The Heppner Gaiette-Timef, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, May 31, 194-THREE
Around About 1
, By Justine Weatlierford
May la always auch a busy month as the school year arw
to its end with the usual programs and ceremonies, as
gardens need reworking and planting, as organizations wind
down some activities and as families eagerly change to
summer schedules for the bright, longer daytimes, School
track, baseball and rodeo contests have been drawing much
attention. The high school class reunions and the Memorial
Weekend picnic drew many former residents back to Morrow
County.
Groups have been taking off for May outings and
sightseeing trips, such as the County Historical Society and
Senior Citizens from Heppner and lone, and families that
have been Impatiently waiting for the prolonged spring rains
to stop. Organizations are sending delegates to conventions
and conferences In Oregon and elsewhere. Eighth graders
from Heppner have again traded places with youths from
Lynch Terrace School east of Portland.
Candidates, voters and election workers kept busy with the
primary election. The Extension Women honored Delpha
Jones. Cara Costa was sworn in as a member of the Heppner
City council. The planning for the recreation area beside the
lake created by the Willow Creek Dam was anxiously
reconsidered by the Heppner Development Corporation, the
Chamber of Commerce and the Army Engineer Corps. It
was Interesting to learn that Portland's Mayor-elect, Bud
Clark, had a grandmother who lived In the Little Butter
Creek area.
Much confusion beset flag flyers over when to fly their
flags Memorial Weekend. The Heppner Legion Post chose to
have flags up on Main Street on Sunday. Many calendars
proclaimed Monday, May 28, as Memorial Day. Old timers
knew that the holiday called Memorial or Decoration Day
which began in 1868 was originally programed for every May
3oth, until the big swing to more three-day weekends caused
it to be shifted to the last Monday in May by most of the U.S.
So some householders flew flags on the one, two or even three
posoible Memorial Days.
If you visited the cemetery on Heppner 's south hill you
noted that in addition to the U.S. flags marking veterans'

graves, the Doherty Family had made small Republic 01
Ireland flags which they placed on their own and other Irish
graves. It seems one family with roots in the old south chose
to display a Confederate flag. Hundreds of persons had
visited the cemetery by Sunday evening and more came on
Monday with flower remembrances.
The overflow crowd at the 1984, sunshine-blessed Pioneer
Memorial Picnic surely made it the most attended sit-down
dinner In county history, but some folks, recalling the 1978
U.S. Bicentennial wagontrain stop at Cecil and remembering
that toward 1,000 attended the big barbecue hosted by the
Krcb Brothers, think that may have been the "largest-ever"
picnic.
One sad news item circulated at the Doherty-hosted picnic
was that Cecelia (Kenny)Bucknum, one of the two living
grandchildren of Irish pioneer Catherine Grant Doherty,
broke her hip the Wednesday before and was taken to the
hospital In Pendleton. Helen (Doherty) Dyer, the other
grandchild, said this accident was a very great disappoint
ment to Cecelia and to all the family.
Next year the picnic's ethnic emphasis will change from
Irish to Swedish as the Louis Carlson Family takes charge.
Quite a few changes have been taking place in the south
county business community. Heppner's mayor (until the
first of next year) Cliff and wife Cindy Green are now
operating the Coast-to-Coast store. The Burkenbine-McCabe
Central Market has about doubled its size and has changed
its front. Those changes were made possible when Heppner
Auto Parts and Heppner Cylinder Head (DeSpain enterpris
es) took over the enlarged and remodeled Morrow County
Creamery Building. The Mabens of Court Street Market
have greatly enlarged and improved their store inside and
have built an attractive brick planter across its front.
Swanson's Insurance at lone proudly showed off its new
office at a recent Open House.
Those of us without children in school don't regularly hear
about some local school problems. We understand that all
over America the matter of celebrations for high school
graduation nights is causing much concern. Many people
agree that a big party may be in order. Keg parties have
become traditional here and lots of other places. They are
accepted by many as "rites of passage" from high school
days into the adult and very real world.
A trend has developed in school districts, usually led by
parents' groups, to try to put on safe and sane graduation
celebreations. Now some organizations in Heppner were
asked to help fund a chartered flight to Portland for dinner
and entertainment which some parents projected with
approval of their Heppner seniors.
High School Principal Jim Bier said the projected outing
would not be a school-sponsored affair, although school buses
could be used to travel to the Pendleton Airport and back to
Heppner. .
Many of us have not heard the final planning for the night
of Friday, June 1. We all are proud of the graduates of our
county high schools. We want them to be happy at
oraduation time. We all wisn inem wen in iuiuic yw.

Lack of funds keeps grads 'on the ground'
and
At the May IS meeting of the
central committee of the so
uth Morrow County Youth
Commiaion plans were begun
for a "senior party" which, it
was hoped would entice the
graduating seniors away from
the unofficial senior kegger
which traditionally follows
commencement exercises.
The committee envisioned
chartering an airplane to fly
the graduates to Portland for
a late dinner and entertain
ment at the Rhlnelander res
taurant. THe management of
the restaurant agreed to stay
open late to serve the Heppner
grads, and arrangements
were made with Horizon char
ter service for an airplane,
however, the committee was
unable to raise adequate funds
to cover the cost of the air
plane and the dinner in such a
short time.
A spokesperson for the com-
Helphinstines
honored at
potluck
An open invitation has been
extended to the public to Join
in a farewell potluck dinner
for the BillHelphinstine fam
ily. The potluck has been sched
uled for Wednesday, June 6,
6:30 p.m. at All Saints' Parish
Hall in Heppner.
For those who would like to
attend, please bring a dessert
if your last name begins with
A - G, H R a main dish, and
S Z a salad.
Children are very welcome,
especially schoolmates and
friends of Kris and Kurt Hel
phinstine, stated Mary Ann
Cerullo, who is organizing the
event.
The Helphinstine's will be
moving to Pasley, Oregon,
later in the month, where Bill
has been promoted to District
Ranger.
mittee said, "There Just was
n't enough time. Next year,
we'll know to start earlier and
have fundraisers." A less
expensive party, the commit-
I
tee felt would not be spectac
ular enough to have the desir
ed effect of luring the grads
away from the traditional celebration.
The South Morrow Youth
Commission Is the outgrowth
of a loosely organized group of
parents and others concerned
about the use of drugs and
alcohol among area youth.
