Guitar recital
planned
August 31
A guitar recital will be held
Saturday, Aug. 31, at 3:30 p.m.
at the St. Patrick's Senior
Center dining room in Hepp
ner. The public is invited to at
tend and there is no charge for
admission.
The recital will be performed
by 15 students of the guitar
class which has been held each
Saturday for the past eight
weeks in Heppner. The instruc
tor is Carl Oakes of La Grande.
"This has been a tremendous
opportunity for the guitarists in
Heppner this summer," said
local organizer Marlene Currin.
Oakes is studying for his mas
ter degree at Eastern Oregon
State College and was available
to give the lessons in Heppner.
He was also one of 12 guitarists
who studied in Rome this
summer.
More than 15 students
wanted to register for the
lessons, but the class size was
limited to that amount. "W e
were lucky to get him and I
believe the students all learned
a great deal. No only did they
learn to play, but had a good
time doing so ," Currin said.
The Morrow County Unified
Recreation District sponsored
the lessons. "All the students,
young and old, were glad to
have this opportunity. The
guitar is an instrument that one
plays all their life, and is ver
satile; a person can play alone
or with a group," added Cur
rin.

S
almon have a place to live again in Deer Creek. At
Roseburg’s Eastwood Elementary School, teacher
Dan Tilson received a grant of Lottery dollars from the
state’s watershed enhancement program to make the
creek more livable for salmon.
To enhance the habitat for the fall
Chinook salmon, structures were
placed in the creek. Dan has also
turned this project into an outdoor class
room for students at the school who release the salmon
into the creek from Eastwood’s own fish hatchery.
Thanks to the Deer Creek project and the efforts of
Dan Tilson, students are gaining an understanding of
