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.

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.

’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.
H e p p n e r h a s an
o p p o rtu n ity to h av e Irish
m usicians and their relatives
direct from Ireland next year.
T he S h e n a n ig a n s w ill be
representing us in Ireland this
sum m er as they take m usic
le sso n s, b o a rd w ith Irish
fam ilies, and share H eppner
history. They will have tales to
tell and songs to sing. The
C om m erford Step D ancers
from the T ri-C ities w ish to
perform here. A nd ’tis true
that some o f our citizens wish
to bring back “ R etu rn To
County M orrow.” Decisions,
decisions. Help your St. Pat’s
Directors, please.
A nd w ith th at, we
leave you with this Irish Toast
and trust that you have a wee
bit o ’ fun on this M arch 17,
St. Patrick’s Day.
