They were speaking as part of the Empowerment Project at HAVEN from Domestic and Sexual Violence in The Dalles, an initiative to address such violence in the community. The Dalles Mayor Rich Mays, pictured at far left, then read an official proclamation formally establishing February as Teen Dating Violence Action Month. Mark B. Gibson photo On Strike The Next Door names two as Philanthropists of the Year This sign painted on an outside wall of the building at 207 W. 3rd St. downtown The Dalles, some 85 miles from Portland, is a historical remnant of what the Oregon Encyclopedia says was the “third lon- gest newspaper strike in the United States.” The strike, from Nov. 10, 1959, to Oct. 1, 1964, involved three Portland dailies, the Oregonian, Oregon Journal and Portland Reporter. Former reporter Tim Marsh is seeking information about the buildings history at the time of the strike: email him at wild- catville@gmail.com. “I’m particularly interested in what business was located in the building in the late 1950s and early 1960s,” he said. “I hope the sign stays and the building and is not painted over.” Tim Marsh photo Phil and Judy Jensen of Hood River have been named The Next Door’s 2019 Bonnie Benton Philanthropists of the Year. The couple was recognized and thanked by staff and fel- low supporters earlier this month at the organization’s annual Donor Appreciation event held at Columbia Center for the Arts. The Jensens have been friends and supporters of The Next Door since 2010, when they provided an important bridge loan toward the pur- chase of their office building on the Heights, according to a Next Door press release. “Without this generous loan from Phil and Judy, it would’ve been much more costly to purchase our permanent home in Hood River and better serve our Gorge community,” said Janet Hamada, executive director of The Next Door. To say thank you, the Jensens were presented Phil Jensen, left, with The Next Door’s Executive Director Janet Hamada. Jensen and his wife, Judy, were named 2019 Bonnie Benton Philanthropists of the Year.

Oops! All but one, that is! Figure out which petal on each flower needs to be plucked so that the numbers on the petals add up to the center number. It’s a problem that has the agriculture world buzzing! Are you interested in bees and insects? Then you might want to become an entomologist. They study insects and are working hard to find a solution to the problem of disappearing bees. Bees are disappearing in large numbers. Scientists have discovered that tiny mites attack 3 Our plants and crops need bees to pollenate and produce seeds. Scientists and beekeepers are all working hard to find solutions. Standards Link: Life Science: Students know ways in which organisms interact and depend on one another in an ecosystem. How many bees can you find hidden in this box? 3 6 Everyone should! When honeybees travel from blossom to blossom, they also spread pollen. This makes it possible for a plant to produce seeds or fruits. Bees play an important role in agriculture, helping in the production of about one-third of the foods we eat. While scientists are working hard to learn how to stop colony collapse disorder, beekeepers are starting more hives to help bees survive. The queen bee lays eggs in the cells near the middle of the honeycomb. Standards Link: Science: Students know that animals progress through life cycles; life-cycle details are different for different organisms. 8 6 3 32 9 2 7 6 28 6 5 2 2 1.

The household bee rolls the nectar arond in her mouth for a while, and then puts them into an empty cell. 4. In the honey cell, the water in the nectar evaporates and becames thick, sugary honee. 5. The cell is then covered with waxx and the honey is stores until it are needed.

A honeycomb is a large sheet made up of six- sided wax boxes called cells. There are thousands of these cells in one hive. The little cells are used as both nurseries for young bees and storage for honey and pollen. 16 3 some hives. Diseases and pesticide poisoning also cause hives to empty. Entomologists call this colony collapse disorder. 4 3 3 2 Are you an eagle-eyed reader? Read the honey-making steps below and circle the eleven errors you find.
