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of crab and shrimp has been
replaced by Captain Mar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.
Following the dinner,
there will be a lively auc
tion of old school memo
rabilia and items donated
by community members.
For the 10lh year in a row,
Bill Mullins is donating
an all-expense-paid (three
days, two nights) fishing
trip along the scenic Snake
River.
“The Board of Direc
tors of the lone Education
Foundation hopes you can
join us on September 22
for a wonderful meal and
a lively auction in support
of a worthy cause,” says a
board representative.

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...
