Sunridge shop program nails down tool donation A generous donation to the Sunridge Middle School shop program was presented May 11 by area businesses. Kirby Nagelhout Construction Company began discussing the need for new and updated tools with shop teacher Ken Jacobs late last summer as they were completing major upgrades at the school. KNCC Super- intendent Jon York worked with Jacobs to develop a list of needed tools and supplies and then took the lead in reaching out to subcontractors and suppliers for donations that would beneit the program. This effort culminated in the donation of items including sanders, cordless drills, clamps, a bench top planer, a variety of saws (compound miter, sabre, cross cut, circular) and personal protective equipment. The total value of the donated items was $3,393. The businesses who donated were: Kirby Nagel- hout Construction Company, D&B, Gordon’s Electric, Tum-a-Lum, Builder’s Hardware, Apollo Mechan- ical Contractors, Kelly Lumber and Noise Control of Washington. Michelle Jones, director of Business Services for the Pendleton School District, said the district is very appreciative to the businesses for their generous donations. The students and teacher, she said, will beneit from the new equipment. Hermiston woman repeats as long-shot winner It was a family showdown during the 15th annual Thou- sand Yard Shoot in Ione. For the second year in a row, Yvonne LaCoursiere of Hermiston took the grand prize. She hit the target dead center after a inal shoot-out with her brother, Paden LaCoursiere, and father, Pete LaCoursiere. All three LaCoursiere shooters were using Blagg riles. Yvonne was awarded a long-range rile scope and $100 cash. The winner for the open- sight 500 yard target was Jules Martino of Silverton. Martino also received $100. Bill McGovern won the gun rafle, receiving a Tikka Caliber 6.5 Creedmoor, sponsored by Garner’s Sporting Goods in Pendleton. The annual event, formerly known as the TV Shoot, is a fundraiser for kid’s prizes at THANK YOU Kudos to polite Pendleton Last weekend, a group of friends and I traveled to Pendleton for the CROC bicycling event. While we’d passed through Pendleton, we had never spent any time in the city, but are sorry that is has taken so long for us to experience the town’s hospitality. It was a genuinely wonderful experi- ence. You should be proud of such a welcoming, friendly community. I also want to offer my sincere thanks to all those driving cars and trucks who we encountered during the CROC. When we ride around our home in Seattle it feels more like combat, avoiding road-raging drivers who have little concept of sharing the road. That was not our experience in Pendleton — drivers were polite, giving us room and passing, often with a friendly wave. Thank you for a wonderful experience and we look forward to visiting again next year.
