Grange week April 18-24 By Delpha Jones All throughout the United States this week people are celebrating Grange week. This marks the 31st anniversary of Grange week which is celebrated April 18-24 by 4,000 grange communities. The Grange was founded in 1867 the first fraternal farm organization in the country. There are now over 300,000 members in 37 states. ‘‘C elebrations, special displays, and open meetings to let non-members know that we are proud of the Grange, its ac complishments, contributions to improve the quality of life and to challenge members to re-dedicate themselves in continuing to do their part in meeting county, state and national issues for a better A m erica,” said a G range spokesperson. Lexington Grange opened its Grange week with a booster night Monday, April 19 and the presen tation of 50-year members with golden sheath certificates and pins. Chamber Chatter By Claudia Hughes, chamber manager ‘‘God put me on earth to ac complish a certain number of things, right now I am so far behind; I will never die.” Then again, if you’re an ‘A’ type, who knows. Do you ever have those fragmented weeks? This week meant hosting 50 visiting 8th graders at the ranch and sharing our business with them. There are some wonderful students. This is the 13th year for the exchange. Enjoy visiting with them as they pass through your businesses and show them what small towns are all about. Speaking of small towns, Cy cle Oregon is at hand again. A meeting in The Dalles last Tues day moved planning right up to the front burner. A Cycle Oregon team will be in Heppner Monday April 26 to look at the meal site and to begin making concrete plans. The 2000 plus cyclists will be in Heppner for lunch and lone for dinner and breakfast. Our en tire county will possibly be in volved on this endeavor. Anyone up for participating in ‘‘an all night lunch making project, Mon day, Sept. 13?” The date for the cyclists is Tuesday, September 14 (the week of the Pendleton Round-Up). Next week chamber will be honoring secretaries. All bosses are encouraged to bring their secretaries to lunch. Guest speaker will be Denny Newell, GEODC. Thought for the week: ‘‘You know you’re getting older when your happy hour is a nap.” club goes international By Anne Morter The lone High School Interna tional Club went international over spring break last month, jet ting to London for a whirlwind tour of the city. Eight students, M ichelle Kandle, Erika Bergstrom, Crystal Minster, Tan- ja Anderson, Nicole Hudson, Jim Logan, Jason Proudfoot and Brian Holtz plus two adult leaders, Kelly and Nancy Swarat left Portland on March 20 and returned March 25 after spending three glorious days in London. Kelly Swarat, social studies teacher at lone, founded the In ternational Club as a way of pro viding students with a look at other cultures, races and types of living. The London idea was bom last October and students have been raising funds as a group and individually since then to make it a reality. Fund raisers included the usual car wash and bake sale and the unusual, cleaning of cat tle trailers. In between, there was bingo night and jobs were held down by many of the travelers. Of the $1,000 package cost, ap proximately half was raised by the group and the other half was left up to the individual. The group traveled with about 30 students from Indiana and Il linois. As part of their package, a tour director stayed with them for the entire time. The package also included at least one guided tour, this one on a bus. Some of the sights they saw were Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Parliament, Tower Bridge, Lon don Bridge and the British Museum. They also had the op portunity to take a walking tour and to use the “ Underground” or subway. Despite all this sightsee ing, Swarat said that the students had free time for shopping, in vestigating street vendors and to find the Hard Rock Cafe. Irrigon man convicted of sex crimes Jose Luis Lomas-Torres, 37, Irrigon, was convicted of several counts of Rape, Child Sexual Abuse and Unlawful Penetration on Thursday, April 8 according to Morrow County District At torney Earl Woods, Jr. Lomas-Torres was convicted of two counts of first degree rape, one count of first degree attemp ted sodomy, three counts of first degree sexual abuse and two counts of unlawful sexual DISH A » * 0 penetration against his one-year old daughter and six-year old niece between Sept, and December, 1992. He was found not guilty on one count of rape and two additional charges of sex ual abuse. Lomas-Torres is lodged at Franklin County awaiting senten cing. Woods said that Lomas- Torres could receive up to 100 years in jail if the sentences run consecutively. Dr. Rebecca Cannon (Becky Fulleton) Is pleased to announce the opening of her Chiropractic Clinic at 913 N. First (Zimmer Building) Hermiston, Oregon Hours Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. to 12 & 2 to 5:30 p.m. 567-0944 ^CHEVROLET trip!*» tllK The group stayed at a tourist hotel where each room had a small ‘’w ater c lo se t” or bathroom. According to Swarat, many of the tourist hotels in Europe only have one bathroom per floor so they felt lucky to have private bathrooms, no mat ter how small. Swarat says the trip went smoothly and the group “ had a blast.” Erika Bergstrom com mented that she really enjoyed the trip. “ I loved it. It was beautiful there.” Erika’s experience was that much more meaningful, since she almost ended up staying home. At 4:30 p.m. the day before they were due to depart, Erika, who was already in Portland, discovered she had left her tickets in her room at home. In the excitement to pack, she “ overlooked” her tickets. After a few frantic phone calls, the tickets and Erika were reunited in plenty of time. Erika was im pressed with the friendliness of the people she met there, especially since she said they had been warned that the people might treat Americans coldly. She said that people were very in terested in where they were from. One person asked if Oregon was near Chicago and another guess ed it was close to Florida. Michelle Kandle, a junior, also said the trip was a great ex perience. “ I’d take it again and I’d tell anyone else to take it,” says Michelle. She was quite im pressed with the cleanliness of such a big city. She said that she saw people sweeping the streets almost constantly, and even bet ween the cars. Swarat envisions a trip like this, although not a lw a y s to I on- don, every other year. He tells the students that this is the best time for them to travel especial ly since students are offered special rates on travel packages.
