SIX - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, July 14,1999 Health district purchases wheelchair bus Justice C o u rt Report Nursing home residents try out the new bus recently purchased by the medical district. The bus seats up to eight wheelchairs, and will be used for recreational driving, getting to doctor appointments and other needs of the nursing home, says Sheila Dahlman, medical district manager. Dalman says the bus was purchased from state surplus for only $6,500 and has only 32,000 miles. "They will be able to go on rides together and to attend more activities," says Dahlman of the larger bus. "It will also save us on transportation costs because we will be able to carry more people." Sum m er weather With temperatures around Heppner in the 90s, a good place to eetch a breeze for residents of the Pioneer Memorial Nursing Home was out on the patio. From left to right front row: Millie Evans, Jim Farley, Nonie Pointer, Rose Moe, Beth Clark, Faye Ruhl and Gladys Connor. Back row left to right; Tommy Steagall, Evelyn Warren and Bill Lowe.

Minutes were read and accepted by the secretary Ruth McCabe. Old business included the mon etary donation to each of the towns for their yearly celebration. The decoration for the courthouse was for the Christmas holidays. Barbara Bloodsworth is chair man. New business was the annual meeting scheduled for the first Sunday in October at the Lexing ton Grange hall. Mildred Baker is chairman for the booth at the Morrow County Fair. Plans are being made with Wylie Monument works to repair and replace some of the stones in the cemeteries. There are several beautiful stones which have been damaged. “If anyone is interested, especially family members, a mon etary donation will be accepted,” said a Historical Society member. “This is an expensive project with setting and replacing the printing on the stones.” A report was heard from Don Eppenbaugh concerning the Lewis and Clark expedition. Those present for the meeting were Dorris Graves, Ruth Mc Cabe, Jean Nelson, Don Eppen baugh, Mildred Baker, Kathryn Hoskins, Barbara Bloodsworth and Delpha Jones. # 10 .
