Clayton sold his pickup and I got a cute “little car” that will use less gas and just for the short trips around town. Still watching for the gas station at the tax-free cigarette place south of Oroville to open. Don’t you just hate summer colds? Can’t remember when I last had one but I guess this is just to remind me that I’m not exempt. In my stash of “stuff’ it says there is no word in the English language that rhymes with month, orange, silver or purple. If you doubt that, find one and let me know. The annual Heritage Days celebra-
tion was held last week end and there seemed to be a good turn-out. Pie and ice cream were served on the veranda of the museum and there seemed to be a steady line-up for that. The day was hot and not conducive to walking out in the sun for very long, so I came home and watched the Mariner’s game, as the afore mentioned cold was taking over at that time. It just ceases to amaze me at the strangers that come up to me and say, “Hey, thank you for writing in the paper. You’re the reason I take it.” I do sincerely thank the readers who enjoy my bits and pieces. I like doing it and strive to not make errors, but sometimes do. So bear with me and I’ll continue on ‘til my old brain and fingers won’t do the job anymore. What a pleasant surprise when Melvin Gallagher brought to our house, field ripened tomatoes, my first of the season. And some other garden delights including a wonderful head of cabbage. It is so

The temperatures have risen and shown us that summer is definitely here. I hope all our members are staying cool in these hot days. We would like to thank all the volunteers that helped out this last Saturday at the beer garden during the tractor pulls. It is volunteers like them and others for our events that keep this club one of the best around. There will be bingo this Friday at 7 p.m., so make sure to come join us for an evening of good fun. The kitchen will be open at
5:30 p.m. for those wishing to come and try one of our delicious 1/3 pound hamburgers. Saturday at 9 pm will be karaoke by Linda Wood. Break out those new moves you have been trying out and come on down and show them off and enjoy the music. On Sunday at 1 pm our weekly pinochle tournament will be going. There is always room for another player at one of the tables. Another reminder that on Aug. 3 we will be having our annual Eagle’s picnic up at the Bonaparte lake Resort.

Mery will be doing karaoke later that evening at the picnic, so make sure to stay and enjoy it with us and save a dollar or two to donate to him for supplying the entertainment.

Ken Coble is continuing to recover at home. Our heart felt wishes go out to Irv and Barbie Freimuth. After a quick dash to the west side for an extended family reunion I am back and trying to catch up. What a great time visiting with my old friends. I have known some of these people for around 61 years. We have had good times and bad times as most families do. It is time to start getting ready for the “Hot August Nights” on Saturday, Aug. 31. Get your vehicle ready for the show. Until next week.
Summer is here and the warmth is feeling pretty good. I know we complain about the rain but we need it to make things grow. It is great to still have the green of spring with us. The fields in our area are being cut and bailed. The smell of fresh cut hay is very refreshing. That is unless you have hay fever. It is only days away for the Molson School Reunion Picnic at Lost Lake on Saturday, July 27 starting around noon with the picnic at 1 p.m. It should be a great day.

it as far as the paper. The riderless horse information should have read like this – Harry Leslie entered the Arena leading a Riderless Horse in memory of Laddy Hirst who helped with small sports. He was known for his smile and encouragement of young children to “Get out there and have fun.” Kathryn Leslie preceded him carrying an American Flag in tribute to all of our past and present Veterans who have fought for our freedom.

sweet we just cut wedges from it and eat it with a sprinkle of salt. This happened because he reads my column. I sincerely thank him and his truck was hardly out of the drive way until I had bread in the toaster and fixed a tomato sandwich... and that was for my breakfast. I wonder if tempers have cooled a bit, since the tree removal of the big, old trees on the east side of the elementary school. I have no comment. And those who oppose the renewal of Enloe Dam probably were disgruntled when learning of the permit being given for 50 years. All I know is when I came here the dam was functioning, (serving Oroville with power, so we were told) and the fish were swimming over it and the road to get to the dam was very scary to this Missouri hillbilly that was used to flat roads. Right or wrong I guess it will proceed…after many more permits are issued and denied.

Do you love a bargain? I sure do, and I found many of them Thursday afternoon at Tonasket Farmers’ Market. Mariah Cornwoman has her “Heart of the Hills” seed packets on sale. We picked up lettuce seed to keep our salad garden going. These seeds will still be good for planting next year and there are many varieties available, including ten types of heirloom tomatoes. Cornwoman also sells fresh herbs, and plants such as Paulownia and Carpathian walnut. How about free, my favorite

TONASKET MARKET REPORT price? Fred Fowler offers free advice along with his scrumptious melons. To choose a ripe cantaloupe, look for a bright area around the stem and use your nose to detect the aroma. In a ripe crenshaw melon, the pale yellow skin evens out as it ripens and it becomes smooth to the touch. If it is greenish and wrinkly, allow more time to ripen. I always just ask Fred to choose for me and he never misses. The crenshaw taken to a picnic on Sunday was perfectly ripe and as sweet as candy. In addition to melons, the Fowlers have three varieties of

Pinochle Scores: The door proze was won by Leonard Paulson who also was the high scoring man. High scoring lady was Evelyn Dull; most pinochles was won by Neoma Vandiver. I made a mistake last week on who my partner was when we had 1,000 aces. My partner was Coralie Vansant, not Evelyn Dull. They accused me of forgetting who my partner was that night. They were right. More next time. potatoes, Walla Walla and redwing onions, Swiss chard, eggplant, zucchini, cukes, and tomatoes. What happens when you get to the market and realize you left your reusable shopping bags at home? Stop and see market manager, Margie, at the information booth. She has free loaner bags. The cloth bags, an alternative to plastic throw-aways were sewn by Kathy Johnson, TFM board member, and colorfully decorated by Tonasket students in Carol Lanigan’s outreach program, as a “Go Green” project. Need a bag? Borrow one and bring it back next week. Look for free tastes of cheeses and fruits from many vendors. Always free are the friendly greetings and smiles from friends old and new, all the buyers and sellers at Triangle Park. See you at the market!
