Some o f the irises began as starts from friends and one is from the garden of Bev’s mother-in-law. Many o f the more unique colors are from the well-known iris specialists in Western Oregon, Schreiner’s. Bev’s favorites are a yellow and purple variety called “Edith Wolford” and a purple and white bi-color, “Stepping Out”. Albert doesn’t claim to have a favorite plant al though he is partial to the irises. A bank o f hardy ju niper shrubs provide year- round greenery. A row of curly leafed willows thrive next to white birch trees and a locust tree that is original to the hillside. Other trees are “ Paul S carlet” H aw thorne, weeping crabapple and green spruce. At last count, Bev had 18 rose bushes, but last summer, the neighbor hood deer ate back every rose bloom and they like to nibble other plants. Albert has fenced off some plants and tried running two rows o f hot wire to keep back the deer with no luck. Throughout the yard are rocks, stu m p s, farm equipment and decorations g ath ered over the years along with Beverly’s wind chime collection.

Wrights awarded June Yard of the Month By Kay Proctor Albert and Beverly Wright o f 535 West Linden Way have been aw arded June Yard o f the Month by the Heppner Garden Club. Albert and Beverly were country kids who met at Heppner High School, married in 1950 and settled on the Wright’s family place near Ruggs to raise their children, David, Dean and Diana. In addition to being from a family of early ranch ers and farmers in South M orrow County, A lb ert’s mother was a prolific gar dener. Beverly has always loved flowers and grew lots o f them along with exten sive orchards, berries, a vegetable garden and land scaped lawns at their “old place” in the country. In 1997, the couple semi-retired and moved into town. On 30-plus acres of bare, (very) rocky hillside with white, alkaline soil, they scraped out a level site, hauled in loads of fresh soil and gravel from the ranch, built a good sized shop and put in a nice home w ith a covered deck. They share their home now with a friendly cat named Six Toes. They brought trans plants and starts from their country yard into town in cluding their many varieties A m y D r a k e a n cl D e r e k G u n d e r s o n FREE SHIPPING Wednesday, June 18,2008 - FIVE Host an Exchange Student Today! comer, a rustic, iron head- board and footboard holding a bed of straw berries. A cast iron pot used by the early Wright family to render lard now holds colorful petunias. Other planted annuals are snapdragons, m arigolds, geraniums and alyssum in addition to several hanging baskets. One huge bleeding heart perennial fills up a good portion o f a flow erbed. O ther perennials in the borders surround ing the yard and home are coral-bells, daisies, poppies, hollyhocks, baby’s breath, lamb’s ear, hens & chicks, sedum s, yucca, Ju p ite r's Beard, peonies, columbine, candytuft, lilies, gloriosa and basket of gold. Shrubs include sev eral lilacs, hydrangea, ar- borvitae, spirea, snowball and several healthy crimson barberries. Clematis vines clim b near the front and back door while a honey suckle reaches around an arched gateway. Between the hillside and their driveway, Albert built a flowerbed supported by a long stretch of landscape blocks. In early spring, this bed is full o f narcissus and Beverly also has red and yellow tulips along w ith daf fodils scattered throughout other beds. Albert put in a soak er line and Bev runs hoses and sprinklers all summer making sure to keep every thing well watered. Weed spraying and lawn mowing are done by Albert now and both o f them pull weeds alth o u g h they have had help doing so last year for the first time. Bev uses a water-soluble fertilizer all summer. Real teamwork and hard work by the Wrights have resulted in a pleasant, enjoyable yard and home for them and provided Heppner w ith two good neighbors. Yard o f the Month recognition is co-sponsored by Heppner Garden Club, City o f Heppner, MCGG Green Feed and Heppner TV/W indwave Com m uni cations.

Now, you want to buy another property that has about the same current value. Would it make more sense to sell the first property and then buy the second? Not really unless you want to pay unneeded capital gains tax. It would be wiser to con sider a tax-free swap. In this way, you would not have to pay any gains tax on the big profit you’ll make on the original property. In fact, you could keep the excess cash you re ceive over the deposit you’ll need for the second property as a tax-free gift from Uncle Sam. A swap is a swap and not a sale. You can only exchange like properties (like rental prop erty for rental property ) not an apartment house for a yacht or a private residence. Also, you must find a new property with in 45 days and buy it within 180 days. Make sure you have professional real estate and legal help. An exchange is not for amateurs. \ntui fnm dermany. 16 yrs.
