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.
The Pathfinder Club will be co
directed by Ken and Bonnie
Wenberg, both Master Guides
(approximately equivalent to
Eagle Scout) in Pathfinders.
They have many years of
Pathfinder Club experience.
For more information about
Pathfinders or this Saturday
afternoon's activity, call 676-
5440.

Chamber Chatter
By Claudia Hughts, Chamber Manager
Life. 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."...

Red Cross
By Glorene Wright
A request for assistance was
made on June 29 by Carl
Lauritsen, Morrow County EMT
coordinator, concerning the wel
fare of a group of motorcycle rid
ers who were involved in a fatal
motor vehicle accident.
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
