A6 News wallowa.com Grande Ronde Symphony announces new directors The Grande Ronde Stu- dent Symphony tuned up with a new musical director, well- known Eastern Oregon Uni- versity instructor and concert- master Rosanne Skinner. That director is just one of a list of new directors this year. The Grande Ronde Sym- phony Association got a new president, Patty Sandoz and the varsity orchestra got a new musical director, assis- tant conductor of the Oregon Music Festival, Zeke Fetrow. Skinner, a graduate of Willamette University with a Bachelor of Music degree in violin performance, per- formed as part of Willamette University’s Waller Quar- tet. She has taught privately, played with the Oregon East Symphony in Pendleton and Grande Ronde Symphony under Leandro Espinosa and was concert master when Lisa Robertson left. She collabo- rated with Espinosa to teach advanced violin at EOU and is now the of¿cial faculty there. The new additions consti- tute a restructuring program intended to “enhance the quality of life in our region,” Sandoz said. “We are initiat- ing a rebuilding of our youth programs to bring the joy of playing music on stringed in- struments to more students.” The annual fundraiser din- ner for the symphony “An Eve- ning with Jane Austen” will be held Oct. 2 from 6 to 9 p.m. in La Grande at Presbyterian Friendship Center. For more in- formation or tickets call Sandoz at 541-963-7595 or email psan- doz@eou.edu. Past and present players from Wallowa County include Elizabeth Powers, Michael Maslach, Emma Survis, Heath- er Tyreman, Lauren Guthridge, Patricia Cason, Stuart McAlis- ter, Christopher Stauffer, Anne Taylor, Wendy Stauffer and Anna Stipe. The Grande Ronde Sym- phony is the longest continu- ously operating orchestra east of the Cascades. Overwhelmed? Is the weight of day to day stress getting too much to bear?

September 30, 2015 Wallowa County Chieftain Three youths survive spectacular car wreck 100 YEARS AGO Sept. 30, 1915 Freight business has been so heavy on the Wallowa county branch for the last months that it would seem to be time for a daily freight train. The train now comes in three times a week, and nearly every night it is many hours late. Scheduled to ar- rive at Enterprise before 6 p.m., it shows up anywhere between 8 o’clock and morn- ing. As the law requires that the crew have a rest before returning to work, the train goes back late also, making its time very irregular both ways. Wallowa county is rep- resented at the state fair in Salem this week by a display everybody can well be proud of. Using the Joseph precinct exhibit at the county fair as a basis, J. Ross Leslie gathered together from all displays in the pavilion a wonderfully varied and excellent show- ing of grains, grasses, vege- tables and fruits. He watched everything brought into the building, and when he saw an article better than that dis- played in the Joseph section, he at once arranged to take it as a substitute for what he al- ready had. Thus he improved and strengthened his exhibit greatly, until it seemed there could be no weak spot in it. From Imnaha, Promise and Grouse he gathered fruits and vegetables not found in the Joseph precinct, but still be- T HE B OOKLOFT AND S KYLIGHT G ALLERY Finding books is our specialty 541.426.3351 • 107 E.

The relay race at the fair went again to Clifford Wade, with his younger brother, Barton, riding Charles Tip- pett’s horses, second and Elmer Warnock, third. With his many good horses and his skill at riding and changing, Clifford Wade is in a class by himself in the relay. 70 YEARS AGO Sept. 27, 1945 Three youths brushed el- bows with death Sunday af- ternoon about 1 o’clock when their car plunged off the road along the Grande Ronde riv- er about seven miles below Troy and somersaulted sev- eral times down a 70-foot embankment. In the car were Delbert Fordice, driver, Har- ry Stein, and Miss Jessie Nel- son of La Grande. All were brought to the Enterprise hos- pital where they were found to be suffering from shock, numerous cuts and bruises, and other injuries. A 24-ounce baby boy was born to Mr. and Mrs. Don Hough of La Grande Sept. OUT OF THE PAST Compiled by Elliott Seyler 21. This was the smallest child ever born in the Grande Ronde hospital. The baby was kept in an incubator and fed with an eye dropper but lived only 26 hours. Grave- side services were held at the IOOF cemetery in La Grande Monday morning. Charles B. Daugherty, who came to Wallowa county in 1894, passed away Friday at a La Grande hospital after a short illness. The remains were brought to Enterprise Saturday and funeral services were conducted in the Booth chapel Sunday afternoon, with interment in the Prairie creek cemetery.

D. Peal was announced late last week by Keith Wilson, local attor- ney. Wilson, who has been in charge of administering the estate, stated that the land was sold to KBL Land Company for an undisclosed amount. Involved in the sale was approximately 1,500 acres of land which lies to the east of Wallowa lake, encom- passing, generally, the south half of the Wallowa Lake moraine, including the land from the lake edge across the moraine and taking in some farm land on the east side of the hill. A number of person have inquired during the past few weeks about the prog- ress being made on the high voltage power line which will be constructed through Wallowa county, connecting Hells Canyon Dam with the Walla Walla area. Richard M. Gosney, local manager for PP&L, stated this week that the survey for the line has been in progress for several weeks. This survey, to date, has been for the purpose of trying to establish a route, Gosney indicated. He further indicated that the line from Hells Canyon to Enterprise will be constructed by Idaho Power Company and from Enterprise to Walla Walla by Paci¿c Power. 25 YEARS AGO Sept. 27, 1990 The Wallowa County Court last week adopted a resolution requesting that Congress realign the Hells Canyon wilderness boundary in an attempt to reopen roads closed this spring by the For- est Service. The court stated that due to a mapping error in the 1984 Hells Canyon National Recreation Area Wilderness Act, that a road in existence since the 1930s was included within the boundary, referring to what is known as the Lord Flat road, which provides access to an 80,000 acre plateau adjacent to the rim of Hells Canyon. The Forest Service also closed the road to Lookout Mountain last spring when a timber sale survey deter- mined that the road fell on the wrong side of the hydro- logic divide that draws the wilderness boundary. Don Kipp, a retired school administrator now living in the Salem area, be- gan his new job as interim superintendent of the Joseph School District Wednesday. Kipp has been hired by the school board to act as su- perintendent until the end of the 1990-91 school year, and to help the board search for a permanent successor for Mike McCulloch, who stepped down from the su- perintendent’s position this month because of illness.
