lexington Grange meets
By Delpha Jones
The Lexington Grange met
Monday evening, with master
Clarence Buchanan presiding
The evening started with a
potluck dinner at 6:30.
The Legislative Committee
chairman, Barton Clark, gave a
report concerning House Bill
3565 and Senate Bill 805, the
educational act for the 21st cen­
tury. These require certain local
governments to impose fees on
exempt real property of frater­
nal organizations to pay frater­
nal organization properties'
share of costs of emergency ser­
vices, said Clark. This would
require a city, county, mu­
nicipal corporation, or rural fire
protection district to impose a
fee for emergency services,
such as fire-fighting, law en­
forcement, and emergency
medical services, on the real
property of all fraternal
organizations, Clark said. The
Oregon State Grange urges
voters to try and stop this bill,
according to Clark.
The chaplain's report was
given and the G.W.A. Parma
Grange will meet April 29, at
the Spray Grange Hall.
This being Grange Week, lec­
turer Jean Nelson gave a short
history of the organization of
the Grange, which was intend­
ed to improve the lives of
Shorty Peck fair and rodeo
parade grand marshal
Congratulations to Shorty
Peck for being named Grand
Marshal of the 1995 Morrow
County Fair and Oregon Trail
Pro Rodeo. "We are honored to
have this distinguished
gentleman representing us this
year," said a spokesperson for
the board.
The OTPR Committee would
like to welcome aboard Sherree
Mahoney as a new member.
The Morrow County Rodeo
will make some changes this
year. The team roping will be
two complete go rounds and
will be held in slack on Sunday,
at 9 a.m. The top 10 teams will
compete in the performance
Sunday afternoon at 1:15 p.m.
Contestants will be able to
enter two times and it will be
a USTRC #8 roping. Un­
numbered ropers must contact
Ken Bailey at 676-5110, or John
Moyer at 676-9844 before enter­
ing, and they will be assigned
a number. The fees are $40 per
man. The rest of the events will
remain the same.
The last two weekends have
been very successful for many
area rodeo contestants. Jerry
Gentry of Heppner placed
third, and Judy Currin-
Pederson of Hermiston placed
first at the Prineville Pro Rodeo
on April 7-8. Annie Hisler won
the average in the senior
cases alone cost BPA nearly
$5,000.
Airway marker lights are
placed on the transmission pole
structures as a warning to low
flying military aircraft operating
in the area. BPA is concerned
about the possibility of a
catastrophic aircraft accident
due to the lack of sufficient air­
way marker lights. When van­
dals or thieves destroy vital
safety lights or manage to put
a line out of service, it's not
"harm less" horseplay, said
BPA. BPA has notified the
Federal Aviation Administra­
tion, the Federal Bureau of In­
vestigation, Boardman Navy
Security and the Morrow
County Sheriff about the pro­
blem, and security patrols have
been increased in the area.
In an effort to discourage
destructive and potentially
dangerous vandalism infrac­
tions, BPA created the Crime
W itness Program, an ag­
gressive,
large
scale,
neighborhood watch-style
category at the VGBRA Barrel
Daze in Walla Walla, WA.
while Kelly Currin and Janice
Davis both placed in the open
barrels. Lisanne Currin placed
sixth in the average at the
WBRA Barrel Racing Derby in
Olympia, WA. over Easter
weekend.
There have been a lot of peo­
ple asking about using the new
rodeo facilities, and what the
rules are. Members have put
together a list of information
that will help answer every­
one's questions.
Rules and regulations of the
OTPR arena as approved by the
OTPR Committee: The arena is
open to anyone to use unless
reserved. Make reservations
through the fair office. It is on
a first come, first serve basis.
Reserved usage fees are $10 per
hour up to four hours; $50 for
useage over four hours, or per
day; $250 for rodeo/roughstock
event; light usage is $5 per
hour; and stall usage is $5 per

preparation must be done by
authorized personnel only; all
equipment, barrels, poles, etc.
must be removed, and gates
shut after use. Absolutely no
unauthorized
motorized
vehicles are allowed in the

Geri G rieb attends program
Geri Grieb, Lexington, was
selected to attend the National
Association of Wheat Growers
(NAWG) Foundation's Leader­
ship Development Program,
sponsored by Ciba Crop Pro­
tection. The four day program,
held March 29 through April 1,
was designed to improve
NAWG members' effective­
ness, communication and
organization.
"The Ciba Leadership Pro­
gram encourages women to
participate, especially in the
wheat industry, on behalf of
their farms and their families,"
says Judy Olson, National
Association of Wheat Growers
Foundation secretary-treasurer.
"W e're learning media, com­
munication and lobbying skills,
what a grass roots organization
is all about."
The conference offered small-
group workshops where at­
tendees sharpened their skills
for group organization, effec­
tive lobbying, leadership and
media relations.
"The NAWG leadership par­
ticipants are strengthening
skills that are necessary in to­
day's competitive agriculture
m a rk e ts," says Emilio J.
Bontempo, president, Ciba
Agricultural Group. "Through
the Leadership Development
Program, NAWG will continue
to effectively tell its story to the
public."
Grieb took home new skills
she can put to work right away
in telling the NAWG story, said
a Ciba news release. The
NAWG Foundation supports
the wheat industry by pro­
viding educational research
and informational programs.

Vandals target BPA marker lights
Vandals are repeatedly
shooting out airway marker
lights on the Bonneville Power
Administration's Ione-Board-
man 115,000-volt transmission
line, according to a Bonneville
Power Administration news
release. The vandalism could
potentially contribute to a
catastrophic aircraft accident,
said the release. Vandalism on
this line has already cost BPA,
and subsequently the rate­
payers, over $20,000 with at
least 25 separate shooting in­
cidences since 1986.
The Ione-Boardman trans­
mission line runs in a north-
south direction through the
middle of Morrow County. The
vandalism is focused on the
towers along the eastern boun­
dary of the naval weapons
training facility, the Boardman
Bombing Range. The exact
times and dates vandalism oc­
curred are not known, but the
most recent incidents were just
before July 22 last year and
January 26 and 27. These three
Americans. Oliver Hudson
Kelley is credited with formal­
ly establishing the Grange; in
the 1850's, Kelley organized the
Benton County Agriculture
Society, in which neighboring
farmers shared information
about agricultural production,
and later, the promotion of new
farm implements.
A short history of the Lex­
ington Grange was also
presented. Lexington Grange
#726 was organized May 27,
1929, at the Lexington school
house. The Grange was assist­
ed in its organization by the
Rhea Creek Grange, which is
now part of #726. Mr. Gekeler,
a state deputy, was present to
organize the group. The first of­
ficers were: master Joe Devine,
overseer Harry Dinges, lecturer
Emma Peck, treasurer O.W.
Cutsforth, and secretary R.B.
Wilcox. The present building
was erected about 1935 by
mostly volunteer labor, and
was dedicated August 10,1935.
Some of the past masters
were S.J. Devine, Harvey
Miller, C.J.D. Bauman, Frank
Saling, Kenneth Smouse, Nor­
man Nelson, Alvin Wagon-
blast, Carl Marquardt, Joe Yo-
com, Cecil Jones, Delpha Jones,
Lyle Peck, Barbara Cutsforth,
Ed Hunt, and present master
Clarence Buchanan.

program.
"In the long-term, the Crime
Witness Program should not
only reduce vandalism, it
should keep costs and rates
down," says Robert Windus,
security manager at BPA. "In
1994 alone, more than three
dozen incidents were reported.
Five led to arrests. Three others
involving illegal dumping
resulted in the mess being
cleaned up at the dumpers' ex­
pense, not the ratepayers'.
Seven other cases involving
trespassing, poaching and il­
legal dumping on non-BPA
property were referred to ap­
propriate law enforcement
agencies. The program is
already paying off."
Anyone with information
leading to the vandals is en­
couraged to call BPA's Crime

could be worth up to $1,000
