Choosing La Grande’s new library director

La Grande has what appears to be a solid group of finalists for the position of library director. The hiring decision will be made by City Manager Robert Strope, who has been assisted in the process by a selection committee.

The four finalists are Ken Watson of La Grande, Hollis Helmeci of El Dorado, Kansas, Terri Washburn of Chewelah, Wash., and Geraldine De Rooy of Vancouver, Wash. All four recently gave presentations to the selection committee, which planned to then narrow the field to three.

A special flag and the beauty of fall

A piece of my American flag hangs high in my Hawthorne tree. Over time it has pretty well shredded the ends of the flag from the nearby pole, but the emblem of our freedom still flies in the face of the wind as the “Star-Spangled Banner” words and tune come to mind.

I have tried to lower the tall flagpole that was my husband’s pride in ordering, installing under the night-light and enjoying the continuous flying of our colors, but I have been unable to bring it down in order to remove the flag.

The new wonder years

Sometimes I’m lucky to not have a full-time, live-in life partner/adviser/therapist.

About now she’d be after me to get a silicone brain implant.

Yes, the 50s are a challenging time of life. Just to get through the lumpy butt years, you need industrial strength Preparation H, FDA-approved pharmaceuticals and other preservatives.

 

LHS programs help foster student success

La Grande School District Superintendent Larry Glaze recently reported that La Grande High School students are doing exceptionally well at obtaining scholarships and gaining acceptance to colleges and universities. He attributed much of the success to the efforts of the LHS Career Center, the ASPIRE program and the counseling office. The community should be proud that its graduating seniors are doing so well.
