Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, May 20, 2015 Hardman Community Center holds annual meeting The Hardman Commu- nity Center held its annual meeting on Wednesday, May 13, at 7 p.m. at the center with 17 members attending. The members started the evening with a moment of silence to honor the passing of Dick Cun- nington and then proceeded with business. Ronda Wright has re- signed as secretary and Claudia Huston Smythe was voted in to replace her. President Bob Allen indicted he would like to retire, and Mel McDaniel was voted in as the new president. Replacing Mel McDaniel on the board of directors will be Dick Paris, joining Sam Martin and Bob Stevens. Rick McDaniel will continue as vice president and Daniel Van Schoiack as treasurer. Van Schoiack gave the treasurer’s report, indicat- ing the center has about $3,800 available to use for matching grants and repairs. Van Schoiack also indicated that the annual non-profit paperwork is filed or in the process of being filed. He also said he would get a list of paid membership to Smythe so she could bill out for unpaid dues. Anyone interested in joining the center can contact Claudia at hcc@ hughes.net or by calling 541-676-9718. Dues are $10, “an inexpensive way to help preserve a piece of Members of the Hardman Community Center (pictured) held their annual meeting last week. –Contributed photo history,” added Smythe. Wright donated the an- nual meeting ad. Joe Stone gleaned and donated enough tiles to re- place the carpeting in both bathrooms. One of Sam Martin’s sons has promised to install it next time he is in town. Bob Allen’s son salvaged and donated some wood and a hutch from a UP facility that was being torn down. Allen will cut the wood to length and Rick McDaniel will mill it into wainscoting to complete the dining room. Smythe said she will strip and refinish the hutch later this summer. The kitchen is finished and operational. This proj- ect was completed almost entirely by Allen, who re- ceived a round of applause at the meeting. A work day will be set to shore up the ceiling trusses in the dining area and, once the wainscot- ing is finished, the room will be painted and tables moved back in. The bar from the old Hardman Saloon that was found, salvaged and donat- ed by Martin is still in the process of being repaired. It had been cut in half and used as a workbench; sev- eral members have par- ticipated in restoring it. Anyone who knows the whereabouts of the other half is asked to contact the Hardman Community Center. Members also gave authorization to buy wheels for the base to make it easier to move around the kitchen, as the community center plans on using it for serving. The west end of the hall was severely damaged and was covered in T11 in 2001. Members decided it is now time to replace the T11 with something more authentic in keeping with the center’s designation on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012. Gerald Peterson will donate the pine logs and Rick McDaniel will mill and plane them. Mel McDaniel will look in to having them kiln dried. Once the logs are available, the center will apply for grants to cover the cost of the other items needed and the lift rental, possibly even including insulation. Once the work on the west side is completed the north side will be assessed. Sylvia Allen is in charge of the photos and other items donated to the center for display. The cen- ter is rapidly becoming a re- pository for all things Hard- man, and members agreed they may need to look into the possibility of becoming an official museum at some point. The photos currently on display need retagged as the tags are faded; Al- len and Smythe said they will try to work on that this summer. The next meeting of the Hardman Community Cen- ter will be held in June when research on grant informa- tion has progressed, time and date to be determined. The meeting also will be a potluck to honor the cen- ter’s retiring president, who has donated countless hours to the preservation of the Hardman Community Center. The public will be invited to attend.

However, those who submit recipes are asked to put their names on the recipes so they will receive recognition in the cookbook.
