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 "

As funding grows, assisted
living facility nears fruition
By Doris Brosnan
Board members of Willow
Creek Valley Assisted Living,
the
nonprofit
corporation
planning to build an assisted
living facility in Heppner, grow
increasingly confident that their
project will soon begin.
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.
