(Inset) Beulah’s baskets have lots of intricate weaving: (right) a variety of baskets she has ready to sell Nov. 6 & 7 at the art show. A local woman is keeping a Native American art alive. Beulah Ogletree of Heppner hand crafts pine needle baskets. Ogletree has been making baskets and other pine needle ar ticles since she took a class in Grant’s Pass 10 years ago. When she lived in Grant's Pass, she was able to get the long pine needles from a tree that grew in her yard, but now sends away for the needles from dealers in Georgia and other places in the Deep South. Ogletree sews the needles together with raffia, a fiber made from a palm leaf. The raffia is us ed like thread and is sewn with a darning needle. Rene Devin, who has learned quite a bit about the art of pine needle basket weaving, says the craft began in the Eastern part of the U.S. where Native Americans used sugar pine needles and grasses in stead of the raffia. Devin, who, along with Marsha Sweek, at tended a program on pine needle basketry last year, says that pine needle basketry classes have been available through the High Dessert Museum in Bend. Wire is used to make different shaped baskets, most of which are 10 to 12 inches across. Some of the baskets have handles and some have lids. O gletree, who also makes placemats and holders, says she does “ whatever sends me.” The prices of the baskets vary, depen ding on difficulty and size. Some of the baskets take as long as two weeks to make. Ogletree belongs to an arts and crafts club and sells the baskets at various arts and crafts shows. A longtime Morrow County resident, Beulah came to the area as a child when her parents. Joe and Jessie, bought a ranch at 8-Mile. She and her brothers. Bud Batty of Heppner, Gilbert of «it V Brookings, and Kenneth and Lewis, who have passed away, grew up there. Beulah’s husband Douglas, who passed away in 1984. was an engineer at the town of Kinzua and then at Kinzua in Heppner. She taught school in Heppner for around 10 years.
