f you want to make your next trip to Europe more exciting, see if you can find some special places or especially interesting things to do. I will give you some ideas in Germany and Austria which may be new to you. Here is a review of a two-week trip my wife, Hildegard, and I took last July and August. Don’t expect everything we did to be a fit for you. If you find one interesting idea, then reading this article will be worth your time. We flew from PDX to SeaTac to Frankfurt am Main. Then we took a train from the Flughafen to Cologne, Germany’s third largest city which dates back to the Roman Empire.

TRAVELS WITH WALTER

EUROPE'S

A key suggestion is to understand what makes a city special. Koeln is famous for its museums, so we explored a few of the eighteen I counted. The WallrafRichartz-Museum displays European art from the 13th to the 20th century. Realistic paintings from Lochner, Rubens, Rembrandt, etc. were presented on three floors. The Roman-German Museum displayed artifacts from the Roman period when Koeln was the biggest city north of the Alps. Koelnisches Stadtmuseum had its regular collection providing insight into the political history, economy

you to hop on or hop off their buses so you have more freedom of choice than staying on the bus for an hour and a half. They also have headsets for different languages such as English. If you like history, Cologne has a wealth of information. Andy Hoefermann, perhaps the most accommodating person I have known in my life, drove from Wuppertal to Cologne to pick us up at the Hilton, and then drove us to Wuppertal where Hildegard and I stayed with him in his apartment. Maybe what goes around, comes around because 27 years ago I took Andy on a ten-day adventure on the world-famous Bowron Lakes Canoe Circuit in Canada with my sons, Walt and Dave. Wuppertal (the Wupper River Valley) is world famous for its Schwebebahn which is a suspension monorail that has been in operation for more than 100 years. Dr. Rolf Hoefermann arranged for a large group of us to ride in the Kaiserwagen, the same car in which Emperor Wilhelm II and his wife rode in on the first trip in 1900. In 1950, “Tuffi”, an elephant was in the wagon as a publicity stunt, but she got scared and broke out, falling 39 feet into the Wupper River with only minor injuries. I have a comprehensive book on our family history going back to Magister Peter Pistor in 1550 in Elberfeld which became part of Wuppertal in 1930. The large, ornate Historische Stadthalle (city hall) also opened in EUROPE—cont’d on page 6

and culture of Koeln over the years. Various knights’ suits of armor, etc. were displayed for example. There was also a special exhibit portraying life during the Thirty Years’ War which devastated many German cities. It was primarily fought on religious grounds between the Roman Catholics and the Protestants. Most European countries, especially Sweden, were involved. Realistic paintings portrayed life during that period from 1618 to 1648. One of the primary attractions in Cologne is the huge cathedral close to the Rhine River. Many visitors fail to see the beautiful gold and silver church treasures from the 4th century located in the Domschatzkammer vaults below the cathedral. We chose to stay at the Hilton Hotel next to the St. Maria Himmelfahrt Church and close to the Hauptbahnhof because of Hilton’s convenient location and because of Hilton’s international reliability. The Cologne Hilton serves an excellent breakfast buffet. We also enjoyed Hilton’s Boston Fish Market buffet on Friday nights. The Hof 18 Restaurant also served us very good food.

“H” is for Harvest

ell, my fellow gardeners we have reached the point of critical mass(es). Masses of tomatoes, figs, apples green beans and much more. It is time to harvest, enjoy and preserve the fruits( and veggies) of our garden labors. Even if they don’t grow anything else, most people have at least one on two tomato plants tucked away on the patio, deck or in a garden. Then there is every one else who have vegetable, fruit and flower gardens where in late summer abundance abounds. Of course by now By Cheryl Spaulding spring and early summer veggies and fruit have long met their fate at the dining table. Now tomatoes plants, ladened with luscious red, yellow and green glistening globes of goodness, green peppers, green beans, sprout sprouts are all ripe and ready for picking and preserving. I’m often asked how to know when a tomato is ripe enough to pick. Well, there is no easy answer to that question. Many factors come into play, including the type, (determinate or indeterminate) the variety, the date when the plants went in the ground, the weather, etc. Tomatoes like lots of heat. But I do say tomatoes that are ripe should give a little when you lightly squeeze them. A hard tomato needs more time to ripen. By the same token, saying,”when the tomato is red” doesn’t work either. Tomatoes today come in shades of red, pink, gold, yellow, green, purple and even black when ripe. Different varieties of tomatoes will have different mature colors. Check the bottoms of the tomatoes for the mature ripe color of the variety you are picking. This is where tomatoes begin to ripen first. The skin of the tomato should be smooth and slightly shiny

without any dark spots or bruises. Even a small spot can indicate that the tomato may be rotten on the inside. My newest summer favorite recipe for tomatoes. This is must try for those who like tomatoes, peaches and watermelon.

Tomato, peach and watermelon salad

2 cups cubed watermelon of your choice 2 cups cubed peaches 2 cups chopped tomatoes (the more colorful the better) ½ cup chopped chives ¼ cup fresh mint leaves

½ cup Gorgonzola cheese crumbles ¼ cup fresh lime juice 4 Tbsp. olive oil 1 tsp. grated fresh ginger 1 tsp. honey • salt and black pepper to taste.

Mix cubed fruit, cubed tomatoes, chives and mint leaves in bowl. Mix dressing of lime juice, olive oil, ginger, honey, salt and pepper. Pour dressing over salad, toss gently and sprinkle with cheese crumbles. Sweet Bell type peppers can be harvested when firm and full size (at least 3½ to 4 inches) but still green. However, if left to ripen, they may also turn red, yellow, orange, purple or even chocolate-colored depending on the variety The less green you see, the sweeter the taste in both sweet and hot peppers. Once peppers begin to turn colors, they progress quickly so monitor them carefully. Once they turn their final color, they deteriorate quickly and should be picked. Some chile varieties will develop “corking,” or small stress stripes, on the surface when they reach full size. This a great clue that your peppers are ready for early harvesting. A few of the peppers which can show corking are Jalapenos, Habaneros, Hungarian Hots, Chilcostles, and Fresnos. Whether eaten fresh off the plant or cooked, pole and bush beans (commonly called green beans) are a tender vegetable and a great addition to any garden, Hint: Bush beans require far less maintenance, so they are easier to grow. Green beans are picked at an immature stage, when the seeds inside have not yet fully developed. Look for firm, sizable pods and snap or cut the bean from the plant stem. Do not tear the plant stem. And remember beans wait for no one. Pick them when they are ready. You can store beans in a moisture-proof, airtight container in the refrigerator. However, beans will toughen over time even when stored properly. Beans can be kept fresh for about four days, or blanched and frozen immediately after harvesting. Beans can also be canned or pickled. Who hasn’t picked an apple directly from the tree on a hot summer day and enjoyed the fresh snap as you bit into the apple and the juice running down your chin. Mmmmm, HARVEST—cont’d on page 11

his is a line Petruchio bellows in Shakespeare’s “The Taming of the Shrew”. I had the pleasure of seeing it performed by The Oregon Practice Shakespeare Festival in BY PAT STEPP © Copyright 2013/2014 Esther Short Park recently. The words “because Shakespear should be a little dangerous” on a poster I saw online gave me an inkling of what to expect beforehand. Katherina is the”shrew” defined as “having an irritable and unpleasant disposition’’. According to the customs in 16th century Europe, the oldest daughter must marry first. Her comely younger sister, Bianca must wait. The only thing Katherina had to offer a suitor was her enormous dowry, and Petruchio found her dowry very desirable. So thereRage like an angry boar chafed with sweat in lies the tale. Have I not in my time heard lions roar?

We were encourThat gives not half so great a blow to hear aged to interact by cheering and As will a chestnut in a farmer’s fire? booing the actors. Since the play was being performed as they were in Elizabethan times by human voice power alone, we were told to yell “Louder” if we could not hear. The actors carried their cues on small scrolls. Should they forget a line, the Prompter would blow his whistle and say it. After the play began we saw a further use of the whistle. It was blown when the decibel level of ambient noise was too high to hear the dialogue. For the next two and a half hours the Prompter would blow the whistle as a signal to stop until the din coming from ambulances, airplanes, and trains would pass. It is a little dangerous to perform Shakespeare in a city park in the flight path of two airports. But, the company of players and we in the audience adapted to the distractions. Light was fading when the Prompter blew the whistle. “17 and 13 minutes left”, told the cast. It was a fast and merry romp to the end as the tamed Katherina, married Petruchio. As the applause died down, I thought of my indroduction to the character Katherina. When“Kiss me Kate”, the movie/musical opened, Kathryn Grayson and Howard Keel starred, singing the Cole Porter Songs. I remember singing “I hate men, I can’t abide them even now and then!” afterwards. (I changed my tune the next year when I began dating.) Sixty years later, the Battle of the Sexes continues. Shakespeare wrote a memorable line in this play which suggests we call a truce: “Come sit by my side, and let the world slip; we shall ne’er be younger.” 4 • THE REVIEW • SEPTEMBER 2014

Bee blocks and bundled hollow twigs provide easy sites for the species who need those for their nesting habits. Other species need undisturbed soil or old rotting wood. Bumble bees use old mice and bird nests in the ground, but we can also build humble bumble nest boxes that they might use. It may take a few seasons for them to decide they are useable.

Lieutenant. The night before we arrived in Minden, Hildegard’s cousin, Elfriede, was not able to spend the night in her home because an unexploded 2000 pound “blockbuster” bomb from WWII was found during an excavation a couple of blocks away. The police required everyone in the area to leave their homes while specialists neutralized the bomb. Andy, Rolf and I drove further to Germany’s huge tank proving grounds between Hanover and Hamburg where we visited the Deutsches Panzermuseum Munster. This is one of the biggest tank museums in the world with more than 150 armored vehicles, primarily tanks from a number of nations and all of the famous German tanks like the Tiger and Panther from WWII. Currently, which is the best tank in the world—the German Leopard 2 A6 or the American M1A2 Abrams? My research indicates the Leopard is superior to the Abrams. One reason is that experts say the German gun is slightly better, but the key advantage to the Leopard is that it can use gasoline or diesel. We spent part of two days at the museum. I was fascinated with the Jagdpanzers (WWII tank destroyers). If you go, I would strongly suggest you have Mr. Klemens Umlandt guide you in the museum for a modest fee. He is fluent in German and English and knows lots of details. We overnighted at the Villa Vital for a reasonable cost including a good breakfast. I recommend the Wassermuehle as maybe the best restaurant in Munster. After picking up Hildegard in Minden, we returned to Wuppertal. Our next outing was driving to Alpen/ Niederrhein to see Dr. Klaus Pistor and his wife, Anne, who was truly an inspiration because she always had a smile despite a physical handicap from an accident. Together we drove to Xanten, home to an old Roman Kastell (fortification or citadel). We had a nice lunch courtesy of Klaus and Anne, and saw St. Victor’s Cathedral, an old five-isled basilica church. In the morning, Rolf, Gisela, Hildegard and I boarded an ICE train (a high-speed IntercityExpress) at the Wuppertal Hbf. (Hauptbahnhof or main train station). If you ride on an ICE train, be sure to reserve seats in advance. You can have a comfortable ride at speeds up to 300 kilometers an hour or 186 mph. We passed through Cologne and traveled south adjacent to the Rhine passing by river towns and seeing old castles on the hills on the other side of the river. At Wuerzburg, we transferred to another ICE train to Regensburg, an ancient city with origins before the time of Christ. If a history buff were allowed to visit only one German city, he might likely choose Regensburg which was the first capital of Bavaria. This intact medieval city is an UNESCO World Heritage City. There were earlier settlements, but a Roman camp was established circa 90 A.D. The first big development was ordered by Emperor Marcus Aurelius. The legionary fort of Castra Regina and Porta Pretoria were completed in 179 A.D. The Roman city wall had 9 gates and 21 towers. Bavaria became part of Charlemagne’s empire in 788, and Regensburg became a free imperial city in 1245. About that time a famous stone bridge over the Danube River was completed; it still stands today. It might be of interest for you to know that in 2005, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, a former professor at the University of Regensburg, was elected Pope and adopted the name of Benedict the XVI. We checked into a historic hotel called the Bischofshof—Hotel am Dom. In any German or Austrian city, there can be many churches but only one cathedral which is called the Dom. In this case, the Dom St. Peter is close by. Dom is an abbreviation for the Latin “Domus Dei” (House of God). TOP RIGHT: What a beautiful way to They serve good food at the tell the time.

“Throwing Up Smoke” or “The Smoking Mountain.” Captain Vancouver took the liberty of naming the peak after his friend, Alleyne Fitzherbert the first Baron St. Helens (1753–1839), a diplomat who served in Spain, Russia and other political posts. Kelley, he of the renaming scheme, wanted to call the peak Mt. Washington after our first president. In 1902, the U.S. Board on Geographic Names formally approved the name St. Helens. MT. ADAMS

Pahto or Pah-too, meaning “high sloping mountain,” is how Adams was known by local Indian tribes. But Adams got its American moniker through an error. Kelley had wanted to name our current Mount Hood after John Adams, second president of the U.S. However, a mapmaker mistakenly placed the “Adams” name about 40 miles away from the right spot. Serendipity intervened, though, as there just happened to be an unnamed mountain in that location, and thus Pahto became Adams. MT. HOOD

The Multnomah tribe called the mountain Wy’east after a legendary chief. In 1792 Lt. William Broughton, under Captain Vancouver’s command, named this beautiful peak after Lord Samuel Hood CASCADES—cont’d on page 9

“Behold, My Servant whom I have chosen; My Beloved ed in on whom My soul is well-pleased; I will put My Spirit upon Him, and He shall proclaim justice to the Gentiles. He willl not quarrel, nor cry out; nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets. A battered reed He will not break off, and a smoldering wick He will not put out, until He leads justice to victory. And in His name the Gentiles will hope.” —Matthew 12:18-21 NASB

t is hard to write about hope right now. There is so much trouble in the world. There are so many without hope. Suicides, tragedies, political unrest, famines, wars—you name it—that’s what we are experiencing. Last month I even wrote about people in the church losing hope and giving up.. This is all beyond sad but should come as no surprise to those ose that read the Bible. We are told time and time again that this will ill be the way of things. “In the world you have tribulation,” Jesus tells the Disciples in John 16:33, “but take courage; I have overcome the world.” Take courage. Stay strong. Have hope. So, ‘How?’ is what I am asking. Where is the hope? Where is hope for the afflicted? For the persecuted? Where is hope for the families trying to escape violence all over the world, hope for people who find out they have a horrible disease, hope for those experiencing the devastation of death, hope for the people who find out their spouses have left them, hope for those experiencing the devastation of divorce? It doesn’t make sense to our human hearts and minds to have “hope” while we have tribulation! We expect things to get worse, not better. We expect the damage to be great and the chaos to continue. Speaking from experience, it is true! Sometimes the damage is great and the chaos does continue! So how can Jesus say to take courage? Taking courage right at that particular point in history must have been monumentally difficult! Jesus was supposed to be the Savior. He was supposed to have the throne of David and reign over the house of Jacob forever. Jesus was supposed to have a kingdom that would never end! The Disciples were waiting and praying for the One who would bring salvation from our enemies and from the hands of all who hate us, to guide us in the way of peace, to shine on those of us who sit in darkness and the shadow of death. Jesus was supposed to be a light of revelation to the Gentiles and the glory of God’s people Israel, according to the prophecies! Instead the Disciples saw no quarreling, no defending Himself, no calling angels down to annihilate His enemies and take the throne of the world by force. The Disciples saw a humble Jesus, an innocent Jesus, willing to take the blame all by Himself for the sins of the World. They saw the One who quietly endured horrible brutality—for us. They witnessed Jesus exhibit no strength whatsoever, even humbly allowing another to carry His cross for Him to Golgotha. That must have confused them! The Son of God? All the power of the universe at His disposal, and He doesn’t use it? What was Jesus thinking? What was He doing?* Worse, they must have been thinking, “Is Jesus really the Son of God?” Surely some of them must have been wondering that and some of them had to be disappointed NOT to see Jesus display His power. Disappointment and horror would have been what I was feeling right then! But here’s the thing. God does not work like men. He does not operate like us nor does He have the limited mental capacity we have. What looks like great weakness, and therefore a fatal flaw in the whole creator of the universe thing, is actually the greatest strength ever displayed for mankind to see. This amazing strength was so powerful, so complete in its deliverance, so destructive to the fabric of evil, it shook the world! Literally! Jesus, by willingly laying down all His power and His very life, by paying the death penalty for all people for all times, and by rising

dead the third day, began the fulfillment of everything God from the de and promised, and totally took the enemy, Satan, by surprise. intended an statement Jesus told the Disciples and us about taking courage The stat tribulation, turns out to be amazingly applicable. We can have despite trib hope. We nno longer have to be separated from God like our prosecutor and aaccuser, Satan, claims we deserve. Do we all deserve death. Yes! Not a single one of us could ever keep God’s law in its entirety. Maybe most of us wouldn’t murder but no doubt we would falter in the other laws (like lusting and wanting things others have and being awful to our parents, etc.). As a matter of fact, according to Jesus, even if we never murdered we m would wo fail because even being angry is like murdering in God’s eyes! eye So, yeah, we are all guilty and we all deserve to go to hell. There The I said it! We are all headed for hell. In the Bible we are told our iniquities have made a separation between us and God. Our sins in BY LORI ANDERSON have hidden His face from us. Our hands are defiled with blood and our fingers with iniquity. Our lips have spoken falsehood and muttered wickedness. No one sues righteously and no one pleads honestly. We trust in confusion and speak lies; we conceive mischief and bring forth iniquity. We are separated from God in this state and will be forevermore in the next. Hell is our destination. Hell is where all those who refuse to believe there is a loving God will reside. Unless we are somehow cleansed of our filthiness (which we can never do ourselves), we have no hope in eternity with God, only assurance of eternity in hell separated from God. Hell and hope have nothing in common. But fear not! Take courage! Remember? Jesus has overcome! He paid our death penalty for us! We can stand before the accuser/prosecutor/devil at our trial with certainty. We can stand before the one who hates us and seeks to destroy us (Satan hates everything God loves!) without fear IF we have humbled ourselves and asked Jesus to be our defender, IF we have taken Him on as our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace! (Isaiah 9) Only Jesus Himself can face the accuser and have the authority and power to say, “It is finished. I paid their penalty. No debt but the debt of love remains.” And what is the debt of love? The Bible tells us in I John 4:7-19 (NASB): “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love. By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has seen God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so also are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love. We love, because He first loved us.” So, the conclusion of the matter is this, with Jesus we can take courage, stay strong, and have hope. God has made a way for us through His Son, Jesus Christ.

A long-handled fruit picker is a great tool to have on hand for apple picking. Hint: its great for fig picking as well.

According to one source, Mt. Rainier has been graced with more names than “any other geographical feature in the state.” Local Indian tribes called the peak Tu-ah-ku, Puak-coke, Ta-co-be, Ta-co-pe, and Tahoma, among other names, most of which could be translated as “snowy mountain” or a derivation thereof.

mountain after a friend, Rear Admiral Peter Rainier of the British Royal Navy. Around 1839, a rabid pro-American by the name of Hall J. Kelley promoted a plan to rename the Cascade Mountains as the Presidents’ Range. He also wanted to rename all the Cascade peaks after U.S. presidents. (His goal was to help secure the Northwest region for the United States, and he felt that tagging geographic features with American names would help to accomplish that goal.) His choice for Rainier was Mt. William Henry Harrison (our ninth president). Quite a mouthful—but his scheme failed. In 1890 (some sources say 1917), the U.S. Board on Geographic Names officially accepted Rainier as the name of this prominent volcanic peak. Besides Kelley, others have unsuccessfully attempted to rename our state’s largest landmark. In 1920, the Grand Army of the Republic pushed to have the mountain renamed Mt. Lincoln. In recent times, some Washington citizens have fought to name the peak Tahoma. But Rainier seems to be sticking quite well. MT. ST. HELENS
