Heppner Elks Father’s Day
picnic and Kenny Turner
Horseshoe Contest to be held
The Heppner Elks
Lodge #358 is holding its
annual Fathers Day picnic
with a special dedication
this year. It marks the first
year o f many to come in
honor of Kenny Turner and
his devotion to his fam
ily and the Heppner Elks
Lodge #358.
At the time of his
passing Kenny was a 54
year member of the Hep
pner Elks Lodge and our
Lodge Organist for all of
those years. There weren't
many Elks Fathers Day pic
nics he missed and he was
always on hand to get the
Horseshoe contest started.
His family has many mem
ories of the picnic, games,
and horseshoe contests that
always take place at this an
nual event.
The Heppner Elks
Lodge has great pleasure in
dedicating this annual event
in Kenny’s honor. There
will be a plaque decorated
w ith a horseshoe and a laser
engraved picture of Kenny
tossing shoes. The w inners
o f the Horseshoe Contest
will have their names en
graved on the plaque each
year which will be dis
played at the Heppner Elks
Lodge. Jean Anne Turner
has also started a “Pot" with
an undisclosed amount of
money to the w inner so you
need to plan on attending
this annual event with your
family.
The picnic will be
Sunday, June 21, starting
at 11 a.m. at Anson Wright
Park. As always the lodge
will be providing the hot
dogs, condiments, and bev
erages so bring your favorite
side dish and make it a great
potluck with friends and
family. There will be plenty
of activities with fishing at
the pond, three-legged race,
egg toss, coin toss, football
throw, free throw contest
and horseshoes.

Third graders at Sam Boardman Elementary recently com
pleted a fundraiser to help fight poverty. -Contributed Photo
Due to the fund
raising efforts of a third
grade class at Sam Board-
man Elementary School,
four families throughout the
world will soon be given a
chance for a better life.
In April, Mrs. Rai-
ble’s class raised money for
Heifer International. Heifer
International is an orga
nization that helps people
around the world by buy
ing livestock animals and
giving them to people in
poverty stricken areas. The
families are taught how
to care for and breed the
animals, and are expected
to give one of the offspring
to another family so that it
is truly a gift that keeps giv
ing. Families use the ani
mal products (eggs, milk,
cheese, etc.) for food. The
surplus products can also
sold or traded so that they
can afford shelter, clothes,
and an education for their
enuaren.
Over the period of
three weeks, students read
about the countries that

- The crew started paving
on May 26. In the last five
days the crew has hauled
and placed 5,470 tons of hot
mix for a total of $314,528.
Due to the distance from
the source of the hot mix,
we have used four Granite
Northwest trucks and three

help haul the hot mix. This
project is 5.6 miles in length
and should be finished by
June 10. Burke O ’Brien

discussed the need for ad
ditional funding for the roof
repair at the museum, since
we will be in a new budget

done. The original plan was
to use some of the budget
allocated to the new roof on
the court house. Mr. Sweek
asked if the compensation
committee had met to dis
cuss elected officials com
pensation. The court stated
that the committee has not
met, but will be scheduled

that could benefit the people
living there. Each student
also had to make a budget
on how best to spend the
money and defend their de
cision in writing. The class
then tallied up the votes for
each animal and the animals
with the most votes were
chosen.
A lto g e th e r th e
class raised $220 by sell
ing popcorn on two separate
Thursdays and by auction
ing off two craft baskets
at the school carnival. The
class raised enough money
to buy three rabbits, a flock
of chicks, a goat, and a flock
of ducks.
