Enter these things at the fair. It's variety that spices up the exhibits and this coun ty can boast about many artisans craft makers, producers and homemakers with fantastic talents. I'll skip the opportunity to compare my drooping daisies with the many lovely flowers that are brought to the fair. I am reliev ed that the cannas within the fairgrounds planters are blooming after helping Jane Rawlins pot all those tubers. Perhaps the late spring can be blamed for carrots the size of a pencil and a bushel of green tomatoes. Somehow I don't think that wormy apples or turnips would find favor with a vegetarian judge. Too bad there isn't a category for robust weeds where I could excel. However some weeds are edible as I remember when we used to gather mustard plants for greens. But I can live without artichokes and other types of thistles. I'm positive that I can produce biscuits that would go un contested for fishing line weights. Then there's the Wheat League chocolate sauerkraut cake contest. Why spoil good cabbage by turning it into sauerkraut? Perhaps that fermented stuff was created by accident. Remember those gallon cans of kraut with the twang of acid that used to be served up for school lunches while the lunch room teacher made sure that it didn't end up in the garbage pail? I admit that I once tried my hand at making sauerkraut due to a surplus of cabbage in the garden. It wasn't too bad. However, I didn't leave that stuff brewing in its own juice inside a crock until it was strong enough to walk out on its own. Somehow I prefer pickled beets or cucumbers to provide a menu tang. But it's fine to invent uses for sauerkraut or zucchini; just leave them out of my dessert. Gullible me once entered some sewing at the fair. No one told me that judges frown on sloppy seam finishes. What matters if the outside is presentable and it doesn't fall apart with the first washing. Bravo to the meticulous work by 4-H and open class sewers; they could wear their garments inside out. Those hard earned premium dollars should be invested in lot tery tickets to boost the economy. The wave of the future is to turn everyone into gamblers. After all, Portland needs to expand the light rail system costing 1.5 billion for a 12 mile run. That construction is supposed to benefit all of Oregon. There could be a reduction in the number of Portland motorists bent on running down Eastern Oregon visitors to the metro area, judg ing from my experience last week. And according to The Orego nian, Tri-Met doesn't want to depend on graffiti artists. They plan to spend around one million dollars on art to enhance light rail stations, funded by state and federal government and local taxes. If I were standing around in those stations waiting for a ride, I'd be too busy watching by backside to appreciate the aesthetic quality of the surroundings. A urban visit makes one appreciate our country way of life. It's important that people here support our fair that showcases that lifestyle. Don't let tradition become history. There are some places, including Multnomah County, that are uncertain as to the future of their county fairs. People for the Pool, an organization established to raise funds toward establishing a swimming pool, recently received a $45,000 donation from Kinzua Corporation, former owners of the Kinzua mill in Heppner. When the mill was sold, Kinzua Corporation made a gift to the community which was to be awarded to various charitable organiza tions. The $45,000 will go toward an indoor therapy pool. The latest donation brings the total amount raised by People for the Pool to around $60 thousand. People for the pool are con tinuing fund raising activities, including Bingo, which is held every Wednesday beginning at 6 p.m. at the union hall on Main Street in Heppner. People are asked to continue saving their receipts from Cen tral Market who have pledged a portion of the receipts to donate to the pool fund. Mailings will go out soon for the purchase of laser-printed bricks, which can be inscribed with a person's name, to be in stalled at the pool. Bricks may be purchased for $30 for one line and $45 for two lines of 14 characters each. Organizers hope to have a booth at the fair to sell the bricks. The group say they will con tinue to work on obtaining grants to help fund the therapy pool. WCCC plans Jack and Jill The Willow Creek Country Club golfers will have a Jack and Jill mini-tournament on Fri day, August 11, at 6 p.m. The activity will involve couples playing in a modified nine-hole chapman type of play. Prizes will be awarded for low scores and special events. The charge will be $4 per cou ple for members and $10 per couple for non-members. Light snacks will be served by the committee in charge. Host for this event are Gary and Barb Watkins, Duane and Robanai Disque and Jay and Lori Straley. NORBNE VETERINARY HOSPITAL Small Animal Surgery & Medicine Office Hours 9-5 Mon-Tues.-Thurs.-Fri.
