SIX - Heppner Gazette-Tim es, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, April 12, 2000 Lord’s Supper tableau to be presented H o ly Lord's Supper tableau. Again this year, the members of All Saints' Episcopal, Valby and Hope Lutheran churches will offer their Lord’s Supper Tableau on Monday of Holy Week, April 17. This year it will be presented at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, Heppner, in concert with that Roman Catholic Parish. A soup and sandwich supper will be served at St. Patrick's Parish Hall beginning at 5:30 p.m., with the tableau beginning at 7 p.m. The tableau is a dramatic recreation of the Passover Meal that Jesus shared with* his disciples in Jerusalem on the night before his crucifixion on the cross at Golgotha on Good Friday. This meal has come to be known as the Lord's Supper or the Sacrament of Holy Communion. The scene in the Upper Room will be recreated according to Leonardo da Vinci's painting, "The Last Supper". Leonardo painted the scene at the moment when Jesus announced to his disciples that one of them would betray him. The tableau includes a "still life" by Jesus and the disciples at that moment. Men from All Saints', Hope and Valby will portray the disciples as they gathered at the table for the Passover in the Upper Room in Jerusalem. A narrator will tell us something of the life of each disciple before the crucifixion, and their activities following the resurrection of Jesus. M arsha Sweek speaks at lon e Topic Club Marsha Sweek, director of the Morrow County Museum, was the guest speaker at the lone Topic Club meeting at Beecher’s Cafe. Sweek told members about activities of the museum and of *her recent trip to Atlanta, GA, and Washington, D.C., as a representative of small museums. Sweek said that most attendees had no conception of a very small museum where there weren't employees delegated to different areas of work but the director did most of them. She said she was also delighted to be invited to a reception at the White House, where the President and First Lady were also in attendance. lone Mayor Betty Gray reported that the city council had voted to donate $400 instead of the usual $300 to the budget the coming year. Jean Nelson called attention to the new Farm Foundation, which is working on renovating the old MCGG elevator into a farm museum. They are accepting dues and donations now. Becky Hunt and Anne Morter volunteered to be story readers to the preschoolers in April. The club agreed to furnish some of the meals for the Columbia Plateau Stage Racers to be in lone in June. Recent guests of Topic Club were foreign exchange students, David Mansfeld of Yugoslavia and Hans Stulz of Rostock, Germany, who told some interesting facts and comparisons of their homelands.

Videoconference planned On Wednesday, April 26, Pioneer Memorial Home Health will join more than 2,400 organizations across the United States and Canada as a local host for the Hospice Foundation of America's seventh annual N atio n al B ereav em en t Teleconference. "Living with Grief: Children, Adolescents, and Loss", a live- via-satellite video teleconference, will focus on ways to help children and adolescents cope with loss. The program offers insight and practical suggestions for those assisting young people with issues that include death, serious illness, divorce and other traumatic incidents. The program will be moderated by Cokie Roberts of ABC News and will feature a "distinguished panel of experts." The teleconference is produced by Hospice Foundation of America, a non-profit organization that assists those who cope either personally or professionally with terminal illness, death, grief and bereavement. Last year’s teleconference was seen by more than 150,000 people in over 2,400 communities. "While we often discuss how we grieve as adults, rarely do we consider the losses that children and adolescents must face," said Jack D. Gordon, president of the Hospice Foundation of America. Whether they are grieving the death of a parent or grandparent, or they must face the loss involved in re-location or divorce, children and adolescents often do not know how to cope. This teleconference will present interventive techniques that caring adults can use to empower children and adolescents with effective coping skills. " "I would highly recommend community members attendance," said Molly Rhea, Pioneer Memorial Home Health director. "I have seen each of theprior six teleconferences and they have all been well done, thought provoking and time well spent. I would highly recommend community members' attendance." Little League tryouts scheduled Heppner Little League will hold tryouts for boys' minor baseball on Thursday, April 13, at 4 p.m. at the Shad Hisler field. T-ball tryouts will then follow at 5 p.m., also at the Hisler field. Girls' minor softball tryouts will also be held on Thursday, April 13, at 5:30 p.m. at the Bob Kilkenny field. Anyone interested in playing on any of these teams who has not yet signed up, should call Cindi Doherty, 676- 5122 or Sandi Day, 676-5275. Cham ber Chatter Rhea said that her office will videotape the conference for future viewing for interested people who are unable to attend. Roberts will moderate the two- and-one-half-hour panel discussion. The panel will include Nancy Boyd Webb, a social worker and expert on play therapy for bereaved children; Charles Corr, Ph.D., professor and author who has written extensively on children, adolescents and grief; Kenneth J. Doka, Ph.D., Lutheran minister and professor of gerontology at the College of New Rochelle; Margarita Suarez, a pediatric nurse, former school teacher, and executive director of AVANTA in Washington state. Dottie Ward-Wimmer, a pediatric nurse and children's bereavement counselor with the Wendt Center for Loss and Healing in Washington, D.C., and Betsy Wendt, a counselor with the D.C. public school system will join the panel for a discussion on intervention. The teleconference is supported in part by a grant from the Project on Death in America of the Open Society Institute and the Veterans Health Administration Office of Information, Department of Veterans Affairs, and produced in cooperation with Annenberg/CPB, funder of "Death: A Personal Understanding," and John Hancock. By Cliudl» Hugh— , Chamber >ton»fl«r Daily the Chamber mail holds "opportunities" for conferences, which could exhaust one's monetary resources and well as their soul. Sometimes one wishes it were possible to be able to attend more just to be aware of what current method of education is out there. For instance the newest brochure says "discover how to thrive in the tension between the new economic reality and human values." It goes on to say, "the new economy is about speed, agility, instant wealth innovation and impermanence." The new economy (.com) is changing the way we live and work and, no matter how we live and work, we need to understand it. However, one would hope that human values will not be lost in the process. Life should be about balance, meaning and contribution. With that in mind, let's deal with some basics. Water. Without water, agriculture, and all natural resources, no one would really have the time or energy to worry about the other issues nor would they have sustenance. The Heppner Chamber has joined with the Extension Office and the Morrow County Livestock Growers to bring guest speaker Pat Larson to provide an educational program on water quality issues next Tuesday, April 18, noon, at the Elks. RSVP to the Extension Office, 676-9642, or the Chamber, 676- 5536, by Friday, April 14, for the luncheon. Take a break from the field to learn more about grass roots issues, where we all began. The following Tuesday, April 25, the Chamber luncheon will again be at the Elks, honoring secretaries. RSVP for this luncheon also, 676-5536. Thought for the week: "Making a living is not the same thing as making a life." Art workshop slated A workshop featuring well-known artist Robert Walton of Leavenworth will take place July 9-11 at the Morrow County Fairgrounds annex. "Robert's paintings are very popular throughout the United States and usually feature dramatic skies and mountain scenes," said Betty Mills of the Morrow County Creative Arts and Crafts Club. A sample of his work was raffled off St. Patrick's Day in the Les Schwab showroom by the Morrow County Arts and Crafts Club. The proceeds of the raffle went to the Ag Museum project underway in Heppner. For information about the class, sponsored by MCACC, call Betty Mills, 676-5546. “Summer is closer than you think.
