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

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
