\ EIGHT - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, July 14, 1993 Drs. Berrettas honored Bike-a-thon T-shirts to be distributed By Anne Morter Photo by Joyce Hughes Drs. Jeanne (left) and Ed were presented a plaque of ap preciation from chamber president Rollie Marshall during a desert in honor of the doctors on Tuesday at Chamber. This is the doctors’ fifth anniversary in Heppner and service to the community. Over 100 people attended the appreciation desert during the noon hour, while community members Judge Louis Carlson, Kevin Erick, Molly Rhea, Jay Straley, Larry Mills, Doc Huber, Forrie Burkenbine and Claudia Hughes all spoke about special funny things the doctors have done. The T-shirts have arrived for the 1993 St. Jude Bike-A-Thon and will be distributed this week, according to event coordinator Loa McElligott. The bike-a-thon, which was staged in late May, brought in a record amount of the children's cancer research hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. Participants collecting more than $30 receive a colorful, bike-a- thon T-shirt. Founded by Danny Thomas in 1962, St. Jude Research Hospital is the largest childhood cancer research treatment education center in America. It is not af filiated with any religion and children o f any race, religion or financial status are welcomed and treated there. The hospital pro vided medical care for over 3,200 active patients. Currently, an average o f $215,000 per day is needed each day to keep the doors open. These funds come primari ly from public contributions. This year's ride was dedicated to Brian, a young cancer patient at St. Jude. At last word, Brian is still in remission and the hospital staff hopes to see that continue. "The kids should feel proud to be instrumental in Brian's fight, and others like him,” says Loa McElligott. McElligott also reports that the hospital was very impressed with the amount raised by the lone event. “ The kids really hustled this year,” she said. HOST FAMILIES NEEDED!

Some Heppner residents have a link to the U.S. Body Board champions-a very close link. Madge and Jim Thomson, Heppner, had a visit this weekend from the two champions, who just happen to be their grandsons, Aaron and Ammon Walters, Shell Beach, CA. The 18 year old identical twins, are the sons of the Thomsons’ daughter Meredith Walters. Aaron and Ammon are m em bers o f the National Scholastic Surfing Association (NSSA) a national team which represents the U.S. at body boar ding. The team is comprised of 19 surfers and two body boarders. A body board is similar to the surf board, but it is softer and shorter and more manueverable than a surfboard. Body boarders lie down on the board, while surfers stand up. The boys, who graduated from San Luis Obispo High School this June, will be attending Brigham Young University at Laie, Hawaii this fall, on a part scholarship from the NSSA. Laie is located on the northeast side of Oahu. The boys say their two older brothers, Rusty and Duane, got them involved in body boarding, and add that going to Hawaii has always been their dream. Both will be majoring in inter national business with an em phasis on the surfing industry and minoring in health. They are in terested in marketing products related to the surfing industry. Besides surfing and attending school, Aaron and Ammon pro mote surfing products to help pay for the contests in which they compete. “ We also have strong family support," said the twins. “ We couldn't compete without support from our family.” Fair and Oregon Trail Pro Rodeo Court travels to Elgin stampede The Morrow County Fair and Oregon Trail Pro Rodeo Court traveled to Elgin to participate in the Elgin Stampede Parade and Rodeo this past Sunday.
