TWELVE - Heppner Gazette-Times. Heppner. Oregon Wednesday, March 8, 2000 Paintin' the town green Christian music concert planned during St. Pat's A concert of contemporary Christian music by the band, Destiny Road, has been planned during the St. Patrick’s festivities on Saturday, March 18, from 2- 4 p.m. at the Heppner City Park, sponsored by First Christian Church. According to a release. Destiny Road is a "band for the adult crowd who feels left out by today's youth-oriented Christian music." "While appealing to the "30- something" audience, the music avoids sounding dated by its fresh and energetic presentation The pacing of the concert performance is such as to alternately make the observer happily tap his toe and clap his hands or sing along in heart felt worship,” said a spokesperson. "The all-original material presented is a hybrid of several styles including rock, country contemporary and praise. The combination of these seemingly incongruous styles is what gives the band their own unique sound. It seems to also be responsible in part for keeping the full attention of the audience wherever they play." "The musicians in Destiny Road have each been involved in music for most of their lives, some professionally and others semi-professionally. All are dedicated Christians who view this opportunity to play as a ministry. A ministry of encouragement to the saved and of salvation to the unsaved - a ministry that is taken quite seriously," they said. Destiny Road features Paul Eaker on bass, David Florea on guitar, Sean Gallagher on guitar, Kathy Scott on hand percussion and keyboard and Pat Ward on drums and occasional mandolin. Although Florea and Gallagher do most of the singing, each member takes a lead vocal on at least one song in the set. Band members living and working in the Hermiston area are "positioned in an ideal location for ministering to the inland Northwest " Grant County woman to run for Dist. 59 seat the Prairie City Industrial Park Site.

Joining the board of directors recently, Tom Wolff and Nancy VanderDoes bring added enthusiasm and ideas to the "already enthusiastic" group as they take final steps in their preliminary work. DWR Consultants, Inc., of Pasco, recently completed a geotechnical survey of the proposed site, which lies 1.5 miles from Main Street and adjoins the Lakeview Heights subdivision. Results of this soil and rock survey and an accompanying investigation for site grading and a drainage plan have been sent to the USD A Rural Housing agency to be added to the application for a $680,000 loan. The board is concentrating efforts on fund raising while waiting for news about the * •* « 1 application. The banks, which will also be helping with financing, require the organization to show at least $90,000 in private donations. As the "thermometer" on Main Street will soon reflect, donations and pledges now represent a total of $54,955, according to board chair, Suzanne Jepsen. That includes the recent donation from the Heppner Elks organization, $250, with a pledge to also donate $250 a year for four more years. WCVAL is now reaping some benefit from grocery-receipt boxes located in the Red Apple Market and Heppner City Hall. Red Market owner, Bert Houweling, will donate one percent of the amount of the store's receipts placed in the boxes. In response to a recent question, the board wants potential donors to know that they can specify that their donations be used for the assisted living facility or returned to them if the facility does not become a reality. Food handler's class offered A food handler's class will be offered by Blue Mountain Community College and the State Health Division on Wednesday, March 15, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the Heppner High School cafeteria. A food handler's card is required by the State of Oregon for all employees who handle or prepare food in food service facilities in Oregon. This includes dishwashers, waiters, staff and business persons. Additionally, the card is also required now of all day care workers. There is no charge for the class but a $10 licensing fee is payable to the State Health Department after successful completion of the written test. "It is recommended that those selling food during the St. Pat's Celebration have at least one person present with a food handler's license," says Claudia Hughes, Heppner Chamber of Commerce manager.
