Elementary and mid-
dle school students from
Heppner participated in
the 2020 Regional Chess
for Success Tournament
in Hermiston last week.
Players also attended from
Baker City, The Dalles and
Hermiston.
Heppner did not have
enough middle school stu-
dents for a team but Journey
Cavan-Harris and Delilah
Sauceda earned a total of
six points. Journey will at-
tend the state tournament as
the sixth-grade champion.
The Heppner elementa-
ry team earned 19 points
for first place and will be
attending the state tour-
nament. Elementary team
players were Joe McMas-
ters, Mary Ashbeck, Jasper
Hanna, Avia Panky-Bote-
fuhr, Maxwell Von Gunten
and Ketch Fennern.
Joe McMasters earned
first-place in the fifth-grade
category and Jasper Hanna
and Mary Ashbeck tied for
first in the K-4 category.
The state tournament
will be held in Portland, OR
on March 13 and 14.
“The Little Way of St.
Therese,” written by Fa-
ther Gerald Condon, will
be presented March 8 at 3
p.m. at the Ione Community
School and on March 12 at
7 p.m. at St. Patrick’s Parish
Hall in Heppner. Admission
is free, donations accepted.
Saint Therese was born
in France in 1873 and was
canonized by Pope Pius
XI in May of 1925. With
a steel will, she struggled
wit the church authorities
to be permitted to join the
convent at Lisieux. Church
law did not permit a person
so young to make such a
serious commitment. She
was refused by the Mother
Superior, went to the local
Bishop, and was denied.
Not daunted, she went to
the Pope. The rest is history.
Her approach to holiness
was the “Little Way of
Spiritual Childhood.” She
was affectionately known
as “the Little Flower.”
Father Condon has
been writing and produc-
ing plays for over 25 years.
Many of the cast members
participating in this year’s
production were in his orig-
inal productions. It is a rou-
tine comment among cast
members and production
crew, “You can’t say no to
Father Condon.”

The Ione School Dis-
trict was recently awarded
$24,366 from the Columbia
River Enterprise Zone II
(CREZ II). Port of Morrow
Commissioner Marvin Pad-
berg presented the check
to Ione Principal Rollie
Marshall, who thanked the
CREZ II Board for its gen-
erous donation.
Marshall said Ione will
use the funds to further
upgrade technology in the
Ione schools. “For a small
school district like ours,
having a source of funds
like this is really positive,”
Marshall said.
Money disbursed from
CREZ II was collected in
2019 in accordance with
agreements made with var-
ious businesses and the
CREZ II Board. The Co-
lumbia River Enterprise
Zone II was established in
2009 after the success of the
Columbia River Enterprise
Zone I. Enterprise zones
offer a unique resource
for Oregon communities,
providing benefits for both
businesses located within
an enterprise zone and the
region surrounding it.
