I Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, May 22, 2002 - THREE lone UCC auction and barbeque news Suppose you decided that being an auctioneer was pretty cool and you’d like to learn to be one. How in this day and age do people leant this skill that involves the auctioneer “chanting” or rapidly speaking? Well, one way would be to fill your mouth with m arbles and practice your chanting. Then, you’d need to take some marbles out of your mouth and practice some more. Then, take some more out and keep practicing that chant. Continuing this way, when you’ve lost all of your marbles, you’re an auctioneer! All kidding aside, what exactly does this information have to do with the upcoming 40th-annual lone Auction and Barbecue on Saturday, June 1? Local man, Ken Greib, of course. The lone church’s own Ken G reib is this y e a r’s auctioneer. Ken is a familiar face around local auctions as he volunteers his time to charity groups. Scouts, Cattle Association state sales, and to the Morrow County Fair 4-H auction. Ken has been “chanting “ since high school. At various cattle sales, and from 4-H and FFA exposure, Ken decided while a teenager that this was something he wanted to learn. With no radio on the tractor or combine, he spent his time im itating and practicing his auctioneering skills. He even spent some time at the Missouri Auction School in Kansas City, learning all the tricks of the trade and gaining valuable “re a l” practice. Ken can envision his love of auctioneering some day being more than just a hobby, but not any time soon. Between Ken’s roles as a rancher and a father, he’s not yet quite up for all the Dryland Crop Tour/Social set for June 7 traveling an auctioneer needs to do. Many familiar types of items will be auctioned off at this year’s auction but there are always new and unique items as well. There is a lovely donated cream-colored afghan with many different types o f stitches used, including popcorn and cable. There is a Griswold waffle maker, four ladder back chairs, bicycles, exercise equipment, tools, two Captain chairs, an old secretary’s chair from the Hardman Odd fellow’s Hall, an radio case bought in 1921, various gift certificates from businesses for goods and services, lawn mowers, a tabletop barbeque set, iron headboards, a hardwood chest of drawers, an armoire, ariel spray certificates, golf and bowling games, ski lift tickets, Adams cam perships, dessert and dinner certificates, and a trampoline fratne, to name just a few of the items that will be passing by Ken’s gavel. At approximately 2 p.m., this year’s beautiful quilt made by a group of dedicated church women will go to the highest bidder. Everyone is invited to the lone W illow s G range Hall, Saturday, June 1, for the auction and barbeque. The country store opens at 10 a.m. when the bell rings, the auction starts at 10:30 a.m. and the pit barbecue begins at 12:30 p.m. The barbeque prices are $6 for adults, $3 for 6-12-year- olds and preschoolers are free. Ken says that he uses many opportunities to practice, so if you are ever following a vehicle and you hear an auction going on, it’s not the radio, it’s just Ken taking a bid from the first power pole and then a higher bid from the next pole, and so on down the road he goes. The M orrow County Dryland Crop Tour/Social will be held on Friday, June 7 at 3 p.m. The tour will begin at a large-plot variety trial on Ken Nelson’s Farm on Lloyd Road-1/4 mile north of where it intersects with Baseline. Additional in-the-field demonstrations, which will occur at Starvation Farms, will focus on weed control options for chemical fallow, phosphorus and zinc fertilization of wheat, and small plot variety trials. Oregon State U niversity Extension Agent, Larry Lutcher, says the county's fourth consecutive year of drought has impacted yield potentials severely. “This will be clearly demonstrated at field trials that will be visited during the tour,” said Lutcher. He also says it is “a good year for evaluating varietal differences in drought tolerance and w ater use efficiency.” The crop tour will conclude with a social get- together sponsored by the Morrow County Wheat League and the Oregon Wheat League Office. Social activities, which begin at about 6 p.m., will take place at Virginia Grieb’s place and include a steak dinner, refreshments, and music by the Front Porch Band. Sherman Reese, secretary-treasurer of the National Association of Wheat Growers and past president of the Oregon Wheat League, will be on hand to present information about the Farm Bill. Dave Paul, Dave Beardon, and Mick Rice from the Risk Management Agency will attend the event as well. They will have an opportunity to view crop conditions in the county and will be available to answ er questions. There is no cost to participate in this event, but participants can assist with dinner by bringing either a salad (last name A-L) or dessert (last name M-Z). RSVP to the Morrow County Extension Office (676- 9642) by Wednesday, May 29. ------------------- is__s__ :___ :__.< f * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Open house & belated birthday party for Oral Wright * % % M % % * * The event will be hosted by * Lynne Wright Haguewood and her children.

May 15, 2002 The Heppner Chamber welcomes new m em bers:. Heppner United M ethodist Church and Columbia River Title Company/Pam Neal. Neal has been busy painting and will soon be open for business next to Heppner Hardware. Stop in to welcome her to Heppner. Faces come and go, and the community will truly miss Craig Strobel and Monica Hunter for many, many reasons. Craig dove right in and chaired not only the St. Pat’s Parade, but the Fair and Rodeo parade as well, while Monica announced the events. Their support in volunteer activities will leave a big gap for the community, but their Heppner “song” will linger on. Heppner’s loss is Joseph’s gain! So, is there a kind soul who would like to chair the Morrow County Fair and Oregon Trail Pro-Rodeo parade this year? Please step forward, soon! “ Forget Rome Italy...Roam Eastern Oregon!” Stop by the Cham ber o f Commerce to pick up your “hot off the press” free copy of the Eastern Oregon Visitor's Guide. The 32-page magazine contains suggestions of four to seven day itineraries to be explored in the eight-county region. The guide allows visitors and locals to get a feel for the diversity of tourism opportunities we have in eastern Oregon. It's also a great opportunity for local businesses to familiarize their staff on sharing “the Columbia River Plateau ...from the river to the mountains", with visitors. That would be Boardman to Heppner and on to Umatilla County with side trips offered along the way. Next week the Chamber luncheon program will be an upfront on the new elementary school project. If you left your heart in the old high school, then grab that camera and take some final shots to preserve history before a new era begins. THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: “An optimist may see a light where there is none, but why must the pessimist always run to blow it out?" Michel de Saint- Pierre.
