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

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.

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.
