Two memorial services were held. The first service was at South Point, Hawaii, on October 25,2000, and was officiated by retired Episcopal Bishop Rustin Kimsey o f the diocese o f Eastern Oregon. The second memorial service was held at the Episcopal Church in Missoula, Montana, on November 4, 2000, and was officiated by retired Episcopal Bishop Leigh Wallace of the diocese of Spokane, Washington. Bishop Gilliam was bom in Heppner on June 20, 1920, to May and Earle Gilliam. He grew up in Heppner, graduating from Heppner High School in 1939. He attended Whitman College in Walla Walla, Wasjungton, and received a bachelor o f arts degree in 1942. Gilliam served as an officer in the Army signal corps in the South Pacific during W orld W ar II. He married Kathleen "Kay" Hindley, also a 1942 Whitman graduate, in 1943. She died in 1987.

Chamber Chatter Fifteen days into 2001 and this I know: It's good to see our rolling hills outlined against a pastel sky, rather than hidden in a bank o f fog. How lucky we are to live where there is no traffic congestion as we drive past cattle and sheep feeding, deer and antelope at play, to arrive in an inviting community where we can count on someone to help if help is needed and there are few strangers. Space is at a premium in this world and we are so fortunate to have it. Fine folks were honored during Town and Country, a testimony o f what we're all about. Nearly 200 were in attendance as a toast was given to our Heppner Volunteer Fire Department; friends and neighbors caught up on their visiting to the beautiful background music o f Amy Jepsen; and cartoonist Jack Ohman humiliated a few and brought laughter to others. Good sports all. Congratulations to the 2000 honorees. The Elks again worked hard to put on a great dinner, accommodate all meetings, assisted in many ways, but let it be known that they did not donate the dinner as stated in the East Oregonian. That would be going above and beyond the call o f duty. Not only that, it would leave people wondering just why they had to purchase a dinner ticket. Rest assured, the Chamber is paying the Elks for the dinner and an excellent one it was. We are fortunate to have this facility and the cooperation of fine volunteers. A Heppner delegation traveled to Salem Tuesday to participate in Rural Oregon Day, an opportunity to build legislative awareness o f Rural Oregon's strengths and weaknesses. Visibility and real faces can often make a difference, we hope. It's not a good thing to start off the New Year with a computer virus, especially a virus attached to the Chamber o f Commerce computer that sends unmentionable screen saver attachments. Thanks to new chamber member Ed Struthers and the assistance o f Tom Rawlins, that matter has been handled. Beware, you can send viruses without knowing you are doing so, or even viewing what you are sending. Now that the festivities o f Town and Country are finished, tree lights may be removed. It was suggested to me that green lights would be great for St. Patrick's weekend. While I agreed, it might be stretch ing our luck to request it o f all the fine volunteers who faithfully put up and take down the Christmas lights. What do they think? And this I know; enough for now. It's time to get on with chamber goal setting for 2001 and the wearing o' the green for one more year. May 2001 be great for Heppner and the W illow Creek Valley.
