Haines 190J ~ Haines, Baker County, Oregon THE MOST TRADITIONAL DESSERT Enjoying Snow Cones on the Fourth By Gina Perkins According to the American Pie Council, pie came to America with the first English settlers. The colonists cooked their pies in long narrow pans referring to them as "coffins." The early pie crusts were not meant for eating, but only to hold the filling during baking. Apparently during the Amer ican Revolution, in addition to rejecting the British monarchy and aristocracy, over throwing the authority of Great Britain, and founding the United States of America, colonists also rejected the the term 'coffyn' and began referring to it as 'crust.1 Pie has since become to be considered "the most traditional American dessert." Over 20 pies were entered in the Pie on the Fourth of July contest sponsored by this newspaper in Haines. Pie bakers of all ages heated up their kitchens and brought their creations to be judged. Janet Spriet's pie - a German Chocolate creation - was chosen by both judges as the top entry. Spriet lives on Pocahontas Road and was very happy about winning the beautiful hand crafted end table gener ously donated by Wes Prouty of Durkee Creek Woodworking. "I've been baking pies for a lot of years and love to do if," she said. There's a pretty good chance you've tasted one or two of her pies as she used to bake them for the Inland Cafe.

Marsh won a gift certificate to Heels and Spurs Salon in Haines. Sheila Holman earned third and fourth place honors with her Black Bottom Ba nana Cream and Pumpkin Apple pies; she won a pie funnel and pie server from BELLA. Fifth place went to Evelyne Fisher of Haines who has several decades of pie baking experience, made a chocolate cream pie. Fisher received a gift bag of lo tion and a candle as a prize from the Sycamore Tree. Honorable mention went to three young ladies who decided to make two pies to gether and entered the adult competition in stead of the youth: Alyssa Jones, Eva Jones-Bedolla, and Gracee Cross for their Caramel Apple pie. They were given a gift certificate to purchase decorative hand- painted rocks from Margaret Nitcher. Haines mayor Jim Brown who was one of the judges for the adult contest said, "Crust is a really big deal for me. I'm used to my Photo by Gina Perkins Rocky Brown of Lew Brothers Les Schwab Tires in Baker City, enjoyed a snow cone with his two grandsons, Sawyer (left) and Carter Blatchford on July 4.

Travel expenses and accommodatioris are provided to the veteran guests who visit the former elk hunting camp located in Wallowa County. From this base camp, warriors can float pristine rivers which include whitewater rafting and fishing, or hiking and camping expeditions into the Eagle Cap Wilderness, or guided hunting trips on vast acreage of fered by private landowners. Divide Camp serves veterans from Ore gon, Washington and Idaho. The solitude and beauty of the remote landscape into which Divide Camp is nestled, combined with the camaraderie among participants, allow them to relax, often for the first time since returning from deploy ment. In expressing his gratitude to Director Julie Wheeler, a recent guest said, “Thank you for this opportunity. This gave me a chance to ‘re-boot.’ I found myself doing things I never thought I’d do again. This is so much better than talking to a therapist.” By providing a wilderness adventure to those who attend, Divide Camp endeavors to “Honor Service and Build Hope” for combat service members. Veterans may apply with a “buddy” with whom they served to enhance this meaningful experience.
