Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, April 27,, 2016 Bicyclists get special treat at Heppner stopover The bicycle riders starting from Springield, OR and stopping in Heppner for an over- night started their morning ride—after a quick, early breakfast—by posing on the shamrock before they started pedaling on to Wildhorse Resort and Casino on part of our Blue Mountain Century Scenic Bikeway to attend the Governor’s Conference on Tourism. The guests had dinner Thursday night with entertainment by our own Joe Lindsay, who wrote a song about the bike riders. The riders liked the song so much, they even took a video, hoping to share it at the conference. Many of the cyclists commented how nice and friendly the community was. Heppner Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Sheryll Bates them that “if we can get visitors to come and visit and see for themselves, we can usually count on them coming back again sometime and enjoying our beautiful surroundings and community.” -Photo by David Sykes Wranglers play day results Wranglers Riding Club has announced the results for the April 24 play day, as follows: Stick-Horse Race Three & Under 1st) Morgan Milligan 2nd) Ella Mullins 3rd) Callahan Baker 4th) Jack Eckman Four- and Five-Year-Olds 1st) Ryker Rauch 2nd) Mary Ashbeck 3rd) Savanna Greenup 4th) Axton Hendricks/Pey- ton Matheny Six- and Seven-Year-Olds 1st) Quaid Jensen 2nd) Brooklyn Hendricks Barrels Lead-line 1st) Eli Jones 32.53 2nd) Peyton Matheny 32.56 3rd) Pearl Miller 35.81 4th) Axton Hendricks 37.81 Seven & Under 1st) Quaid Jensen 32.00 2nd) Healy Hisler 32.34 Bingo night at the Grange Friday Lexington Grange will host a Bingo night this Friday, April 29, beginning at 7 p.m. at the Grange Hall, 66296 Marquardt Rd., Lexington.

Despite what seemed to be a lower-than-normal turnout, walk committee co-chair Barb Orwick re- ported that the event has raised a record amount of $13,444 so far, with money continuing to come in. The event was also at- tended by Kim Southworth, MSSMC-Oregon Chapter. Kim told the walkers about a new drug, ocrelizumab, which is the irst drug to be approved for Progres- sive MS which could be available in 2017. She also congratulated everyone on the continued success of the EO walk in Heppner. Volunteers made sure the walkers and runners were well-fed with sand- wiches, fruit and beverages. Local sponsors for the walk this year were Com- munity Bank, Bank of EO, Gregory Smith & Compa- ny, Miller & Sons, MCGG, Devin Oil, Inc., Company Frederickson Farming, LLC, All Saints Episcopal and Hope Lutheran Church. Event organizers say they were pleased with the turn- out and enthusiasm of this year’s event. “Without the support of our committee, volunteers, those who donated and all the participants of the walk/ run, we could not have this special event,” commented Orwick. “It was a good year.” Cardinal Track The Cardinal track team traveled to the 14 th annual Portland Christian Invitational last Saturday.
