MNMMMtaa TWO - Heppner Gazette-Times. Heppner, Oregon Wednesday. September 27, 1995 Ruth Locust start fall meetings Ruth Locust Chapter No. 32, Order of the Eastern Star, resumed regular monthly meetings on Monday evening with a full slate of newly install ed officers. Leaders for the new year are Pat Hyatt, worthy matron, and John Wood, worthy patron, with the following elected and appointed officers: Gloria Guthery, associate matron; Stewart Guthery, associate pa tron; Dot Halvorsen, secretary; Lorraine Ladd, treasurer; Susie Cooper, conductress; Rosalie Meads, associate conductress; Sylvia Sandford, marshal; Ken neth Smouse, chaplain; Mary Helene Shaw, organist; Florene Robinson, Adah; Katherine Lindstrom, Ruth; Frances Smouse, Esther; Alice Hansen, Martha; Laura Searl, Electra; Lucille Berry, warder and George Bennett, sentinel. A report on Grand Chapter held in Pendleton in June was given by jr. past grand patron, Stewart Guthery. Guthery said it was a very successful conven tion at which the elected del egates voted to allow the full membership in Oregon a vote and full participation in the business of Grand Chapter, rather than the chosen delegates to represent them. The changes will begin with next year's convention which will be held at the Pendleton Convention Center. All benevolent projects of the Grand Chapter were most suc cessful,* said a group spokes person. It was announced that the Cancer Fund, begun about 1970, has contributed $825,000 to date. This fund is annually given to Oregon Health Sciences University for cancer research. Other projects in clude the Eastern Star awards for religious training, which awards about 25 scholarships yearly; the Home Endowment Fund, which supports the Masonic and Eastern Star Home at Forest Grove; the Shriners Hospital and other special projects chosen by the worthy grand matron. The next meeting will be Oct. 9, when Sue Mills of Klamath Falls, associate grand conduc tress, will be here for her official visit and school of instruction. A potluck dinner will be serv ed at 6:30 p.m. with members bringing salads and desserts. The Eastern-Central Oregon Assoc, will meet at Cherry Chapter in Cove on Sunday, Sept. 24. Members are invited to bring salads and desserts for the noon luncheon preceding the meeting. Lexington News By Delpha Jones________ About 25 family members were -:-Cecil and Delpha Jones present.

She and the others will leave Portland on Monday, Sept. 18 and return Tuesday, Oct. 3. The purpose of the trip is to gain better understanding bet ween the Lutheran Churches of the two countries and to establish a companion synod relationship between the Oregon Synod of the Evangel ical Lutheran Church in America and the Kosciol Ewangelicko - Augsburski w PRL, said Reverend Stan Hoob- ing pastor of the Hope-Valby Lutheran Parish. Both churches have about the same number of congregation and pastors, but differences in population and area. "It will be a chance for Bishops Jan Szarek and Paul Swanson to meet and share ministry concerns," said the Rev. Hoobing. One of the goals of the program is to establish sister congregation. Rawlins has been teaching various Polish phrases and incor porating them in the worship services over the summer months. Students receives sch o larsh ip s The University of Idaho has awarded over $2.7 million in scholarships to new and conti nuing students for the 1995-96 academic year. Brent Sheirbon and Jim Tellechea, both Lex- ington, were among those receiving scholarships. Sheir bon and Tellechea both receiv ed the Charles Ambrose Adams award. Tellechea also received the Washington Water Power scholarship. One doesn't have to leave Heppner to view scenic beauty. The Heppner Garden Club knows how to stage a progressive garden party. There are hidden treasures in city dwellers' backyards. Gee, those dirt dabblers can grow more in the limited space of once-barren unlevel lots than I could grow on 40 acres. Maybe it has something to do with my irrigating technique using what my grandson labeled as "th e sprinkler head from hell". Some 30 plus years have gone into the development behind houses belonging to Daisy Collins and Mary Goheen. One could get lost in a forest of trees. While "oohing and aahing" at that steep hillside, abundant with plants and flowers, members and guests sampled tasty hors d'oeuvres and Daisy's homemade wine. Further taste testing on my part and I wouldn't have been able to distinguish between flowers and trees. I could only marvel at the work that has gone into making and maintaining such a hillside attraction. Roses and flowers in the Riley Munkers' front yard along with the magnificent cedar and spruce trees in back speak of lots of work. They have their own source of Christmas greenery and I suspect that more boughs of cedar will be sacrificed for Christmas wreaths. After taking a minute to "smell the roses", it seems that some roses aren't worth a scent. Meanwhile guests sampled delicious fruit nestled in an artistically carved watermelon shell. An eye-catching rock garden including a wishing well at the Adlard home is hidden from viewing on the street side. All that rock and dirt toting has commanded a strong back and dedica tion. And the Laceys have updated the former Justine Weather ford yard into an inviting garden scene complete with hot tub, deck and a covered barbecue area. Janell's sunflower patch may be partially "for the birds" but her flowers bring human enjoyment. The trumpet vine in the middle of the Rawlins' patio was in full glory complementing a host of petunias, geraniums and marigolds plus other flowers that anyone would die for, heaven forbid. A vine-covered shed there is the best "cover-up" job in town. Jane must have a flock of genies, including son, Tom, to grow and water all those posies. Master gardeners and "w anna-be's" trooped along to admire the flowers and landscaping. At various stops there were taste treats. From appetizers to dessert, it was a food lover's holiday. Garden fresh corn from the Rawlins' patch would make even a scarecrow clap hands. The chicken and brocolli casseroles were scrumptious. Yum! Trust me to pig out, though I didn't get to complete this tour; therefore missing some of the highlights. It's amazing that these gardeners find time to provide beauty on Heppner's Main Street which outshines the flower beds in front of the Portland VA hospital planted by other flower clubs. But how do these women keep their hands so nice, when mine usually look like bear paws. For instance, I became Grandma Black Bear after riding drag to bring cattle home last week, but that's another story. Be sure and invite yourself to take a peak at some of these yards. Before the frost hits, take a close-up at the Rawlins' dahlias in full bloom. If the "Rest the West" advocates could see this sam ple of increased productivity by rural area folks, I'd doubt they would recommend turning formerly bleak areas back to cheat grass and weeds. However the no-growth managers, the en dangered species fans, the wetlands regulators and the wilderness perpetuators all seem to have a common cause which is to limit healthy growth in this part of the state while the rich loam of the Willamette River region has become another Silicon Valley.

Garden Club present welcome gifts As an annual tradition, the Heppner Garden Club recent ly presented welcome gifts to some of the town's newest citizens. Large boxes of flowers and vegetables plus homemade bread and jam were presented by Garden Club members. The surprise offerings were presented to Dr. Ernie Atkins, his wife Susan and their daughter Jenny. Another reci pient of a basket was JoLynn Britt, who is the new half-time sixth grade teacher at Heppner Elementary bcnool. Her hus band is Russell Britt. Others welcomed into the community were two ministers who have become pastors at local churches. The Reverend A1 Trachsell, the Methodist Church minister moved here with his wife, Laurae, and daughters Stephanie and Jean nette. The Reverend Andrew Johnson of the First Christian Church came to Heppner with his wife, Rosalie, and their children Sarah and Drew.
