extended lone’s season to 4-0.
On Friday, Jan. 9, both Echo

ward the basket, on his way in
heriting the ball to score a quick
two points. lone never lost the
lead, converting two points into

up with 21.
You've heard of Candy Stripe
volunteers. How about a
volunteer named Spot?
Spot, a dog of "mixed heritage”
who makes his home at the Steve
and Molly Rhea residence in
Heppner, is a willing volunteer at
Pioneer Memorial Nursing.
Spot arrives at the nursing
home every Tuesday around 8:30
a.m., courtesy of Molly, who is
director of Pioneer Memorial
Home Health, and stays until
around 11:30 a.m., visiting with
the residents
and
taking
advantage of any goodies that
might cross his path.
"He's a good dog," says Tonya
Jones, PMNH activities director.
"He usually lays and sleeps. He'll
chase his ball and he scarfs
everything up on the floor."
"He's a vacuum cleaner," says
Susie Hansen, who also works
with the residents.
Molly picks him up to take
him home before lunch is served,
just in case he gets a little too
eager for a treat.
"They (the residents) like
looking at him," adds Tonya.
"The only one that doesn't like
him is Joy, the nursing home cat.
When he comes, she just runs up
on a bed."
Spot has been a welcome
addition to the nursing home
since last August.

thank everyone for everything they did to^\\
comfort us during the recent loss of Paul.
You ail have honored him with your
many acts of kindness and prayers. From
those neighbors who brought food, to
those many who have sent cards, letters
and/or donations, and those who at
tended the graveside service-words
simply cannot express our gratitude In
particular, we also want to publicly thank
Dr. Ernie Atkins and the entire staff of both
the hospital and the clinic for their care
and concern for Paul. Also, to Pat and
Trish Sweeney for the prompt support and
professional concern for our family.
This community outpouring of sympathy
just reminded us how special this "farmer,
husband, father, grandfather, soldier,
neighbor and friend" was to us all.
