IEF celebrates 10 years The lone Education Foundation will celebrate a 10-year milestone at its din ner on Saturday, Sept. 22, at 7 p.m. The lone Education Foundation’s 10th anniver sary celebrates the forma tion of the lone School Dis trict and the lone Education Foundation. The lone community rallied together over the past 10 years, compiling an impressive list of accom plishments. For many years, the foundation has funded a teaching position at the lone school. Countless field trips and class projects have been funded through founda tion grants. The foundation spearheaded the construc tion of the founder’s wall and bell plaza. The foundation has been supported g en er ously by the community and alum ni throughout the United States. Gifts of real estate and monetary donations have allowed the foundation to grow an endowment fund that will allow the lone Education Foundation to continue sup porting the lone school for generations to come. The lone Education Foundation dinner has been a fixture in the life of the lone community for the past 10 years. The first din ner was catered by local women, and the prime rib was prepared by Kessler’s Catering. The original menu of crab and shrimp has been replaced by Captain Mar vin Padberg and his band o f merry men who enjoy fishing for salmon along the Oregon Coast. Captain Padberg then exchanges his fishing lure for a barbecue apron and, with the help of even more merry men, prepares the salmon with special rubs and sauces, barbecuing the fish to per fection. Today, the prime rib is locally prepared by Tom Gates, Mark Patton and a highly-skilled barbecue crew consisting o f many volunteers and T raeger barbecues. The quality of the meal is always excep tional. This year, the founda tion will be holding the annual dinner and auction on the evening of Saturday, September 22, at the lone American Legion Hall. The evening will begin with a social at 6 p.m. with dinner to follow at 7 p.m. The dinner menu con sists of prime rib, salmon, baked potato, bread, salad and dessert. The meal in cludes two beverages. Din ner ticket prices are $25 for adults and $10 for children ages seven to 12. Children six and under are free. Tick ets may be purchased in ad vance at the lone branch of the Bank of Eastern Oregon or by calling 541 422-7435. Tickets will also be sold at the door.

City vs. county In the August 29 issue of the Gazette-Times, com missioner Rea, who happens to also serve on the Mor row County Health District board, requested that future MCHD meetings scheduled in Lexington be held at the town’s new fire station. Why? There has been a new town hall for over a year and they did not use that. It was even set up for group and public meetings. Why should the citizens of Lexington pay for the extra heat, lights, water, and the set-up and clean-up of county meetings when, in all reality, they cannot even afford the new building? Where has the board been meeting? Has it been at the Morrow County School District office, the county road department office? Both of these are funded by county dollars, not individual town money. Is this not the Morrow County Health District? I realize that money is short everywhere, but city money versus county money...
