Published: March 2 and 9, 2005____________________ No event better typifies the Irish heritage o f Heppner than do the Sheep Dog Trials The handlers and their dogs gather three miles north o f Heppner, along Highway 74, on Saturday, March 19 at 8:30 a m to begin the entertaining competition that will reach a conclusion on Sunday afternoon, March 20. The Sheep Dog Trials were added to Heppner’s tribute to its Irish settlers 22 years ago Since then, the event has relocated from the rodeo grounds to the Thompson Ranch, which was founded in the sheep industry. Today’s organizer, Mary Hamilton, has served for 13 years, even though she moved from Heppner to Walla Walla several years ago. Heppner’s event is one of the calendar year’s earliest o f those sanctioned by the U S. Border Collie Handlers Association M arch’s still-scant hours o f daylight dictate that entries be limited to about 55 teams (handlers and dogs) each day By earning points in the sanctioned trials, o f which there are just over 100 in the United States and Canada each year, teams work to be included among the 150 that qualify for the National Finals competition. This year’s finals will be held in South Dakota in September. The St Pat’s Weekend trials attract com petitors from all over the Northwest, from as far away as California, Alaska, British Columbia and even Alberta, Canada During the two one-day trials, each team competes for prize money and points. Day monies will go to about six places each day, and the top 20 percent in the rankings will earn points in the USBCH Association On Sunday, the over-all winning team o f the two days will receive a trophy sponsored by the Thompson Ranch. The class in which a handler enters a dog can depend on the dog’s age and level o f training. Dogs in the open class are usually at least three years old A sheep dog can usually compete until it is nine years old. Essential training takes about tw o years and then more time is spent St. Paddy’s Day Cruz-In St. Patrick’s Church continues stage production “All roads lead to H ep p n er,” which should make “Car Buffs” happy in March. Entries in the fourth St. Pat’s Celebration Cruz- In will have an opportunity to participate in an exclusive p arad e th is year On Saturday, March 19, vehicles will begin to assemble for the $5 registration at 10:30 a m at the industrial site tw o miles north o f Heppner on Highway 207/74 At noon sharp, all interested owners can join a parade o f cars th ro u g h d ow ntow n Heppner This parade will precede the later St. Pat’s Green Parade Vehicles will then be displayed on Willow Street, for judging and viewing by the public. Each entry will receive a unique dash plaque and winners o f three awards will receive special plaques of re c o g n itio n : The Leprechaun’s Choice, the M ustang Award and the Judges’ Choice As this is one o f the earliest gatherings in Oregon fo r au to aficio n ad o s, o rg a n iz ers ex p ect the weather, as usual, to affect th e num ber o f C ru z-In entries One organizer thinks that this year’s event will top previous years in numbers He acknowledged, however, that some owners will wait for a weather report before making a decision and some will wait until the morning of the event to have a look at the sky b efo re deciding w h eth er to cruise to H eppner or not An e n th u sia stic crow d will welcome the hardy V As a fitting lead-in to the St. Patrick’s Weekend Celebration in Heppner, Father Gerry Condon, Irishman and priest o f the St. Patrick Church, will direct his play “ St. Patrick, Apostle o f Ireland ” On Thursday, March 17, at the parish hall, the cast will enact highlights from the life o f this important bishop o f Ireland Patrick, captured by pirates and taken to Ireland, was sold into slavery and tended sheep in Ulster for several years During his captivity, his faith was strengthened and he became devout. Eventually he was able to escape and return to his family. Some time after that, he had a dream in which he heard the Irish calling, “We beseech you, holy youth, to come and walk once more among us.” So he went to France, studied for the priesthood and was ordained priest and later bishop In 432 A D., he returned to Ireland and traveled from one end o f the country to the other, baptizing many, training and ordaining priests and establishing an estimated 100 churches He did that in spite o f opposition from the Druids, who were strong in Ireland at that time He is reputed to have tried to convert the man who had held him in slavery, but without success Patrick had a magnificent missionary zeal and brought the Catholic faith to multitudes On one occasion, when he was teaching about the Blessed Trinity, one person did not understand him So he bent down and picked up a shamrock He explained that even though the shamrock had three leaves, yet it was only one plant In this way he illustrated that though there are three persons in the Trinity, yet there is only one God He wrote a prayer that states, “Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ beside me...” Patrick died about the year 467 A D This year’s production o f “St Patrick” will hold additional appeal, as original music written by Joe Lindsay has been incorporated into the drama This year's cast: Joe Lindsay, Tom Wolff, Brian Kollman, Barney Lindsay, Dan Lindsay, Mark Miller, Kathy McCabe, Ken Turner, John Murray, Dan Van Schoiack, Tom McElligott, Ashley McCabe, Gayle Arbogast, Larry Lutcher, Debbie Gutierrez and Jim McElligott The March 17 evening will begin at 7:30 p m Though the event is free to the public, donations will be accepted, to be given to a charity Lads and Lassies Teen Dance A favorite spot for junior high and high school students in Heppner on Friday, March 18, is the free Lads and Lassies Teen Dance Sponsored by the St Pat’s Weekend Committee, the dance that begins at 9 p m will feature three hours o f high-energy 3-D productions Dan Bums o f 3-D provides the music, the sound, the lighting, the videos, the laser lights, all the special effects that have made him a favorite DJ among young people who have enjoyed this important segment o f Heppner's weekend celebration The dance will again be held at the Heppner High School Museums and Courthouse “One o f the finest c o lle c tio n s o f farm equipm ent in th e N orthw est,” according to the State o f Oregon, is open to the public on Saturday from 11 a m until 5 p m V olunteers co n tin u e to improve the display o f the equipment collection and welcome visitors to explore the many machines and tools historically important to the farm ing and ran ch in g in d u stries o f E astern Oregon.
