Stan Hoobing Gordon Hepner If you come across a set of skid marks on the freeway east of Arl ington it’s probably the set left by Canadian Gordon Hepner, when he saw the exit sign for the city of Heppner. Although the spelling isn’t quite the same, the similarity in names was enough to cause Gordon Hepner to want to visit the city of Heppner. A vehicle manager for the British Columbia Rapid Transit Company, Hepner says he was on his way east when he spotted the Heppner exit sign. “ You’ll probably see my skid marks on the freeway,’’ Gordon said at the Morrow County Courthouse Monday. “ When I saw that sign I knew I had to see this place.” Hepner said as far as he knows there is no relation between his family and the man our town was named after, but he “ had to” take the detour and stop for lunch.

Diana Kincaid and Marlene Pointer also participated in the writing contest Although they had no regional winners the teachers said the children learned a great deal in the research and writing ex perience. Each of the students who entered an essay received a cer tificate from the Trailblazers. Bill Kannard was the local contest coordinator. “ Why do you seek the living among the dead?" (Luke 24:5) When Mary Magdalene, Joanna. Mary the mother of James and the other women came to the tomb early in the morning of the first day of the week, they expected to find Jesus lying dead in the tomb. They had brought spices to anoint his body for burial. However, they did not expect to see the stone rolled away from the tomb and two men in dazzling apparel say to them: "Remember . that the Son of man must be delivered in the hands of sinful men. and be crucified and on the third day rise.” (Luke 24: 6-7) They did not expect this and were perplexed. They went and told the disciples, “ but these words seem to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them.” (Luke 24: 12). It is true today—almost 2,000 years later. People don’t believe that Jesus rose from the dead. He is ancient history. And many of those who do, ex pect to find him in lofty places-large glass cathedral with heavenly choral music with eloquent preaching. But he who once died, now lives and comes to us in the ordinary things of everyday life—a book (the Bible), water (sacra ment of Baptism), bread and wine (sacrament of Holy Communion) and in the gathering of sanctified sinners (the church'. Yes, Jesus the Risen Christ, is very much alive and comes to us not in things of the dead past, but in the ordinary things of life. And in and through them he freely pours out for us his love, grace, mercy, compassion and hope. Come and be spiritually refreshed by gifts of Risen Christ in the ordinary things of everyday life. The Rev. Gerry Ethchison Matthew 28:5-7 tells us, “ But the angel said to the women, ‘Do not be afraid; for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. Lo, I have told you." The angel was speaking to Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary as they stood beside the empty tomb. That great statement “ He has risen” is the centerpiece of our Christian faith. The fact that the resurrected Christ experienced victory over death not only makes the cross a symbol of life instead of death, it also puts new meaning within our lives. Crucifixion was a common form of execution in Jesus’ day, (remember the two thieves who were on crosses beside Jesus), but the resurrection has changed all of that. When we look at the cross we now see the love of God entering our lives through Christ. This fact reveals that we can have a new, and better life. Our life has new meaning because God working through the resurrected Christ is always with us. This provides us with a renewed hope in life. No wonder the Psalmist said, "The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?” Happy Easter.
