received the Echo Good
Neighbor Award. He was
recognized during Echo’s
National Night Out cele-
bration, held Aug. 14. Police

selected based on his ongo-
ing efforts and contributions
in making a difference in his
neighborhood. The awards
certificate indicated Gaunt
seeks to improve the qual-
ity of the community and
doesn’t seek recognition for
his good deeds.

The Umatilla County
Historical Society was
among the recent recipients
of Oregon Cultural Trust
grants.
The historical society,
which runs Heritage Sta-
tion Museum in Pendleton,
received $30,513, to support
“Umatilla Gold.” A long-
term exhibit that will tell the
story of wheat, a vital part
of Umatilla County’s econ-
omy and history, will be on
display from 2019-29. It will
emphasize how wheat plays
a role in the lives of those
living in the county and
around the world.
Created in 2001 by the
Oregon Legislature, the
Oregon Cultural Trust pro-
vides ongoing funding for
arts and culture across the
state. Through the pro-
gram, the state of Oregon
provides a 100 percent tax
credit to inspire cultural giv-
ing. For more information,

AUCTION

enjoyed a week at the fair.
Like all 4-H students, when
the youth livestock auction
rolled around on Saturday
she found it bittersweet.
“It was hard saying
goodbye,” she said.
Jenny said she had heard
“rumblings” that commu-
nity members at the auction
were conspiring to make
sure Maddy’s lamb went
for a little extra, but she
thought that meant $10 per
pound. Instead, the price
just kept rising as more
people realized something
special was happening and
jumped in with bids of their
own, then cheered on other
bidders.
Both Jennie and live-
stock auction superin-
tendent Marie Linnell
described the atmosphere
during the bidding as “elec-
tric.” Linnell said that even
auctioneer Ford Bonney
started choking up as he
continued to take bids.
“It was like electricity
was running through the
air,” Linnell said. “The feel-
ing there was incredible.”
The bidding ended at
$50 per pound, but the fair

also allows “add-ons” from
people who didn’t win an
animal but still want to
contribute to the youth who
raised it. The add-ons came
pouring in, bumping it up
to $78 per pound that day.
First it was adults and busi-
nesses, then other Uma-
tilla County 4-H and FFA
youths started contribut-
ing a portion of their pro-
ceeds. Linnell said support
was still trickling in, but
the 143-pound market lamb
had brought in $23,200
from more than 60 adults/
businesses and 50 youth.
“We always say these
4-H and FFA kids are the
cream of the crop,” Linnell

said.
Henry the lamb went on
to resale, and Maddy said
she is already looking for-
ward to raising another
lamb next year.
“It was fun,” she said.
Meanwhile Jenny said
the money raised from
the sale will help the fam-
ily with medical and travel
expenses, and some will be
put into a college fund for
Maddy.
She said in an email that
the family has “decent”
medical insurance that cov-
ers a majority of Maddy’s
medical bills — one three-
week stay in the hospi-
tal came out to $500,000.

away with the best of show
with his 1968 Chevrolet
Camaro RS during the Cool
Rides Car Show.
The event, in its 23rd year,
revved up during Hermiston
Funfest weekend. Presented
by the Hermiston Classics
Car Club, the show filled
McKenzie Park with other
winners, including:
Best of show, home built:

But they have high deduct-
ibles to meet each year and
their premiums “skyrock-
eted” once they switched
to coverage that would pay
for more. At the same time,
Maddy’s parents have had
to miss a lot of work.
“We have been life-
flighted twice and ambu-
lanced once from Kadlec to
Seattle Children’s,” Jenny
wrote. “Every time we
travel we have fuel, food,
and hotel costs as she gets
too tired to make a one-day
trip.”
The small community
of Echo has been “great”
about raising money, she
said. . But during lengthy
cancer battles, the fundrais-
ers tend to dry up before
the bills do, so the fam-
ily is extremely grateful to
get such a generous dona-
tion from the community
a year after Maddy’s diag-
nosis. Maddy also said she
wanted to thank everyone.
Without factoring in
Maddy’s lamb, this year’s
youth auction was the sec-
ond highest on record at
$480,750 on 251 lots.
