Dinner at the cemetery to return Local students inducted into the Yard of the Month
to Heppner
National Honor Roll
On Sept. 10. when
Cycle Oregon participants
visit Heppner, the downtown
S ham rock w ill becom e
center stage for an afternoon
and
e v en in g
of
entertainment. And Valley
residents are encouraged to
be part of the audience.
Concluding the local
portion of the talent, cast
members of the “Dinner-at-
th e-C em etery R epertory
T h e a tre ” w ill o ffer a
production com prised of
som e p erso n alities from
p rev io u s p e rfo rm an c es.
‘This hour-long show will be
a perfect opportunity for
residents who missed our
dinner-theatre productions
to share an e n tertain in g
g lim p se into H e p p n e r’s
history,” explains Sharon
Harrison, co-producer.
The primary topic of
the production is the 1903
Heppner Flood, and for the
most part, the actors will be
dramatizing the actual words
of historical figures. “Our
p ro d u c tio n s are both
e d u ca tio n a l
and
entertaining,” Co-producer
Doris Brosnan says. “Many
people here w ith C ycle
Oregon will not know the
history o f our 1903 Hood
until we bring some of the
facts to th e ir a tte n tio n .
Though this may sound like
a depressing topic to share
w ith v isito rs, o ur o th e r
purpose is to bring to life the
optimism and rebirth that
su rfaced
a fte r
the
devastation. Our production
is, actually, both dramatic
and humorous.”
The dinner-theatre
troupe has perform ed to
lim ited au d ien ces at the
cemetery for four years and
have wanted to share the
productions with anyone
in terested but unable to
atten d . The S ept. 10
performance is scheduled to
begin at 4:30 p.m., after a
variety
of
o th e r
e n tertain m en t that w ill
precede it on the stage at the
Shamrock. "This will be fine
and free entertainment, so
bring a chair and join us,”
Harrison exclaims.

Yard of the Month
honors for August in the City
o f H ep p n er have been
awarded to Sam and Jessie
Scott at 175 Rock Street.
Jessie and Sam have
lived in Heppner for 30 years
and in their ranch style home
for 29 of those years. They
began their married life living
in Long Creek for a year and
then moved to Monument,
which is Jessie’s hometown.
Sam is from Vale originally
and is retired from driving
big trucks after almost 50
y ears o f h au lin g fo rest
products. Jessie has worked
at various jobs over the years
and now helps out Ed Dick.
Their son, Robert, lives in
D eer P ark, WA. Sadly,
another son, Robin, recently
passed away.
W hen the S co tts
purchased their home, there
was no yard and only a small
cement pad in back. Over the
years, they have created a
back and front yard that are
very different from each
other, but both attractively
landscaped.
The front yard has
no law n, but p lan ted
throughout its mulched soil
are p e re n n ia ls such as
lavender, variegated irises
and peonies. Shrubs include
a burning bush and a tidily
pruned mugho pine. A ‘Paul
S c a rle t’ H aw thorne tree
p ro v id es shade and late
spring, deep pink blooms.
J e s s ie ’s fa v o rite
plants are petunias and she
uses a variety of collectibles
to plant annual flow ers.
There is a wheelbarrow with
moss roses and a wagon
wheel rim planted upright
with a bucket full of sedums
dangling from its center. A
bright red, old-fashioned
hand pum p su p p o rts an
American flag.
Mixed in among the
plantings are various granite
rocks that were there upon
moving in. An inviting front
porch is shaded in the
morning and has a red rose
climbing up its latticed tfides.
Close by are tomatoes and a
small wooden bridge. A low
fence borders the driveway
with marigolds along it. The
most colorful front yard
plantings are the bright 4
o ’c lo ck s, w hich reseed
themselves every year.
Since this style of
landscaping does not take as
m uch w ater as a law n,
Jessie just uses a garden
hose to water the front yard
every other day. Sam is in
charge of spraying weeds.
Their toy poodle, Chico, is
known as “The Boss” of
both of them and Scotts say
that they live with Chico.
A side yard is
planted with coral bells,
S h asta d a isie s and a
forsythia shrub and, again,
no lawn to cut back on
water usage.
In the back yard
there is a lush, thick lawn,
which Sam mows. They
both enjoy BBQing on the
terraced, carpeted patio
that runs the length of their
house. This area is Jessie’s
favorite and both Scotts
enjoy the patio almost year
round. There is a good view
at night of the lighted cross
on Cross Hill.
A stand o f pines
guards the back property
line, but also invites in little,
wild bunny rabbits and quail
to visit. Not so welcome
visitors are the deer that
invite themselves in to dine
on the roses.
O th er b ack y ard
w oody p la n tin g s are
p o ten tillas, lilacs and a
purple flowering butterfly
bush. T rees in clu d e a
flo w erin g plum and a
spruce. T here is also a
maple given to them by BJ
Hill as a little girl.
W hile she grew
vegetables in Monument,
here Jessie sticks to flowers
in the backyard including
sandwort, hardy geraniums,
coleus, pink cosmos, lilies
and mums. Some cheery
lo o k in g gnom es m ake
themselves comfortable in
the flowerbeds along with
a wishing well. Since Jessie
likes frogs and has received
many decorative ones as
g ifts, she u ses them
throughout both yards.
Jessie said that she
got her love of flowers from
both of her folks. She has
no particular plans in the
future, but she will “never
be through” with her garden
work. That itself sounds
like a good plan.
Yard of the Month
recognition is co-sponsored
by the H eppner G arden
Club. MCGG Green Feed,
Heppner TV and the City of
Heppner.
