Not pictured is Emily Rietmann. Some lone 4-H'ers have discovered a "novel" way to help out the lone Library. The Books N' More Books 4-H Club, with the help of their leader, Becky Hunt, the lone Library and the lone Topic Club, which operates the library, is helping restock children's classics at the library. The girls, assisted by librarian Christy Crowell, first selected well-worn classics they would like to have replaced. Then, once a month they illustrated a poster about each book, and included the book's check-out card on the poster. The posters were then hung at the lone Post Office. People in the community then selected cards from the posters and purchased new edition of the books, which are then donated to the library. "We just don't have the money (to replace the books) and the community has been really nice," said Hunt, who is also a Bring a cow to work day Story and photo by Cathy McCabe Much to the delight of lone Elementary School students, Duane Neiffer, lone High School science teacher, brought his milk cow to school. Most of the children had never seen a cow milked before and some even had the unique experience of milking the cow first hand. The cow, who is named Irene, was very patient with everyone. The activity lead to lots of laughter and excitement. member of the lone Topic Club. "Some (book cards) have been taken within a half an hour." Out o f 10 books selected for replacement, only three remain, "Little Women", "Heidi", and "Treasure Island", says Hunt. She said that some books that were selected to be replaced date back to the late 1800s or early 1900s and are often very worn and unattractive for modem day tastes. Books N' More Books members include Kara Clay, Shannon Clay, Aimee Emery, Stephanie Holland, Miranda Hunt, Kim Morris and Emily Rietmann. The group only recently became a 4-H Club. A Heppner couple, Brent and Jennifer Waldrep, have decided to make missionary work their career. The Waldreps, both 28, came to Heppner around St. Patrick's Day three years ago to establish the Willow Creek Baptist Church. Brent has been pastor o f the church since their arrival and Jennifer assisted with the ministry and was also employed with Morrow County Behavioral Health. The Waldreps are planning to travel to Brazil where Brent will work in a seminary teaching Brazilian students about planting churches, through the missionary-sending agency of the Southern Baptist Convention. Jennifer will assist her husband and also hopes to incorporate theatre with ministry, working with children and young adults. "Our primary purpose," said Jennifer, "is to share how people can be right with God through Jesus Christ and to partner with Brazilians to strengthen the church." "We feel a very strong leading," said Brent. "It's not short term. This is a career. We'll go and stay till something else happens." "I'm excited that people are really friendly there," he said. "They will open up and be your friend ” "There’s also a real openness to hear the message," added Jennifer. "Obviously our ministry will be shaped as we get there and see the needs of the country. Our goal is to help Brazilian seminary students plant churches," said Brent. "We have confidence that we're doing what we need to be doing." The Waldreps say that Brazil is a mix o f cultures and religions. They say that the population includes many immigrants from Africa who practice animism, whereby natural phenomena, animals and inanimate objects are spiritual beings and possess a soul. The Waldreps left Brent and Jennifer Waldrep Heppner March 27 to visit Brent's relatives in Texas. They will attend a five-week training course in Richmond, VA, before leaving for for Brazil May 31. They will first travel to Campinas, in southern Brazil near Rio. They will spend their first year at Campinas learning the Portuguese language and Brazilian culture. Brazilian language and culture and life in a missionary family are not foreign concepts to Jennifer who spent her first six years growing up in Brazil, mainly in Rio and Sao Paolo. Her father, a professor of philosophy and ethics, was also a missionary there. Her family now lives in the Northwest. Brent has been on previous mission trips and has been to Brazil several times. After the first year at Campinas, the Waldreps will move to Recife in northeast Brazil where they will begin work at the seminary. ooooooooooooooooooooooo 8 Wedding Tables o O ° O O Laurie Michael and Bryce Hyde g 0 Wedding March 29, 2001 q 0 Marie Tworek and Robert Rose § Wedding April 21, 2001 ~ Shower: April 7, 2001 o O o o o o o o umuj j m o o 217 North Main • Heppner • 676-9158 o o ^ M ' D §- o ooooooooooooooooooooooo Serving Heppner, Lexington & lone Commission seeks project proposals The Morrow County Commission on Children and Families is requesting proposals for projects and services which will enhance the welfare o f Morrow County Children and Families.
