Richard Howe and Janet Dyke will be honored as this
year’s grand marshal and queen at the Haines Fourth of
July celebration.
A potluck dinner to celebrate them will start at 6 p.m.
Saturday, June 29, at the Methodist Church in Haines. The
Friends of Haines will provide ham, rolls, drinks, cake and
ice cream. Everyone attending is asked to bring a side
dish.
The grand marshal and queen will also preside over the
Fourth of July parade, which starts at 10 a.m. in Haines.
Other town events that day include cowboy breakfast
from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m., vendors in the park, the Haines
Stampede Rodeo at 1:30 p.m., a free concert after the
rodeo ends, and fi reworks at dusk.
Dyke grew up outside of Haines, and today helps her
son, Gary Pointer, farm the same ground her parents
worked.
She’s lived away from Haines only once in her 74 years.
“I was gone to Portland for six months once. I didn’t like
it,” she said.
She’s done various jobs over the years, from helping
her fi rst husband Les Pointer remodel houses, to milking
dairy cows for 14 years.
“Anywhere from 60 to 180,” she said of the cows.
She is married to Kevin Dyke. She has three children
— Gail Daniels, Greg Pointer and Gary Pointer. Over the
years she helped take care of her grandchildren, and now
spends time with great-grandchildren.
