Fara Currim, OSU Extension Agriculture Agent, gave an ex cellent noxious weeds presenta tion that included samples of the weeds. Although these weeds may look like pretty flowers, they can be harmful. To rid your yard of them, we recommend hand-pulling the plant, including the root, and disposing of it in the garbage. Handouts at the clinic in cluded a fresh salsa recipe, a publication on raised bed gar dening, and recent issues of gar dening magazines contributed by a popular Bend landscape de signer Chris Hart-Henderson. See the website at www.heartspringsdesign.com. Edith McBean, OSU Master Gardener, assisted in answering a variety of questions from the audience, such as how to best fertilize plants. She was also the photographer. Many attendees shared great success stories when asked the question: "What's currently growing in your yard or garden?" Wendell Jim brought beauti ful samples of the healthy mint, sage and honeysuckle plants flourishing in his garden, and offered them as transplants. Thanks to all the attendees, participants and OSU Extension Service personnel who contrib uted their efforts to a success ful event.

Tips on container gardening By OSU Master Gardners Edith McBean & Tina Burnside Container gardening helps new gardeners get started and old gardeners to create. You don't need to be a full time gar dener to reap the benefits. Con tainers are one of the great ways to have beautiful flowers, tasty herbs, and a spectacular splash of color. You don't need to be an expert to get great results tak ing a minimum amount of time and effort. And it will instantly jazz up your deck, patio or liven up a window-sill. If you have a houseplant, or a pot of gerani ums, you are already a container gardener. One of the challenges of con- Example of a hanging container plant. tainer gardening is finding the right pot. You can buy many different types of containers, but you can also be as imagina tive as you like. You first may BPA: need for better consultation want to think of where you would like to display your plants. An old shoe for instance might look great on the back step. A large decorated pot may be handsome for greeting you at your front door. The tried and true wooden barrel, set in a sunny location, may be just per fect for your herbs and toma toes. If you prefer viewing your floral display from inside and out, a hanging basket in front of the window may just meet those needs. The range of pos sibilities with container garden ing is amazing and will add to even the grandest of gardens. Basically to get started you need a few plants, a clean con tainer and great soil.

"She is an all-around outstanding student, " said Warm Springs Elemen tary School Principal Dawn Smith. Sierra says that the things she likes most about going to school is having the chance to learn new things. Her favorite school activity is writing, and she likes to write letters. Her parents are Karla and Hobo Patt. She has an older sister Chelsea, who goes to the middle school; and two younger brothers Byron and Jordan. Sierra says she wants to be a teacher when she grows up. 5P L.JlfX 1 ww i-uJia Sierra Patt (Continued from page 5) Irrigation districts, for in stance, can be difficult to get on board when it comes to fisher ies mitigation projects, because there may be an initial lack of trust, said Brunoe. If the tribes approach the irrigation districts with a pro posal, and then fail to follow through, "It is hard to get back the level of trust," he said. In response BPA representa tive Bill Maslen said, "The last thing we want is for you to lose trust from the local communi ties. We're here today to hear your concerns." Maslen said the BPA budget is based on power sales, not on federal tax money. During bad years in the power market, "our cash resources approach zero." The BPA has to justify money going out for projects such as fisheries restoration. This is why BPA makes the de tailed budget requests regarding the restoration plans. Terry Luther said he can see the BPA receiving the hydro project mitigation credits, but at the same time not funding nec essary restoration work in the future. Harold Blackwolf Sr., chair man of the tribes' off-reservation fish and wildlife commitee, and Ron Suppah, Council chair man, also commented that the BPA needs to better understand what it means to "consult with the tribes." They said that for a BPA staff person to talk with a tribal staff person about an issue does not constitute consultation with the tribes. The Tribal Council and the committees are the bod ies that are to be consulted with.
