FOUR - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, June 30, 1993 The Official Newspaper o f the City o f Heppner and the County o f Morrow Chamber Chatter By Claudia Hughes, Chamber Manager Heppner A Wee Bit O ’lreland has crept into our lives in the middle of summer. We have a wee mystery on our hands. It seems that one of our St. Patrick’s leprechauns holding the welcome sign has taken a vacation. He must not have liked being stored for a year at a time with all the other wee folks. If he reads this, however, we want him to know that we are very happy to know that he is still alive and well. It was feared by the leprechaun transportation committee that he might not be seen again. Today he sent a note, mailed in Boise, on a Tualatin Oregon note pad stating “ Am having a wonderful time. Met a cute little country dogger. See you in the late future.” Now I understand the strange message on my answering machine a few months ago, which sounded like an Irish visitor wanted me to locate a country dogger that ap pealed to him. The mystery con tinues. Are there any Irish detec tives expert at locating leprechauns? If so, drop by the office for clues. (Thank goodness for a good sense of humor and fun in our busy lives!) Have you visited Morrow County’s newest “ old” store? What a treat to have a rest stop in Cecil complete with gifts, an tiques, and an opportunity to take a step back in time at an actual stage stop. Hours are 9 to 5, seven days a week. If you haven’t heard, pass the word, Joe Yocom needs to locate a mule, within the next 10 days, to replace the one gone lame, or he will not be able to continue on his Oregon Trail journey. Please give his family a call. Morrow County wants to hear tales of the entire trip after he arrives in Oregon City. The Chamber office is now moved into the GEODC building across the street. There are only a few boxes left to be sorted and unpacked and the brochures are on the display rack. Remember, if you are planning a trip we have phone numbers of Chamber of fices across the United States and many brochures for Oregon. Drop in to say “ hello” on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Next week: Chamber board and business meeting. We welcome new members. Thought for the week: “ A human beings’ first responsibili ty is to shake hands with him self ’...H.

Happy Birthday America. “ My County TisofT hee, Sweet Land of Liberty” . One hundred fifty years ago commenced one of the greatest migrations of human kind. People sacrificing to carve one of the greatest regions of the world into a place of great pro ductivity, Oregon. As the century rapidly revolves into the next and a new millenium begins, there is much to look for ward to. In looking forward it is also a very good time to look back in retrospect. Perhaps simplicity, respect for self as well as others, fiindamen- tals that have effectively shaped a culture are still valid in creating life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, are still valid keys to a greatness o f a country. Remember the lady standing in New York harbor? Holding her torch and holding a book? Should we forget why this symbol exists. I should hope not for futures sake and our sake. I am proud to be American and to be privileged in living in Oregon and Heppner. American people live here, their legacy is strength, their spirit giving and caring. We are the people of Oregon and America. (s) Robert A. Gaines The Dalles invites Oregon Trail visitors To the Editor: Many com m unities, from Missouri to Oregon, are par ticipating in the 150th anniversary of the Oregon Trail. The educa tional benefits of this celebration are of the utmost importance to the youth of our communities, after all, they are growing up where history was made. Those early pioneers are gone, taking with them the first hand accounts of one of the most renowned journeys in the history of the United States of America. These stories come to life at the Oregon Trail “ Living History Exhibit” at Crates Point in The Dalles. After viewing interpretive panels and listening to actors who portray pioneers, businessmen and scoundrels of the 1840’s, guests can decide if they want to take the Columbia River route or stay on land and travel the Barlow Road to the Willamette Valley. Early craft demonstrations, oxen, covered wagons, cabins and an indian log house are just part of this spectacular exhibit. I would like to invite everyone to refresh their memory of Oregon Trail history by visiting this exposition before its conclu sion on September 26. For specific information call The Dalles Convention and Visitor’s Bureau at 1-800-255-3385. We're looking forward to sharing the past with you.
