Jackson, Howard Gilliam's brother, grew up and attended schools here. Former schoolmates enjoyed reminiscing with him about those "good oid days" in Heppner. Some were recalling the role of the Gilliam parents and grandparents in Heppner's early history. Their parents, Earl and Mae Gilliam, were part owners in the first hardw are story, "Gilliam and Bisbee," on the present site of True Value Hardware. Their slogan was "We've got it, can get it, or it isn't made." Someone remembered the story about Earl Gilliam's handling of the receipts from the rodeo and racing show. Thinking that Earl had put the money in the store's safe that night robbers were fooled when they broke into the store and the safe and found nothing. Earl had put the cash in an old gunny sack and threw it in a trashy woodbox in the rear of the building.

What do you do when the refrigerated truck storing 750 lunches for as many hungry wildland firefighters goes on the fritz in a remote eastern Oregon town? "You just spread the word around and things get done," said Cheryl Davis, the cook at Spray School and leader of the fire's lunch-making crew. The refrigerator truck where the lunches are kept stopped doing its thing at about 8 p.m. Sunday, which sent fire managers scrambling to find another one. They found one but had to rely on the kindness of Spray citizens to store the lunches until the replacement truck arrived. Davis phoned her friend, Marie Britt, who graciously volunteered her family's walk-in cooler as a temporary storage site, thus = Other "shops" will open about every 2-3 months Hours: Mon.-Thurs.: 9:30-6 • Friday: 9:30-5 Sat : Closed • Sunday: 1-5 FREE D R AW ING S: Free Basket Free Class Free Supplies The Cardinal Booster Club met Monday, August 7, at the home of Jim and Monica Swanson.
