inner onorson imevoun eer • What: Neighbor to Neighbor Thanksgiving Dinner • When: Noon to1:30 p.m. Thursday • Where: Presbyterian Friendship Center, 1204 Spring St., La Grande • Details:The dinner is free, but a free-will donation is appreciated
By Jeff Petersen Go! staff
For about two decades, Lowell Fuhrman knew where he was going to be on Thanksgiving. He loved preparing the turkeys and putting them in the oven to bake for the Neighbor to Neighbor Thanksgiving Dinner, an annual tradition in La Grande. This year's dinner, sponsored by Neighbor to Neighbor Ministries and local churches, will take place from noon to 1:30 p.m. Thursday at the Presbyterian Friendship Center, 1204 Spring St. The dinner is free. However, a free-will donation is appreciated. The dinner is especially important this year, since it is dedicated to the memory of Fuhrman, who died May 22 at age 80. Lowell and his wife, Donna, longtime members of the First Presbyterian Church, started the dinners. "A bunch of us didn't have any family coming for dinner," Donna said, "and that first year about 50 of us got together in the church basement." Soon, more and more people began showing up and the dinners were movedacrossthestreet to the Presbyterian Friendship Center. "A lot of older people liked having a place to go so they could have a nice meal and wouldn't be alone on the holiday," Donna said."It
filled a big need." Before long, community Christmas and Easter dinners were

added. Up until about five years ago, the Fuhrmans spearheaded the effort. Even when he was not feeling well, toward the end, Lowell kept pushing himself to make sure the dinner was held. "He would be very ill, but kept pushing himself to do it and a couple of times ended up in the emergency room," Donna said. Then one year, with Lowell being ill, the dinner wasn't held and people said they missed it tremendously. At that point, Dale and Ginny Mammen and David and Zee Koza took over organizing the dinners. "For many years, the Fuhrmans were the driving force behind the dinners, until their health became a problem," Ginny Mammen said. 'This is the first dinner we have had since Lowell passed away." Giving back to the community
was important to Lowell, Donna sald. "It's just something he and I always did since we got married iin 1954l,n Donna said."He came from a very loving Christian family. That's what they did, so we followed suit. It always made him feel good to make someone happy. He always had a smile on his face." Lowell enjoyed the camaraderie of the crew preparing the meals. He liked to be involved, and felt compassion toward others. "He was just a very loving, caring, giving person," Donna said. "He felt bad when people didn't have enoughtoeator a placeto go on the holidays. "I miss him terribly," said Donna, who started going together with Lowell when he was a senior and she was a freshman at Ramona High School in Ramona, Calif. "A lot of people miss him. They miss
his smiling face. He always wanted to do thingsforpeople." Every year, the dinner attracts Fuhfman about 250 people.As anybody who has prepared a Thanksgiving meal knows, that is a big crowd. Usually, the Neighbor to Neighbor crew starts with 100 pounds of turkey, three gallons of fiuit salad, 12 dozen deviled eggs and 20 pumpkin pies. It's a massive undertaking that serves not only people in the community but those possibly stranded here over the holidays. "A number of people come for the fellowship as well as the food," Mammen said. Donations help make the meal possible. And that goes well beyond what is gathered from free-will donations on the day of the event. Any donations over and above expenses will be given to Neighbor to Neighbor Ministries for its ongoing programs. Checks should be made out to Neighbor to Neighbor with"Thanksgiving dinner" noted on the memo line and may be sent to the Mammens at 405 Balsa St., La Grande 97850.

A selection of works from the university's permanent collection is now on display at Nightingale Gallery on the Eastern Oregon University campus. The show, which serves as an introduction to a diverse collection that is rarely exhibited together, opened Friday in the gallery in Loso Hall. "The EOU collection represents decadesofeclectic acquisition and will present gallery-goers an array of works in a variety of media by a broad selection ofhighly skilled artists, "said Cory Peeke,director of Nightingale Gallery. A rich assortment of prints will be on display by some of the biggest names in art history. They include works by Pablo Picasso, Thomas Hart Benton, Paul Cezanne, Robert Indiana and
Alexander Calder, among others. The coll ection alsofeatures a strong selection of works by artists with well-known ties to the region. Pieces by George Nightingale, Betty Feves, Kat Galloway, Ben Francy, Don Gray, Marvin Saltzman and Doug Kaigler will be on view. Kaigler's bronze "Today's Special, David's Dilemma Blackbird Pie" is the university's most recent acquisition. In addition to these familiar names, there will also be work by some lesser known but equally talented artists. Many of these pieces were createdby up-and-coming former EOU students, including paintings and drawings by Alec Schramek, Devin Farrand, James Long and Kevin Layton, as well as sculpture by Lauren Hull and Emily Patterson. Much of the collection is works on paper. Many of these pieces have been part of a two-year concentratedeffortby thegallery to reframe and conserve them. This effort was undertaken in ordertoprepare them for exhibit and preserve them for future generations.

The students from Eastern Oregon University disclose the magical moment of improvisation through the jazz ensemble concert at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Groth Recital Hall. Admission is free. The band consists of nine musicians with six different instruments: vocals, trumpet, piano, bass and drums, and two guitars and saxophones. "Jazz is an unique musical product of the United States, which was created by African American as well as white people," said Matt Cooper, who has been teaching music at EOU for 23 years. "Fun thing about jazz is that you don't have to follow the exact notes like classic music and you can create your own rhythms,"
Cooper added. Cooper's creativity turns original songs into new pieces that are suitablefor a particular band to
play. "Knowing the type of voice or instrument the band has is important when you arrange the songs," he said. The play list of jazz and Latin standardsIrom the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s include "Manha de Carnaval," the theme from the Brazilian movie "Black Orpheus," by bossa nova composer Luis Bonfa, "Cry Me a River" by Julie

the 1970s, "Happy Feet" by R&B saxophonist Hank Crawford, and "Oh Gee" by trombonist Matthew
Gee. Cooper highlights the beautiful and rarely heard Latin song "Anos Dourados," meaning
"Golden Years" in Spanish, composed by Antonio Carlos Jobim and arranged by Tom Bergeron, a visiting artistfrom Western Oregon University. Bergeron added a flavor of sensational Brazilian music based on his abundant experiences and profoundknowledge ofBraziland its music. Tyler Chrisman, the trumpet player, named afun, upbeat song "Sister Sadie," by composer/ pianist Horace Silver, as his favorite. Chrisman defines jazz music as an individual's Iree expression of musicality. 'There are no limitations to how you can express yourself. You can break the rules of music and
get away with it," he said. Tiffany Grimes, the tenor saxophonist, also shared her passion toward the music. "Jazz music, like all other music, is my natural way to happiness. No matter what kind of day I am having, if I pick up one of my
instruments, it makes it all right with the world," she said.
