lone Booster
Club holds
meeting
The lone Booster Club met at
Beecher’s Cafe Thursday, Nov.
13. It was reported that Marlene
Gray donated the land under the
state championship sign on the
east end of town to the city. The
city plans to landscape around the
base of each sign.
The first phase of the work on
the bleachers by the football field
is complete. They were repaired
and painted under the supervision
o f shop teacher Robin Graff.
Marc Orem, the high school shop
classes, Jenny Sullivan, Nathan
Rietmann, Nikki McElligott and
Camie Bumght volunteered their
time to do the work. The next
phase of bleacher repair will in
clude a wind break and handrails.
Pettyjohn’s Builders’ Supply
gave a 10 percent discount to the
club on lumber purchased.
The club made $963.52 on the
steak feed money maker during
the Echo game. A refund of $205
was received for the sports sched
ule posters.
Betty Gray of Beecher’s Cafe
donated all the hamburgers, buns,
salad and condiments to the fall
hamburger membership drive.
The middle school girls’ vol
leyball team, under the direction
of coach Barb Collin, earned all
but $26.18 for new uniforms.
Club members voted to pay the
balance. The club also voted to
reimburse parents for the cost of
the crowns and sashes for home
coming. A $500 donation will be
made to the weightlifting pro
gram each year until the equip
ment is updated.
Athletic director Dean Robin
son reported that the pole vault
does not meet new safety stan
dards. Athletes will have to use
helmets and new safety guards
will have to be installed. Pole
vaulting at the junior high level
has been eliminated.
Robinson has been busy updat
ing the basketball schedule. The
printed schedule for varsity
games is accurate, but there have
been problems scheduling JV
games because not many schools
have teams.
Coach Dennis Stefani noted
that many fam ilies are hard
pressed to pay all the expenses
involved in taking sports. Not
only must students pay to play,
but they also have uniform and
equipment expenses. He asked for
help in organizing a sponsor list
for coaches to turn to when stu
dents need to earn money to play.
It was agreed students could work
an eight hour day for $50 to earn
money. Jim Swanson is in charge
of organizing the list.
Duane and Linda Neiffer do
nated 25 pounds of hamburger to
the club. A spaghetti feed is
planned for Friday, Dec. 5 dur
ing the Pilot Rock game. Dinner
will include spaghetti, salad and
French bread. Cost will be $5 per
plate; $20 for families; and $2.50
small serving size.
It was suggested the club have
a plaque made to honor the 1997
girls’ state championship track
team. The pl|que will include a
picture of the team, with coach
Del LaRue’s and the team mem
bers’ names engraved on it.
It was noted the lone schools
received a third place overall state
athletic ranking for 1A schools
for the 1996-97 school year.
The next meeting of the lone
Booster Club will be Thursday,
Dec. 11 at Beecher’s Cafe.
As some people are already
finding out, some varieties of
grass
seed
and
alfalfa
recommended
for
new
Conservation Reserve Program
(CRP) contracts are hard to find,
according to Dave Pranger,
Morrow County Weed Control
District.
This situation may lead some
people to purchase seed from
unfamiliar dealers.
Some
landowners in Morrow County
may recall that this very situation
lead to seed being used for CRP
when it first started and later
discovered that the seed was
contaminated
with
yellow
starthistle, said Pranger.
In order to avoid such problems
with new seedings, landowners
should do several things to
protect themselves Pranger
advises. First, have samples of
seed taken before seeding and
have them tested. There are
specific rules regarding sampling
so make sure the samples are
taken correctly.
Tests on
germination, purity, and presence
of noxious weed seed should be
run just prior to seeding
Secondly, save all labels.
invoices and receipts. That way
if a problem does arise it can be
investigated
for
possible
violations. It will also help
identify the lot the seed came
from and any other grower that
may have used the same seed.
Finally, deal with an Oregon
seed dealer if at all possible
State seed laws vary slightly on
noxious weed tolerances. If you
must deal with an out of state
dealer, specify in writing that the
seed must meet Oregon seed law
standards.
For questions or more
information, call the Morrow
County Weed Control office at
989-9502.

free advisory testing of drinking

Ask yourself...
• Do you often gamble until your last
dollar is gone?
• Do you ever gamble to escape worry?
• Have you ever lied to your family
or friends to hide the extent of
your gambling?
• Have you felt remorse after gambling?
• Are you reluctant to use “gambling
money” for normal expenditures?
If you’re nodding your head, you could
have a gambling problem.
Problem gambling is a treatable illness
&> effective local treatment is available.
You’re not alone.
