Betty Feves Memorial
Gallery season fi nale
features student show
Blue Mountain Commu-
nity College invites the public
to view and celebrate the cre-
ativity of its students.
The opening reception for
the annual BMCC Student Art
Show is Thursday, May 12,
12:30-2 p.m. The free event
is at the Betty Feves Memo-
rial Gallery in Pioneer Hall on
BMCC’s Pendleton campus,
2411 N.W. Carden Ave.
The family-friendly recep-
tion includes food, drinks
and an opportunity to vote
for people’s choice awards.
The exhibit continues through
June 2. Regular gallery hours
are Monday through Thurs-
day, 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
A nonprofi t exhibit space,
the gallery’s namesake, Betty
Feves, moved to Pendleton in
1945 and began exhibiting her
work in 1952. She became an
internationally known ceramic
artist and helped mold the
work of many artists.
The Arts Council of Pend-
leton raised money for a com-
missioned piece by Feves for
the Vert Auditorium. She died
before it was complete, result-
ing in utilizing the funds to
create a gallery in her memory.

Benefi t run/walk
supports Worstell
scholarship fund
A scholarship fund has
been established in the mem-
ory of Marissa Worstell. A 2011
Hermiston High School grad-
uate, she was a member of the
HHS cross country and track
teams. Worstell died Nov. 3,
2020, at the age of 27.
To help raise money for
the fund, a benefi t run/walk is
scheduled for Saturday, May
14, 9 a.m. The registration fee
is $25 with 100% of the money
raised going to the scholar-
ship fund. It will begin/end at
the front entrance at Hermiston
High School, 600 S. First St.
The event coincides with a cele-
bration of life — on what would
have been Worstell’s 29th birth-
day — at 11 a.m. in the HHS
Commons.
The Marissa Worstell Path
to Change Memorial Scholar-
ship fund is set up through the
Hermiston Education Founda-
tion. It will be open to HHS stu-
dents who show academic or
vocational potential and due to
their economic circumstances
are not able to pay their total col-
lege costs.
As a HHS senior, Worstell
received the Altrusa Young Cit-
izens Award during the Herm-
iston Chamber of Commerce
Distinguished Citizens Ban-
quet. In addition to academic
excellence, Worstell was active
in student government, was a
member of the Key Club, was
crowned the 2010 homecoming
queen and participated in many
community service activities.
