The Art of Ed
For the past nineteen years, devotees of an American art legend known as Ed “Big Daddy” Roth have met in early June in Manti, Utah to celebrate his life and work. The 2020 event had to be held virtually, but this year’s (2021) “Rat Fink Reunion” is set to be held in person. Big Daddy is recalled today for his iconic depictions of hot rods, motor bikes, and various other vehicles driven by a series of maniacal monsters, chief among which was a character Roth called “Rat Fink.” Roth’s bizarre creations are difficult to put from your mind on first encountering their garish glory. A burly, dark-haired man with an ever-present goatee, the details of Big Daddy’s life are unremarkable. As a child, he showed both a mechanical aptitude and a creative flair. Born in 1932 in California, Roth’s father was a cabinet maker. He encouraged his sons, Ed and Gordon, to develop their woodworking skills in a home shop. As early as grade school, Ed’s artistic skills shone—drawing pictures of the kinds of things boys like to draw—elaborate battle scenes, diving airplanes, spaceships, military armor, hot cars, and of course, monsters. By the time he was a teenager, Roth had his first car, a 1933 Ford coupe. These Ford autos from the depression era cast an irresistible spell over custom car builders in 1950s America. The Beach Boys’ song, “Little Deuce Coupe,” is but a minor evocation of the regard gearheads then had for the Fords. Modifications could be made more easily on them than on many other models. This, combined with the classic styling, sent would-be hot-rodders in search of the elusive coupe. After high school, Roth spent some time in college but got restless and joined the Air Force. Four years later, Roth had mastered the craft of map-making and had an honorable discharge. Making maps for the Air Force taught Roth that discipline in any field was a plus, but in art it’s especially critical. Many people are artistically talented; few are willing to put the work in day after day. Roth, by contrast, was more than willing. But there were other things to think about besides art. There were cars—particularly hot, fast, customized cars that would turn heads when
The “Rat Fink” is one of Ed Roth’s most iconic characters. seen on the street. Roth returned to California after the service and began working for Sears. When not on the job, he earned extra income pin-striping cars, using original art he designed, giving each vehicle a distinctive look. By now, Roth was married and a father, so the money came in handy. It was a short step from pin-striping cars for others to building his own car in his garage. Roth managed this using parts from wrecking yards and mastering the use of a revolutionary new material called fiberglass. Roth’s first home-built car was dubbed “The Jewel.” After it came “Outlaw, Beatnik Bandit,” and “Rotar.” Soon, the connect between what Roth liked to build and what he liked to draw was in full swing. Roth’s passions could not have found a more receptive audience than the emerging car culture sweeping the nation. In the period following World War II, American consumer output soared. Relatively few people owned cars before the war. Five years after the war, there were a mere 25 million cars on USA roads, and almost all were dilapidated prewar vehicles, some dating to the 1920s. Spare parts were near impossible to come by. However, by the end of the 1950s, everything had changed, with car ownership tripling to 75 million registered vehicles. Along with this trend came car shows, drag races, car magazines, car clubs, destruction derbies, car rallies, and a seemingly endless series of products for sale to auto enthusiasts. It was at the auto events that Roth began developing a reputation as a first-class artist and advocate of the custom car craze. His airbrushed t-shirts were an immediate hit, and as an artist, he really took off. ...CONTINUES on pg. 5

In the 1960s, Roth secured a deal with Revell, a model maker, to issue plastic kits based on his automotive art. These proved so lucrative that even at a one cent per kit royalty, Roth earned $32,000 in a single year! Roth’s most popular car monster debuted in 1963. This was the one he called Rat Fink. A shark-toothed, overgrown rodent with a mania for driving wacky conveyances, Rat Fink won the hearts of many a red-blooded American boy. Not all adults went along. As a youth growing up in the heyday of Rat Fink, I can recall my eighth grade parochial school teacher, Sister Norine, expressing a distaste for the box art on a Revell plastic model kit a boy (not me) had brought to school. The good Sister of Saint Francis described the image as ”revolting” (which only made it all the more cool to us rebellious thirteen-year-olds). Rat Fink and his brother monsters are traditionally shown at the wheel of an impossible vehicle, driving at inhuman speeds, smoke belching from the tail pipes and displaying painted flames on the sides and hood. Roth’s art is deliberately and absurdly grotesque. It’s like the most obnoxious teenage boy way to express oneself with art, risen to the level of art. Your mom disliked it, if she Here, Ed Roth is pictured, probably in paid any attention at all. But the late 1950s, creating t-shirt art (Photo/ then, Mom also disliked Mad https://www.rubbertherightway.com magazine, so her taste was /blog/ed-big-daddy-roth/). certainly suspect. In the 21st century, it's not easy to decide whether it’s the wildly exaggerated gas-powered roadsters or the driver monster we find most compelling. Whatever the case, Roth’s drawings remain the image of choice for the front of your favorite white t-shirt, sleeves rolled up or cut off at the shoulders. In his personal life, Roth lived large, marrying four times and fathering multiple children. His art financed a series of shops where he built cars and cranked out t-shirts by the score. T-shirts with his To view more of Ed Roth’s art, you can vintage designs can still go online to https://www.RatFink.com. be had by going to the web site owned by Roth’s estate. Later in life, Roth converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints. As dedicated as he was to his artistic and vehicular pursuits, it’s a stretch to imagine him shaving off his signature goatee and giving art lectures at BYU, but eventually that’s what he did. Human beings, it seems, are puzzles with pieces that don’t always fit together easily. Such was the case of Big Daddy. Although Big Daddy Roth is no longer a familiar name, his art, strange as it was, stands the test of time. On the 20 th anniversary of his passing, if you can hear Rat Fink over the roar of a booming engine, he tells us: “When you get to Manti for this year's reunion, give Big Daddy my fondest regards.” —Mike Bonner Mike Bonner of Eugene is the author of MAVO—High School in the 1960s, Freshman Year, a comic memoir of a Portland, Oregon USA adolescence.

Lane Co. Search and Rescue, Eugene Mountain Rescue, and several other organizations from various counties participated in the search. DOUGLAS CO. SHERIFF’S OFFICE — After 17 nights in the wilderness, 69 year-old Harry Burleigh has been found alive and rescued by Search and Rescue (SAR) crews who never gave up. On Sunday, May 23, 2021, Douglas County Search and Rescue conducted another mission in the area of Calf Creek after Burleigh's fishing gear was found last weekend. Additional SAR resources were called in from Jackson County, Lake County and Siskiyou County (CA) for Sunday's efforts. At approximately, 3:00 p.m., a team of searchers from Jackson County SAR located a shelter southwest of the original shelter found last weekend. The search crews called out to Mr. Burleigh who responded back. He was found to be walking and complaining of minor pain, but was in stable condition. A Brim Aviation helicopter was utilized to hoist Harry Burleigh was found by Search and Rescue Burleigh from his location and transport without injury after 17 days. him to a waiting Lifeflight helicopter. Lifeflight later transported him to an out of area hospital for evaluation. The Brim Aviation helicopter was utilized to extract the remaining Jackson County SAR team from their position. The other search crews were able to self-extricate. "This was the outcome we all have been looking for in this case. It is because of our determined Search and Rescue Teams and the partnerships we have with other SAR teams from around the state, that Mr. Burleigh has been re-united with his family this evening," Sgt. Brad O'Dell said. "The Sheriff's Office wants to thank everyone who was involved in this mission." Rescue crews would like to remind everyone of the ten essentials for survival: 1) navigation (map, compass, GPS, personal locator beacon, etc.), 2) headlamp or flashlight, 3) sunglasses and sunscreen, 4) first-aid supplies, 5) fire (the means to start and sustain a fire), 6) knife, 7) shelter (tent, tarp, etc.), 8) extra clothing, 9) extra food, and 10) extra water.

Oregon Outdoor Family: 9 Mistakes We’ve Made While Hiking with Kids
Free For All News, June 2021
9 Mistakes We’ve Made While Hiking with Kids Every hike starts with the best intentions. But sometimes, despite our thoughtful preparations, things go wrong. We’ve hiked with our kids for over 14 years, and even we still make mistakes, including an epically bad trip I’ll tell you about in a minute. First, here are nine mistakes we’ve made while hiking with kids, and what we’ve learned as a result. 1. Not taking extra clothing and diapers — This seems so obvious, but it’s easy to overlook when you’re managing water bottles, snacks, backpacks, and making sure everyone is actually wearing shoes. When you’re hiking with young children, make sure you take extra clothes like pants and socks. And if the children are very young, extra diapers or underwear. One of them simply plopping onto their butt in a stream is enough to ruin a hiking trip. I’m going to add that a wet bag (a small bag made of waterproof material, usually with a zipper) is a perfect, lightweight addition to your hiking bag. This is like a reusable Ziplock bag that will keep your other things dry when you’re carrying wet clothing. We don’t always take extra clothing on every hike, but we make sure we have extras in the van at all times. Even if we finish a hike with a wet kid, we all feel better on the drive home if we’re all wearing dry clothing. 2. Mom & Dad carrying too much — This mistake is less obvious, but one we made far too many times before we finally learned our lesson. My husband and I would carry backpacks filled to the brim with everyone’s water, snacks, and unwanted coats. This worked okay until a little one didn’t want to walk anymore. Then we were carrying weight on our back and in our arms. When we wore baby carriers, we were doubling the weight on our backs. Finally, we realized this just wasn’t working. Over the course of a couple of hiking seasons, we bought some gear, changed our plan and things are working much better now. Kids of all ages can carry a little something. Our bigger kids carry their own water in bladder bags (called Camelbaks). Each of their Camelbaks has a pocket for snacks. The littlest ones may only carry a couple of granola bars, but they like to have a backpack too! 3. Forgetting to take a baby carrier — If you have a hiker under the age of three, take a baby carrier! Whether it’s a fancy hiking carrier with an internal frame, or a soft-structured carrier that can pack down into a small bag, at least have this in your car. We often wear them empty until a kiddo needs up. An easy one-mile hike can turn into an hour of misery if you have a child who can’t (or won’t) go the distance. Carrying a kiddo in your arms or on your shoulders is only fun for a few minutes, and then it’s just drudgery. Preparation goes a long way when you’re hiking with toddlers. Honestly, we still carry a pack for our six-year-old. He is small for his age and has low muscle tone, and sometimes he just can’t go one…step…further. He’s 45 pounds and my husband uses a Deuter Kid Comfort II with an internal frame. 4. Going too far on an out-and-back hike — You’re feeling great, everyone is happy, and the scenery is beautiful. You know you’re child has a hiking limit of about two miles, but there’s another waterfall just around the corner, and you really want to see it. Mistake! Suddenly, you’re 1.5 miles out, and you still have to hike back. Oops, looks like you’ll be carrying him out again. Yes, we’ve made this mistake many times. Now when one parent suggests going “just a bit further,” the other one is likely to remind us all that we still have to hike back! 5. Not following warnings about trail conditions — This one is painfully obvious. I’m ashamed that I even have to include it, but yes, we’ve actually made this mistake. For our first major hike of last year, we decided to head to Parker Falls, east of Cottage Grove. We printed some maps and read reviews on AllTrails.com. Recent reviews said the trail was a mess from last winter’s snowstorm, which brought trees down all over the forest. The trail to Parker Falls hadn’t been cleared yet. Some reviews even said “Not safe for kids.” But, but, but…the nearby Trestle Creek Falls trail had JUST been cleared two weeks before. We figured the Forest Service was working their way up the hill and that Parker was probably cleared, so off we went. The first 0.1 mile was fine. Then we encountered the first blowdown, a huge tree that stretched both above the trail and below. There was plenty of space for us to crouch underneath, and I took adorable photos of the

kids walking under the huge log. Then, more blowdown. And more. Soon, we were scrambling over and under logs more than we were hiking. At 0.7 miles, we could see a stretch of trail ahead and it was more of the same: tree after tree across the trail. We turned around and headed back, counting trees as we trekked down the hill to the van. There were 19 trees that all required climbing over, crawling under, or maneuvering around. Not our best decision. I do believe our kids were safe; we’re fanatical about trail safety, but still. We should have heeded the warnings. For all our effort, we never made it to the falls. 6. Attempting a trail too difficult — We’ve never really done this as we’re pretty honest with ourselves about what we and our kids can manage. But, we did attempt a trail that was too long once. We knew the cool stuff was two miles down the trail and that everything between the trailhead and the cool stuff was pretty average. But the cool stuff sounded so cool! Nope, we made it one mile down the trail, and started a long, arduous hike back while carrying two toddlers who were done. We knew their limit was just over a mile, so why did we attempt a fourmile round trip hike? Well, what can we say? It was supposed to be really cool. We thought we could make it there, take a long break, and then head back. Be safe: know your kids’ limits, know your own limits 7. Setting a pace that is too fast — My husband is 6’1″. Our toddler is 36″. When he takes a step, she takes six. When he is walking, she is running. And she can only run for so long. We’ve been hiking with our kids (ages 1-14) for their entire lives, and we’ve learned to adjust our pace to their much slower one. People sometimes marvel that we hike with our kids…well, it’s more like a nice, slow walk through the woods! Toddlers are slow, they just are. And we adjust to them. If we want to move faster, we use our baby carriers. 8. Not managing expectations — This goes along with numbers 6 and 7. We’ve made the mistake of not managing our expectations. If we expect to see the waterfall, or the “cool stuff”, and we don’t…are we disappointed? Is the hike a failure? No! Not seeing Parker Falls was kind of a letdown, sure, but climbing over trees and crawling under them? That’s an adventure! My kids loved it. They had a blast trying to navigate the trail. And missing out on the cool stuff? That waterfall isn’t going anywhere, we’ll try again later! We actively teach our kids that the walk itself is enough. We sometimes go on short hikes to find painted rocks. If we find one, great! If not, then it was a fun chance to stretch our legs and get some fresh air. We try to find the value in what we can accomplish, rather than feeling disappointed if we don’t reach the goal. And yes, when hiking with kids, we don’t always make the goal. Sometimes, we leave without seeing the waterfall or the “cool stuff”. 9. Not bringing snacks — This is the biggie. It’s so easy to fall into the no-snack trap: we’ve eaten a big meal and immediately set out on a short hike afterward. We don’t need snacks, we just ate! But when hiking with kids, don’t make this mistake! Take all the snacks. All. The. Snacks. They can be used as “motivation” to hike just a little further or as a well-deserved treat at the end of the trail. Granola bars and applesauce pouches travel well, but pack whatever your kids enjoy. I’m sure there are tons more mistakes we’ve made. As I think of more, I’ll add them on the Oregon Outdoor Family blog online. We’ve learned a lot about hiking with kids: how to do it, what not to do, and most of all, that it’s really fun when you get it right. Don’t be afraid to take your kiddos along and explore a new trail! —Heather Hicks To read more Oregon Outdoor Family adventures, visit www.oregonoutdoorfamily.com

Still-Burning Questions about the 2020 Fires
Free For All News, June 2021
circumstances and during a disaster such as the Holiday Farm Fire?
11
JEFF: SUB has obtained limited funding under a grant provide by the Federal Emergency Management Administration which resulted in SUB undergrounding an overhead segment. Access to this type of funding is limited. I am not aware of expanded funding being proposed in legislation as a result of recent wildfire events. Regarding the second part of your question, I believe California has done studies that indicate that more frequent controlled burns in forested areas within state and federal lands should be done in order to manage wildfire risk. Current forest management appears to have contributed to enhanced wildfire risk. “Dry weather and strong winds also mean that what would have been small fires in the past are now monster fires that both damage trees and climb up into the canopy and kill whole forests,” said Malcom North, a research scientist for the US Forest Service. “This is due in part due to the fact that forest managers have spent the last century putting out every fire they could, even small, natural fires,” North continued, “and the forests have become choked with too much overgrowth, making them ready to burn.” [Also an affiliate professor at the University of California Davis, Malcom has advocated for creating a prescribed burn center within the Western United States.] Carbon sequestration in existing forest footprints can be temporary. I understand that more cities are looking at enhanced tree and vegetation programs within suburban and urban areas to enhance habitat and expand the carbon sequestration footprint within city limits.
JEFF: The short answer is that it depends on scope and scale of the event. For example, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACoE) operates local dams for flood control and also notifies agencies of potential blue-green algae formations that may move from the reservoirs through the downstream river system. SUB monitors for weather events and potentially implements protocols related to utilities ahead of the event. This could include partially activating our Emergency Response Plan in advance of a forecasted wind or ice event that may impact our electric distribution system. This plan is designed to conform with the National Incident Command System (NIMS). Activation of the plan could be within SUB or expanded to coordinate with other agencies if the event grows in scale. In the case of the Holiday Farm Fire, the state activated a local incident command structure and SUB interfaced with that structure. SUB also interfaced with the liaison at the Oregon Public Utility Commission (OPUC) that coordinated statewide support for telecommunication and electric utilities during the wildfire events that occurred in the State. In a large-scale event, our response plan scales to interfaces with City, County, State, and Federal resources under the local coordination of the City of Springfield. SUB also is a member of Team Springfield, which is made up of Springfield Public Schools, the City of Springfield, Willamalane Park and Recreation District, and SUB. I interface with executives at those organizations on a regular basis and staff of both agencies interact to provide each other with long term plans (to see if there are synergies on future projects) as well as ongoing operational updates on issues of joint interest.
OREGON STATE WILDFIRE LEGISLATION SB1536 was introduced to Oregon’s legislative assembly in January of 2020. Much of the bill is directed at utility companies, requiring them “to operate in compliance with risk-based wildfire protection plan approved by the Public Utility Commission.” It procured $21 million for wildfire reduction projects. Unfortunately, the Oregon State Legislature website last noted action on this bill on May 8th, 2020. SB287 was introduced to the Oregon Legislative Assembly in January of this year. While there are several similarities between it and SB1536, especially when it comes to utilities being required to create risk-based wildfire protection plans, SB287 appears to be more broad in its scope. For example, it “Requires ODF to develop and implement a fuel reduction treatment program on forestlands and rangelands” and “requires the Oregon Health Authority to establish clean air shelters within local communities… [that] must be available to the public without charge during periods when wildfire smoke levels present a public health risk.”
FFA NEWS: Are you aware of any efforts currently underway aimed at refining policies that guide powerline corridor management? Specifically, are you aware of any efforts taking place at the state or county level? JEFF: Expanding on SUB’s efforts with other utilities regarding legislation, we are providing input on Senate Bill 287 and worked on Senate Bill 1536 in the prior state legislative session. As members of the American Public Power Association (APPA), we have been supportive of the association’s longstanding efforts to enhance utility access to state and federal properties to enhance public safety. In terms of suburban powerline management, SUB has a tree trimming program which falls under the OPUC as well as pole attachment procedures. We also inspect our powerline corridors and conduct vegetation WYDEN & MERKLY PROPOSE BILL TO ENSURE MORE WILDFIRE RESILIENT POWER GRID management within the areas of our control. FFA NEWS: Are you aware of any government programs or funding opportunities that might allow Oregon utility companies to explore alternative ways in which they might transport power more safely, for example, by way of burying powerlines? With government entities making so many investments in techniques aimed at reducing CO2 levels in our county, I wonder how much the protection of powerlines in the name of fire prevention is part of the conversation.
In December of 2020, Oregon’s U.S. senators, Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley, announced new legislation they would be submitting to Congress called the Wildfire Resilient Power Grid Act of 2020. A press release the politicians released on the subject stated the act “would ensure power companies do their part to reduce the risk of wildfires through power system upgrades such as the undergrounding of power lines, fire safety equipment installation and proper vegetation management.” The bill would also establish a “$1 billion-per-year matching grant program for power companies through the Department of Energy to reduce the risk of power lines and grid infrastructure causing wildfires.” —Sarah Glass

Professor Popinjay’s Podium: Why do people like texting?
Free For All News, June 2021
Professor Podium ProfessorPopinjay’s Popinjay’s Podium Mike Ellis asks: Professor Popinjay, Why do people like texting? Dear Mike, About five millennia ago, the Egyptian empire used thousands of tiny pictures to communicate the spoken word. Unfortunately, their typewriters were monstrously complex to the point of being ridiculous. Then the Phoenicians kicked the door in and shut down art class. “Time to start writing like a boss,” is what I assume they shouted as they introduced the phonetic alphabet. Three thousand years later, we are still using the same old boring writing system! LAME! You want to write a letter? Then you have to get ink, and you have to get a quill; you have to get parchment, a signet ring, sealing wax, and, of course, you have to learn that blessed alphabet, have a vocabulary, and a basic understanding of a language. AIN’T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT! But with the advent of the telephone, we decided to tear our school books in half and let our education be damned! Who needs to write letters anymore when we can call a person to talk to them? Yet, the telephone fell to the wayside as well, like so many flash-in-the-pan technologies, as it gradually dawned on us that talking to people is as much of a pain in the butt as dealing with paper cuts on your tongue. If only there were some way we could avoid small talk, formal greetings, and licking envelopes. Or, worst of all, spelling words out to completion! Why should we even have to use words at all!?! Why can’t we use little pictures that clearly indicate our intent? Thus, we have seen the return of the hieroglyphics! We call them emojis.
So, why do people like texting? Perhaps it’s because, instead of painstakingly articulating our thoughts into a comprehensible lexicon, we simply send a picture of a smiley face throwing up. A picture is worth a thousand words, right? The fact of the matter is, texting has its convenient aspects, but these fall away as a conversation becomes more complex. One point of texting etiquette I’ve not often seen listed is knowing when that time comes. Texting is great for getting to the point without a lot of jibber -jabber. If you find you are rewriting War and Peace with your thumbs, perhaps it’s time to give the other person a call, or better yet, send them a copy of Tolstoy’s hefty tome in the mail so they can read it themselves. I wonder, has anyone translated that book into emojis yet? Sincerely, —Professor Popinjay

Bohemia Mining Days Makes “Feuding” Year-Round The COVID-19 cancellation of Bohemia Mining Days last year created a huge financial challenge for the nonprofit organization, which celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2019. The pandemic inspired BMD organizers to find unique and creative ways to diversify their revenue sources to continue producing Cottage Grove's largest annual event for the summertime enjoyment of people of all ages. One of the new revenue generators is the transformation of BMD's Slabtown vs. Lemati Feud into a virtual year-round game that is played online and in person. The goal is to create a friendly "Ducks vs. Beavers" style competition between the two feuding towns that briefly existed in the late 19th Century. The virtual towns have specific geographic boundaries within the South Lane School District (which are not strictly enforced). Two local brew pubs serve as the City Hall/Saloon for their respective town. Each will create a special brew named after its town with a portion of the sales donated to BMD. Each town elects a mayor and town council to plan a monthly fundraiser to support Bohemia Mining Days. Individual and town points are earned from dollars raised and from volunteer hours conducting the monthly fundraisers. Revenue from swag, brew sales and a new year-round Feud Food Fight will create greater financial security for the organization. The BMD Feud Food Fight begins June 10 in cooperation with participating Cottage Grove area eateries, food trucks and coffee stands. Inspired by Food for Lane County's Grilled Cheese Experience, businesses will identify an item on their menu as the BMD Feud Special. When that item is ordered $1 of the price is donated to BMD. Printed passports encourage food adventurers to sample all of the items and enter their completed passport in quarterly prize drawings. The BMD 2021 Production Team invites people of all ages to The Grove for the Inaugural Slabtown vs. Lemati Mine Ore Cart Races, July 17-18, in the historic downtown district. The event also features live music, vendors and activities for children and families. For vendor information call Linda at 541.913.9586. For more information about upcoming events visit www.BohemiaMiningDays.org or call Cindy at 541.942.5064.

We honor that the City of Springfield is built upon the traditional homelands of the Kalapuya peoples; we recognize and celebrate the long and rich history of this area and its peoples, both before the founding and outside the formal boundaries of the City of Springfield. We also express our respect for the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon and the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians of Oregon, whose citizens include the descendants of the Kalapuya people. The purpose of the Springfield A to Z Art Contest and Alphabet Book is to: 1) highlight the beauty and community of Springfield, 2) celebrate local artistic talent, 3) create a children’s alphabet book (to be published in 2022) using the winning art pieces. The Springfield A to Z Alphabet Book will be bilingual (English and Spanish). The book will use the Latin alphabet (A, B, C, etc.). All artworks should correspond with a letter of the Latin alphabet. We will also incorporate ñ and consider other letters based on the quantity and quality of entries for them. For example, you could submit “hazelnut” artwork for H in English or A in Spanish (“avellana”). Indigenous language speakers are also strongly encouraged to submit artwork.

CrosScan is a word search/crossword puzzle hybrid. A CrosScan puzzle consists of a letter block and a list of clues. Answers to the clues are found in the letter block. Each puzzle has a theme, and every answer fits into this theme. When all the words are found and circled, the leftover letters spell out a short quote relating to the theme. For maximum enjoyment, we strongly recommend that you read the instructions be fore beginning.
1.
Visually scan the letter block to discover words. Words can be read backward, forward, up, down, or diagonally. It’s a good idea to look for diagonal words first. NOTE: DO NOT start with Clue #1, #2, etc. That is the hard way. 2. When you find a word, count the number of letters. Then, look at the word list and find the clues which have that same number indicated in parentheses. 3. Determine which clue corresponds to the word you found. Once you have located the clue, write the matching word in the blank space provided to the right of it for future reference. Do not circle a word in the letter block if you can’t find a clue to match it. HINT: Each puzzle contains a “star” in which words coming from all eight directions meet at one central letter.
4.
When all the words are found and circled, the unused letters leftover in the letter block spell out a short quote relating to the theme.
