The displays are also intended to pique the com m unity's interest in the mu seum project. Sweek says that the new museum building is sorely needed. "W e've outgrown the building. (The present museum is located on Main Street in Heppner next to the library). We had outgrown the building before we got Shorty's mu seum (an extensive collection of farm im plem ents formerly housed at the Morrow County Fairgrounds). W e're not doing right by the collection now ." Sweek is encouraging as many people as possible to get Local men attend convention Bill McCartney and African- American speakers Tony Evans and E.V. Hill. They addressed areas related to the seven promises. The Promise Keepers was started in 1989 by Colorado football coach McCartney. It is growing at a phenomenal rate, said Jepsen, with 20 to 30 two j day conventions being plann ed for next year. Well over a| million men are expected to at tend, concluded Jepsen. anglers if they prefer a warm- water, combination warmwater and trout fishery, strictly a trout fishery or a different kind of fishery. They also ask the type and size of fish desired, the time of the year the anglers like to fish and whether they prefer to fish off the dock, from a boat or from the bank. Completed q u estio n n aires should be returned by Sept. 15 to: Mor row County Commissioner Ray French, P.O. Box 788, H epp ner, 97836 or dropped off at the Morrow County Courthouse for Commissioner French. Hess said that an additional information will be obtained through a creel census. Census cards will be located at the boat ramp for anglers to provide in formation on the fish they caught, such as species, size and average fishing time. Hess said that ODFW and the Corps want to develop a sustained yield program at the lake. He says that a sustained yield is more economical than a "p u t and take" type of fishery. Hess added that they are trying to discourage people from "self plan tin g " fish, which ultimately would hurt, rather than help the fishing program at the lake. ODFW and ’ the Corps will also take the elevation of the lake and irrigation into account when determining the type of fish to stock. Hess said that the lake is deep enough and cold State Fair deadline approaching The Oregon State Fair is now accepting e n tries in the floriculture department. The deadline for entries is Friday, Aug. 4. Competition in the floral department includes numerous categories in the ju n io r, amateur, advanced and profes sional divisions. Those interested may request a premium book of rules and entry forms by calling (503) 378-3247 or 1 800 833-0011, or writing 2330 17th Street NE, Salem, OR. 97310. It is also possible to pick up booklets at the State Fair Office. enough to lend itself to cold- water species if that is what is desired. He says that they will consider boaters, bank fisher men and skiers, so that none is in conflict with the fish habitat they plan to install. Hess said that the proposed fish stocking and the enhanc ed fish habitat will add to other improvements at the dam, in cluding the hiking trail to the top of the dam, the handicap ped boat i amp at the south end of the lake and, of course, the RV park. He said a sign pro gram for the hiking trail from the city of Heppner to the RV park is in the planning stages. Hess said that other pro grams involving the lake in clude the Science 2000 pro gram, which was coordinated by H ep p n er Junior H igh science teacher Sarah Carlson. This program, adapted to Willow Creek Lake, gave kids hands-on experience w ith water quality testing, which is provided by the Corps. Mor row County Weed Control supervisor Dave Pranger also provided information about weeds in the area. "There is a lot of good poten tial at the lake," concluded Hess. "It's good for the people, good for the community. That's what it's all about." Larry South is also an Army Corps of Engineers park ranger based at The Dalles, involved at Willow Creek Lake. ■ '* ■"*" f Î - • »' -V ... --I í.r * ■■■ ■ - n, . * • ' V / - •••*/. • * "Í'-'.Vl ■ - .4,.; • *"'* .’•AV-. . : .-V ..’ -3 ' 7 *..»•/he . t, Vw ,v .-. r' . i. •< •' > '.

Six Heppner area men were among some 750,000 Christian men to attend one of 13 Pro mise Keepers conventions held around the United States this summer. Tim Van Cleave attended the Seattle Promise Keepers July 7-8. It attracted over 64,000 men to the Kingdome, the stadium's largest crowd this year. In May, Mike McGuire, Tom Norton, Sam Myers, Bill Jepsen and his son, Matt, attended the Boise, ID. Promise Keepers event. The smaller stadium there was limited to 9,000, among whom were many fathers and sons. Promise Keepers is a "non- d en o m in atio n al C h ristian organization designed to help men become men of integrity who are committed to becom ing better husbands, fathers, and community leaders," said Jepsen. The seven promises of a Pro mise Keeper are: honor Jesus Christ through worship, prayer and obedience to His word, through the power of the Holy Spirit; pursue vital relation ships with a few other men, understanding that he needs brothers to help him keep his promises; practice spiritual, moral, ethical and sexual puri ty; build strong marriages and families through love, protec tion and Biblical values; sup port the church by honoring and praying for the pastor and by giving him tim e and resources; reach beyond any racial and denominational bar riers to demonstrate the power of Biblical unity; and influence your world, being obedient to the Great Commandment (He who is not with me is against me) and the Great Commission (Go and make disciples of all nations). The men listened to several nationally known Christian leaders including Gary Smal ley, Howard Hendricks, coach involved in planning for the new museum. The next meet ing is a regular museum board meeting set for August 9 at 7 p.m. at the museum. In Sep tember the whole design team will spend a week or more in Heppner conducting a series of meetings expressly designed for mviting public input. Sweek says she wants people to get in volved both in formulating the philosophy of the new muse um and the physical outlay of the building. By the end of November the final report, with a completed storyline and a schematic design for both the museum building and exhibits is scheduled to be completed. Sweek stresses that no tax money is being spent on the museum project. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is planning to stock Willow Creek Lake with fish. But, before they do, they want to find out what the fishermen want. Rich Hess, park ranger with the Army Corps of Engineers out of The Dalles, says that the Corps will be working with ODFW to put fish shelters in the lake, which is located near Heppner. "We have a master pian, said Hess, but before we put the fish shelters in, we want to find out what the users want. If we get a good pro gram, what the users want, it's obvious that we will more users." "Fishing and overnight cam ping go hand-in-hand," con tinued Hess. "So if there is a good fishery, then we'll draw more fishermen and add to the com m unity." He said that fishermen, especially over- nighters, can add to the local economy by buying food and supplies at local stores. The ODFW and the Corps are jointly sponsoring an angl ing questionnaire which will help them determine what to stock and what not to stock in the lake. Questionnaires will be available at Coast to Coast and Pettyjohn's Building Supply in Heppner, at the boat ramps or office at the dam or by contac ting Lyle Verrall, maintenance worker at the dam. The q u estio n n aires ask S By April Sykes The first stage of the propos ed new museum in Heppner, which is to be housed at the old Morrow County Grain Grow ers elevator on the edge of town, is on display on Main Street in the former Heppner TV office. The abstract display begins to tell the story of the interaction between the land and people, since the museum 's focus is agriculture. "Morrow County has every land use type east of the Cascades, mining, timber, forestry, grazing sheep and cat tle, bo tto m lan d , d ry la n d wheat, the new agri-businesses and food processing, and river transportation, and every land use is an issue right now ," said Brooks Heard, architect with the office of Bryan Burke, Portland, who is working on the project. "W e will be using stories of Morrow County and its families to tell the larger story of the development of agriculture as an industry," said Marsha Sweek, museum director. "The museum will be a continually moving self portrait of the com m unity." Sweek and Heard said that the museum will tell "a co herent story, which may be chronological or may be based on a fairly complete understan ding of the present or past".
