Today in History
Just three days after the United Nations Security Council
voted to provide military assistance to South Korea,
President Harry S. Truman orders U.S. armed forces to assist
in defending that nation from invading North Korean armies.
He also ordered the U.S. Air Force to bomb military targets
in North Korea and directed the U.S. Navy to blockade the
North Korean coast.Truman’s dramatic step marked the
offi cial entry of the United States into the Korean War.
— June 30, 1950
Food 4 Thought
Why should Americans on the DMZ be among the fi rst to
die in a second Korean War? Should the North attack the
South, could we not honor our treaty obligations with air
and naval power offshore?
— Pat Buchanan

Of the Keizertimes
As many as 400 Civil War
reenactors will converge on
Powerland Heritage Park July
1-4.
The annual Civil War reen-
actment will begin each day at
9 a.m. with a battalion dress
parade.
Battles will take place Sat-
urday, Sunday and Tuesday at
11 a.m. and 3 p.m. and Mon-
day at 3 p.m.
Medical demos are sched-
uled after each battle. A par-
lor talk session is planned for
12:30 p.m. followed by a fash-
ion show in the grandstands at
2.
On Sunday, a church ser-
vice begins at 9:30 a.m.
In between all of the vents,
patrons are invited to walk
through the camps and ask
questions.
Gerald Hilchey will be giv-
ing blacksmith demos.
“It was always an interest
of mine,” said Hilchey, who’s
been an reenactor for four
years. “I’ve done metal work
most of my life and it’s fun to
teach. I enjoy sharing the old
art form with people.”
An engineering unit will
also be on site with a pontoon
boat they’ve been building for
a demonstration.
“It’s a step back in time,”
Hilchey said. “People do their
best to show what’s it was like
to live during the 1860s and
the Civil War.
“People can see camp life
and learn how things were
done, see how the fi ghting was
done, get an idea of how bru-
tal the conditions were for the
average soldier. There’s also the
fun side, too. People just gen-
erally having a good time and
being with each other during
off hours.”
Tickets are $12 and in-
cludes admission to the Pow-
erland Heritage museums and
vintage trailer exhibit. Chil-
dren under 12 get in free.
The annual event is put on
by the Northwest Civil War
Council, a non-profi t orga-
Sixteen families from Keiz-
er and Salem were treated to a
camping adventure at the sec-
ond annual Governor’s Cam-
pout at Willamette Mission
State Park north of Keizer.
The annual event, orga-
nized by the Oregon State
Parks Department and the
Boys and Girls Club was held
Saturday and Sunday, June 24
and 25.Dan Little, husband of
Gov. Kate Brown was sched-
uled to to participate as was
state Rep. Teresa Alonso Léon.
The families that were re-
cruited for the Campout don’t
have access to camping due to
lack of skill, time or resources.
The Arroyo, Ordonez-Munoz
and Higgins families of Keizer
participated in all the activities
including paddling, hiking, ar-
chery and an evening around
the campfi re.
It was the very fi rst camp-
ing experience for the Or-
donez-Munoz family includ-
ing 9-year-old Fernanda,
13-year-old Emilio and their
parents Carmen and Ray-
mundo.
Carmen Ordonez wanted
her children to experience
nature, which both Fernanda
and Emilio were excited to do.
The weekend of camping
was organized and staged by
the Oregon Marine Board,
Department of Fish and Wild-
life, Department of Forestry,
Salem Family YMCA. Partici-
pating families are recruited to
take part each year.
