EIGHT- Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, June 20,2012 TOUGH BY NATURE -Continued from PAGE ONE hibit at the Jordan Schnitzer of all types. R ugg a g re e s th a t women in the American west have often been over looked, but adds that some, like herself, might prefer it that way. “A lot of women in the west have been ignored. I don’t know that I have,” she says. “I never wanted to be noticed. The less conspicu ous, the better 1 liked it.” Rugg is being noticed now; she is one of 49 wom en from 13 western states who are featured in Lank- er’s work. Lanker worked with a variety of media in cluding pencil and charcoal, oil pastel, egg tempera, plate and stone lithography, engraving and drypoint to create work that echoes the style of Andrew Wyeth and Thomas Hart Benton. In addition to the book, banker's work will also be featured in an upcoming ex Museum of Art at the Uni versity of Oregon. The ex hibit, also titled “Tough by Nature,” will be on display in the Barker Gallery July 1 through September 9. “The subject matter was one that resonates strongly with our constituents, and we anticipate it will do the same with others as the show travels around the U.S,” says Jill Hartz, JSMA executive director and Tough by Nature cu rator. “The artist is local, well known and respected, as was her husband, Brian Lanker, who brought the project to me originally.” The exhibition is ac companied by a major cata log, made possible by the Ford Family Foundation and private support, and is touring under the auspices of Landau Traveling Exhi bitions. For Rugg, life on the Lynda Lanker, Shirley Rugg, 1998, graphite,© Image cour tesy of the artist ranch will continue.. .a life she says she couldn’t imag ine any other way. “I wouldn’t like to live any other life,” she says in Tough by Nature. “ With the life I have now, there’s always something differ ent. You can go down the same road every morning and there’s something dif ferent.” Or, to put it more sim ply, “I’ve been blessed my whole life.” lone gets ready for 4th lone is gearing up for its 2012 edition of the Crui sin' to the Blues 4"' of July celebration.

A Hollywood twist to a country fairytale Two H eppner High School boys, Austin Gui- tierrez and Austin Roberts, noticed recently that some thing was missing from Morrow County Fair and Rodeo Queen Maggie Col lins’ horse trailer. The problem? There was nothing on it. It was plain, drab and ordinary. That, they decided, was not acceptable. A few days before school let out, the boys met with each other, Queen Maggie, and her mother, Jeannie Collins, to discuss what could be done. “I told them some ideas I had, but I wasn’t quite sure what could be done in that small amount of time.” Maggie Collins said. The boys got their heads together and, with the help of HHS TSA advi sor Dave Fowler, created a masterpiece. With careful precision and abundant help from the Collins and Bergstroms, the boys created a trailer Mor row County can be proud of. The knowledge that it was created by teens from the community makes the result even more amazing. Austin Guitierrez and Austin Roberts stand by one of the upgrades they made to the trailer of Morrow County Fair and Rodeo Queen Maggie Collins. The boys saw the need for more flair to the queen’s trailer and took the task on themselves with the support of various community members. -Contributed photo It makes me so very proud and thankful that I live in this community,” said Jeannie Collins. “Knowing that Maggie has made most of her outfits— she helped make her flowers; her belt and serape are all hand made—and now her trailer is Morrow County-made. No one else can boast about that!” M aggie has a w eek off before she starts her parades in earnest for the fair and rodeo season. She travels at the end of June to Coulee, WA to attend Queen University and Bible Camp, sponsored by Jamie and Stan Rauch. She then will attend the Boardman and lone parades on the 4th of July. Maggie also wants to remind everyone that she is selling raffle tickets for half a pig cut and wrapped to raise money for her queen activities. The tickets are $1 each or six for $5. Con tact Maggie or her mom, Jeannie, at 541-676-8037 or by cell at 541-922-7204 to purchase. Drawings for each half will be held Satur day and Sunday during the Morrow County rodeo. COOKS AND BOOKS -Continuedfrom PAGE ONE sional (CPP) and a Certified “It’s crazy.” They spent tim e in places like Cheyenne, WY; Sidney, NE; Tucson, AZ and, o f course, Heppner. His job as chef at Ruggs Ranch brought them here, but Kulon says it was a con scious choice to stay. She was living and working in Savannah, GA, where they intended to move. The cou ple changed plans, choosing rural Eastern Oregon over coastal Georgia. Despite the pun at the beginning o f the article, Kulon doesn’t fool around when it comes to book keeping. She has her lower- level payroll certification through American Payroll Associates and will go for the higher certification in 2013. She is also study ing to become a Certified Professional Bookkeeper (CPB) through the Ameri can Institute of Professional Bookkeepers (A IPB), a Certified Payroll Profes Fraud Exam iner (CFE). That last certification is for forensic accounting. “(It’s to) find money th a t’s m issin g ,” K ulon explains. “Think of what happened at Enron. Those were forensic accountants who went in and found the money trail of what they did.” Among the services Kulon offers are regular, full-charge bookkeeping, payroll, payroll taxes (but not company taxes, since that’s a certification she doesn’t have), and set-up and training on Q uick- Books. When they’re not work ing and the weather is nice, the Kulons can often be seen out on their motor cycles. She says she also hopes to spend time with her two daughters and nine grandkids in Denver and Michigan, including two sets o f tw ins...one from each daughter, delivered back-to-back. Finally, Kulon shares some of her husband’s love of cooking, calling herself, “The baker in the family.” In fact, she had been think ing of attending culinary school when she first met John Kulon. “I never made it,” she says. “1 didn't need to.” Those things don’t de tract from her focus on bookkeeping, though. “I’ve met people, espe cially ranchers’ wives, who have to do all the bookkeep ing, and they don’t have time for other things. I’d like them to farm it out to me,” says Kulon. She also adds that she doesn’t want people to be intimidated by her certifications or the letters behind her name. To her, they represent a com mitment to quality, as well as something she enjoys. “I like bookkeeping; it’s a challenge to me.” DA’s Report Earn While You Learn Program At Community Bank we recognize the importance of education and would like to encourage our student-customers in their academic success.
