TWO - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, August 7, 1991 Magic fingers outfit Fair and Rodeo court and fringes and look like they had been purchased in an exclusive western boutique. She also constructed satin blouses with lace overlays and sequins for the five court members. And with her sewing machine in high gear, she completed 11 tuxedo long-sleeved shirts with arrowhead appliques for each court member and pennant bearer. To complement these shirts, she also fashioned tuxedo ties. Striving to help make this year’s court one of the best dressed for all occasions, Ashbeck made Sante Fe short-sleeved shirts for the girls’ work outfits. And for the court’s many travels this summer, she designed boot bags to carry their western footwear. To complete this year’s court war drobes, along with the princesses black hats and boots, the court selected western pants, denim split skirts, jackets, visors and T-shirts emblazoned with the Morrow Coun ty Fair and Rodeo logo; This skillful seamstress has helped give this year’s court girls a fashion- plate look, they say. Their outfits, along with well-groomed horses and tack, have, no doubt, helped them to earn many parade ribbons. Their wardrobes have also been planned to give them suitable outfits for all oc casions. It's no wonder they stand out, whether it’s at a parade, a lun cheon. a meeting or just handing out ribbons and prizes. Norma Ashbeck measures the final hem length on the blouse of Queen Jodee Ashbeck Almost like the magic in a Cinderella fable, Norma Ashbeck’s busy fingers have helped create a high-fashion wardrobe for this year's Morrow County Fair and Rodeo Court and their pennant bearers. Norma and her husband. Jerry, are Buttercreek wheat ranchers. For helpers, they have two sons. They are also cousins of Queen Jodee and Princess Jenni. Norma’s creative ability has pro duced many original handmade quilts ranging from crib size to large decorative spreads. She is known for her dried-flower wreaths and swags. She is also adept at creating almost any wardrobe item without the aide of a commercial pattern. Just by looking at the white western dress that was purchased for Queen Jodee, Ashbeck made identically-styled teal blue dresses for the four princesses. These detail ed dresses are complete with yokes Fred Lundin to leave Heppner Fred Lundin, agriculture exten sion agent in Morrow County, will be leaving in September, according to Roger Fletcher.

Morrow County has made us feel very welcome.” Lundin's transfer becomes effec tive September 15. It is not known as yet, when the position will be refilled. “The position being vacated by Lundin will have to compete with other vacant positions in Oregon for available money,” Fletcher said. “While we are anxious to refill all vacancies, the restrictions imposed by Ballot Measure 5 have forced us to evaluate this position relative to all open positions before we fill it.” Extension agents both in Morrow County and in adjoining counties will assume Lundin's responsibilities until a replacement is found. Plan now for wool contest Brenda Holtz wins all-around at horse show A road patching job that began on Main Street in Heppner Tuesday, Ju ly 30, was expected to be finished Wednesday, Aug. 7. According to State Highway supervisor in Heppner, Ron Dowse, his crew is grinding out broken pave ment and putting new hot mix (asphalt and concrete) in the cracks and potholes. Dowse said the project is underway now so that they won’t have to use cold mix in the winter, which, according to Dowse, doesn’t stay well. Dowse said that his crew during the winter is down to around two, which also makes winter repairs difficult. Dowse said that next year, pro bably in July, the Highway Division plans to redo the main streets. He said that they will either grind out the street from curb to curb and put on new asphalt, or will put on a new overlay. The job next summer will include the streets from mile post 39 to 47 and from Coast to Coast to Willow Creek Junction. Next week the crew plans to build a detour around the Shobe Creek Bridge above the old Jones place so that the bridge can be replaced by E Rings Original Designs of Black Hills Gold. For over 100 years the master goldsmiths of F. L. Thorpe have created Original Black Hills Gold Jewelry. See our selection of heirloom quality rings, some with precious and semi-precious stones pipe. They will replace the bridge with a 60-foot culvert and will widen the road from 20 to 28 feet. Dowse said that the crew had been involved in widening the shoulder near the Heppner swimming pool before they were pulled off the job for other projects. He said he expects that they will return to that project this fall.
