Oh what a variety of weather April brought to all of the U.S.
Fortunately we had no tornadoes or earthquakes here, South
Morrow County saw many activities taking place, such as the
Uollling Hills Hun, the Four-Wheel Drive Rally, the finger
printing of many children, the Heppner High Music
Department's Spaghetti Feed, a remarkable Easter Week,
the Soropllmist Senior Girls and Moms luncheon, some
exciting athletic contests and a variety of to other events.
Everyone was delighted by the Open House in the greatly
expanded new location of the Heppner Auto Parts, Inc. and
Heppner Cylinder Head and by the great new space added to
the Burkenbine-McCahe's Central Market,
Important peopla came or will be coming to this area:
Joseph DeVito began his duties on April 2 as director of the
Mental Heulth Services, Otto L. Burden began work as
county Public Works Director, and we learned that Doyle
McCalin will assume duties as new School Superintendent on
July 1 . It is sad to see Matt Doherty leaving the county and to
know that Sheridan Tarnasky is leaving the Home Health
Agency on June 1.
How good to know that the Heppner community is very
concerned about the safety of children and is eager to see a
fence erected along Willow Creek In Hager Park. When
people speak out about local needs they demonstrate that
they are thinking of community betterment. When citizens of
the world really focus on peace, and speak out loudly for the
elimination of nuclear and other weapons, perhaps world
leaders will listen.
After church Faster Sunday, while the sun was still shining
Mary Goheen and I again climbed up to the cross on
Heppner's east hill. We were so delighted by the various
wildflowers we walked among-yellow, pink, lavender, blue,
white. Beauty grows on that rocky hillside quite a climb
alove Hock Street.
How sadly weather beaten and neglected the landmark
cross is. The wheel track we followed upward indicated that
some vehicle had recently been driven right up to the fencing
around the cross. How fine it would be if some group would
again repair and repaint that old rugged cross that is more
visible to many since the relocation of the Willow Creek
Hoad.
As we looked down on the Willow Creek Dam and the
enlarging hike, I was thinking that it seemed strange that
more folks don't make the hike up to that viewpoint which
might be a good spot for a small park someday. When we
started down we happened to walk in a partially circular
direction below the cross and were surprised to come upon a
large concrete "H" with "57" cut into its crosbar. So, about
27 years ago some group must have made quite an effort
getting concrete up that far. The "H" is not visible very
far- it is unpainted and is crumbling some.
It seems like many moons have passed during the big
improvement effort on the highway connecting Lexington
and lone. Many tires have been cut badly by the sharp rock
needed in the road building process. Now that most of the
worst is over, in due time we can all look forward to smoother
journeying between these two important south -county towns.
I am already hearing reports of good spring fishing. The
Carl McDaniels generously shared some of their early proof
with me.
Oregon's Primary Flection on Tuesday, May 15, is a big
date for ail citizens to keep. The cover of the Voters'
Pamphlet states that voting is the responsibility of every
concerned and well informed Oregonian. We have a group of
well -qualified Morrow County candidates running in this
election.
We need to indicate our feelings on two measures and to
mark our preference for condidates for the President of the
United States, for a U.S. senator, a representative to
Congress, for Oregon ! secretary of state, treasurer and
attorney general, for our state senator and state representa
tive, for two state supreme court judges, for a Judge of the
court of appeals, a judge of the circuit court, for a county
commissioner and a county clerk and for party committee
persons. Now we have reached May when the lilacs bloom in
Morrow County and when all of the north temperate zone
bursts with new life. It is easier for me to realize that the
world south of the equator is getting ready for winter since I
visited there during their very warm January summer.
This month will see the Heppner Methodist putting on their
Lawn Sale on the first Saturday. All mothers will be honored
on Sunday, May 13. Many school ending activities, such as
graduations will take place. A final all-county event will be
the Pioneer Reunion and Picnic to be held at the county
fuirgrounds on Sunday, May 27. Everyone is invited whether
or not they are of early pioneer stoek-everyone's family
must have pioneered somewhere at sometime.
June will begin with the annual lone Church of Christ
Auction on Saturday which always brings a crowd to that
pleasant community.
