lone High athlete samples
food, football in England
By Anne Morter
lone High School athlete Eric
Orem recently returned from his
spring break football trip to England.
Eric, a junior, traveled with about 60
other football players and two
coaches from around Oregon to
England where they played two
games of American football against
local high school teams.
On the business end of things,
Eric’s team won a game and lost a
game. They fell to the Stockport
Falcons, 2-0, in six inches of slop
py English mud in their first match
up, but they walked over the St.
Helen’s Cardinals, 46-6, in their se
cond outing. The second game was
played in Liverpool in a rugby
stadium on artificial turf, a new ex
perience for Eric. Eric was a starter
on defense, playing outside
linebacker.
The boys had the opportunity to do
a fair amount of sightseeing between
games and practice. They were lodg
ed at the Britannia Delphi Hotel in
Liverpool, one of the nicest hotels
in town. They toured the Church of
England and even got to see the
Queen and her motorcade as they
were leaving the church. They spent
a day in London where, among other
things, they toured Old Scotland
Yard and rode on “ the tube” .
According to Eric, London was
“ spotless” with no trash thrown
about and well-manicured parks.
This was quite a contrast to Liver
pool which was not nearly so tidy.
Eric reports that the natives treat
B a rg a in
London like a parlor used strictly for
company but Liverpool and other
cities are more like home where they
don’t feel bad throwing their things
around.
Eric also enjoyed viewing the
countryside which consisted of miles
and miles of green rolling hills
broken up by rock fences. He said
the terrain was similar to here, main
ly because of the lack of trees, but
the greenness and the dampness
reminded him of the Willamette
Valley.
One thing that did not impress Eric
was the food. “ They call it Old
English cooking,” he said. He said
he found the food bland and the meat
raw. He reports that he relied on the
local McDonald’s, Kentucky Fried
Chicken and Pizza Hut to stave off
starvation.
“ It was very exciting,” said Eric,
noting that the trip was a great ex
perience. He made some new friends
and was able to sample a bit of
another culture.
Eric is the son of Joe and Anita
Orem of lone.

Rev. Lynda Crane
The Reverend Lynda Crane,
pastor of Heppner Christian Mis
sionary Fellowship, recently return
ed from Moscow, USSR, where
plans were made for taking mis
sionary teams into Russia in the
future.
The Reverend Crane, along with
Flo Ellers of Alaska, report hearing
of empty grocery shelves and severe
shortages. They said they experienc
ed exorbitant prices and aft “ eXfctte1
ment among the population for the
Word of God and the re-opening of
their churches.”
Century old church edifices,
originally part of a Christian nation,
were closed down by the govern
ment over 70 years ago. “ Burning
zeal for God’s truth has remained in
the hearts of the people, however,
and they now cry out to the world
for evangelism, and ministry of the
Gospel of God,” they said. Moscow
has a population of over 5,000,000,
with only 3,000 known Christians.
Crowded living conditions were
experienced first-hand. A Russian
pastor and his family entertained the
Reverend Crane and Ellers in their
home, a tiny three-bedroom apart
ment. This tiny dwelling housed 16
people with a baby soon to be bom.
Public areas of the apartment
building were dark, damp and soil
ed but the personal living area was
pleasant and remarkably orderly,
considering the excessive crowding.
This pastor was asked what word
he would give to the American
Church. According to Pastor Crane,
he said, “ You spoke of hearts grow
ing cold in America. Remember
also, America, the blessing God has
given you over and over. I have a
story to tell you. A thief was arrested
and put in prison. At that time the
keys to a very important safe in the
city were lost. He was offered
freedom if he would open the safe
with his sensitive hands. There were
no instruments available. His sen
sitive hands opened the safe. We

Christians must feel the pain of
others. The government influenced
the Church. The problem of the
church in America is our problem as
well. We have common problems
and we must pray together for the
problems of ail human beings.”
Invitations were extended to
Heppner Christian Missionary
Fellowship to bring ministry teams
to Russia to evangelize and teach
God’s word. Plans are now being
formulated to send teams from this
Heppner base. The first such team
will go early this summer.
Heppner Christian Missionary
Fellowship has functioned for the
past six years, following a vision the
Reverend Crane said God gave her
in the early 1980s. This vision
directed Heppner Christian Mis
sionary Fellowship to send mis
sionary teams to all parts of the
world, the USA and the local area.
Teams have since gone to Nigeria,
Ghana, Mexico, Malaysia, China,
Taiwan, Russia, Canada and the
Philippines. Within the USA, teams
have ministered in Texas, Arizona,
California, Washington, Idaho,
Montana, Alaska and Oregon.
Currently, team leader, Jane
McDougall of Canada, is in the
Philippines for two months. On
April 4, the Reverend Crane’s
daughter, Kim, and Robbie Smith of
Portland, will join her in the Philip
pines foe two months of missionary
ministry.
Christians from many parts of our
country join the Heppner Christian
Missionary Fellowship teams. This
fellowship is non-denominational
and is affiliated with Full Gospel
Fellowship International of Oregon
and with Samaria Ministries, Santa
Maria, Philippines.

Library district
topic of meeting
Formation of a Morrow County
library district was the topic of a
meeting held March 25 at the Irrigon
City Hall. It was attended by
representatives from Boardman,
Heppner, and Irrigon.
Mary Ginnane, rural consultant
from the state library, was on hand
to help with the planning process by
providing comparisons with other
library districts in the state and with
the standards for Oregon public
libraries, voluntary standards ap
proved by the Oregon Library
Association.
Ginnane discussed the advantages
of a county library district, including
stability of funds, an elected board
whose only focus is libraries, cen
tralized planning, discounts from
booksellers for combined orders, an
automation system allowing anyone
to know what books are in each
library, and a professional librarian.
The district would also be eligible
for LSCA Federal Grants to improve
library buildings or build new ones.
Budget needs for personnel,
facilities, materials, and transporta
tion were explored. The benefits of
a bookmobile versus a courier van
servicing drop stations at smaller
locations were discussed. Since on
ly Heppner has an adequate library
facility, alternatives for facilities at
all other locations were explored.
The task force hopes to have more
specific information on the options
available by the next meeting.
The next meeting will be held on
Wednesday. April 10, at 7 p.m. in
lone. The agenda will include con
tinuing work on a plan and propos
ed budget for the district. The public
is invited. Those wishing to carpool
from Boardman should meet at the
Boardman City Hall by 6 p.m.
