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.
The Heppner Chamber of
Commerce has presented "Hats
O ff service awards to Cliff
Green and Merlin Hughes.
Green has been Chamber of
Commerce president and a
member of the board. Green, the
owner of Coast to Coast in
Heppner, has helped out in
numerous Chamber activities,
including donating a bicycle to
the
"Celebrate
Heppner"
celebration, helping get an
electrical outlet beside the
community Christmas tree,
putting a spotlight on the tree,
and decorating downtown trees.
"He (Green) has had a big
attitude change. No more 'Bah
Humbug'. Well, most of the
time," joked Chamber manager
Claudia Hughes.
Hughes also joked that
Merlin, her husband of 34 years,
received the award "for putting
up with me." "He is the person
that gets volunteered, like it or
not," said Claudia Hughes. '"Just
plant one tree,' I said. Four trees
and rolls of turf later, an hour
job turns into all day."
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."
Also at the Chamber luncheon,

Heppner" and the Chamber

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
