County ballot measure makes international spotlight -Continued from PAGE ONE add two Republicans to the U.S. Senate,” the Greater Idaho website states. “That means that Democrats in the Oregon Legislature and Congress would never al- low it. Even if they become a minority sometime, they could still walk out of the Legislature to stop it. “They are more likely to let us join Idaho.” If voters in Morrow County pass measure 25- 88, Morrow County Com- missioners will be required to meet three times a year to discuss how best to pro- mote their country’s inter- est in “any negotiations regarding the relocation of the Oregon-Idaho state bor- der,” according to the ballot measure wording. Even if counties vote to pursue the change, leg- islatures in both Oregon and Idaho would have to approve the redrawing of state lines, after which it would go before Congress. Congress has approved such state compacts be- fore, most recently in 1999, when Congress approved an interstate compact be- tween Missouri and Ne- braska, which exchanged farmland along the banks of certain stretches of the Missouri River.

A celebration of life will be held Nov. 5 at 1 p.m. at the Heppner Elks Lodge. Calvin was born Nov. 8, 1933, in Heppner, to Allen and Irene (Aiken) Sherman. When Calvin was approximately five years old, his family moved to Cordova, AK, where his fa- ther worked as a fisherman. Calvin had fond memories of his childhood in Cordo- va, specifically being in the outdoors; camping, fishing, swimming and boating. He even had a ‘pet’ seal that would come into the harbor. When Calvin was around 12 years of age, his parents divorced, and Calvin moved with his mother and grandmother to Seattle. He delivered papers by bicycle and enjoyed a lot of freedom to roam the streets of Seattle. Calvin’s father purchased a car for Calvin when he was only 15 years old. Shortly there- after, Calvin began to travel to Heppner for weekends to visit his aunt and uncle, Ora and Harold Evans, at their ranch outside of town. He loved Heppner so much that, at the age of 17, he moved there to work with Uncle Harold on the ranch. Calvin met Beverly Burn- side while she was working at the Morrow County Fair. It was love at first sight and the couple married on Dec. 11, 1952. They had three children, Ron, Barbara and Janice. After leaving ranch work behind, Calvin worked for Stone Machin- ery with his father-in-law, Charles Kirk. He worked on Caterpillar tractors through- out Morrow and Gilliam counties. In 1968, Calvin and Beverly purchased the Atlantic Richfield gas station on Main Street in Heppner. Through the years the station evolved through many brands, eventually becoming Cal’s Service Center. Cal and Bev sold the station in 1998 and have enjoyed a long retirement. Calvin was the epitome of a family man. He loved taking his children, and lat- er grandchildren, camping and boating. Cal and Bev were members of McNary Yacht Club for more than 50 years. Another favorite family vacation was Disneyland. Cal and Bev traveled with their children on many trips to the theme park.

Calvin was a lifelong member of the Heppner Elks Lodge. He acted as ex- alted ruler from 1972-1973 and also acted as the lodge sponsored Easter Bunny for 30 years. Most people will re- member Calvin for his wit, his kindness and his good-natured spirit. Some- where along his way, he began an interesting hab- it of placing smiley-face rocks inside his kids and grandkids shoes, which they would discover as they were trying to put the shoes back on. That evolved into openly passing out his rocks to others. He has graced many members of the Hep- pner community with his gift of a smiley-face rock. We all cherish our ‘Papa Rocks.’ He is survived by his wife, Beverly; his three children, Ron (Mercedes), Barb Watkins (Gary), Jan Huddleston (Mark); seven grandchildren, Jeff, Julie, Jacob, Jenny, Kyle, Ma- haley and Jared; and two great-grandchildren, Del- ilah and Calina. He was preceded in death by both his parents. Memorial contributions may be made to Heppner Elks Lodge, BPOE #358, P.O.
