Who has keys with a green shamrock and accuses a leprechaun of hiding them every other week, which causes said person to drop by every business in town looking for them? Last Wednesday those keys appeared in the ignition at 7:30 p.m. after she had waited for her husband to drive 16 miles to bring another set. There's more to the story but it won't be read here. Could be the answer is "desserts" spelled backwards and said person plans to deal with that during an R & R to the coast next week. The newest Chamber of Commerce member is Dennis Wall, Custom Leather Goods, located where Tom's T.V. used to be. Welcome, Dennis. Wanted: a paddy wagon driver for lone's 4th of July celebration. Leprechauns would be welcome, too. Just an opportunity to have fun and make some new memories. If you haven't called in to sign up for the June 24 Chamber tour, grab the phone and call 676- 5349. There just may still be space to visit Potlatch and the Umatilla Depot tomorrow. The more the merrier. Next week at Chamber: Delanne Ferguson will give attendees an update on Heppner Ranger District activities and recreational opportunities in the area. That will move us right into July for a first Tuesday community update; then on July 13, Brad Smith, CenturyTel and Ed Struthers will address some Internet, fiberoptic questions and walk us through the office.
