ByMejljjn
So you're known for your homemade lip-smacking jam or your
back yard hosts the 'crowingest' banty rooster. 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.
