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.

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.”
