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.

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.

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.
