Neal Personal Representative c/o Sally Anderson Hansell, OSB #001934 Of Attorneys for Personal Representative Anderson Hansell PC 475 East Main Street Hermiston OR 97838-1926 Telephone: 541-567-7800 Fax: 541-567-7656 Published February 9, 16 & 23, 2022 Affidavit NOTICE OF MEASURE ELECTION NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Morrow County School District No. 1 has referred a measure to voters in the Morrow County School District No. 1 at the May 17, 2022 Primary Election, and the Morrow County Clerk has received a Ballot Title for that referral. Any registered voter dis- satisfied with the Ballot Title may file a petition for before Feb. 28, 2022. The following shall be the ballot title: Bonds to Modernize Schools and Increase Ca- pacity Question: Shall Morrow County School District is- sue up to $138,000,000 in principal amount of bonds to modernize schools and increase capacity? If the bonds are approved, they will be payable from tax- es on property or property ownership that are not sub- ject to the limits of sections 11 and 11b, Article XI of the Oregon Constitution. Summary: The State will provide a $4,000,000 matching grant if voters approve the bonds. If vot- ers do not approve the bonds, the grant will be di- verted to a different school district. If approved this measure would finance capital costs, expected to include projects that: • Upgrade school safe- ty and security in every building; • Modernize schools in- cluding HVAC systems to improve air quality and ef- ficiency; • Improve education- al environments, includ- ing additional classroom space; • Increase accessibility for people with disabili- ties, including improved site accessibility; • Create a K-12 facility at existing Heppner Junior/ Senior High School cam- pus; and • Create separate ele- mentary, middle and high school spaces at combined schools. The District would estab- lish a citizen oversight committee to ensure pro- ceeds are used for purpos- es indicated. Bonds may be issued in multiple series; each ma- turing within 20 years from issuance. The estimated annual tax rate would be $2.67 per $1,000 of as- sessed value. Actual levy rate may differ due to final interest rates and changes in assessed value. Bobbi Childers, Morrow County Clerk 2/16/2022 2-23-1c Blazing Fast Internet! St. Patrick’s celebration to include games and competitions The events scheduled for the Wee Bit O’ Ireland celebration on Saturday, March 12 and 13 will in- clude fun and games for young and old. Participants and spectators are invited to enjoy the fun with road bowling, welly tossing, a bed race and the O’Planky race. Road bowling is an Irish sport in which com- petitors attempt to take the fewest throws to pro- pel a metal ball along a predetermined course of country roads. The sport originated in Ireland and is mainly played in counties Armagh and Cork. Irish road bowling is similar to fast pitch softball, except with a running start. It’s also like bowling, but you need room to run 10 or 15 yards. In a way, it is also like golf…on a road. It dates back to around 1600 in Ireland, when it is said, the Irish troops stole Brit- ish cannonballs and rolled them back to their camps. It had a resurgence in the United States when 40,000 Irish fought for the Confed- erate Army. The “bowl” or “bullet” is an iron and steel cannonball seven inches around and 28 ounces in weight. There are two or more players or teams in a “score.” The one with the fewest shots to the finish line wins. If two players or teams approach the finish line with equal shots, the winner is decided by which throw goes farther past the finish line. The Heppner St. Pat- rick’s road bowling event will be held at Balm Fork Road again this year on Sunday, March 13. Play is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m., with a maximum of 20 teams. The participation fee is $20 per team. To reserve a spot in the competition, please submit the form, the disclaimer with each participant’s signature, and the proper fee amount to the Heppner chamber office or at city hall. Spectators are welcome but are cautioned to remain a safe distance away from the action. The bowls are heavy and can break bones if things get a bit wild. Welly tossing, also known as Welly Hoying, Welly Wanging and Welly Throwing, is a sport in which competitors are re- quired to throw a Welling- ton boot as far as possible. Welly Wanging originat- ed in Upperthong, West Yorkshire, UK at a time Irish Coffee Hour and CEILI, both great pro- grams, are planned for Saturday, March 12 from 10-11:30 a.m. upstairs at the Elks Lodge. Although the Coffee Hour and CEILI won’t be the same as in the past, great programs have been planned to fill the day with music and local talent. The group “Whiskey for Breakfast” will be filling ears and hearts with lots of Irish songs. It won’t be sur- prising if the Leprechauns make an appearance and dance with some of the music during their visit. At the event, some in- formation about this year’s grand marshal, Randall Peterson will be shared, and Joe Lindsay will be writing a song to share as well. The Irish Brogue Contest will give the audience a chance to tell the best “Blarney” stories for a chance to win some gold coins. So, be thinking of something “ap- propriate” to share. The CEILI will run from 2-4 p.m. with Alan Feves and the rest of the “Whiskey for Breakfast” group, mixed in with local talent to wrap up the after- noon. Everyone will want to clap their hands, stomp their feet, have a few laughs and even dance if they choose to, as they enjoy some great Irish music and entertainment. Irish Coffee Hour and CEILI programs scheduled when people didn’t have the distraction of Xboxes, shopping or watching TV to pass the time. Villagers had to be inventive and create games around the everyday objects they had at their disposal. Whatever you prefer to call it, boots are set to fly down Willow Street between Serendipity De- signs and Murray’s Drug on March 12. According to the Guinness Book of World Records the furthest Welly throws were set at Hämeen- linna, Finland, on 12 Oc- tober 1996. The measured throws were Men – 63.98m (209.9 ft) by Teppo Luoma (Finland) and Women – 40.87m (134.08 ft) by Sari Tirkkon (Finland). Pretty impressive distances. There are competition levels for all ages and there is no cost to participate. Team compe- tition will be held from 10 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Children and individual competition will be from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Prizes will be awarded to the top two teams, two highest finish- ers in the individual men and women’s category and children will receive a gold coin for participating. Pick up a team registration form at the chamber office or city hall. The Bed Race Team Relay Competition includes teams consisting of four participants with three pushing and one riding a hospital bed and will start immediately after the Lep- rechaun Run. Participants are asked to be at the beds, between Heppner Market Fresh Foods and the senior center by 11:15 a.m. to get ready to compete. Teams will need to fill out an entry form (and all participants must sign a waiver) and turn it into the chamber office or picked up at the information booth the day of and bring form along to compete The O’Planky Race is a uniquely Heppner game. Teams of four peo- ple strapped by the feet to a wooden plank will have to work together to make it across the finish line. This event will start immediately after the Bed Race and will go the opposite direction of the Bed Races. Participants are asked to meet by the barricade between Heppner Market Fresh Foods and the senior center 11:30 a.m. to get ready to compete. There is no cost to participate. Forms for teams can be picked up at the chamber or city hall offices. ADD TO YOUR PACKAGE FOR ONLY 19 . 99 Do You Have Something to Share? $ /mo. where available 2-YEAR TV PRICE GUARANTEE 69 $ 99 MO.
