By Doris Brosnan Have you noticed the pay phone station by the gas station? Yes, the phone, handset, and line are all in place (the only component missing is a dial tone), which could be good news for someone who wants his/her picture taken with this relic from the past as a prop to show to young people. (“You made phone calls on that?! How? And you put money where? How much? Why?....”) Could the weather have been any more co- operative for the first long weekend in over a year that has not been locked down because of Covid? And the many people who were feeling the freedom of be- ing out and about over Me- morial Day weekend can thank the individuals who have been vaccinated, ap- parently. Vaccination num- bers are high enough to re- sult in so many fewer cases of the disease and fewer restrictions for everyone, including the individuals still not vaccinated. (But yes, questions do persist, and our South County does report added cases.) So many RV trailers went through Heppner that weekend, coming to campgrounds, wide spots along mountain roads, the OHV park – and then, a few days later coming through again, heading home. Surely some camp- ers spent some time on Main Street in our busi- nesses, good news for our economy. The new information desk/restrooms building by the post office is near- ing completion, with just a few more details to be add- ed. Maybe it will be usable by our next big city event? (Heppner still has an un- filled employment opening in the maintenance depart- ment, which has impacted the pace at which some projects have progressed.) The hanging baskets on Main Street are looking fuller almost daily and will soon be deeply engulfed in vibrant blooms. The construction crew on Gale Street don’t even need to slow down or stop their work for our local Cervidae (curious, I looked it up; hope I have used it correctly): the doe that am- bled across one intersec- tion, just feet away from the loud noises of the huge pieces of moving equip- ment as men also moved about the site, and the six deer that settled down on the Episcopal Church lawn to watch this same work in front of them. (Only thing lacking at the show was the popcorn!) An example of good news: A person decides to move away, has to sell the present house; a neighbor and close friend who hates to see this friend move has actually been thinking about moving into a differ- ent house, for a variety of reasons; this friend buys the house, which happens to be just across the street! How easy is that? Yep, it happened – and it only took three days from first thought to done deal! Rollie and Debbie Marshall are sort of “going back home” now that he has retired from the Ione Charter School. They are moving to Wallowa, where Debbie’s mother now lives a stone’s throw from the house in which Debbie was raised. Debbie and Rollie both graduated from Wallowa High School. Graduating from high school, commencing adult life. What great news for Ione and Heppner seniors last Friday and Saturday! Congratulations to them and their parents for per- severing through the year and a half of confusing, frustrating educational and social demands. And good luck! Mike and Marlene Gray of Rhea Creek were reminded on Sunday by their large family and sev- eral friends that they will have been married for 60 years on June 10. Such a great occasion called for family, friends, food, and fun. Laurie Hire shared one last Heppner lunch for a few neighbors and friends at her home last Friday, as she now completes her packing for the move to her new home in Prairie City later this month. Jeanne Daly cannot praise highly enough, she says, the physical thera- py services she continues to get through the health district. Since her severe accident in February, when she ended up in a hospital bed for weeks, therapy has helped her transition from bed to wheelchair, to walk- er, to cane. Another ex-Heppner- ite reports staying up on area happening by reading the GT. Ron Gray, now a Pendletonian, also reports that he thinks he is lucky to be alive, as he suffered a wicked case of Covid-19 and lives to tell the tale. This is good news, but he also reports that he seems to be a “long hauler” with some lingering challenges. The WIND didn’t co- operate with vendors and the stage show, but spirits remained high at the Hep- pner Outreach Council’s first “First Friday” event last Friday. The open-mic event followed on Sunday, with a small audience and some local talent braving the somewhat challenging wind. Encouraging signs of community support and some returning normalcy. Grab your swimsuits and towels! The swimming pool is scheduled to open on June 16. It’s going to be back, the July 4th celebration in Ione! Music, games, food, cars, parade and more? – all the ingredients for a party on the 244th birthday of our nation, so watch for the details. The party for the 60’s HHS classes is still on the docket for July 17, a cele- bration of having grown up in Heppner. Information and necessary reservations are available from Ken Evans (541-571-7982) and Stuart Dick (541-377- 5451). How thoughtful and organized, the bank and other business clerks who have their cash drawers ready for handing cash back to the customer with all the bills facing the same direction! Not only does this look cleaner, tidier, it also makes following the transactions easier on one’s eyes. Many readers can remember when this procedure was automatic and expected. (Humor- ous: One clerk recently acknowledged the impor- tance of this organization and has even gone so far as to help select, well- known customers organize their wallets in this way and with the smaller bills in the front graduating to the larger bills in the back. With a smile on her face, of course!) Please share your good news “tidbits” by sending them to dbrosnan123@ gmail.com, or calling 541- 676-5382 or 541-223-1490 or stopping me on the street! Here’s hoping that some good news comes to every- one reading this!
