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.

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. Those
people who indicated they
would like to contribute to his
plan for promotion of Oregon
musicians may write to: Jim
Greeninger. 640 N.E. 18th,
