Kudos to road crew
I’d like to compliment the Morrow County road
crew for their work on the Blake Ranch road. They have
recently been working on this road and are addressing
the underlying problems rather than just grading over the
surface. Good job guys!

$200,000 too much
for fire hall
Voters of Lexington,
We are being asked to vote for a 20-year,
$200,000 Fire Hall Bond. We do need a new fire hall, but
not a $200,000 one.
If we get bonded for $200,000, our bonding
capacity is used up; so if the need to replace one of our
trucks comes about, how do we afford it? One of our
trucks is about 30 years old now; put another 20 years
on them; will we be able to keep them running? Will we
be able to find the needed parts?
Please keep in mind that you are already paying
$2 per thousand to support the fire department. These
taxes do not include what it will cost to heat and light
the new fire hall.
Why not build a building for two trucks and have
some ability to replace a truck? A town of about 200
people and a fire department for said town really don’t
need four fire trucks or a building to hold that many.
Do your own math; see what it will cost you.

Lexington

sewing challenges
awards ceremony
The quilt and cloth­
ing departments of the Mor­
row County Fair will fea­
ture two new and inspiring
challenges next year.
The Quilt Depart­
ment challenge requires
entrants to make the “Shoo-
Fly Doll Quilt” from the
book, “The Civil War Sew­
ing Circle,” by Kathleen
Tracy. M artingale Pub­
lishers is permitting 100
copies of the instructions
and historical data to be
printed for personal use of
the quilters.
Very few rules are
in place for this challenge,
allowing plenty o f room for
individuality and creativity
in each quilt. Any combina­
tion of fabrics and embel­
lishments are encouraged,
but each quilt must be made
following the directions in
the printed instructions. The
finished doll quilt is 22X27
inches and is designed with
a simple and richly histori­
cal block.
Call Peggy Fish-
bum at 676-5246 or Cyn­
thia Wenberg at 676-5036
for a copy of the printed
instructions and require­
ments.
The Clothing De­
partment challenge is simi­
lar to the quilt challenge.
In this event, the Vogue
basic design V8598 blouse
pattern is the only require­
ment.
The Vogue pattern
is available in town at Sew

at the Governors’ Gold Awards in Portland recently. -C on­

Jillian Smalley traveled to Portland on October 11
to receive the Shriver Greatness Award at the Governors’
Gold Awards at the Oregon Convention Center. Smalley
and Sgt. Joel Goodwin from the Corvallis Police Depart­
ment began the evening by lighting the Olympic Torch.
Smalley, a Team USA athlete who participated
in the Torch Run in Athens, Greece last summer at the
Special Olympics World Games, is the granddaughter of
John and Pat Edmundson of Heppner. She was presented
her award by former Governor Ted Kulongoski. This is
the second Shriver Greatness Award Smalley has received.
She received her first award in 2009 for her participation
as a cross-country skier on Team USA, competing in the
Special Olympics World Winter Games in Idaho.
The Governors’ Gold Awards event is presented
in partnership with, and for the benefit of, Special Olym­
pics Oregon, a unique organization serving thousands
o f individuals with intellectual disabilities throughout
Oregon. They are guided by the theme “Training for
Life.”
