challenges next year.
The Quilt Depart

entrants to make the “Shoo-

copies o f 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 of room for
individuality and creativity
in each quilt. Any combina

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-

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.
John Edwards,
Lexington

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

Oregon. They are guided by the theme “Training for
Life.”
