Sally Cohn, former Heppner
resident now living in Portland,
has forwarded to the Gazette-
Times photos o f the Cohn and
Heppner families when Max
Heppner came to visit them in
Heppner in 1948.

photos included Sally's mother,
Helen Cohn, now deceased, and
Max's mother Irene Heppner,
also deceased.
Max's son, Al Heppner, an
Olympics hopeful, visited Jenny
Krem and her family in Heppner
this June (see June 30 issue of the
G-T). Sally subsequently wrote
to the G-T about the elder
Heppner's visit in 1948 (see July
14 issue).
C a rric k -o n -S h a n n o n
Sandra Van I.iew of Heppner
submitted the winning entry in
Heppner's "Ga Baile Contest."
From four entries, the Heppner
City Council selected Van
Liew's choice o f an Irish
community with the most
promise of being a twin-like
community
for
Heppner:
Carrick-on-Shannon.
In her entry. Van Liew
presented three reasons for her
choice: in 1972, the population
was 1632: the town has a
walking tour; and the town
resides along the Shannon River.
Further information garnered
from an internet search with Alta
Vista lists Carrick-on-Shannon
as a fishing community that also
boasts tour boat concessions,
T h e S h a n n o n R iv e r
suggesting a vacation destination
status.
City Manager Jerry Breazeale
has acquired an address for the
city government in Carrick-on-
Shannon and will officially
extend Heppner's invitation to
become associated. He reports
that several of the internet sites
for "Carrick-on-Shannon" offer
graphics and some photos
depicting
the
area
and
community.
For her efforts, Van Liew has
received a $75 prize, presented
at the "Celebrate Heppner" event
on Friday, July 30. As a last
piece of information about her
selection. Van Liew said that
"an artisan resides there, who
has a cottage industry using
Jacob wool and a shepherd
nearby keeps a small flock of
Jacob sheep." Van Liew has
been recognized for her spinning
and weaving with Jacob wool
from her Windy Acres Jacob J e rry B re a z e a le p re s e n ts $75 p riz e to S a n d ra V a n L iew , w in n e r o f th e
