The State Employment Office
kiosk is now operational at
Central Market in Heppner.
According to Barb Jeppeson,

State Employment Office in
Hermiston, the kiosk provides
current job openings from all

basic information on obtaining
information from community
service organizations, such as
food banks, educational
facilities, Adult and Family Ser
vices and housing authorities.
She says that the kiosk is
easy to use, with touch screen
directions, and will print out in
formation. She adds that in ad
dition to those seeking jobs, the
kiosk will also benefit employ-
ers who may enter their job
openings free of charge. Right
now, says Jeppeson, job open
ings include listings from the
Heppner Ranger District. Em
ployers may call 503 567-3381 to
sign up.
Forms are also available at the
kiosk to sign up for unemploy
ment. Those applying should
fill out the forms and mail to
the address appearing on the
form. They need not travel out
of town to apply. Forms are
available at the Neighborhood
Center. Representatives from
the employment office and
other agencies are scheduled
to be at the Neighborhood
Center the second Thursday of
the month from 10 a.m. to 2

E w Mil M,r—
It is fortunate that the Easter bunny sports a fur coat. But he
probably incurred very damp feet while hiding goodies in the
frosty grass. Hopefully, it will quit freezing at nights at least by
the Fourth of July.
While spring weather seems to be getting shortchanged, it does
not thwart the efforts of several groups of hard-working
volunteers. Those groups are involved year around in the stag
ing of the Morrow County Fair and Oregon Trail Pro Rodeo.
Plans for upgrading the grounds are underway by a full slate
of fair board members that include Tim Coe, Marlene Gray, Sam
Bellamy, Roscoe Qualls, and new member Roger Cash, from
Boardman. The large contingent of rodeo committee members
continues to work diligently to sponsor a professional show.
There will be a lot of painting going on at the grounds, once
the weather cooperates, according to board members. The rodeo
committee plans to have a major tree planting session to enhance
the rodeo arena facilities.
It is time to have all premium book information handed in. This
year's booklet form of the premium book will be published by
the Heppner Gazette-Times. The fair committee welcomes any
fair premium book advertisers to help pay that expense.
Community fair booths will once again be featured at this year's
fair. So it is time for organizations and clubs to make a commit
ment and start planning entries. This year's theme, "Look What
Kids Can Do" is dedicated to the accomplishments of our youth.
Since we are all kids at heart, it should be easy to depict many
of the things in which residents are involved. We have many
talented people living in our county.
Hats Off to the 1995 Grand Marshal, Harold 'Shorty' Peck, who
has donated a lifelong collection of antique machinery and im
plements to the county. May his 1903 Sears buggy, with Shorty
at the wheel, continue to be a part of all future parades.
Fair superintendents will be issued passes this year, in recogni
tion of the many hours of volunteer services that they contribute
to the fair. "The Lansings" have again been hired for an infor
mal street dance at the fair grounds and other entertainment is
in the works.
For those wishing to purchase $10 fair admission and Morrow
County rodeo tickets, there will be the chance of winning a draw
ing for $50. PRC A rodeo admission will be a separate charge,
as in the past.
The long-standing tradition of our county fair and rodeo is
possible only through the dedication of all those who are involv
ed. Yet it takes a commitment by everyone, as an individual or
as part of a group, to showcase this annual affair. Whether it
is the work of an exhibitor with a few entries, a community booth,
or an entry in the parade, everything adds up to a successful
show.
