Ione ASB officers host Veteran’s Day assembly Abby Grace Laben ske was bom into the arms of God on November 14, 2010. She was definitely a fighter in her 23 weeks and 5 days gestation. She sur vived longer than expected. Abby let it be known early on that she was the princess and she would cooperate as she saw fit, regardless of what Mama, Daddy, and the doctors thought. She is loved by: her parents, Gillian Nel son and Jesse Labenske of Arlington; big sister Tay lor o f Baker City; grand parents Becky Nelson of The Dalles, Don Ranne of Hermiston, and Anita and Don Troxell of Reedsport; great-grandparents Jeanine and Wallace Webster o f North Bend, Norma and Clarence Cooper of Phoe nix, AZ, and Anita Glenn of Lousiville, TX. Abby is also loved by Aunt Kelsey Hillis-Meade, Uncle Chris, and cousin Earl of Del Ray Oaks, CA; Aunt Crystal and Uncle Cooper Labenske, and cousins Megan and Caleb of The Dalles. Abby is also loved and missed by many other “aunts”, “uncles”, “cousins”, and friends across the country and around the world.

And everyone who participates will be helping financially a facility important to many Heppner children, Heppner Day Care. Not to frighten anyone away, I must let people know that “Legends...” will be playing again this year, pumped and confident! Surely, this is our year - after at least seven or eight years of not even placing in the top half of the rankings! And if we don’t know many answers, we can still hope to win some of the door prizes that will be handed out during the evening. And if we don’t win some of those, we can still harass the other teams. One thing we know for sure is that we will have a good time, as will all the other players. I can’t think of a more enjoyable way to spend an evening while helping out Heppner Day Care. Anyone can come to the Elks on Saturday eve ning before the 7 p.m. starting time and get in on the fun. Show up and hook up with one to five other people to form a team! It is that easy. 1 hope to see at least 20 teams at the Elks, showing support for Heppner Day Care and showing their good- natured interest in all things trivial! Doris Brosnan Heppner Wandering back roads and small towns To the Editor: We like wandering the back roads of Oregon (anywhere really) and enjoy small towns. Heppner has the ingredients for keeping folks who like to RV or camp: interesting town with an emphasis on its history, proxim ity to the outdoor activities, a surprisingly good RV park, good eats, friendly folks etc. I’m pretty adventuresome so I like to mix and explore. I had a beer at Bucknum’s (and learned all about the old safe and beautiful oak backbar), had a good breakfast at the diner just down the street (also a bakery); watched the local high school team play football; my wife hit the quilt shop on Sunday, etc. and obviously we walked the town. Before landing in a place we usually look at the rvparkreview.com to see what folks think of the camping. We also use Woodall but find the rvparkreviews site to be better. On the website there was nothing on Willow Lake so I added a review. I see where someone else has since stayed and also rated it (and your area) positively. Your challenge is to get folks to take the time to get to Heppner. That’s a toughie. I used to sit on the board of the Southern Oregon Visitor Assn, and we preached that any local entity be it county or city should budget 10% of their ad or promotion dollars to communities/publications etc. and be an active participant in any regional tourism association. The State now hands out a lot more money for tourism and you need to be visible or part of a group that is visible. Hope this helps. You have a nice place worth visiting and it was fun to shoot, too.
