Thurs Nell's notes A m e m o r a b le Olmar, a mystical stump liv in g nearby, relates through a human coun te rp a rt nature tales of bygone days. The class left wondering about “ Truthie,” the first skunk off Mother Nature’s assembly line that was allowed to stink. The class outing consisted of the following students: Aaron Wilson, Telaina Watts, Je nn ifer Stone, D avid Sanders, Dawn Rigby, Patty McClure, Candi Peterson, Tracy Morten, Tracy Knapp, Judy Orr, Nat Moffet, Eric Ford, Lea Seymour, Chucky Kordosky, Mike Anderson, K im B arnhardt, Troy D a rte r, B ill Ferguson, M ira cle Daves, Rene’e Gillette, David Hirschfeld, L o ri H eintzm an, Keith James, Robert Kock, Mike Redmond, Kristal Lee. Adults included: Mr. and Mrs. Grant Wilson, Mrs. Watts, Mrs. Kordosky, Mrs. Knapp, M rs. O rr, M ary M attison and m yself. T ra ve lin g the longest distance was Mrs. Lucille Scarborough from Gearhart. The above rep ort was given to me by Bob Freeman. Bob is a fantastic story teller and the children were delighted with Olmar the Stump. Bob had Olmar a ll rigged w ith a tape recorder so it seemed the stump was telling the stories and the children were fascinated. I don’t wish to make anyone that stayed on this side of the mountain envious, but the weather on the other side was bea utifu l a ll weekend. There was a crowd of 29 people all at one time in our 12 by 20 foot living room. Clyde, Tulia and Krissy Phelps, Jim and Lorraine Lyne from Corvallis, our son and daughter and assorted other people were at our place, 13 in all, and the others were drop-ins. There were a couple of caualties though Son George piled a big bike he was riding into a pile of large rocks and had to have six stitches in his elbow It didn’t do the in cision on his neck much good. Also, one of the gals broke her thumb, so I was kept busy making hospital runs.

Our deepest sym pathy goes out to the fam ily of Bill Spencer. B ill was killed in an autom obile accident last week. I was handed a note that I attorney Bud Johns, a for- 1 mer resident of this area was running for justice of the peace in Florence. Bud moved back to Florence after his wife died, and we lost track of his whereabouts. Now all I have to do is find out who won the election. Three were running. The first grade pupils, 26 strong and charges of teacher Gerry Owens and aide Freda Tyler, left Cot trell school May 19 for the day accompanied by parents for a trip to Mt. Hood and further points. The day’s outing had been postponed a week because of continual inclement weather. While the sun was out with temperatures in the low 70’s, conditions at T im b e rlin e were not cooperative. Wind gusts hovered at 50 mph, m aking any kind of c h ild re n ’ s a c tiv itie s im possible. The class retraced its route down the mountain earlier than planned. Receiving prior permission, the group was allowed to park its bus behind Ted’s Brightwood Store and the post office. Here the entourage reassembled and hiked the hill trail to the Bob Freeman residence. A bonfire awaited the group along with hot dogs, buns, wiener sticks, peanut butter celery stalks, graham crackers and lemonade. A Everyone fired up his or her hot dog, adding whatever gourm et touch possible under the circumstances. It is suspected that some of the black images stuck between buns were not meat. Outside of that everything However, there was little or was fine.
