FOUR - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, July 19, 2000 Police ch ief assoc, endorses Smith Oregon East Symphony the next state representative for plans music camps The Oregon Association of District 59, a seat currently Chiefs of Police have endorsed Greg Smith for state representative in House District 59. "The endorsement of Greg Smith is the result of careful consideration by the Oregon Police Chiefs for Safer Communities," said Police Chief Steve Wineger, OACP president. "We are confident Greg will promote laws designed to better protect Oregonians by making law enforcement more effective." Smith, a business development professional for the Port of Morrow, is seeking to become occupied by Representative Lynn Lundquist, R-Powell Butte. "I am honored to have the Chiefs of Police endorse my candidacy," said Smith. "I know working together we will create a safer community for the citizens of South Morrow County." District 59 includes Baker, Crook, Gilliam, Grant, Sherman, Wheeler and parts of Morrow and Wasco counties. Smith has already earned the endorsement of the Oregon State Police Officers Association and ASFCME, which represents correctional officers. St. Patrick's Senior Center _____________ Buiietin Board_____________ Last Wednesday 82 meals were served. Two tables of pinochle on both Tuesday and Friday and the movie, "The Green Mile," on Thursday were among other activities offered. The movie next week will be "Flying Leathernecks" with John Wayne. The meal menu will be salmon patties, oven potatoes, carrots/peas, fruit salad, muffins and pudding. Someone who read of the upcoming poetry-reading , the Pinsky Poetry Program, sent a poem that is worth sharing with all readers: The D ash----- author unknown I read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of his friend. He referred to the dates on her tombstone from the beginning to the end. He noted that first came the date of her birth and spoke of the second with tears, but he said what mattered most of all was the dash between those years. For that dash represents all the time that she spent alive on earth, and now only those who loved her know what that little line is worth. . For it matters not, how much we own: the cars, the house, the cash. What matters is how we live and love when we’re living in the dash. If we could just slow down enough to consider what is true and what is real, And always try to understand the way other people »feel. And ...be less quick to anger, and show appreciation more, And love the people in our lives like we've never loved before. If we treat each other with respect, and more often wear a smile, Remembering that this special dash might only last a while. So, when your eulogy is being read with your life's actions to rehash... Will you be pleased with what there's to say about how you spent your dash? Pathfinders Club to be organized A Pathfinder Club is opening in Heppner. The Pathfinder Club is a worldwide Christian scouting organization sponsored by the Seventh-day Adventist Church. It is open to anyone. . ' Activities are similar to those of Girl or Boy Scouts, but with a Christian flavor. There is opportunity to earn honors in many fields of interest. Honors are similar to merit badges. Pathfinders is designed for ages 10-15. The regular program will start in September. Some introductory summer activities will be offered. The first one, a hiking trip in the mountains with a picnic supper, is planned Saturday, July 22, at 3 p.m. Those planning to attend should meet at 2:45 p.m. in the parking lot of the Seventh-day Adventist church, 560 N. Minor. Everyone is invited to "come and get acquainted, have a good time, and learn more about Pathfinders." Summer activities are open to anyone in the family, including parents and younger siblings. Younger siblings may only attend if parents do.

Experience it, enjoy it, feel it, don't just move through it. This summer of weekend weddings is refreshing to see new beginnings, but also takes me away from local activities. I'm told the influx of Little Leaguers resulted in many compliments for Heppner. Some visitors had been here years ago, some had never been here at all. They came expecting to see a depressed logging community and went away pleasantly surprised, some to return again this week. Hats off to all of the community who went out of their way to make them welcome. There can't be beginnings without endings. The community will miss Juan Elguezabal, who, while here only a short while, left great imprints on hearts and many good memories. All the more reason to take hold of life with joy and enthusiasm. What an example. Finding one's way around Portland can lead to many adventures and sights. I am always astounded by the continuous covering of fertile growing soil with concrete; most recently with storage buildings. Right in the middle of a metropolitan block was a huge cabbage patch and next to it the construction of storage facilities, heated, mind you. In all honesty, I have to question the wisdom of constructing heated storage units for surplus "things" on top of soil that could grow food while there are people are starving and living in cars. Go figure. Life is indeed about preservation, balance, business priorities, where the monies go, education and compassion. It's about the Portlands and Heppners of the state, big cities and small communities, corporations, agriculture and small businesses trying to figure it all out. It's about the heart of the matter. Heppner's heart, our hearts, our future together. Come "Celebrate Heppner", our businesses, our community on Friday, July 28. Invite friends and family to come enjoy, visit, shop, listen to music and just support our town. Thought for the week: "There is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem."... Booker T.

The party was from Canada and needed not only a place to recover from the trauma, but also mental health assistance. Because this was not a “natural disaster,” the Red Cross’ ability to assist was limited. The N eighborhood Center stepped in and provided room tor them at the Northwestern Motel. The Ministerial Association pro vided sandwiches for the group and the Crisis Intervention Team provided their “much needed” ser vices. On July 7, another request for assistance was made by Rusty Estes, chief of the Heppner Fire Dept. The home of Ray Phillips, Sr. and Bobbee Clark was se verely damaged by fire. A fter the damage was as sessed, contact was made with the Neighborhood Center who once again provided one night’s lodging and dinner at Kate’s Pizza. The Red Cross made contact with the Northwestern Motel who in turn donated another night’s lodging to the victims. Red Cross provided another two nights’ lodging, meals at Cal’s Restaurant for three days and gro ceries at Central Red Apple. The American Red Cross op erates through donations only. Anyone who would like to donate so that organization can continue to provide help when needed, should send your donations to American Red Cross, Umatilla Chapter (Morrow County), 146 S. Main Street, Pendleton, OR. 97801.
