Reading bugs finish reading program Top th ree su m m er read ers: K ad en C la rk -L eh m a n , fir st place; L ynzie C oller, second place; Payton L eh m an , third place. By Sarah C oller Morrow County children , are full of knowledge and wisdom after com pleting this y ear’s summer reading program, “Don’t Bug Me, I’m Reading.” After reading everything from Disney to Dinosaurs to Dr. Seuss to Doctors, participants ended the six-week program with a "Bugfest /Party in the Park” on July 17. Those who read at least 10 books during the reading season received a certificate from the state superintendent of schools. Books and prizes were given out to the top ten readers. Kaden Clark-Lehman, son of Jon and Jessica Lehman of Lexington, read 90 books, the most out of all participants this summer. Lynzie Coller, daughter of Jamie and Sarah Coller of Heppner, placed second, reading 81 books, and Payton Lehman came in just 40 books behind his older brother at third place with 50 books. Children of all ages, from 6 months to 11-years-old, registered for the program. According to Margaret Flaherty, coordinator, 54 kids registered this year. “That is an increase of 38 percent since last year,” she said. “21 children read over 500 books and 19 read at least 10,” said Barb Orwick, librarian. Flaherty added that, “the library appreciated the great parent participation and assistance in crafts, games and reading.” The fall story time begins Wednesday, September 11,at 11:15a.m. 19th Annual IRRIGON WATERMELON FESTIVAL NEW THIS ÏÏAI Mai Worn HOME RON DERBY S a tu rd a y , J u l y 27, 02 At the Irrigan M arina Park BREAKFAST SOFTBALL TOURNMENT «roas r o w i » C U iM IIG O U U M R ««M ai.O f M U U « C O M B Ito a m To the Editor: To my friends in Heppner: It is with regret that 1 find it necessary to leave Heppner. I have loved my church Small town life is a valuable privilege To the Editor: 1 don’t know if you know any Hedmans. If you don’t, it is most likely that someone you know knows one very well. But isn’t that just small town magic? Yeap, it is. That, and a lot of other reasons, is why 1 am so deeply a part of Heppner, Oregon. I can hardly begin to tell you how much that town and the surrounding area means to my whole family and me. My parents, Jon and Katherine Hedman, older brother, Jason, and younger sister, Jessica moved away from Heppner when I was ten years old. I only attended school there through fourth grade. 1 often dreamed of being back in Oregon with my friends and family. Every chance my family could afford it, we would fly out and visit. Never enough, never long enough. It seems like the older I got, the more we got to visit. After graduating high school in 1993,1 came back to visit and stay for part of the summer. Well, I just couldn’t leave Eastern Oregon. The hunting and fishing. The family, friends and com m unity life was ju st so fulfilling. So I stayed. Working, living, and learning all around Eastern Oregon. 1 worked with Amie and Rita Hedman, Blanche and Paul Jones (my great- grandparents), Tim and Jacque Hedman and Dale Arrington. I worked a number of seasons harvesting with Steve Anderson and at Lamb Weston in Hermiston. Weird thing is, for continued from page one dicey time at Yellowstone Park.

They also spent time working on their 4-H projects to show at fair time. The members who were present were Laurie Murray, Kendra Rayburn and Emily Bergstrom. On July 5, the group had another meeting. During that meeting the members worked on their fair projects. Kendra Rayburn worked on her dress. Krystal Naims worked on her quilt for Hands for Larger service. Laurie Murray made a pillow. Emily Bergstrom worked on a jacket to go with a skirt. All the projects that the girls are making will be displayed during fair time. At the July 12 meeting, the members worked on their fair projects as well. Kendra Rayburn almost finished her dress. Krystal Naims finished her quilt. Laurie Murray worked on a pillow. Megan Orr worked on hemming her dress for fair. Emily Bergstrom almost finished her jacket. On July 19 the group had a meeting at the Extension office. Kendra Rayburn finished her dress. Megan Orr finished hemming her dress. Emily Bergstrom finished her jacket. Krystal N aim s and Laurie Murray were unable to attend this meeting. Between the ages of three and six years, children have developed an imagination. As a parent, I collected and saved any artw ork my child created. Anything from drawings, ceramics and dough art, to mosaics, shell craft, scrapbooks and holiday decorations. The list goes on! Children bring home items from school, Sunday school, 4-H, Hands-on-Science, or a Hands-on-Site-Center. They have made treasures with grandparents, aunts, uncles, sisters, brothers and more. Again, it’s endless! After the enjoyment of the craft, parents should place it in a box, along with all the other keepsakes throughout the year, and bring it to the fair on August 12 between 1 p.m. and 8 p.m. so children can share with the surrounding communities their ideas in the form of their own art. The items are judged, ribbons are given to all participants, and checks are mailed to the children for placing. It’s a shame to not share your child’s wonderful outlook on life. Please share it with Leah Hyatt and Merry Brannon at the kid’s corner at the 2002 Morrow County Fair and Rodeo.

One day, out of nowhere it seemed, it hit me very hard and very seriously that I wanted to make feature films. Not so much TV, sitcoms or commercials, but feature length films. 1 loved them. So I made a plan and prepared the best I could. I decided to go right to the heart of it. If the time came I didn’t like it or enjoy what it was about, I would walk away and pursue some other dream. But I haven’t felt the need to walk away from the business, not yet at least. It’s been a very challenging road. As is any road in life, I have a lot more ahead. 1 am enjoying life, and look forward to more positive results, so that I might spread my good fortune as everyone always has with me. Everyone has always been so supportive of me, and that’s been a nice surprise. I know, and I see, whenever I am in the town of Heppner, why my goals are being accomplished. It’s because there’s a strong sense of work ethic, pride and appreciation for the outdoors and our country. It’s made my family the way they are and so it gave those attributes to me as well. It’s the only thing that saves me from myself sometimes. It’s a valuable gift; the most valuable and useful gift I have ever received and I am thankful for that.
