Inland N orthw est Musicians will hold their fourth annual dinner/auction on Saturday, June 5 at the Country Club in Pendleton. The theme for the dinner is Fire and Ice and was chosen for decorations and color. M any m usic co m p o sitio n s are them selves fire and ice.

Som e title s o f m usical compositions have names like the Firebird Suite that in name fit the theme. “Music is em otional and has the ab ility to create goose bumps,” says chairman of the decorating committee, Sue Friese. “Music elicits em otion when we hear a rousing rendition of Sousa m arches and m usic stirs pictures in our minds or makes us want to dance or sing. Sometimes we get a melody in our heads that stays for days and we call that the pow er o f music w hich is Fire and Ice. Working on the power of music to build emotions, the committee chose this theme fo r the 2004 d in n er/ auction,” says Friese. D onations for auction items are requested. Area businesses are asked to call the symphony office at (541) 966-6649 for auction donations.

Businesses will be credited with the donation in the printed program and will be identified and displayed with the auction item. Many item s w ill be p laced on silent suction. Some items will be by voice auction by auctioneer Sandy Gross of Hermiston. Sandy is a fun auctioneer, says chairman of the d in n e r/a u ctio n committee, Phil Hector of Hermiston. “He describes items and carefully seeks bids and encourages friendly co m p etitio n betw een bidders. He gently nudges the bidders yet creates a relaxed atmosphere and will establish a fun evening for the b en efit o f Inland Northwest Musicians.” Committee member Steven Knight of Banner Bank in Hermiston says that he likes to be involved with INM p ro jects and is dedicating energy toward the auction. He will seek donations in the Hermiston area. He sees value with an increasing presence of INM in the communities that the INM serv es w ith performances and support. To support K n ig h t’s position, conductor R. Lee F riese says, “ Pride in com m unity is generated when a performance is well- attended in a community and the audience experiences first-hand the Fire and Ice of music.” W illow C reek Symphony and Singers that Therefore representatives of m any co m m u n ities are asked to support the auction with donations.

The first day will be the 7-9 years olds. If they catch the pig and do not chose to keep it they will need to put it back in its cage and will receive $25 instead. The same rules go the next day when the age limit will be 10-13. There will be two pigs each day which are being donated by Joe. Pat and Mark Kintz. A cow boy church service will be held Sunday at 9 a m. in the rodeo arena grandstand and the final performance will begin at 1 p.m. I E x citem en t and pride were the primary class assignments at high schools in Eugene and Vancouver after NASA named its latest astronaut class Thursday, May 6. James P. Dutton Jr., a E ugene n ative and a g rad u ate o f E u g e n e ’s Sheldon High School; and D orothy “ D o ttie ” M. M etcalf-L indenburger, a science teacher at Hudson’s Bay H igh School in Vancouver, are among 11 a stro n au t can d id ates selected by the space agency. They were introduced at Space Day ceremonies at the N ational A ir and Space M u seu m 's U dvar-H azy Center in Chantilly, Va. Dutton, 35, an Air Force major and a test pilot for the FIA-22 Raptor jet fig h ter, is statio n ed in E d w ard s, C alif. He graduated from Sheldon in 1987 before going to the U.S. Air Force Academy, w here he receiv ed top honors. He also has a m a ste r’s d eg ree in aeronautics and astronautics from the U n iv ersity o f Washington. When asked about his response on learning that he had been accepted into the astro n au t program , Dutton said on NASA TV that he “ was pretty overwhelmed after wanting to do this since I was in grade school. To hear those words was amazing.” Debi B rooks, a longtime staff member at Sheldon High where Dutton played baseball and football, said “We’re all very excited for Jim. He always told us he was going to be an astronaut, and it seemed so lofty a goal for a young student - but he’s done it. We’re very proud of him.” Dutton credits Linda A gue, a librarian at Cal Young M iddle School in Eugene, for steering him toward a space career when she helped him w ith a seventh grade class assignment about careers. “ I helped Jim m y look up how to co n tact NASA when he wanted to do a p ro ject about astronauts,” Ague said. “I was amazed that he thought to call me last week and told me the news. I just showed him how to find out about a career as an astronaut. He did all the rest.” His parents. Jim and Nita button of Tigard, said that their son always had posters of airplanes and spacecraft on his bedroom w alls w hen he was a y oungster. “ We were jumping up and down when he told us the news,” Nita Dutton said. “It’s something he’s worked so hard for.” D utton flew air patrols over northern Iraq in the 1990s before becoming a test pilot for the Air Force’s newest fighter. He is married to another Sheldon graduate, Erin Ruhoff Dutton. They have three boys, ages three, six, and eight months. M e t c a l f - Lindenburger is one of three educators from a field of more than 1.000 applicants who were selected for the new astronaut class. At 29, she is the youngest of the astronaut candidates. The Colorado native found out that she been selected as an astronaut candidate when she received a phone call while teaching her th ird -p erio d earth science class. “ It was completely unreal,” she said Thursday on NASA TV. “I was shaking and jumping up and down. Of course, the students I wanted to know what’s wrong with me. And then when I got o ff the phone, they got to share in my ex citem en t and enthusiasm.” Part of the broadcast was aired throughout the Hudson’s Bay building. In her sixth period freshman earth science class - where she is known as “Mrs. M-L” - the students remained quiet until breaking into applause at the end of the segment. “It’s weird thinking that our teacher is going to go into space,” said student Cameron Irwin. “You don't think of astronauts as normal people, but when it’s your teacher. . . she is normal.” M e t c a l f - L in d en b u rg er, w ho has dream ed o f being an astronaut since the seventh grade, found out about the opportunity to apply for the NASA program w hile searching the space agency’s Web site to answ er a stu d en t’s question about how a stro n au ts use the bathroom in space. The position for an educator astro n au t ju s t had been posted, so she jumped at the chance. Kathy E verid g e, Hudson’s Bay principal said M etc a lf-L in d b u rg e r has proposed to keep in touch with the school and perhaps set up some collaborative projects with NASA. “We have a great team of science teachers who work well together,” Everidge said. “I d o n 't see them losing touch.” In addition to her teaching duties, Metcalf- L in denburger also is an assistant coach for the high school's cross country team. A ru n n er h e rself, she recen tly co m p leted the Boston Marathon. M e t c a l f - Lindenburger is a graduate of Fort Collins High School in C o lo rad o and has a geology degree from Whitman College in Walla Walla, Wash. She is married to Jason M etcalf- L in d en b u rg er, a social stu d ies teach er at McLoughlin Middle School in Vancouver. Dutton and Metcalf- Lindenburger will report to the Johnson Space Center in H ouston this sum m er to begin learning about the systems aboard the space shuttles and international space station. If successful in their training, they and the other candidates may be scheduled for a space flight by 2009. Jason Begay of The Oregonian contributed to this report.
