OW F plans auction, barbecue
Businesses and individuals
with items to donate for this
event are asked to contact the
OW GL office at 276-7330. Items
may be given as full donations,
partial donations (donor re
ceives a floor price and OWF
receives anything over the
floor), or consignments (OWF
retams a percentage of the sales
price).
" I encourage all local busi
nesses and farmers to support
the auction,” said event chair
man Ben Holdman of Pendle
ton. "Farm ing is the life
blood of the Columbia Basin
and much of our farm produc
tivity is tied to research con
ducted at the experiment sta
tions. Without first-rate equip
ment and scientists at the sta
tions, we fall behind our inter
national competition. Farmers
can also expect to find good
deals on equipment and sup
plies there, with the proceeds
going to a cause which benefits
The Oregon Wheat Founda
tion (OWF), in cooperation
with the Oregon Wheat Com
ission and the Oregon Wheat
Growers League (OW GL), has
announced a benefit auction
with proceeds dedicated to
equipment purchases at the
Columbia Basin Agricultural
Research Center (CBARC). The
auction is scheduled for Satur
day, Aug. 24, at 9 a.m., across
the Tubbs Ranch Road from the
CBARC Experiment Station
outside of Pendleton.
The foundation is asking
growers, agricultural suppliers,
equipment dealers and other
supporters to donate equip
ment or hours on new equip
ment, fuel, agricultural chemi
cals, farm supplies and cash to
this effort. The OWF is a tax-
exempt charity 501(c)(3) foun
dation, so all donations are
deductible on donors' federal
tax returns, said an O W G L
news release.
us all.”
Questions may be directed to
the Oregon Wheat Commission
at (503) 229-6665, or to the
O W G L at 276-7330.
Additionally, the foundation
invites all who would like to
support the auction to a barbe
cue dinner the night before,
beginning at 6 p.m. on Friday,
Aug. 23 at the CBARC research
station. Mario's Basque Barbe
cue is catering the event.
Tom Winn, Oregon Wheat
Commission administrator, in
dicated that the dinner is a
good way for people to preview
equipm ent that has been
donated. It is also a way for
citizens in the local communi
ty who have an interest in sup
porting the experiment station,
but who don't have a direct
need for the equipment or ser
vices in the auction, to donate
through ticket purchases.
The dinner costs $15 per per
son, with $4 of that figure fed
erally deductible as a contribu
tion to the OWF. The caterer
has also offered to donated a
portion of his costs to the foun
dation cause. Cash donations
to the auction fund will also be
accepted at the door. Advance
tickets may be purchased
through the O W G L office and
a limited quantity will be avail
able at the dinner itself. Those
planning to attend are asked to
RSVP to Suzie in the O W G L
office, 276-7330, so that an ac
curate dinner count may be
obtained.
The experiment station is
northeast of Pendleton on
Highway 11. From Pendleton,
proceed toward Athena ap
proximately six miles and turn
right onto Tubbs Ranch Road;
it is the next intersection after
the Helix cutoff.

Park closures unacceptable
To the Editor:
If we allow 63 of our state
parks to close on Sept. 3, we
will be cutting off public access
to waterfalls, beaches and
forests. This is unacceptable.
Oregonians are proud of our
state and with good reason. We
decided a long time ago that
our beaches and scenic areas
would remain public domain.
Reducing access to our natural
places attacks the one thing
about Oregon that most often
inspires us.
In an era when each suc
cessive economic crisis is more
pressing than the last, will we
ever regain public access to our
state's natural places once we
lose it?
What can we do right now to
make a difference? Contact our
legislative representatives,
volunteer time for park clean
up, or make a tax-deductible
contribution to our favorite
park. We must stand up for
what is important and fight to
keep our parks open. The
Oregon State Park Trust (503)
362-1905 has additional infor
mation.
Sincerely,
(s) Teresa Spillman
