This year's production
features a cast of 15 and a

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.

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?
