High school class
gives local woman
gift of freedom
Heppner woman Barb
Orwick received a special
gift last week when Heppner
high School teacher Dave
Fowler brought his Woods
Manufacturing class to
her house to install a new
wheelchair ramp at her
back door.
O r w i c k , who has
Multiple Sclerosis, broke
both the bones in her right
leg in a home accident
recently, and says the doctor
told her she would be in
a wheelchair for at least
a month. Confined to a
wheelchair, Orwick says
she would have been a
prisoner in her own home
w ithout the new ramp.
“ft means freedom and
independence. Before that,
I was housebound,” she
says.
Students in Fow ler’s
cl ass who he l p e d on
this project were Ethan
Ashbeck, Skyler Hawks,
Keenan Helfrecht, Jacob
Moses and Lane Pilant.
Orwick says they finished
installing the ramp in about
20 minutes.
Barb Orwick sits on the new wheelchair ramp installed by Dave
Fowler's woods manufacturing class, which she says gives her
newfound freedom to leave her home in her wheelchair. Not
available for the picture were Fowler and class members Ethan
Ashbeck, Skyler Hawks, Keenan Helfrecht, Jacob Moses and
Lane Pilant. -Photo by Andrea Di Salvo
