Extension offers county fair hints
Willow Creek catch
Trevor Rhea (right) and Adam Wight, both Heppner, show the fish
they caught in Willow Creek on Monday. Trevor is keeping his fishing
hole secret and wouldn't disclose the location.
Summer is the time for county
fairs. Have you ever had an urge
to enter any of your produce to
be judged at the fair?
Kathryn Kettel, Oregon State
University Extension agent, has a
number of hints for entering
produce at local fairs this
summer.
Get a copy o f the fair
exhibitors’ handbook. This will
contain the exhibition rules for
fruits and vegetables - the "who,
what, when, where and why" of
your particular county fair
competitions.
Choose a group of fruits or
vegetables as closely alike as
possible in color, shape and size.
Judges prefer uniformity.
Entries should be free of
blemishes. Do not enter produce
scarred by garden pests. Discard
vegetables marred by disease,
rough handling or careless
cultivation.
Select normal-sized vegetables
that are ready to be consumed or
cooked, at their best and most
flavorful.
"Vegetables and fruits should
be what’s excepted by industry,"
said Kettel. "Just go look at what
is sold in the grocery stores and
then pick your produce for
contests accordingly."
Choose specimens typical for
the variety in shape, color, and
size. For example, tomatoes are
expected to be evenly round -
don't select oblong tomatoes that
look more like squashes in shape.
Save the strange specimens for
the "weirdest vegetable" contest.
For more information about
entering produce for competition,
contact the local county fair
office, 676-9474, or Morrow
County Extension Service, 676-
9642 or 1-800-342-3664.

Fact-some of us never grow up, even when we grow old. It’s also
true that anyone can say anything, but it’s wrong when so-called ex
perts promote guidelines not based on fact.
Talk about confusing policies. People whose experience is that of
tending gardens rush off to critique the flora and fauna in unculti
vated areas. They suddenly become experts on how natural resources
should be managed.
Yes, I’m ready to hang out the red, white and blue flag (made in
China). I just don’t think that giving away our natural resources and
putting those assets under foreign control is what our forefathers had
in mind when they dumped tea in the Boston Harbor.
Conflicting statements also impact our daily lives. Scientists take
opposing views on whether decaffeinated or regular coffee is more
harmful. Now we’re a society hooked on espressos or lattes laden
with sugar, flavorings and cream. That’s a slam-dunk without the
doughnuts. But maybe you’re a health seeker who drinks only water
instead of starching your socks. Hopefully that clear H20 only has
fluoride and lacks all the minerals that will rust your innards.
Humpty Dumpty producers took a fall much like what happened
when apples were declared unsafe due to Alar. Experts claimed that
“hen fruit” contributed to high cholesterol levels. Now they declare
that eggs are good for you even though I was never fond of cleaning
out the chicken house residue. They now blame saturated fats. Yet it
seems that everything edible is lard-producing (on my body, that is).
The self-imposed work of tending a garden comes from a natural
survival instinct, I suppose. One can slave over long weedy rows as
radishes grow hot and produce big tops. In spite of efforts of a green,
weedy thumb, sometimes there are more salad ingredients in a 99tf
head of lettuce than in a garden. However, my feet prefer this type of
exercise to pounding the pavement while jogging.
There’s all the talk about the bad effects of unlimited computer
time for children. Kids today are miles ahead of their parents. They
are now creating their own Web sits while parents wish kids would
unweb their bedroom sites. Clicking used to be something you did
with your mouth when things didn’t go right. And a mouse was some
thing you hoped to catch in a trap. While the Internet is supposed to
help children communicate, every parent knows that verbal commu
nication often falls on deaf ears.
Adult gamblers were once considered second-class citizens. But
everything is a gamble-like that garden, tomorrow’s weather and the
state of the union. If we can’t think of a more suitable way to share
assets, than it’s but a short drive to a legalized gambling casino.
However, if you don’t spread your wealth, the government will do
it for you. Taxpayers have already footed the bill of millions of dol
lars to defend Timothy McVeigh. Even though he was convicted,
they want to try him again. And there will be lengthy appeals. Mean
while, someone will get rich from writing a story about his life.
Whether as criminals or politicians (often interchangeable), being in
the public eye has monetary rewards.
Meanwhile, ordinary people often air their mistakes in yard sales.
There one can find practically-new exercise equipment, a funky hat
still carrying the store tag or the hardly-used golf shoes. Just don’t
ask why I own a pair of short shorts that I wouldn't be caught wear
ing in a total blackout.
