Joseph senior wins aviation
scholarship at pilots dinner
By Christian Ambroson
Wallowa County Chieftain
The Wallowa County
Pilots Association cele-
brated its sixth annual ban-
quet dinner on Sunday,
January 20, at the historic
Wallowa Lake Lodge. It
was a night of collaborative
celebration with the North-
eastern Oregon Aviation
Foundation.
For these dedicated avia-
tors, there is so much more
to this banquet than sharing
their passion for fl ight. The
night also honors the stu-
dents, educators and pilots
involved in the Founda-
tion’s mission to advance
aviation education in Wal-
lowa County schools.
Joseph Charter School
senior Kana Oliver was
awarded with not one, but
two scholarship awards for
her efforts in promoting

Steven Locke, the Foun-
dation’s education liai-
son explained the goal is to
“promote STEM education
through the lens of aviation,
promote
post-secondary
education and career oppor-
tunities, and community
revitalization and develop-
ment in Wallowa County

Joseph Charter School
began its partnership with
the Foundation in 2016,
providing a unique oppor-

introduction pilot train-

Locke was not among the
“most important aspects of
the program.” Rather, he
explained that the Foun-
dation and Joseph teacher
Toby Kohen preferred to
emphasize “organization of
the program, documenting
progress, public relations,
and fundraising.”
Oliver herself became
interested in much more
than just becoming a pilot.
Locke recalls her fi rst fl ight
and noted that she really
came into herself as “she

site posts some words from
the 2016-2017 class. Swed-
ish exchange student, Anna
Ytander, said, “I’m taking
this class because we don’t
have this in Sweden so it
would be a fun opportu-
nity to try something new.”
Tyler Homan joined “to
learn more about the sci-
ence of fl ight and how avi-
ation works.” Each of the
students seem to recognize
and appreciate the unique
value that the program
brings to Wallowa County.

The Wallowa Valley
Music Alliance presents
another edition of Tunesmith
Night, a monthly showcase
of original music.
The Saturday, Feb. 9
show features songwriters
Bart Budwig, Heidi Muller
and Mike Mallory. Venue is
Sugar Time Bakery, located
in the Burnaugh Building on
North River Street and pro-
vides the perfect atmosphere
for our listening audience.
Bart Budwig has become
a valued asset to the music
scene in Wallowa County,
and his reputation goes far
beyond our local commu-
nity. This quote from Amer-
ican Standard Time paints a
good likeness: “Sometimes
when Bart sings, I forget what
we’re talking about. I’m sure
he knows though. I trust him.
He sounds like John Prine,
plays like Hoyt Axton, and
looks like well...Bart Bud-
wig. He’s a cosmic country
lawn gnome. He’s cherubic,
cheery, and an old soul. Songs
spring from the dreams of his
noon day naps, and punch the
keys of his typewriter above
the OK Theater in Enterprise,
Oregon. When words won’t
take, he calls ‘em in with a
bugle of his trumpet, or a
strum of soothing guitar.”
Heidi Muller is an
award-winning songwriter,
guitarist and mountain dulci-
mer player from Joseph. She
is known for her song “Good
Road” that has been the theme
song of Northwest Public
Radio’s Inland Folk show
since 1989. A part of the Seat-
tle music scene of the ‘80’s
and 90’s, she toured nation-
ally and was a Kerrville New
Folk fi nalist. She later moved
back east and met her part-
ner Bob Webb from West Vir-
ginia, where she worked as an
artist-in-residence and music
instructor until they moved
to Wallowa County in 2012.
Heidi has recorded nine CDs,
including four with Bob. She
writes songs of place and
story songs, and sometimes
peers into the life of cats,
ticks, and the night sky. For

song is the thing. Mallory has
been playing music profes-
sionally since age 15. That
would be since, 1968. Early
on, he discovered the songs
of Bob Dylan, Townes Van
Zandt, Mississippi John Hurt
and realized the songs were
what spoke to him. He is com-
fortable strapping on his Tele-
caster and turning up to 11
or fi nger picking his acoustic
trying to imitate Mississippi
John. “That is the beauty of
the players my age, we did not
realize there was a division
between acoustic and electric
music,” says Mallory, who is
a member of the La Grande
alt-country/Americana band
The Wasteland Kings, along
with son Kris Mallory who is
lead vocalist and main song-
writer for the group. This is
Mallory’s fi fth appearance at
Tunesmith Night.
Tunesmith Night is pre-
sented in a round-robin for-
mat, with each musician
playing a song, then the
next taking a turn, creating
an interesting and varied
performance. Admission is
$10 at the door or by season
pass. Doors open at 6pm,
music at 7pm, all ages wel-
come. Sugar Time will have
the kitchen open for soups
and sandwiches. Bring your
