Around About By Justine Weatherfora The Artifactory certainly drew many hundreds of persons to the Morrow County Fairgrounds last Saturday. During the hours from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. much selling, buying, visiting, snackir.g and pleasant "Just locking around" took place. The producers of this annual craft extravagania, the AAUW members, are to be commended for their community service and for their good management of this annual event which seems to have grown In popularity each year. Those who enjoyed the display of oil and watercolor paintings by county artists were thrilled by the evidence of such great talent. Those who joined the Heppner Garden Gub members In creating Christmas greens decorations really worked at putting together very attractive wreaths, swags and table centerpieces during the busy five hours of the annual happening. I have heard two minor complaints, really suggestions, about the Artifactory. First, someone should see that the fairground gates are opened early on the first Saturday next December. Some folks had trouble getting in and out of the parking crowd. Second, it seems that people had read that the Heppner merchants were giving out some discount coupons but they didn't know where or from whom to get these coupons. One lady said she thought that it would be a great idea to pass out the coupons at the doors. On Dec. 2, a full busload of county persons left Heppner at 7:45 a.m. for a look around the Prentnn Wine Cellar at Patterson, Wash. After learning some about wine production and storage and tasting a few samples of the finished product, the happy group went to a restaurant on Kennewick, Washington's waterfront for lunch. Marlene Currln reports they had six luncheon menus to choose from, and they really enjoyed the old-English decor the heavy furniture, and brocades and tapestries, That afternoon was devoted to Individualized shopping and looking around at Columbia Center until the bus started for Heppner at 4:45 p.m. It was about 7 p.m. when the tired tourists returned home. What a fun day! Last week on Tuesday and Thursday there was rather weak response to the Heppner High School Drama Club's play "Gift of Murder!" It is very hard to fit various non athletic activities into the busy school schedule, and as most weekends are already taken, non-athletic activities must be set on weekdays. Choosing an appropriate play for high school production, which will delight viewers of all ages and all backgrounds, is a most difficult task. There have been many excellent productions offered at the high school here through the years. Last week's play demanded lots of work from its casts, crew and director. It was too bad that the story Itself was not too generally appealing. I understand that Jane Rawlins will be directing three one-act plays on January 11 and 12 (again Tuesday and Thursday evenings.) These plays will be put on by the members of her drama class. She feels that the stories they tell will be generally appealing. It is hoped that play-night attendance will go up. High spots of this week were the Monday, Dec. 6 concert by classical guitarist Jim Greeninger, called the foremost guitarist of the Northwest. Proceeds from the concert went to aid the Heppner Elementary and Junior High bands. Tomorrow (Friday) will be a big annual day for the County Livestock Growers and the Cow Belles with fine programs and outstanding speakers set for the afternoon and evening at the Elks Lodge. Retired teacher Jack Loyd reads many periodicals, and has noted that very little space is devoted to poetry or rhymes. He passed along some lines written by Kathryn Thome Bowsher in the most recent issue of "Life's Cameos." The title of this short selection Is "But Didn't." Do you ever think at close of day Of kindly words you meant to say Do you ever think when day is done Of errands kind you could have run Do you ever think at daytime's leave Of flowers gay you meant to give Do you ever think when skies are red Of hungry mouths you could have fed Do you ever think at dawn .of night Of letters kind you meant to write But didn't? But didn't? But didn't? But didn't? But didn't? Friend, do you think at life's set of sun You'll think of deeds you could have done But didn't? Everytime I pass along Main Street in Heppner now.I feel so delighted with what must be about the prettiest town Christmas tree ever. It is so good that Columbia Basin, the city, the Ernie Garrisons and the Merchants Committee insisted that this gorgeous blue spruce be put In place. And bless the Boy Scouts for helping raise some of the necessary funds for replacing street light hookups with their firewood raffle. The colored lights really lift many Christmas spirits. All of these people could have felt "Why bother, why make this effort?" - but they didn't. mmmmmmmmd ChrfctmOS 1 Good Thru Dec, 11 Chicago Cutlery fey Blocks ; iuwe oeis r Open Stock 300ff Ret Price P 12 r f a eU" h Monday audience spellbound by gutiarist's talent The Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, December t, 1982 THREE By JUSTINE WKATIIRRFOKD The audience seemed spell bound by the lovely tones Jim Greeninger's masterful mind and strong, graceful fingers brought from the beautiful guitar he had built. He spoke in a most friendly manner to the "intimate group" who at tended his Monday night con cert of classical guitar selec tions at Heppner's Junior High School. This artist encouraged questions during the pauses in his three part program which featured a wonderful variety of selections that were written directly for the guitar or had been transposed from music for other instruments. Green inger had composed some parts of the numbers he pre sented. In response to a question about his Instrument, Green inger told of the many unusual types of wood he built Into its various parts. He put more than 3(10 hours of craftsman ship into its construction and said "I have not finished It yet." He fashioned his guitar after the guitars of Herman Hauser. Greeninger, an Oregon boy from a farm near Hubbard in the Willamette Valley, joked about the great amount of time needed for tuning and re-tuning guitars. He said that he began his guitar studies at the age of 12. He made his debut in Carnegie Recital Hall in New York City. Critics have praised his mature musicianship, his elegance of style and warmth of tone as he has traveled all over America giving recitals and concerts. He is now an experienced teacher ,of master guitar classes. As an Oregonian it hurt him to speak about the very inade quate funding our state offers art and artists. He stated "Oregon is near the bottom in its support of the art commun ity, U rates well below Idaho, even and 1 do hope I can help improve this sad situation." His plan for helping is in the formation of a recording ar rangement which will offer musicians an honest way to market their music.
