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.

Chamber Chatter
By Claudia Hughes, Exec. Dir. 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.
