became the spacious home of Heppner Auto Parts,
Inc. and Heppner Cylinder Head businesses; a new aviation
company was formed out on Little Butter Creek ; Lexington's
new park became Friendship Park and Heppner was on the
way to having a new city well.
The month's biggest day here, Saturday, March 17,
brought a tremendous swelling of Heppner's Irish population
for the msot successful St. Patrick's Day celebration so far.
Rightly it especially honored Pete Lennon and his sister
Maggie Mealy. Those who arranged and supervised the day's
many activities lurely deserved praise. Many out-of-town
visitors were most favorably impressed. Local businesses
had a really great day.
The dinner that night at St. Patrick's Church parish hall
was served to more persons than ever before. The music
there by the Lindsay Family and by Ron McDonald was
delightful. The TOPS breakfast, the afternoon social times
and the dinner at the Elks were all well attended, too. The
KUMA broadcast, the Kilkenny Irish slide show, the brunch
at the Elks Lodge, the kids coin scramble and roller skating
and the sheep dog demonstration at the fairgrounds all drew
good attendances and the dancing continued into the next
day.
The parade was joyfully musical thanks to the fine school
band from lone and to the visiting musical groups from
Baker and Athena. Everyone was cheered by the Irish family
groups who participated. Terry Voltz has now become known
as a succesful parade director.
Next year's Merchants Committee will really be chal
lenged to present a program equal to this year's efforts.
There is some talk that it may need more than one day
maybe most of a week.
Wasn't it great that Election Day went so well here with all
tax measures approved and with good people named to
county positions. The one complaint rests with the turnout of
voters it seems that too many just can't be bothered to
discharge this primary citizenship responsibility. Those
apathetic non-voters had better never complain about the
decisions ituched by those who do vote.
As Spring has arrived and our days are growing longer, it
is good to have important annual rituals carried on. The
naming of tone's Jim Swanson as Conservation Man for the
year and the installation of tone's Queen Sylvia Ladd and
Heppner's Princesses Bridget Greenup and Shelly Stroeber
pleased everyone. It was good to hear the fair royalty and
their faithful pennant bearers speak out at the coronation
dinner and introduce their parents and family members.
Also speaking out at this community affair were Rodeo
Chairman Don Stroeber, who was M.C. for the evening; Fair
Board Chairman Charley Daly and Fair Committee Chair
man Jane Rawlins, who both gave pep talks about next
August's Fair and Rodeo and who stressed the importance of
community support and voluntary participation in the
carrying on of the good county lair. Especially enjoyable
were the reminiscences presented by Shorty Peck, a fair
worker, and by former queen and present Fair Board
Vice-Chairman Merlyn Robinson.
Now we have moved into April. Its first fooling day is past.
Its final Sunday which will see the ending of standard time
and the beginning of daylight saving time again will arrive
quickly after the world celebrates those annual Christian
holy days Palm Sunday and Easter.
In Heppner several people-pleasing events are scheduled .
this month. First, the now well-established Rolling Hills Run
this coming Sunday afternoon, April 8. Then a new event
here, the First Annual 4 Wheel Drive Road Rally on
Saturday, April 14, will begin at Cutsforth Park.
The Child Identification and finger printing program set
for the night of April II and 12 in the Heppner Elementary
School Cafeteria can be a most valuable service provided to
the community by the Lions Club, the A.A.U.W. and the
Soroptimists. It fits in with national programs this month
which focus on problems relating to children and happy,
healthful childhoods.
As warmer weather comes to stay, the humming of lawn
mowers and the stretching of gardeners' muscles will make
us know that as spring is here and summer is not far away.
