Chili and Potato Feed
Remember the Chili and Potato
Feed this Friday, Feb. 5 at Haines
Elementary School from 4:30-7
p.m. This is an important
fundraiser for our wonderful
school. My kids are long since out
of elementary school but we try
and attend each year. I think it
means a great deal to the kids and
staff to know how much the com­
munity cares.
Pearl Goes to School
Sweet little Pearl, Mayor Jim
Brown's little molly mule, went on
a walk-about to the Haines play­
ground and was found Monday
morning by principal, Mr. Flana­
gan. He took her home.
100th Celebration
Mutual Improvement Club mem­
bers are busy, busy preparing for
their 100th Founders Day Celebra­
tion. Evelyne Fisher is president of
the club this year and shared with
me that Belle Fisher, the founder
(and no relation to Evelyne) hosted
that first event in her home which
is where Pat and Heather Heriza
now live on Callie Fisher Lane.
Lore has it that a snowstorm kept
some of the ladies from attending
that first meeting and therefore not
included on the "official list" of
charter members. It is pretty spe­
cial that for 100 years a service
club comprised of women from
the area has been helping to im­
prove out community. Congratula­
tions and thank you, ladies.
Original charter members in­
cluded: Belle Fisher, Cora Fisher,
Grace Perkins, Ella Brown, Fran­
cis Fisher, Lizzy Caster, Electra
Fisher, Georgia Hoberg, Nannie
Hoberg, CJ Osbourne, Nena
Perkins, Edith Polly and Cornelia
Potter.

Covered Bleachers in the Works
Congratulations to the Haines
Stampede Association which an­
nounced plans to add covered
grandstands.
Shukles Visit
I ran into John and Patty Shulde
at the Frontier Restaurant on Sun­
day. They were home for a visit
from Seattle. We got to have them
an extra day because, unfortu­
nately, their car broke down. They
are doing well and the Haines
Community sure misses them.
John was the Methodist Lay Min­
ister for North Powder, Patty
played the piano and they both
chaired the Fourth of July Pit
BBQ. John is an electrician with
Ash Grove and accepted a position
at the plant in Seattle.

Skye Flanagan took this "selfie" Monday morning of this
week and posted it on his Facebook page saying, "So...this
was my partner this morning...Had to lead this guy back home
from the playground. The job of principal just keeps getting
more exciting every day!"
The cute little mule belongs to Haines Mayor Jim Brown and
is friendly little escape artist. Mayor Brown lives across the
street from the school.
Comments on Facebook included, "other duties as as­
signed....too many comments, too little time.... Does this
mean you're a Democrat? You told me you wanted a race­
horse, you settled FlyGuy! Only in Eastern Oregon!.... It is still
law on the books in either Montana or Wyoming that if a stu­
dent rides their horse to school, the principal has to feed and
water the horse throughout the day. Don't know if it applies to
mules!"
