Heppner Gazette-Tim es, Heppner, O regon W ednesday, January 2 0 ,1 9 9 9 Green, Hughes earn hats off award St. Patrick Parish plans adult program St. Patrick Parish will begin a new adult program named "Come As You Are" beginning on Monday, Jan. 25. "This program is an invitation to slow down and live life so as to notice and appreciate more of it," said Father Gerry Condon. "People today are pulled in many directions. There are a multitude of demands on them so that those demands often get in the way of life. In the busyness and noisiness of modem life, the art of listening is being lost. For life to be truly valued this art needs to be restored. So listening is at the heart of the program." The program will facilitate the participant in relating everyday events to Gospel values and to their spirituality.. The first session of this 12- week program will be held in St. Patrick's Parish Hall on Monday, Jan. 25, at 7:30 p.m. For more information or to register, contact Fr. Gerry Condon at 676-9462 L-R: Delanne Ferguson, Barbara Hayes, Darrell Raver, Tom Sly, Bob Kahl, Jerry Breazeale, Sharon Harrison, Trisha Sweeney.

Claudia Hughes also praised her husband for answering calls and taking messages for the chamber, accepting "lots of late hours, sometimes with dinner ready when I drop through the door," she said. "He's dealt with 13 years of St. Pat's, Town & Country, luncheons, goal settings, Cycle Oregon, meetings, meetings and more meetings when he could have used my help."

Baseball wall destroyed in storm The Heppner High School baseball outfield wall was destroyed during a recent windstorm "The coaching staff and players were devastated by this destruction," says coach Robin Graff. "Many hours of hard work have gone into the field as they continued to improve the baseball facility. We are trying to tum a very heartbreaking and negative situation into a positive for the Heppner baseball program." While the right field fence was a very short distance, a 30-foot wall and net were constructed, giving the ballpark an effect that right field was deeper than it actually was. Graff said that now that it has been destroyed, an excavation project, that has school district approval, is underway to lengthen the length of the field. Volunteers are now being sought to help complete this project. Graff said that the baseball program has received commitments from Ryan Miller, Roger Britt, Morrow County Grain Growers, Devin Oil and the Heppner Booster Club to help to cover costs for some fuel, some equipment and labor. "Any help - little or small will be greatly appreciated," added Graff. A committee to help with the organization of the project is in the process of being formed. For more information, contact Graff, 422-7131 ext. 34 work, or 422-7191 home; or Tony Pupo, 676-9139 work or 676-5749 home.
