exhibits-first the land, then the
people, and finally, the interac

people. The displays are also
intended to pique the com
m unity's interest in the mu

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

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

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

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.

amateur, advanced and profes

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.

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.

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".
