OKANOGAN VALLEY LIFE
Lots going on in the valley Here we are ten days into a new month. There have been a lot of activities and happenings in the valley and surrounding areas the past few weeks. Have not had an update on Ardith Law, but was told she had major surgery fairly recently and Noble is now in a care center in Port Orchard, Wash. Several friends of Pat Ward had a nice potluck at the United Methodist Church, last Wednesday, to show their love and caring for her in the loss of her husband, Dale, who recently passed away. They had been faithful members for a goodly number of years. Have you ever been to Mt. Hood, Ore. and stayed in one of the beautiful parks? We recently had a family reunion of Emry cousins. Some came from as far away as Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Illinois. We found it very easy to get lost as one of those big Oregon evergreens looks pretty much like the next. Children of the late Dale Emry hosted the event. Have you ever tasted cheese curds? These came from Wisconsin and are so good. I’ve never been able to find them
in stores in our region. My family, in Missouri, had a Kensinger reunion recently and one of the family members sent me photos by way of the internet. For the most part I could only say, they look like nice folks ,who are they? I’ve been away too many years (71) and many were born after my move. But I love ‘em all, who ever they are! I’m sorry for all the turmoil in the high school. We don’t need that. I sincerely hope that Ryan Frazier doesn’t let this matter spoil his desire for teaching. It would seem to me, an outsider, that this episode could have been handled a bit differently, giving those concerned, a time to ask questions (and receive answers) without the “mess” it turned into. I’ve watched Ryan grow from the “long hair” stage, skate boarding in areas where he shouldn’t have, to attending college, making good grades and have been proud of his progress (and told him so). If he wasn’t doing things correctly in his teaching, was he reminded along the way? Did he refuse
to abide by the rules? I don’t know. etc… well folks take note now. The lilies A lack of communication is often at are beautiful and lots of them, as well as the base of a problem. But to wish the many other blooms. Thanks to whom? school goes broke, as one of his family I’m told that the Senior Project is members does, in her letter, shows poor being dropped from the curriculum at judgment in thinking as there are many school…it seemed like a good thing to other students that could be me.

Many have July at our house this year, had a hand in the completion, but the just doing what we felt like doing, when Legion is responsible and I hear the we felt like it.

But isn’t Another senior project was the plant- that what retirement is all about? ing of the flowers on the right of Fox News had some fantastic proway, on entering Oroville, coming from grams called Proud to be an American, the south. I heard many comments this the Fourth which was quite interesting spring, not good ones, because of the learning where the staff is from and weeds, and if they’re gonna start some- their background history. Most felt that thing, why don’t they keep it up, etc. one of the best things about America
is the “opportunities” that are out there to be pursued and it is up to YOU to make the best of it. I am proud to be an American and I have had the opportunity to travel many places both in Europe and Asia and I’ve never found any place to compare with our fantastic country and it makes me very angry to have people from other lands to break their neck to move here (and then try to change our ways to theirs). If you don’t like it here, go back to where you came from. That is one of the good things about America, you are free to come and go. We have great grandsons working at the cherry warehouse. They’re finding out that work seems to interfere with their pleasure, like not getting to sleep late in the mornings and sometimes work long hours. We watched the fireworks display from the Haney household. That way we can see Deep Bay and Taber’s. There were a lot of pops and sparkles and the neighborhood dogs were probably quite happy when all the hoop-la was over. Larry Roberts has been visiting his family here, where he grew up, after returning from his third session in Afghanistan. In chatting with him I find that he kinda likes “living on the edge,” and is most interesting to listen too, telling of his experiences. Ten cars at the laundry mat, at once, must have had those washers and dryers really humming. ‘Til next week.

market. David Mass from Aeneas Valley creates his Clubfoot Adirondack Chairs entirely from recycled wood pallets. They are large and lovely, easily seating two in loveseat fashion. He offers unfinished, stained and painted versions. His picnic table that converts easily into a garden bench is quite versatile and utilitarian. Creative by nature, and keeping busy while on summer break from college, David promises more unique furniture is in the works. Also debuting this season is a delightful young baker. Michelle Laurent is bringing her Mountain Top Bakery goods to market.
TONASKET FARMERS’ MARKET
These long, hot summer days may cause you to wonder if there is anything new under the sun. My friend, Mary Ann Sutton, visiting Tonasket last week from “the other side’’ (a coastie!), asked “Is there anything new at the farmers market?” Hmm... how much time do you have? There’s always something new and different, be it first-time vendors or old veterans bringing new products. Several new vendors were in evidence last week. A grouping of Paul Bunyan sized chairs caught my eye from clear across the

Realizing the need for people who are making healthier choices to still enjoy sweet treats, she offers many organic and glutenfree choices. Last week she sold gluten free blueberry muffins and twinkies, and cream cheese stuffed strawberries. Following the new legislation for farmers’ market baked goods is a hardship for many home bakers, but not so for Michelle. She complies completely by doing all of her baking at The Community Cultural Center, which has a commercial qualified kitchen available for public rental. I succumbed to temptation and tried her date roll, a tasty date, raisin, coconut, seed and nut confection They are as delicious as they are healthy! If you haven’t been to Tonasket Farmers’ Market recently, or even if you have, stop by again. There is always something new and exciting. See you at the market!
