Good News Only
By Doris Brosnan
I hadn’t processed the
sights and sounds of heavy
equipment I saw near the
intersection of Center and
Chase Streets, so I was sort
of startled when I turned
north on Chase from May
last week. Yes, pavement
is now being removed from
Chase, as the long-term
project progresses.
Apparently, the next
stage of improvements on
Gale Street has begun this
week: sidewalks. (My dog
and I will appreciate these.)
As City Manager Cutsforth
noted, “DEstruction is be-
ing replaced with CON-
struction.”
The usefulness of the
remodeled Gilliam-Bisbee
building was again evi-
denced last week, at the
HHS National Honor Soci-
ety induction of new mem-
bers, with lunch following.
Such a nice, well-planned
facility. Congratulations to
the new members.
Mahaley Huddleston,
daughter of Mark and Jan,
has been elected president
of Austin Junior Forum, a
non-profit volunteer orga-
nization supporting women,
children and the elderly in
the Austin, TX area through
community service and
fundraising. Mahaley has
been a member since 2015
and looks forward to lead-
ing the organization this
year and giving back to her
community, surely a value
she learned while growing
up in Heppner.
Tori Lovgren and Kyle
Nicol exchanged wedding
vows last Saturday at the
Lovgren ranch. Beautiful
in her custom-made wed-
ding gown, Tori joined
Kyle for their first dance
as husband and wife, but
they soon grabbed up one
of her boot-tapping nieces
and then one of his nieces
as they continued the dance
as a foursome. “Elegant”
describes the wedding, says
one of the 300 guests, and
especially endearing was
the gift of quarters with the
handmade card in a hand-
made envelope from a very
young guest. The couple
will enjoy a trip away later,
when their jobs allow.
Bobbi Angell’s 76 th
birthday celebration on
Sunday added to the fes-
tive weekend enjoyed by
her Lovgren clan, daughter
Bobbette’s family, and after
her favorite banana cake
with whipped cream, she
celebrated most of the day
helping with the after-wed-
ding cleanup.
If she counts her age
with friends, not years,
JoAnne Burleson is much
older than the 90 years she
celebrated on Monday in
the city park with local and
out-of-town guests. (Of
course, she planned to be
on the tennis court the next
morning.)
No sooner had the ‘21
HHS seniors walked across
the stage and flipped their
tassels than Mr. Morgan’s
Math 095 class ventured
up to the “H” hill behind
the rodeo grounds and re-
arranged the white rocks
from 21 to 22. Looks good,
new-seniors..
Great news for every-
one who wants to go swim-
ming: See the ad in today’s
paper.
And good news for
Heppner library patrons is
that late fines are a thing
of the past, and past fines
will be wiped from the
books. Remember: even if
our library does not have a
copy of a book you want,
the book can usually be or-
dered from another library
in the Sage system and be
ready for you to pick up
almost before you can say
thank you.
Kim Armato reports
that Heppner Daycare
is very excited about a
life-changing program:
Principal Economic Devel-
opment Lead for Amazon,
Hillary Lambert, and her
team met with the HDC
board several weeks ago
and have committed a sub-
stantial amount of financial

support to the childcare
center, hopefully ongoing
annually. This will allow
the childcare facility to
develop programs and hire
qualified personnel while
at the same time offering
scholarships and other ben-
efits to the communities’
families. Also, the board
recently hired a manager
and a teacher, both highly
qualified. Interested? Con-
tact heppnerdaycareinc@

I am aware that in the
last month and a half, two
more relocated Heppner-
ites have signed up for
delivery of the Heppner Ga-
zette-Times, again demon-
strating that keeping in
touch with the happenings
in their hometown is im-
portant, no matter how far
away you roam. (Makes a
thoughtful gift.)
