I Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, March 17,2004 - THREE Judge Murgo files for Pos. #7 on the Oregon Supreme Court lone students tour sheep ranch Students get a chance to pet and hold the lambs at Krebs' Ranch. Students take the lamb wagon to view the Dog Village. The sounds o f sheep bleating came not just from the sh e e p , b u t a ls o fro m th e m ouths o f the lone School c h ild re n w h o v is ite d the Krebs’ Sheep Ranch recently. T he k in d e rg a rte n th ro u g h fourth grades traveled to Cecil to see first hand what happens on a sheep ranch. They saw ew es and lam bs frolicking in the outdoors, newborn lambs in the bam s by their m others and they even witnessed triplet lambs being bom. A Wee Bit O* H o s ts , S k y e a n d Penny Krebs led the students through the bams and pastures where thousands o f sheep are kept through the winter. The children and teachers were transported in the lamb wagon to view Dog Village w here they keep the sheep dogs. A stop at the Cecil Store for juice and lamb cutout cookies supplied by Mrs. Krebs was a big hit. Then it was on to the b u m m er lam b barn w here M rs. K re b s s h o w e d th e students how she feeds the lambs. Lunch was back in the Cecil Store followed by a tour o f the bom b shelter that was erected in the 1950s. T h e s tu d e n ts a n d teachers returned to school with many stories, smiles and even som e “sheepy” sm ells. Sheep cookies made by Peggy Doherty were waiting for the afternoon snacks. Everyone had a wonderful day. By Claudia Hughes ’Tis appreciating the likes o ’ ye, the St. P atrick’s C om m ittee w ould be. There would not be enough space to n a m e a ll w h o m ad e th is w eekend a great tim e for all our visitors. The wind got the best of some of the Irish family flags this year, and they have been retired. Sam ple flags have been ordered and new flags are in the works. Families will be hearing from the committee and will have the opportunity to claim their old flag. D uring the K U M A Coffee Hour every year there are Irish toasts, m any Irish jo k es, history, and plenty o f Irish music, but it’s mostly our many visitors who hear this as the rest o f the com m unity is hard at work. The com m ittee wishes to hear from Heppner's organizations and from the community, as 2005 planning starts im m ediately. Entities who put on events, businesses, and individuals are encouraged to respond directly to the St. P at’s C om m ittee, P.O. Box 1232, H eppner, O R 97836. Is it to be or not to be, that is the question. Should caterers be hired to let the community relax? Should the entire venue be changed ? Will leprechauns offer lessons on w earing green, m aking the D ress W atc I hes \ parade green, and getting into the spirit of the event? ’Tis sure they have the energy.
