Letters to the Editor
Congratulations on success of rodeo
To the Editor:
Howdy.
We would like to congratulate
the Oregon Trail Pro Rodeo
Committee and all of the hard
working volunteers of Morrow
County on the success o f getting
the new rodeo arena built. When
completed, it will be a facility of
which the entire county can be
proud.
Secretary Marlene Currin was
a great sport and did an excellent
job getting everybody entered,
while Larry Mills and Frank
Halvorsen kept the action going,
even though we wouldn't let them
sing, announcing the Morrow
County Friday night Rodeo.
The contestants were excep
tional, especially the “ Mutton
Busters” and the cow and calf
riders.
We had 40 participants in the
“ Stick Horse Race” with first-
Rory Kilkenny, second-Shaylynn
Slover and third-Haley Kannard
in the four and five year olds and
first-Katie Kilkenny, ' second-
Ashley Kannard and third-Lane
Bailey in the three and under age
division riding extremely fast
horses. A lexis D outre o f
Pendleton would have won, but
she ran the barrels about 20 times
before the actual race started and
her horse was just plain tuckered
out. Congratulations kids. We
couldn’t have done it without the
help of Darcy Robinson, Sandi
Day, M ark P ointer, Jan
McDowell and Queen Elizabeth
Doherty, Princess Sara Greenup
and Princess Rondi Robinson.
If you missed the Rodeo Friday
night, you missed watching some
talented cowboys and cowgirls
from Morrow County compete in
a sport that continues to keep our
pioneer heritage, a heritage that
is still an important part of our
present, alive. Don’t miss next
years rodeo, it will be better than
ever.
Again, congratulations Mor
row County on a job well done,
(s) Bob and Sherree Mahoney
Mike Mahoney
Pence, Coe exemplify sportsmanship
To the Editor:
Even though, the Shrine Game
was a few weeks ago, it is never
too late to say “ We’re proud of
you” . I would like to take this op
portunity to commend Shrine
players Ryan Pence and Scott
Coe for doing an excellent job of
representing Heppner. These
fellows played long and well and
consequently, the East won the
F R E E BOW LING
for leag ue b o w le rs
Thurs. Aug. 28 to Sept.
3. Com e in and sign up
for your leagues that you
bowl.
Heppner Bowl
game 14 to nine.
More than winning, however,
was the team spirit exemplified in
this game. Team players knock
ed the opposing team to the
ground and then helped them to
their feet with a pat on the back.
They were out there not for
themselves, but for all the patients
in the Shriners hospital. There
was a feeling of camaraderie. Our
boys carried that with them from
their local training. That’s sport
smanship and the kind of attitude
that makes for winning no mat
ter what the score. Teamwork
showed and we’re proud of you
Scott and Ryan. We’re looking
forward to seeing more of the
same as Heppner kicks off its
football season.
Sincerely,
(s) Claudia Hughes

Chamber Chatter
By Claudia Hughes, Chamber Manager
As the dust of “ Wagons Ho”
settles behind the covered wagons
and the Morrow County Fair and
Oregon Trail Pro-Rodeo, just a
few reflections...having ridden
the Morrow County Wagon from
Buttercreek Junction to Well
Springs, I have nothing but great
admiration for the pioneers who
forged ahead into the unknown
that others might follow. (Also
for the walkers in the 1993
Wagon Train).
1993 hardships that the Mor
row County riders observed or
experienced the first day ranged
from viewing runaway horses, to
alkali dust in contact lenses to
missing the porta-potties at the
the rhythmic jogging of Lady and
Pete, under the expert control
of Bob Harrison and Everett
Keithley, the seven hour 22 mile
journey went by rapidly with the
exception of the last hour (and
that’s not for print). The quiet,
sage, dry creek beds, and hot sun
beating down made us wonder
how our ancestors continued on.
As the sun set and modem day
pioneers in their prairie skirts and
sunbonnets were silhouetted
against the skyline of the original
ruts, we understood the impor
tance of the celebration and wish
ed we could continue on with the
adventure. Meeting folks from
England, Ohio, New York,
Missouri, Iowa and circling the
wagons to share music and stories
grows on you. It was a great ex
perience with Cecil the highlight.
Fair and rodeo was also en
joyed by many. Parade
organizers Donna and Chuck
Moeller, Bob Kahl, and crew are
to be commended for the ex
cellent parade and chamber
members who manned the rodeo
gate were very much appreciated.
It was a very successful three
days of rodeo and the hard work
ing volunteers who set up the new
arena should be proud. There’s
potential to make it a bigger com
munity event every year.
And so, we move from one set
of wheels to another with no rest
for the wicked. Cycle Oregon is
but three weeks away with 2200
cyclists coming into Heppner for
lunch on their way to lone. They
will be having a sack lunch in our
city park and arriving between the
hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Heppner will have an information
booth, offer hospitality, hand out
lunches, and hopefully, provide
entertainment. If you know of any
entertainment or would be will
ing to help greet and serve the
cyclists, please contact Cara
Osmin or myself ASAP.
C ham ber w elcom es new
members Ned Clark/Horseshoe
Hereford Ranch, Jack and Ruth
Maben/Court Street Market and
renewing members Tom and
Helen Riehl/R & W Drive In and
Les Schwab.
The chamber program August
31 will be the Forest Service East
End Salvage and Restoration
Project.
Thought for the week:
“ Yesterday is a cancelled check;
tomorrow is a promisory note; to
day is cash in hand; spend it wise
ly.”
Boosters to meet
The Heppner High School
Booster Club has planned a
meeting for Wednesday, Sept. 1
at 7 p.m. at Kate’s Pizza.

Pinworms Are Not
Choosey: They Can
Affect Anyone
Many worm infestations tend
to affect persons who live in rural
or poverty-stricken areas. But not
the pinworm. Pinworms can affect
or infect anyone. And as many as
40 million Americans will have
pinworms each year. School-age
children often bring this tiny intes
tinal worm home to other children
and adults who live in the house
hold. Severe itching around the
anus - especially at night - is the
most common symptom.
Pinworm prevention sometimes
can be achieved when children
sleep in separate beds, and every
one in the home washes hands be
fore placing them in or near mouths.
However, pinworms have been
known to be transmitted on cups,
toothpaste, and doorknobs. Using
the same bathroom as a person
with pinworms can, according to a
recent issue of U.S. Pharmacist ,
cause pinworm egg transfer.
A single dose of nonprescrip
tion m ed icin es that con tain
pyrantel pamoate can eradicate
pinworms from the intestinal tract.
All of the persons in a home usu
ally are candidates for treatment
because infection could be present
without symptoms. A repeat dose
of the medicine after a few days
sometimes is recommended. For
additional information on product
selection and use. talk with your
pharmacist.
