SIX - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, December 13, 2000 Bowling alley, cafe go Irish with new owners The Heppner bowling alley now has a little touch o' the Irish about it. When new owners Terry Lupinacci and Lyn Brewer were thinking about a name for the bowling alley and cafe, they thought it would be fitting to go along with Heppner's Irish theme. And, since Lyn is Irish, naming the bowling alley thCj Shamrock Bowl and the restaurant the Pot O' Gold Cafe seemed just perfect. Lupinacci (pronounced "Lupin- awch" with a silent 1 at the end) says with a grin that maybe his Italian heritage will go into the trademark pizzas they plan to continue to feature at the cafe. Pizza lovers can choose a variety of toppings with homemade crusts in thick, thin or pan styles. The two partners have a lot of other exciting plans for their establishment. Lupinacci says that the cafe will offer a daily special for $4.95 that will include fries and soup or salad. The special will be on all day, and Lupinacci stresses that meals will be ready in 15-20 minutes to accommodate the lunch crowd. The restaurant will feature a soup of the day and a salad bar during lunch and dinner. They also plan to have a dinnes special which includes a choice of french fries or baked potato, soup or salad and coffee or tea. Lupinacci, who was a cook for several years in a Chinese restaurant in Clarkston, WA, hopes to add a Chinese menu with some popular items and combinations. There will be no smoking in the restaurant, but a smoking area will be provided which will also include food service. Brewer, who has had experience in the catering business and food service, will operate the cafe and and Lupinacci will manage the bowling alley. He worked for a bowling alley in Pullman, WA, for several years, and has been involved in bowling in one aspect or another for 26 years. He has been a league coordinator; was previously the Hermiston Bowling Association secretary and is currently their president; has been a youth coach and ran the youth leagues at Pullman for several years; and is also a certified bowling coach. "We feel really comfortable about the bowling alley, because we've got a lot of support," said Lupinacci, who credits the owner and mechanic at Desert Lanes in Hermiston for providing a lot of support in repairing Shamrock Bowls 1960's-era lanes. "All the pin setters will be up and functioning. It's just 3 matter of keeping them tuned. We're getting the lanes set up where bowlers will have a decent chance of getting a good score and having fun." And he does have some fun things planned for Shamrock Bowl. "We want to provide an atmosphere for families," said Lupinacci, who is planning a family special for $24.95 which would include two games of bowling and shoes, a large pizza and pitcher of pop for two adults and two kids. ^ Other ideas for the bowling alley include: -"Quartermania" on Thursdays- everyone pays $5 to get in the door. After that, bowling is 25 cents a game, shoes are 25 cents and hot dogs and fries are 50 cents each. Later they hope to feature a version of that theme for adults, with a $5 entrance fee and 50 cents for beer, hot dogs and fries. -Rock N' Bowl on Fridays and Saturdays with disco lights, laser lights, black lights and fog machines-and the music cranked up. -Monte Carlo bowling for adults prior to Rock hT Bowl. -Jacket leagues which would include a nylon jacket with the Shamrock Lanes logo included in the league price. -Junior leagues which would also include something offered at the end of the league session. -Rookie leagues which would include lessons. -Family leagues. -Short-term leagues. -Special equipment for Terry Lupinacci and Lyn Brewer handicapped bowlers or those who have difficulty lifting balls. -A pool room and additional pinball machines and video games. "We're open to suggestion," added Lupinacci. "We're going to put up a suggestion box." Lupinacci invites everyone who hasn't been at the bowling alley for awhile to stop by. He also encourages anyone who left equipment to give the lanes another try. Brewer and Lupinacci have set new extended hours for the lanes and cafe. Hours will be Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sundays from noon to nine p.m. Lupinacci says that they may stay open later on D A 7s Report Morrow County District Attorney David C.

CARD OF THANKS Thank you to the subscribers who have notified us of your mail ing address changes. We appre ciate your prompt responses! Heppner Gazette-Times ___________________ 12-13-lx We wish to thank all who con tributed to various organizations in Ralph Beamer’s name. It was much appreciated. The Beamer Family ___________________ 12-13-lc Thank You Friends: From the time that you heard that I again had cancer, your out pourings of concern started pour ing in. Food, cards, telephone calls and flowers - nothing was forgot ten. At the top of the list, of course, were the prayers. Our United Methodist Church had a prayer chain. There were also a multi tude of other prayers being sent every single day. Never underestimate a small town for caring when there is trouble. They’ll be there. With love, Lorena and Floyd Jones ___________________ 12-13-lp Let me paint you a picture of a man named Tom. A wizard in his workshop, never harried, always calm. When all a hurry here, hurry there, Tom’s just a leaning on his truck. Spending time with the passing friend and counsel to the one down on his luck. To Dr. Tom, every need is just •a friend who he is soon in sync. • And somewliefe in his fixit shop, he’s got the missing link. He might have a dozen chores and responsibilities he must heed. But when you showed up, he dropped them all to meet your pressing need. He wove the street of Heppner on his TV cable route. Making sure the widows and infirmed TVs were never without. Ah, it was just an excuse to lend a hand and bring another pleasure. Making sure all was well, he left his sunshine without recom pense or measure. If every man that owes this self-taught scholar a favor, would repay his goodness to another, our community would rel ish that sweet savor. Then every life that Tom has touched would bear his sweet aroma, And we that loved him would crown his life with the ultimate diploma. 12-13-lc NOTICES The Heppner Post Office has notified residents that correct mailing addresses must be on all mail.
