Gerry Condon. F a th e r C o n d o n 's o rig in a l d ram as have become a St. Patrick’s Day tradition. This marks the 11th year of such a production. The play will be presented at lone Community School on Sunday, March 9, at 3 p.m. and again in Heppner at the St. Patrick’s Parish Hall on Thursday, March 13, at 7 p.m. Admission is free but donations are accepted and are given to a local charity of the cast's choosing. This year's production features a cast of 15 and a production crew o f eight and will chronicle the life of Saint Lawrence O'Toole. Lawrence O ’Tool was bom into a noble family in 1130 A.D. He was taken hostage at an early age by Dermot M acM urrough, King o f Leinster. He was eventually re le a s e d to liv e at a monastery at Glendalough and later became abbot of that monastery. The same king who had earlier held him hostage nominated him to Rome to become the Archbishop of Dublin, which he became. H o w e v e r, L a w r e n c e realized the manipulation by M acM urrough, and he sided with King Rory O ’Connor against him. Vikings attacked Dublin and conquered the city under King Rory's watch but Lawrence encouraged King Rory to fight back. He was successful in regaining control of Dublin. After that Lawrence was called to Rome to participate in the Third Lateran Council. About the same time. King Henry made it known that he was going to impose re stric tio n s on church authority in Ireland, which was contrary to the Windsor Treaty. Archbishop Lawrence set off to England to clarify the matter. King Henry refused to meet with him and left for Normandy. Archbishop Lawrence was persistent and followed him there and convinced King Henry to honor the treaty. Lawrence started back to Ireland but, unfortunately, he fell ill on the way home and died in Normandy in 11X0 A.D. , Ladies PER and Oldtimers Night Thursday March 6 BBQ Steaks By Officers Side Dishes ~ Letters to the Editor ~ the Heppner Gazette Times will print all letters to the Editor with the following criteria met: letters submitted to the newspaper will need to have the name o f the sender along with a legible signature.

Time to take a stand on Heppner citizens’ rights To The Editor, The Heppner City Manager has taken the right steps in pursuing a change in the City Ordinance pertaining to Abandonment of Motor Vehicles. In the City Charter it is stated that the city o f Heppner has adopted the Oregon Vehicle Code by reference. This code is all-inclusive of cars, pickups, boats, campers, utility trailers or any other vehicle requiring a license, allowing it to be used on any public road But this code also includes exemptions from title registration (Oregon Vehicle Code 808.030), stating “title from this state is not required for a vehicle unless the vehicle is operated on a highway in this state.” Without a registration, no license will be issued. Hence, if the owner o f a say, boat or trailer, has no intention of using it on any public highway until it’s worthy, (that person) isn’t required to license it. I encourage and challenge all the good citizens of Heppner to attend the city council meeting on March 10 at 7 p.m. at city call. By showing up in numbers, we will let the council know how strong we feel about this unreasonable ordinance and, hopefully, prompt them to review all the city codes, keeping infringement of the rights of its citizens in mind. Are we going to stand up for our rights or just roll over and turn a blind eye to the over-reaching powers of government? After all, who’s working for whom? Still Very Concerned , (s) Glo Lesperance, Heppner Heppner reminds citizens of open door policy The City of Heppner recognizes that there has been some misinformation and concern regarding projects and agenda items concerning the city and its citizens. The city would like to remind everyone that if they have questions or concerns with the City of Heppner; their office hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, or you can call the city hall at 541-676-9618. The council meetings are open to the public and are held the second Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. “ The Heppner (s) Kim Cutsforth community is a good place Heppner City Manager to raise kids but a hard place to find a job in,” he says. “If we’re going to live here 1 needed to find something to do.

DUNCAN BUYS OUT BRITT -Continuedfrom PAGE ONE “It makes Heppner look pretty well-populated,” he says, adding that he and his three brothers were hom e-schooled because the nearest school was an hour-and-a-half bus ride each way. Duncan went right into business after high school, working, as he says, in “a little bit of everything.” He spent most of his working career in the construction in d u s try , b o th h eav y highw ay and site civil work, covering most o f the state of Montana. He also, among other things, drove a concrete mixer truck in Portland for a while and worked for Swaggart Brothers in Hermiston as site superintendant for four and a half years. He says he was brought to this area by “a redhead.” That redhead was Katie Walton, who now works at Pioneer Memorial Hospital in the radiolpgy department. The couple m et w hile Duncan was attending flight school in Portland during the construction off season. They married in 2007 and now have two little girls with another on the way. Duncan says his family is the reason he bought the business, from Britt.
