A spokesperson for
the South Morrow County
S c h o la rsh ip T ru st has
announced a recent gift from
the Bob Cam pbell estate.
"Mr. Campbell bequeathed
the trust fund a substantial
amount that frees us from
concern about fundraising,
allowing us to focus on our
essential purpose of granting
s c h o la rs h ip s ,”
the
spokesperson explains.
R o b ert
“B ob”
Campbell died at the age of
83 over a year ago. A native
of the Willow Creek Valley,
he was raised on the family
ranch on Social Ridge, near
Lexington. When Campbell
retired from his work with
cattle and farming, he moved
into the home of his parents
in Lexington, remaining with
them as a caregiver in their
later years and continued to
live in the Lexington home.
Don
C am p b ell
remembers his brother Bob
as a "tender heart” who took
great delight and interest in
the nieces and nephews. He
especially enjoyed sharing
his know ledge in various
school subjects with them.
T his shy star a th lete in
L ex in g to n H igh School
attended one semester on a
sc h o la rsh ip to P acific
U n iv e rsity and now his
appreciation of education
and interest in young people
will continue to be reflected
in the South M orrow
scholarship program.
The South Morrow
County Scholarship Trust
was established in 1993 to
fund sc h o la rsh ip s for
Heppner and lone graduates.
T hough the tru st now
provides four scholarships
per year, expectations are
that it will more fully replace
the Troedson Scholarship
F und w hen that one is
d isco n tin u ed in the year
2023. S c h o la rsh ip s are
awarded from the interest
earned on the principal in the
account and the Campbell
bequest will mean larger
amounts and faster growth
of these available funds. The
present Board of Directors
- Bill Reitm ann, Barbara
Hayes, Del LaRue, Sharon
Harrison, Missy Cutsforth,
C arri G rieb, and M artha
Munkers - "are available to
sp eak to in d iv id u a ls or
groups about the scholarship
program and how a person
can invest money, at a tax
saving, in the future of our
y o u th ,”
say s
the
spokesperson.
Applications for this
y e a r ’s s c h o la rsh ip s for
additional training or study
after high school, from both
funds, will become available
on M arch 1 at the high
schools and at the Bank of
E a stern
O regon.
C ontributions to the trust
will be accepted at South
Morrow County Trust, PO
Box 367, lone, OR 97843.

The D esert A rts
Council’s annual evening of
d in in g and th e a tre is
Saturday, March 4, 2006 at

C en ter. The D e ll’A rte

Based on an award
winning, true-account book,
“ In the L and o f the
Grasshopper Song” tells the
sto ry o f M ary E llic o tt
A rnold and M abel Reed,
who, in 1908, set out from
the East Coast to be “field
m a tro n s” fo r the K aruk
Tribe of Northern California.
They were the only white
women in the Indian Country
of the Klamath and Salmon
rivers and left after their two
y ears o f serv ice w ith
p ro fo u n d a ffe ctio n and
respect for the people they
had lived among.
Adapted by Lauren
Wilson from the book by the
same name, “In the Land of
the G ra ssh o p p e r S o n g ”
re c o rd s frie n d sh ip s and
quarrels, celebrations and
disasters. Arnold and Reed
traveled by horseback and by
foot, by dugout canoe and
swinging bridge. They acted
as te a c h e rs, d o c to rs,
preachers, legal advisers and
m ediators. They learned
about love and honor, death
and c o u ra g e, and w ere
forever changed by their
experience.
“ ’G ra s s h o p p e r’
takes the au d ien ce on a
jo u rn e y , a jo u rn e y that
includes the conflict between
c u ltu re s ,” said D ire c to r
Michael Fields, Dell’Arte’s
producing artistic director.
"A journey that is not always
easy, but is inspiring, and
always highly entertaining.
It’s a production unlike most
any o th er you w ill find,
co m b in in g a w o n d erfu l
story, the high theatricality of
the Dell’Arte style, and great
o rig in al songs w ith live
music.”
