Really enjoyable for old timers at the last Wednesday dinner was
a visit by Episcopal Bishop Jackson Gilliam (retired). 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.
On Monday the Pinsky Poetry Project gathered in the sitting
room at 7 p.m. for some relaxing pleasure as attendees heard
reading of poems by T.S. Eliot, Ethel Bowers, William Stafford,
Tennyson, Mason Williams, Sara Teasdale and Robert Frost,
among others. The group chose the second Thursday at 7 p.m. for
continued meetings.
This Sunday, Aug. 13, at 1 p.m. is our potuck dinner, followed by
games and recreation. Some surprises are lurking. Everyone had a
good time last month. The public is invited to come and join us.
We say true potluck means one dish, anything you want to bring.
This center owes much to the continuing support of local churches
who assist in the serving of the Wednesday meal. On Aug. 16, St.
Patrick's Catholic Church will be serving..
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

The Cardinal Booster Club met
Monday, August 7, at the home
of Jim and Monica Swanson.
Assistant football coach
Dennis Stefani reported ordering
30 equipment bags for the
football team. The club had voted
at the July meeting to pay for the
bags. The cost, with the Cardinal
logo, will be approximately $16-
$ 17 each. They will be checked
out to players and returned at the
end of the football season.
The school custodian will be
contacted about touch up
painting that needs to be done in
the gym. Stefani suggested the
club resurface the scorers' table.
Betty Gray will check into the
cost of designing and making a
new table. Monica Swanson and
Cindy Burright will try to
rearrange the district and state
championship boards and the flag
on the gym wall.
New score clocks were donated
by Pepsi and have been installed.
One old score clock will be
placed in the elementary gym.
Swanson showed a sample of
the
new
Cardinal
logos
embroidered by Hal Bergstrom.
According to club members, the
quality was "excellent" and they
members agreed to have some
sample clothing embroidered for
the next meeting. The logo can
only be used by Cardinal Booster
Club members. Members agreed
to have Arlynda Gates handle
orders for the club.
A date was set for the fall
teacher reception and potluck.
The dinner will be at 6 p.m.

apologies. Indeed, the meeting did take place at the Pendleton High

regarding youth access to tobacco, I invite you to call 676-5421 or

get passed on to the attorney general if that is what you would like.
