“Fight The Bite”

Sixteen members of theBoardman Quilt Club recently weretreated to a two-day seminar bypublished author, Don Linn fromRedding, California. The theme ofthe seminar was “Trapunto”, aform of decorative machine quilt-ing. The Italian word, “trapunto”means stuffing, which is what theclass was all about. The studentsalso learned about free motion ma-chine quilting on their own sewingmachine, as opposed to hiringsomeone to complete their quiltswith a “long arm machine”.

The intensive seminar requiredhomework prior to the classes,learning how to transfer patternsto a quilt using a marking method.The first day of the seminar was allabout learning the techniques, andthe second day was dedicated toeach quilter’s personal project --table runner, pillow top (case) etc.

“It boils down to practice,” saysLinn. “Today they are doing thingsI bet they thought they could neverdo!”

Don Linn’s quilting career be-gan 17 years ago when his wife,Donna made him attend a quiltshow in Gold Beach, Oregon whilethey were on vacation. He becameintrigued with the machinery andcreativeness. Although his back-ground was in upholstery, hesplurged, purchasing a $10,000quilting machine and spent six

months learning how to run it.Since then, he has written and pub-lished three books been featuredon Internet Quilt Shows and na-tional television on Home & Gar-den TV (HGTV). Linn and his wifestay in their fifth wheel when theyare holding seminars, usually inOregon and California. However,he has flown to Michigan to teachand plans a seminar in Arizona nextyear. Linn goes by the name “Mr.Quilt” on his Email(mrquilt@sbcglobal.net) and evenhis license plate reads: “Mr. Quilt”.Visit his website: www.mrquilt.com

to see some of his expertise. Healso does custom machine quilting.Local quilter Mildred Baker hadheard of Linn, purchased one ofhis books, and spearheaded theseminar.

Coming up in October, theBoardman Quilt Club will hold theirannual Quilt Show at the Port ofMorrow: October 12 & 13. Thegroup also makes “comfort quilts”for Home Health, displaced chil-dren and patients at the ColumbiaRiver Ranch. Donations of fabricand sewing decorative items arealways welcome.

Oregon CulturalTrust releases 2011annual report

April 2, 2012 — Salem, ORE. TheOregon Cultural Trust’s annual re-port for Fiscal Year 2011 (July 1,2010 — June 30, 2011) has beenpublished. The report details theTrust’s finances, programs anddonors, and includes profiles offunded projects undertaken byLive Wire!, Columbia River Mari-time Museum, and the WhitesideTheater, among last year’s grant-ees.

In FY2011, the Trust distributed$1.45 million in 97 grants to culturalnonprofits, county and tribal coa-litions and statewide cultural agen-cies, based on the FY2010 incomeof $3.8. In FY2011, Over 20,000Oregonians contributed to theTrust, taking advantage of thestate’s unique cultural tax credit,which encourages cultural sup-porters to increase their giving tothe arts, heritage and humanities.

Contributions to the Trust in-creased by 5.3% in FY 2011 over2010, from $3.7 million to almost$3.9 million.

Trust chairman Bob Speltzfound the 2011 annual report en-couraging. “I’m heartened to seemore than 20,000 Oregonians sup-porting arts, heritage and humani-ties. This report chronicles their in-creasing generosity despite a chal-lenging economy and underscorestheir commitment to the communi-ties that define what it means to bean Oregonian,”said Speltz.

“In good times and bad, cultureenriches our communities and ourlives. The Cultural Trust invests inevery corner of our state — thanksto the involvement of thousandsof Oregonians. This report sharesjust a few of the hundreds of amaz-ing stories we have to share,” saidChristine D’Arcy, the Trust’s ex-ecutive director, about annual re-port.

Trust Manager Kimberly

Howard pointed out that contribu-tions received by June 30 increasethe amount of money the Trust candistribute as grants in July. “Theamazing thing about the CulturalTrust is that every Oregonian,through her or his donation beforeJune 30th, has the opportunity tocontribute to the success ofprojects like these,” said Howard.

Since Oregon’s cultural taxcredit took effect in December 2002,23,380 Oregonians have contrib-uted over $28 million to the Cul-tural Trust; over $11 million hasbeen distributed in grants state-wide; and $17 million remains in apermanent Trust fund.

Link to 2011 Oregon CulturalTrust Annual Report: http://www.culturaltrust.org/news/publi-cations-archive

The Oregon Cultural Trust is aninnovative, statewide private-pub-lic program that raises money tosupport and protect Oregon’s arts,humanities and heritage. In addi-tion to building a long-term, pro-tected endowment, the Trust dis-tributes funds annually throughthree grant programs.

Donors to the Trust are eligiblefor a 100% Oregon income tax creditfor contributions of up to $500 forindividuals, $1,000 for couples fil-ing jointly and $2,500 for corpora-tions. To motivate Oregonians toincrease direct giving to culturalgroups, Trust donors must alsomake matching gifts to one or moreof 1,300 cultural nonprofits in or-der to claim the tax credit. SinceOregon’s cultural tax credit tookeffect in December 2002, 17,000donors have contributed over $22million to the Trust; more than $9million has been distributed ingrants statewide; and the endow-ment stands at $12 million.

CORVALLIS, Ore. — A soil ther-mometer is a gardener’s best friendas spring approaches and it’s timeto plant cool-season vegetablessuch as peas, kale, fava beans andradishes.

“With a thermometer, no guesswork is needed. Soil temperature isthe best indicator of when to planteach type of vegetable, no matterwhat climate zone you live in,” saidAnnie Chozinski, Oregon StateUniversity vegetable researcher.

Crops that germinate in thecoolest soils (down to 40 degreesF) include arugula, fava beans, kale,lettuce, pak choi, parsnips, peas,radicchio, radishes and spinachseed. When the soil temperaturereaches above 50 degrees, Chinesecabbage, leeks, onions, Swisschard, and turnips can join them inthe garden.

At 60 degrees you can sowwarm-season vegetables such asbeans, beets, broccoli, Brusselssprouts, cabbage, carrots and cau-

Is it time to plant vegetables? Askyour soil thermometer

liflower. But watch weather fore-casts — beans will not toleratefrost and may have to beplanted twice if the tempera-ture goes below freezing.

Wait until the soil warmsto above 70 degrees to plantwarm-season vegetablessuch as tomatoes, eggplants,peppers, cucumbers, squash,corn and melons. It can takeseveral weeks for tomatoes,eggplant and peppers to ger-minate in the garden. You canget a jump on the season,however, if you buy them al-ready started from your localgarden center. On the other hand,squash, cucumbers and corn growquickly and are easy to start fromseed.

To ensure success with early-season vegetable gardening,Chozinski advises buying cold-tol-erant or short-season varieties.OSU vegetable breeders have de-veloped many varieties well suited

to Oregon gardens. If you justcan’t wait to plant, warm the soil

with plastic mulch and use a cloche,fabric row cover or cold frame.

Be prepared to carefully coveryour plants with burlap, plastic oran old blanket or sheet if a hardfreeze is forecast. Even a crop that’sgerminated and starting to growcan be ruined by a late frost.Author: Judy ScottSource: Annie Chozinski

For the last two weeks in April,Sam Boardman Elementary Stu-dents learned principles of designsuch as rhythm, balance, propor-tion, and texture. Ceramic Artist InResidence, Annie Herron, encour-aged them to put their new knowl-edge to work designing unique 5”square glazed ceramic tiles.

Most of the finished tiles willbe placed near the school entryadjacent to the Butterfly Garden.Second and third graders madeceramic dragonflies, bees, butter-flies, caterpillars, fish, starfish,snails and other sea creatures,which will be combined in a 3’ x 10’art work on the entry wall.

Riverside High School art stu-dents were very helpful. They

Sam Boardman Elementary studentscreate unique ceramic tiles

rolled the raw clay to the properthickness and cut the clay into 5”squares. Younger students cre-ated tiles with alphabet and num-ber designs. Art of the youngerchildren will be placed in an inte-rior hallway, and lead to the en-trance for the Girls and Boys Bath-rooms.

All grade levels followed thesame instructions: Draw a designon a 5” square piece of paper; Cutout the paper design for a stencil,then use the stencil to cut out thedesign on a thinner piece of clay.Attach thinner clay shape to theflat 5” tile, add embellishments, andfire it in the kiln.

After the first firing, the stu-dents applied two coats of colored

glaze and the tiles were fired a sec-ond time. The kiln is small, and itwill take some time for all the tilesto bake, and cool completely be-fore removal.

Making the tiles was a complexproject. Artist Annie Herron wasworking with 300 students perweek. The students and theirteachers worked together and gavetheir best effort. All are looking toseeing the final products in place.Be sure to watch Sam BoardmanElementary on Wilson Road for thefinished art project.

Funding for the two week Art-ist In Residency was provided byNorth Morrow Community Foun-dation with support from MorrowCounty Cultural Coalition.

Artist in Residence Annie Herron encouraged the students while they were drawing the design forthe glazed ceramic tiles they made. The tiles can be seen at Sam Boardman Elementary.

Folks of Eastern Oregon,On behalf of the city of Irrigon, I

would like to invite all communities ofEastern Oregon to join us on May 9,2012. That is the day we have desig-nated as the first annual RAK-Day inIrrigon. This will be a day to do A Ran-dom Act of Kindness - hopefully - forsomeone you don’t even know. As thefrequency and viciousness of violenceoccur in our society, we often feel nearlyhelpless to stop it or slow it down. Itpermeates almost every facet of oursociety from computer games to mov-ies to social media to domestic violenceto our schools.

This random act does not have tobe extravagant or expensive either. Itcan be just as simple as buying some-one a cup of coffee, or giving someonea flower. Just stop someone and say“hello”, how are you today”, or com-pliment someone who does a good jobor is friendly and kind..beleive me; itwill make you feel just as good as theperson receiving the random act. It mayseem like such a small thing to do, butif enough of us join in - we might justbegin to change things a bit. So then,what are you going to do that day?David BurnsIrrigon, Oregon
