CARD OF THANKS
I would like to thank all the
people that showed support
for me at graduation. It
really means a lot that you
would be willing to donate
to my future. The sheer
fact that someone other
than myself or my family
would be willing to help me
along is a highly endearing
gesture that I appreciate
immensely. What you've
given to me isn't just
something material, but
also the feeling that I have
people backing me in my
quest to better myself is an
assurance that will help me
transition into adult life.
So, with that being said,
thank you to: Community
Bank; the Petzoldt family;
the Boyd family; Ryan
and Sharon Miller; Steve
and Molly Rhea; Jeff and
Missy Cutsforth; Curt,Ruth
and Kelly Eadler; Larry,
Tina and Skyler Palmer;
Sue Gibbs; Mike and Kay
Proctor; Tom and Karen

Ken and Carrie Grieb;
Meredith Walters; Chandra
Arbogast and family; Gary
and Nancy Propheter; Al
and Donna Osmin; and
Ruth Maben. I would also
like to thank all of the staff
at Heppner Elementary
School and Heppner High
School. Without your help
and support I would not
have made it this far. Joe

Volunteers. -Photo by Kay Proctor
By Kay Proctor
A peaceful retreat on
Willow Creek has been
recognized as Yard of the
Month for June. Ruth and
Curt Eadler and daughter,
Kelli, moved into their
home on 540 Hagar in
2008 when Curt’s work at
the PGE McCarty Plant in
Boardman brought him to
the area.
Their home sits on al-
most an acre of property
and is just yards from the
creek. The many plant-
ings, large shop, henhouse,
neighboring Hager Park,
and the rustic collectibles
Ruth uses in their landscape
give their yard a country
homestead feel. Wildlife
enjoys the yard also, in-
cluding raccoons, skunks,
beaver, cedar waxwings,
ospreys, blue heron and
hawks. Houses have been
put up to welcome birds
and bats. Grazing deer
have prompted the Eadlers
to build wire cages around
many of their plantings and
put fencing around their
large vegetable garden.
Fruit trees were already
established when they
moved in, and the Eadlers
added more. Sadly, as with
so many residents of Mor-
row County, several trees
died this year due to weath-
er conditions. Their red
raspberries came through
just fine, and provide lots of
jams and pies. Ruth keeps a
nice-sized herb garden, too.
In addition to their fruit and
vegetables plantings, they
have a variety of perennials
and annual flowers.
A challenge in the yard
was a mass of overgrown
irises growing through
chain link fencing, which
were eventually moved to
one of several raised beds
they have built.
Improvements to the
house include new win-
dows, roof and front door.
A flag pole was put in to
fly the American flag year-
round. Their shady back
yard with patio provides
privacy and a hammock to
enjoy it in. The family says
it likes listening to Willow
Creek as it tumbles through.
Soil is rocky, and the
Eadlers have a rock pile
they add to regularly in the
part of their yard called ‘the
field.’
Loads of dirt brought
in are screened before used,
so the rock pile continues to
grow. Soil is amended with
peat moss and compost.
While working on their
property, they have found
older red bricks, lots of golf
balls and even some golf
clubs, a harmonica reed, an
Olympia stubby beer bottle,
cast bullet, and a toy car.
Some of the many rus-
tic and charming collect-
ibles Ruth uses in landscap-
ing are from the Lakeview,
OR family home where she
was born and raised. Curt’s
family is originally from
Illinois, and he grew up in
Portland.
Ruth is employed at
Pioneer Memorial Hospi-
tal’s dietary department.
She can often be seen out
walking with the family
pet dogs, Sage and Casey.
Harry the cat stays home.
Kelli, who is a junior
at Heppner High School,
works in the yard with her
folks. One of her contri-
butions is a pine tree she
received through a reading
program at Heppner Ele-
mentary, brought home and
planted close to the creek
where it grows and thrives.
The Eadlers enthusias-
tically support the nursery at
MCGG-Green Feed & Seed
and the greenhouse sales
of the FFA organization at
HHS. Some plantings, such
as peonies, are shared with
them by friends.
Kelli’s favorite plant
is their Scotch pine and
Ruth’s are the succulents.
Curt doesn’t have one fa-
vorite; he “likes them all.”
Curt says he has always
“played in the dirt” and
Ruth remembers “always
gardening” although some
years they are “more into
it then others.” As part of
their advice they mention
to “find what you like and
go for it.”
Yard of the Month rec-
ognition is sponsored by
the Heppner Volunteers,
MCGG-Green Feed and the
City of Heppner. Contact
Kay Proctor if you would
like to be a part of the Hep-
pner Volunteers.
