Cellular phone service for
Heppner and a wide surroun
ding area will be implemented
by the construction of a 120 foot
tower to be located about 200
yards north of the cross on the
hill behind Pioneer Memorial
Hospital.
Cellular One is in the process
of surveying and engineering
an all-weather access road,
designed to prohibit runoff A 9
by 12 seven foot high building
will also be constructed to
house electronic equipment,
which will be fenced. Comple
tion of_ constuction is an-
ticipated in early spring.
According to Jeff Penick, site
acquistion specialist for Cellular
One, this particular site has
proven to be the most advan
tageous point for providing ser
vice for a growing number of
cellular phone users. Penich
said that this service could pro
ve to be very advantageous to
ranchers and farmers when
rural service is needed.He add
ed that a growing number of
business people now take ad
vantage of cellular phone ser
vice while traveling.

Senior Center
Bulletin Board
The Garden Club dried flower arranging workshop was a big
success Monday evening, Nov. 14 in spite of the cold room. The
senior center heat pump was not working properly. Hopefully
it will be taken care of within the next week.
There were 125 present for the senior Thanksgiving dinner Nov.
16 with 10 meals taken out. Members of the Mormon Church
served. There was no blood pressure clinic held.
The menu for the Birthday dinner Wed., Nov. 30, will be roast
beef, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, rolls, carrot sticks,
and cake. Members of the Catholic Church will serve.
No one played cards Friday. Ten people watched the movie
"Driving Miss Daisy" Sunday evening.
The tentative date for the bus trip to Mission is Dec. 6. The
AAA meeting will be held at the Pendleton meal site Dec. 8. The
bus will go if enough people sign up. The bus will also go to
Echo and Pendleton the middle of December so that seniors can
see the Christmas lights and have supper either at Echo or
Pendleton.
Other dated to remember are: Monday, Bible study 10 a.m.;
Tues. and Thurs., exercise 10 a.m.; Wed., noon Senior meal; Fri
day cards, 2 p.m.; Sunday movie, 7 p.m. Quilting will resume
at a date to be announced later.
Two vacant apartments are being cleaned and painted. Florence
Holt and Mema Toll moved to Hill House operated by Nella Britt.
The first floor apartment is being remodeled and new windows
installed. New tenants will be moving in soon.
Happy Thanksgiving every one.

Cellular service comes to Heppner
mu
My cup perhaps runneth over, along with kitchen counter space
and closets. It's so easy to take for granted a cozy shelter, home
warmth and abundant foods, not to mention family and friends.
Layers of warm clothing ward off winter's chill. But it does seem
strange to see young people cultching expensive jackets while
leaving their lower extremities somewhat exposed to the
elements. However this is in line with today's fashions of wear
ing shorts year around or even donning shorter skirts.
However fickle the fashion world, there are some family
customs that persist for traditional holiday meals. Yet I'd delight
in passing on the experiences of chasing that turkey or goose
through the muck, chopping off its head and the causing the kit
chen to look as though it had been tarred and feathered. Pluck
ing a bird indoors caused elusive feathers to waft to the ceiling.
Then that unfortunate bird had to be shinged, eviserated, washed
and carefully inspected for pinfeathers.
How simple to purchase a tidy, smooth-skinned, plastic-
wrapped turkey. No more hoarding dried bread for months.
Along with the prepared stuffing mix there are cans of cranber
ries and yams. For a quick fix there are salad greens ready to
toss. Bake and Serve rolls add that homey touch. And the culinary
expert can prepare a pie disguised in a store-bought pie shell.
Times have changed since we used to stock enough flour to
thoroughly dust an elephant. The rolling pin doesn't get wash
ed as often anymore. That sourdough pot contributing to biscuits
and sweet rolls plus endless loaves of light bread are staples that
expanding waistlines can do without.
Yet this traditional holiday food orgy brings to mind that it's
time to find suitable family Christmas gifts. Many of today's
gadgets, which are highly advertised, perhaps are only status
symbols. Few of today's kitchens lack a toaster, coffee maker,
a mixer and a blender or food processor. With a microwave oven
it's much easier to keep the stove clean.
How many kitchen counters or cupboards have storage space
for all the appliances including a wok, electric skillet or griddle,
waffle iron, crock pot, deep fryer, electric roaster and popcorn
popper. Then there's the automatic bread maker, the coffee mill
and the espresso machine, the juicer, the hot dog cooker and
of course, the salad shooter and the food dehydrator.
It's been less than 50 years since ranches in this area came on
line for dependable electric service. The cooks of that former era
can remember defending their space with a cast iron skillet as
pots bubbled merrily on the old Monarch wood range.
Today's chef probably spends more time at a computer than
at the kitchen stove Brownies often come from a package and
the cold cuts and bread for lunches are conveniently purchased
at the store.
Hooray for such conveniences. I don't even want to think about
firing up a wood stove just to have hot water when outside
temperatures reaches 100 degrees. However today's Christmas
giving seems to boil down to disposable items like kleenex, unless
the latest in electronic gadgets is a must on those "w ant” lists.

Butch Laughlin, Heppner,
Mark Pointer, Lexington, and
Ashley McCabe, lone, of Mor
row County Grain Growers in
Lexington and Wasco, traveled
to St. Louis for an in-depth look
at the latest in Case IH
agricultural equipment.
Among other products, they
saw the next generation of Case
IH Axial-Flow® combines.
"The first Axial-Flow com
bines, introduced nearly 20
years ago, redefined a good
harvest, providing better quali
ty grain and more of it from an
exceptionally dependable
machine," said a Case IH press
release. The new 2100 Series
machines provide the same
superb grain handling and
reliability while setting new in
dustry standards for operator
comfort and convenience."
The new 2144, 2166 and 2188
combines feature an all-new
cab, as well as upgraded elec
tronics, hydraulics and power
train. "I'm looking forward to
getting these out in the field
with my customers," said
Laughlin.
at the dealer meeting they
received an update on
Case, including its business
and product development
plans. Earlier this year, Case
stock was sold in a public offer
ing for the first time in many
years. Immediately prior to
that, the company appointed a
new president, Jean Pierre
Rosso, who has been spear
heading important changes to
improve product development
and distribution, and customer
service.
Case IH dealers also had the
opportunity to involve their
parts and service personnel in
seminars on more than 30 sub
jects, as well as a parts trade fair
featuring the latest products
and services from suppliers
allied
with
Case.
Headquartered in Racine,
Wis., Case Corporation is the
second-largest maker of
agricultural equipment in
North America and the largest
manufacturer and distributor of
light and medium sized con
struction equipment in the
world. Case products are sold
in approximately 150 countries
through a network of about
4,100 independent dealers and
distributors.
Looney still in intensive care
John Looney of Heppner, re
mains in intensive care at
Oregon Health Sciences
University Hospital in Portland
following a motor vehicle acci
dent Nov. 7 that left him in
critical condition.
Looney sustained injuries to
his head, ribs and left knee in
addition to a bruised lung.
Following the accident he was
taken by ambulance to Good
Shepherd Community Hospital
in Flermiston and life-flighted
out to the Portland hospital.
Looney's wife Rhonda says
that while he is improving dai
ly, the family doesn't know
when he will be able to return
home. Following his discharge
he will need lengthy physical
therapy. "He has a long way to
g o," said Rhonda. "H e won't
be able to work for at least a
year." She adds that she is
grateful for the support given
to her by the Heppner com
munity. "The strength of this
town amazes m e," she said.
The Looneys have four sons,
Bill 19, John a seventh grader,
Matt, a sixth grader and Tony
a fourth grader. Rhonda and
the family spent the first two
weeks following the accident at
the hospital. She is at home
now, but anticipates returning
after Thanksgiving.
