COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL • SEPTEMBER 19, 2018 • Cottage Grove celebrates its ‘Rosies’ the surrounding areas and all of them recipients of Barto’s quilts — each with colors chosen for individual Rosies and roses in- corporated throughout. She started making quilts for quilts of valor, a program aimed at providing quilts for veterans. But when Barto’s relative asked her to make a quilt for another relative, she realized there was a need for the Rosie community. “Aft er giving one to my family member and seeing how much it meant to her and giving her COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL that honor that yes, I remem- Yvonne Fasold and Opal Nelson attend a rose planting ber what they went through and ceremony earlier this year to celebrate Rosie the Riveters. how they stepped up and helped worked outside of the home Fasold, a Rosebud herself, to win the war.

One hand went up. Th at was August of last year. Since then, she has complet- ed 17 quilts and is readying to give away her last creation having managed to reach every known Rosie in Lane County. “Th e other ladies thought it was a good idea aft er I made the fi rst one,” she said, recalling the slow avalanche of requests aft er the fi rst quilt was deliv- ered in a short, but sweet cer- emony. “I usually just ask them to stand if they can and if they can’t too they just open the quilt and there’s a tag with the Rosie the Riveter, you know with her bicep up saying ‘We can Do It’ and under that it says that the quilt was for their ser- vice. Th e presentation is very simple,” she said. Between 1940 and 1945, one in four American women Party in the Park Cottage Grove Area Churches Wish to Thank You for your support!

Getting skunked “Getting skunked” is a nightmare that pet parents hope to avoid. Th eir pets feel the same, but it happens every day. If you think that “getting skunked” is when someone beats you at a card game or fails to make a payment, it also falls into the, “I never want that experience” scenario. Th e following is a story shared by Lisa, the owner of a fi ve- year-old King Charles Cavalier/Poodle mix rescue dug named Freddy. She describes Freddy as the love of her and her hus- band Clark’s life, along with their cat, Archie. However, Lisa’s experience is another example of what it means to “get skunked” — literally... O ne morning at 6 a.m. I opened the door to let him into the backyard. Th at’s when I saw it; a skunk. It was the charac- teristic cute black animal with two white stripes down its back. I took off running to save Fred, but too late. It spotted Fred innocently sniffi ng “his” back yard and — like slow motion when you can see what is about to happen and are powerless to do anything about it — the skunk spun around and sprayed Fred in the eyes! Th e smell was sickening and poor Fred was covered. He did the only thing he knew for safety: He made a beeline through the open door, into the living room and rubbed his face on our new leather coach. Th e skunk's oily spray dripped off Fred’s fur onto the wood fl oor. I grabbed a cloth and tried wiping his face, but instead the goo spread over his fur. It is one thing smelling skunk odor from your bedroom win- dow at night but being next to it and having it permeate your home is nauseating. My husband, Clark, jumped on the internet and discovered that using tomato juice to remove skunk spray is a myth.

So, Clark drove to a 24-hour store. We will never be without these products again. We mixed the ingredients, and without getting Fred wet with water, we applied it full strength as per the directions keeping it away from his eyes. We were all traumatized. Th e fi rst application removed most of the smell, so we applied it twice more and then bathed him in Nature’s Miracle Skunk Odor remover. We also used the bio-enzyme product to remove odors from our clothes, fl oor and couch. As Fred was recovering, curled up in his bed and covered in a towel, his best friend, Archie our cat, came up to him. Archie lovingly washed Fred’s ear letting him know that all is well and that he is loved even though he had a “date” with a skunk. Fred was not himself for days. He would cautiously look outside and not want to go out. Was he humiliated, scared or feeling vulnerable aft er his experience of being attacked by a cute cat-like creature? Also, like Lisa, my friend Lynda had a similar experience... A s my elderly poodle, Silky, and I walked in our yard, a skunk surprised us, turned and sprayed Silky in her eyes. I knew just what not to do: let her in the house until I was ready! My sister’s dog had recently “met” a skunk and ran under her bed smearing skunk oil all over her bedroom. Silky immediately rolled in the dirt rubbing the oil off her fur as I raced in the house and prepared the skunk mixture. I picked Silky up with a towel, put her in the tub, and poured the mixture over her. Th e skunk’s green goo slid off her fur and went down the drain. And with it 98 percent of the smell. I gave her a second rinse and the hydrogen per-oxide whitened her white fur, so it was an adventure with a happy ending. TIPS: “Th e skunk odor took fi ve days to leave our home,” said Lisa. “We placed open boxes of baking soda and white vinegar in shallow bowls around the house to neutralize the horrible smell.” Lynda added, “I placed cut onions in bowls of water to ab- sorb the odor from the air in my home.” Share your fun, amazing or crazing pet tips and tales at angelscribe@msn.com or Follow Pet Tips ‘n’ Tales on Facebook at www.facebook.com/PetTipsandTales.
