They have learned about some of the sport’s heroes, like Babe Ruth and Jackie Robinson. They have also learned a few jokes.. .they might ask you. “What animal will you find at a ballgame?” These youngsters can even read and sing every word in the song, “Take Me Out to the Ball Game.” The students traveled up to the high school on Wednesday to sing to some o f the softball girls and one of their coaches, Pe tra Payne. The students also gave Payne a bag of Cracker Jacks, as well as a big “good luck” to the play ers and their coaches.

A living thermostat There once was a boy who lived in a small house. As he grew up, he began to realize that there were two objects around the house that were similar, yet very different. One, hung from an old oak tree, was a thermometer that would tell the boy how warm or cold the air was around it; the other was a thermostat, which his parents would adjust if the house got to cold or warm, and within minutes this small box on the wall had changed the air around him. It wasn’t until the boy was much older that he finally realized the similarities and differences between these two objects. The thermometer, like the thermostat, had everything to do with the temperature. The difference was that the thermometer merely reflected its environ ment, whereas the thermostat changed its environment to fit its needs. Heppner has the amazing ability to create many ther mostats and challenge its community to grow and become a better place. Instead of simply going with the flow, this community has made it their personal challenge to change the people in their environment if they need something to happen or want to fix a vast problem. I, as well as my classmates, have been given a gift from this great community. We have been given the chance to learn from our surrounding influences and become both the thermometer and the thermostat. As we venture out into the world and go our separate ways, some staying close to home, others going as far as 3,000 miles away, we get to resemble the thermometer, reflecting the experiences Heppner has given us and showing those to the world, as well as becoming thermostats, taking every opportunity to set the tone around us and change our environment for the better. Thank you, Heppner, for giving me, as well as the class of 2012, the gift of being a thermostat and prepar ing me for my adventures outside of the great town of Heppner, OR. Without your guidance, advice, leadership and dependability, I would not be the thriving thermostat I have become. With that, 1 would like to invite the entire community of Heppner to my graduation party on June 1 at 5 p.m. at Terry and Linda Corbin’s house across from the softball field. We are going to have a true celebration with loads of food and tons of dancing until our feet hurt and our stomachs are so full we can hardly walk. I appreciate everything this whole community has given to me and hope that everyone can come and help me remember the past 13 years of my life. I would not be same person without this great community.
