C om m unity H elp "T here is no way I could ever leave the mill now ," laughed Mike. "T here's no way we'll ever leave H eppner," added Cindi. The remodeling, now near ing com pletion, includes knocking out a wall to make two small bedrooms into a larger bedroom and an adjoin ing bath, adding on a covered deck, lowering a bedroom win dow, adding a door to the out side and enlarging other doors in the house, building ramps arid pouring a cement walk way. Mike says that his goal through the renovation is to get Adam "a s close to as he was before the accident". " I knew what I wanted to d o ," said Mike. "But I just didn't know where to start. Kinzua pretty much footed the bill for the whole project. There have been so many people up constantly. I don't know who put the word out. They work eight to 10 hours on the job and then come up almost every night and put in another four to five hours here. It's amazing to see what's been done in such a short tim e." Ed Struthers says that the business com munity has also been generous in donating materials needed for the job. Dave Piper, Gary Watkins, Gary Ball, Lowell Jones, Simon Winters and Paul Sumner have worked on the outside of the house; Struthers, David All- stott and Cyde Estes put in a lot of work on the inside; and Rita Bergstrom, George Naims and Marie Struthers, cooked meals. But so many people have helped out, the Dohertys are reluctant to name names. "W e don't want to single out just a few p e o p le ," said Cindi, "because we know we'll leave somebody o u t." The Dohertys say that they are also extremely grateful to the Pioneer Memorial Hospital doctors and staff who respond ed the night of the accident.

" I t 's wonderful to have the hospital here. They could have died if the hospital wasn't here." "It's a miracle that there were three doctors here," added Mike. He said that Dr. Ernie Atkins and Drs. Jeanne and Ed Berretta were all in town that night, but Dr. Jeanne was scheduled to leave for Walla Walla the next day, where the Berrettas are establishing a new practice. "W e hate to see them g o ," said Cindi. "They were excellent doctors." The Dohertys say that Adam will be going to rehabilitation twice a week at PMH and is scheduled to go back to Oregon Health Sciences University and Good Samaritan Hospital for evaluation on Sept. 19. While Adam suffered a severe spinal break, they say that he does have some spinal cord still at tached. It will probably be a year before the extent of the damage is discovered, but in the meantime, he and his parents have a positive atti tude. Bill Schlaich has undergone several surgeries on his arm and is expected to undergo several more, so will not be returning to college this fall. His roommate at college, Chad Doherty, 21, the Doherty's elder son, has decided to take a year off college and work un til Bill returns to school. His mom says he also wants to stay and help ouLaround the house. Brian Knowles has returned to school at Heppner High School after many weeks in the hospital. Mike Doherty, 43, was bom and raised in Heppner and went to work at Kinzua right after graduating from Heppner High School. Cindi, 39, has liv ed 31 years in Morrow Coun ty. She is a deputy tax collec tor with Morrow County. The couple bought their house in 1976 and have lived there ever since. Besides their two sons, they also have a daughter, Kylie, six years old.
