Second annual Rollin’
on the River to be held
10th Am endm ent program put on in Heppner
By David Sykes
W hat the fram
ers of the constitution in
tended when the country
was formed, is a long way
from the power the federal
government has today, a
constitutional attorney told
a group of people in Hep
pner Sept. 12.
Walla Walla Attor
ney Andrea Burkhart put on
the program concerning the
10,h amendment of the US
Constitution. The amend
ment is relatively short
and states: “The powers
not delegated to the United
States by the Constitution,
nor prohibited by it to the
States, are reserved to the
States respectively, or to
the people.” Burkhart said
Thomas Jefferson called the
amendment the foundation
of the constitution.
Burkhart said the
tenth amendment restricts
the power o f the federal
government and places the
power in the states. “How
did the federal government
get where it is today?” she
asked. “It is important for
us to learn as much as we
can about our constitu
tion.” Burkhart said she and
her husband, also an attor
ney in their law firm have
been putting on programs
about the 10th amendment to
“share our knowledge with
people who want to learn,”
she told the crowd of about
50 people.
She said when the
founders o f the country
declared their independence
from Great Britain they
believed that people were
bom free and should be able
to structure their society the
way they wanted. Burkhart
said the rights the founders
believed they had were God
given and not granted to
them by any government.
The Constitution was to
protect these rights against
encroachment by any gov
ernment. “The founders
were under the complete
control o f King George
III. His word was law and

stitutional expert. She recently put on a program in Heppner.

the framers had no say in
parliament.” Burkhart says
this is why consent of the
governed was very impor
tant to the founders. They
believed too much power
in the hands of one person
restricts our freedoms, she
said.
Burkhart said when
the country was established
the role of the federal gov
ernment was to settle dis
putes between the states and
to protect the country. “The
federal government was
there to take care of federal
issues and to fight the Brit
ish,” she said. “There was
a lot of pride in states w hen
the country was founded
and they were going to be
the primary place laws are
to be made," she said.
The program was
sponsored by the Willow
Creek Tea Party Patriots.
Before the program started

ner, stanzas two and four,

‘Thomas Paine’ coming
to Walla Walla
for a year. She moved on to
another aspect of the busi
ness world when K-Mart
Corporation hired her for
their Management program.
During the 20 years she was
with K-Mart, she managed
11 K-Mart stores in eight
states. In 2006, Kris left K-
Mart, and moved with her
husband, R.B., back to his
hometown, Hermiston. She
continues to work full time
in management and quilts
for pleasure.
She shares that
she really enjoys making
smaller items, table run
ners, table toppers and wall
hangings. “1 like the quick
gratification that the smaller
finished product gives me.”
Seasonal ones are her favor
ites and she has been known
to make them for almost
any and every season. For
a wedding present for one
of her friends she made a
set of 12 table runners, one
for every month. For larger
projects, Kris really enjoys
making the ‘scrappy type’
of quilts. “My favorite chal
lenge is to make something
out of leftovers. My mother
never threw anything away
and she has passed that
trait on to me.” Kris likes a
challenge and enjoys using
com puter softw are pro
grams to make her original
designs. “It is very helpful
to be able to ‘draw.’ them
out in color before cutting
into and potentially wasting
fabric.”
