Celebrating the Great Outdoors
by Dan Bosserman
nd what better place could you ask for to celebrate the Great
Outdoors than Sandy, Oregon? The theme of the 2014 Sandy
Mountain Festival parade is a reflection of the president’s proclamation of the last week in June as America’s Great Outdoors week,
and it’s highly appropriate in our town.
Sandy Mountain Days has many and varied aspects, of course, and
probably few participants get around to all of them. Everyone who
attends has his or her favorite—sometimes to the exclusion of all others—and some will argue forcefully that theirs is the most significant.
Five-Generation Queen’s Court
Arguably the Queen’s Court has the strongest argument, not only
because the Court is chosen each year before any other activity takes
place, but also because it’s the most venerable institution involved,
harking back to the days when the first settlers would select a king
and queen at their annual Pioneer’s Picnic.
This year Donna Vedder is Queen. A graduate of Sandy High School,
Donna has lived in Sandy since 1936. She works as a church secretary
at the Community Church of Sandy and has volunteered at local schools
and at the Senior Center serving meals. She has been active in her church
all her life and has also helped make quilts for the community center.
Queen Donna is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the history
of Sandy, and it’s a pleasure to listen to her stories. Her late husband
and her son work for the United States Post Office. Her mother was
a Princess in 1983. She is honored to be on the Court this year and
happy to represent her lifelong home and to let people know what a
wonderful community it is.
Princess #1, Barb Clare, is very happy to be a part of the Queen’s
Court. She says her proudest accomplishments are raising her children.
She works for Clackamas County Bank and is a member of Sandy
Kiwanis and Chamber Career Education committee.
Princess #2, Lisa Martinez, volunteers for the American Cancer
Society and is Chair for Sandy Relay for Life. Lisa leads two weight
support classes at the Mt. Hood Athletic Club, is a custom cake designer,
and works part time for Vanguard Restoration. Princess Lisa is an avid
crafter and volunteers at Cedar Ridge middle school.
Princess #3, Rebekah Rutledge, is an active participant in the SHS Key
Club and FFA. Rebekah is a peer tutor and volunteers in community

events and the Oregon Food Bank.
She was the chair of the 2014 Donkey Basketball fund raiser at SHS.
Princess Rebekah is in advanced
AP classes and received both the
scholastic award and the Pioneer
Achievement award.
Princess #4, Isabelle Manzano,
says her proudest accomplishments
are getting good grades and being
on the team for the Oregon Battle of
the Books. She also has been on two
mission trips to Mexico to special
needs orphanages. Princess Isabelle
loves acting and helps with Compassion Sandy, the Kiwanis Fly- in
Cruise-In, and at a retirement home
for assisted living.
What about the parade?
Come and enjoy a true hometown parade, sponsored by Clackamas County Bank. Horses, antique
cars, floats, marching groups and
of course our own five-generation
Queen’s Court and Bear and Mountain Man will all be there. As part of
the fun during the Sandy Mountain
Festival our traditional parade will
be held Thursday, July 10 starting
and have a
chance to win...

some in the parade, but due to noncompliance of past parade rules,
there will be absolutely no throwing
or handing out of any kind allowed
along the parade route.
The Festival Committee has
had no choice but to put this rule
in place. Do not distribute ANYTHING along the parade route.
This includes spraying the crowd
with water or any other liquids or
confetti. Do not even bring them
with you.
Any entrant that does not follow
this rule will be removed from the
at 7:00 p.m.
This event draws over 5,000
parade watchers from all over the
local area. Many people save there
spot for the best viewing days in
advance by staking a spot with
lawn chairs, benches, blankets and
whatever else they can use. So don’t
wait until parade time to arrive if
you want a spot for one of the best
parades around.
Some unfortunate restrictions
In past parades, there was quite
a bit of interaction between participants and onlookers, including
distribution of candy and favors by

Locally Based • Serving Oregon/ Washington
by Katrina Aman
t was my 20th birthday a
few months ago—I’m getting old—and everyone was
asking me what I wanted for my
birthday really got me thinking.
Each time I heard the question, I
said “nothing.”
The thing is— I really meant
it. It wasn’t the sneak-attackpretend-to-be-humble and say
“nothing,” really wanting loads
of lovely prizes. I just genuinely
didn’t need or want anything.
I’m learning more that the most
important things to me are experiences, not material possessions.
I’d far rather use the money
someone would spend on buying
me a gift on a travel experience.
Pretty jewelry? No thanks. How
about Scotland? I have too much
stuff anyway. I own too many
clothes, too much jewelry, too
many shoes, too many books.
I have too much of everything,
and this isn’t even the stuff that
makes me happy. British trend
forecaster James Wallman has created a new term for what I’ve been
struggling with—“stuffocation”—
and I think it’s the perfect term.
I’ve definitely been suffering from
stuffocation recently.
I decided to fight back against
this struggle and got rid of a lot
of the stuff—stuff I couldn’t even
remember I had. I’m not sure
how I attained so much stuff and
I regretfully did. I think that generally, society teaches us that the
more things we have, the more
successful we are. And the more
successful we are, the happier we
should be.
However, surely a truly rich
life should be full of experiences
and enriching events rather than
a bunch of stuff that we have little
use for. In my reducing-of-stuff
spree, I found a waterproof towel
and a solar powered flashlight.
Really, Katrina—really?

to have stuff in order to feel successful and stated, “The connection between our stuff and our
self-esteem is a two-way street: If
we become less materialistic, our
well-being will improve. If our
well-being improves, we tend to
be less materialistic.”
Material possessions definitely
haven’t made me happy and since
travel has become such an important part of my life, I’ve come to
see that this is on the top of the
list of importance to me. Having
more things doesn’t equal more
happiness. I want to spend my
money on traveling.
I might see my friends and
note how fabulous one of their
handbags or how pretty someone’s hair is since they had that
expensive new cut and color. For
a few seconds, I might wish that
was me, but ultimately I know
that these things wouldn’t make
me happy.
I’ve learned most of my major
life lessons through travel and
experiences it brings. I’ve learned
to be more confident, to stand on
my own two feet, and that I’m
more resilient than I ever thought
possible. Through traveling, I’ve
felt more alive.
I recently purchased a plane
ticket—very spontaneously and
maybe quite irresponsibly—to
which my mom gave me the
usual lecture on growing up and
saving my money. I am thankful
for her concern. Still, in a world
that tells me that I need more
stuff, I just want my passport
stamped. In a world that commands that my identity to be
in my bank account, I plan to
travel to make memories, to grow
deeply, and to feel more alive.
Students enter safe driving contest
Students from Lake Oswego,
Sandy, and Rex Putnam high
schools won the top three spots
in the Posters and Coasters Safe
Driving Media Contest sponsored
by Clackamas County Safe Communities.
Students were asked to create
art work or written messages that
promote safe driving to reach
out to others in the community.
Art work or written messages
were based on risk factors such
as speed, distracted driving, or
impaired driving—or on prevention strategies such as seat belt
use, parent support, or graduated
driver licenses.
Ninety-eight Clackamas
County high school students
submitted entries, which were
judged by a panel led by Patty
McMillan, Clackamas County
Safe Communities Program.
McMillan said, “We were overwhelmed by the high quality of
the submissions. Our judges had
a difficult job.”
First Place: Melody Xu, a
sophomore at Lake Oswego High
School, with “Keep Your Eyes on
the Road,” reminding drivers to
keep their attention on the road.
Second Place: Karlee Edwards,
a sophomore at Sandy High
School, with “Life is a Gift – Wrap
it in Safety,” reminding drivers
and occupants to buckle up and
stay safe.
Third Place: Ellen Scharff, a
freshman at Rex Putnam High
School with “With Great Power,
Comes Great Responsibility –
Drive Safe,” reminding drivers to
be dutiful and dependable.
Clackamas Town Center
provided gift cards for the top
three winners in the amount of
$300, $200 and $100. The seven
“Honorable Mention” awardees
received cash prizes of $50 each
provided by State Farm Insurance. The posters may be viewed
at www.ClackamasSafeCommunities.org under RESOURCES

This was the third safe driving contest sponsored by Safe

Mt. Hood Safety Project that began
on June 23 and is to continue until
October 31, 2016.
K&E Excavating began work
on the U.S. 26 Mt. Hood Safety
Project starting Monday, June 23.
Work on the rock slopes require
placing a temporary concrete
barrier along a 1.5-mile section of
U.S. 26. The contractor expects to
place the barrier late June or early
July of 2014. This means there
will be just one single lane open
in each direction around-the-clock
until October 31, 2015 along this
1.5-mile stretch.

work and blasting schedules
started emerging. at an open house
from 5 to 7 p.m., Tuesday, June
24, at the Resort at the Mountain,
68010 East Fairway Avenue,
Welches. A virtual online open
house was updated in late June at
www.US26MtHoodSafety.org.
Other traffic impacts in addition to the around-the-clock lane
closure noted above:
Blasting the rock-slopes will require up-to 1 hour closures of
U.S. 26 three days a week Monday
through Thursday between 5:30
p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Blasting is not
expected to start until July.

Hidden charges?
by Teresa Hutchens
Goodman Sanitation, Inc.
y washer was dying –
time to buy a new one
– so I went shopping
– the price ranges were dramatic
– so when I found one for $289.00
– wow – compared features – then
it was $798.00 or $289.00 – of
course $289.00 won out – when
can you deliver? delivery day
came – took out the old washer
– installed the new one – turned
the water on – HOORAY !
Then the delivery guy presented me with a bill: $50 for
delivery cost, $25 to haul away
the old washer, $19 for the new
hoses – would I like to use my
M
credit card ? (on file from when
I purchased the washer) or write
a check – WHAT – the salesman
didn’t say anything about extra
charges.
I heard $289.00 firm – the
delivery guy didn’t argue – bless
him as I was fit to be tied – slowly
and carefully brought out a copy
of the delivery order with my signature – and right there in black
and white were the extra charges
that I acknowledged. I still only
heard $289.00 – really -$289.00.
My lesson that I brought back to
the office: I REPEAT everything
– two sometimes three times—
and write down the customer’s
answers and attach the question-
naire to the invoice.
Hopefully, there are no surprises when our customer is
presented with the invoice /
billing. Like any company ( in
these still hard, economic times
) we get price shoppers, bangfor- your-buck types, people on
fixed incomes, buyers and sellers
of homes and realtors, the I-justneed-to-pump-my-tank-NOW
type. “Don’t care about the cost,
be here in the next hour.”
I ask the same questions each
and every time – quote the same
prices – each and every time. My
hope is that you know that there
are not HIDDEN charges, and
didn’t just hear $289.00. So if
you shop around ( you’re not a
loyal customer yet ?) listen to everything that’s said – the questions
that are asked – repeat back the
answers – confirm pricing, then
talk to friends, family, co-workers,
and neighbors ( remember they
have septic tanks ) get referrals
– even if all you’re doing is pumping your septic tank, because we
can do that, our motto “ For All
Things Septic” is really true, and
we would love to prove it to you.

ell, that’s it—summer
is here. Where I now
live has a beautiful
garden, including strawberries.
At first I thought: “Great!” Now
I feel like we are drowning in
those red berries.
Of course, it is the season
for them. The Boring Grange
just had their strawberry waffle
breakfast (including a real-live
waffle mascot), there are strawberry stands all around where I
live, and of course, strawberries
in the produce section. I decided
I am determined to have a pantry
full of home-made goodness, so
I set out to can some strawberry
jam. I know what you’re thinking, “freezer jam.” But I want the
kind in the JAR.
I picked and hulled and
cleaned and cut and boiled and
sugared and then VOILA: jam.
Only cost me twenty bucks for
the jars. Wait, isn’t it about a
dollar for a jar twice this size?
Oh well, it will taste good on
biscuits this fall. I hope.
Now I am looking at the
pumpkin vines and realizing
that will be a bumper crop, too.
Guess I better get some bigger
jars.
Take a break from berry picking this summer to enjoy local
culture. You know the drill: get
out there and support the arts.
Go on, you will like it!
Timber Festival starts things

Sandy Music Fair and Feast
Antony and Cleopatra in Meinig Park July 6
by Katie Murphy
Experience the magic of outdoor theater in the enchanting
setting of Meinig Park’s Theaterin-the-Woods. The Portland Actors Ensemble (PAE) will return
to Sandy this year to perform
Antony and Cleopatra. PAE has
been performing classical theater
in the Portland area since 1970.
This will be their fifth year bringing Shakespeare to Sandy.
Describing the play as a culture clashing, political love story,
director Elizabeth Huffman draws
on her Arabic roots, her lifelong
fascination with Roman history
and an avid interest in today’s
multicultural landscape to examine Shakespeare’s most complex
adult love story.
For this production she weaves
together elements of three periods
of time: the ancient world of the
play, the Shakespearean world
that it was written in, and the
modern world that we live in
now to illuminate the themes and
questions embedded in the play:
What happens when two powerful rulers from vastly different
cultures, ideologies and political
agendas dare to fall in love? Is it
romantic destiny or political suicide? Have we changed the way
we deal with that question today?
The play features live Arabic
and contemporary music, an
outstanding international cast, a
mystical Soothsayer, and a stel-
ARTS
lar design team. Meinig Park is
a ten acre park located at 17670
Meinig Ave. The Theater in the
Woods is the smaller of the two
stages in the SE area of the park,
near the beautiful log gazebo.
Bench seating is provided, and
although there is no room for
lawn chairs, you are welcome to
bring a cushion or stadium chair
for comfort. The show begins at
6:00 p.m.and in years past the
seating filled up quickly, so be
sure to arrive early.
The performance is free to all,
although donations are gratefully accepted. The show will go
on, rain or shine. Call the Sandy
Community Center for more
information: (503) 668-5569.
July 19 & 20
runs July 10-13 at the downtown
Sandy Centennial Plaza. Listen
to live music, watch dancing or
a local talent show, and, course,
there is all the eating and drinking. Parade on July 10. Free.
Art Walk is no more, but all
hail the City of Gresham Arts
Festival! Same great event with
a new name and a new sponsor:
The City of Gresham. The Arts
Festival features 120 artisans,
live music, kid’s activities, food
booths, and Farmer’s Market.
Saturday, July 19, starting at
10AM. Free.

Lessons from Equine Veterinary Practice in East County
Dry-Coat
by Katharine Mertens, DVM
ontinuing the discussion
of sweating anomalies in
horses, this month we
turn to the case where horses lose
the ability to sweat. Medically
this condition is known as “anhidrosis” but these non-sweating
horses are more commonly
known as dry-coat horses.
I’ll try to paint a picture of
what it looks like; what causes
it; and what can be done about
it. “What it looks like” can vary
from partial to complete lack of
sweating. Anhidrosis can happen to any age, breed, or gender,
although there have been reports
of greater prevalence among
dark-colored thoroughbreds. It
can appear in horses at work or
at rest. The most common theme
for affected horses is that they are
living in a hot, humid climate.
Because sweating is the primary cooling system for the
horse, internal heat stress rises as
the ability to sweat falls. This heat
stress will be evident anywhere
along a spectrum of lethargy
and reluctance to work in hot
weather; to rapid, heavy breathing and increased heart rate; to
potentially (under extreme stress)
fatal collapse.
Many “dry coat” horses retain
a partial ability to sweat, still
getting wet under the mane,
C
bridle, and saddle area, as well
as “armpits” and groin. But these
horses will be noticeably drier
than their normal counterparts,
who glisten throughout their
entire neck, chest, and body.
If you’re riding, you may
notice that your horse starts
breathing extra hard without
producing sweat. If your horse
is at rest in the pasture, he’ll be
the one separating from the herd
to seek shade. In later years,
my bay Thoroughbred became
partially anhidrotic. He sought
not only shade but the shadiest
water trough, splashing himself
cool as much as possible.
The causes of anhidrosis are
still under research, but suffice it
to say that there is a disruption in
sweat stimulus for these horses,
not just sweat components like
electrolytes. I have found that
viewing electrolyte depletion as
the cause seems to be the most
prevalent misconception about
anhidrosis. These are horses
on good nutrition with healthy
kidneys retaining adequate electolytes—they just don’t sweat.
(Electrolyte depletion, on the
other hand, will occur after
excessive fluid loss such as prolonged sweating, diarrhea, or
bleeding. And electrolyte depleted horses have significant
changes in muscle and nerve
function.)
Sweating in horses is par-
tially regulated by the nervous
system, as we touched upon
last month. We discussed the
example of sedatives, which
intentionally disrupt nerve transmission, causing spontaneous
sweat. The other system which
regulates sweating is the endocrine system, where hormones
act on so-called “beta-receptors”
at the sweat gland.
The most supported theory of
anhidrosis is that these beta-receptors are de-activated, through
overstimulation and/or reduced
sensitivity to hormone. Think of
an exhaustion principle: horses
living in hot, humid climates
(especially ones who move there
from colder climates) are subject
to such sustained hormonal sweat
stimulus (due to their environment requiring continuous cooling) that their sweat glands are
eventually exhausted. The gland
stops responding to the sweat
hormone adequately, if at all.
One reason this theory is wellaccepted is that it explains why
changing the horse’s surroundings is the most effective treatment for the condition. Many
anhidrotic horses do not recover
their ability to sweat until they
are moved to a cooler climate, or
until the cooler season arrives.
Meanwhile, anhidrotic horses
are best managed by trying to
limit their heat exposure as much
as possible—their exercise is
limited to cool hours of the day,
for example, and they are stabled
with plenty of shade and cooling
breezes (with fans, if necessary). It is especially important
that these horses are adequately
cooled off with water baths if they
do get overheated.
Oral supplements are available
to help manage anhidrosis. The
best of these include building
blocks for the hormone that acts
on the beta-receptor at the sweat
gland. But so far, we do not have
a treatment that restores betareceptor function itself. The best
approach seems to be reducing
the need for cooling, so that
the beta-receptors can rest and
recover normal function.
With our more temperate
climate for much of the year, the
Pacific Northwest is not a hotbed
of anhidrosis. But it can happen
here, as it did with my horse long
after retirement. A veterinary
exam will help you rule out other
causes for respiratory distress,
as well as monitor nutrition and
kidney health. Once a diagnosis
of anhidrosis is reached, your
veterinarian is best equipped to
help you help your horse.

Family Finances
Family Camp Isn’t About the Money
by Maxine Marsolini
“Few people really think much
about leaving a legacy of faith
to the future generations of their
family, but that is one of our most
important tasks while on earth.”
– Jim Burns, Confident Parenting,
Bethany House, 2007, p. 163
t the invite of close
friends, twenty-something years ago, our family began attending family camp
every summer. Mount Hermon
was our first experience, but
that’s all it took to get hooked.
All of us were blessed with time
for ourselves, adult and kid
Christian teachings, and family
time together.
Sandcastle building, salmon
dinners, long walks on the beach,
sitting around just talking with
one another and having fun together. I’ve many fond memories
of summer family camps. Until
I tried this kind of vacation, I
didn’t understand the value to
be found. Like most families,
there’s little time to give undivided attention to growing more
like Jesus while trying to make a
living and running the kids to all
sorts of activities.
A
As the kids grew up, married,
and began families of their own,
and grandchildren arrived to
bless our lives, family camp is
the one tradition that’s kept us all
gathering together, once a year,
in the same place. Cannon Beach
(75 miles northwest of Portland,
OR) is our personal choice now
because of its reasonable driving
distance for everyone.
than one way to take part in a
Christian family camp. The most
reasonable cost is found through
local churches that also host a
family summer camp.
Ask around. This option is
loaded with just as much fun,
but often requires participants
to bring their own camping
gear and tent or RV. Still, there’s
no skimping on games, crafts,
Yes, money has to be a consideration...
But there is more than one way to take
part in a Christian family camp. The
most reasonable cost is found through
local churches that also host a family
summer camp.
The location is such that once
the car is parked there’s no need to
climb back in for an entire week.
Everything is within walking
distance. The kids beg to come
back each year. They delight in
their age-appropriate groups and
dedicated camp leaders, who
have creative nicknames that fit
each personality. Visit www.cbcc.
net for more information.
Yes, money has to be a consideration. There’s no way to
do most things without a price
tag attached. But there is more
spiritual growth, fellowship, or
good wholesome together time
in the great outdoors.
The last church camp we attended was at Fish Lake campground in the scenic mountains
of southern Oregon. A couple
families brought boats to share.
Many people chose to swim in
the lake, go fishing, or skiing.
There were morning walks and
Bible teachings, roasting marshmallows and singing songs,
playing games and making crafts,
and of course sharing meals. Ev-
erybody sported smiles on their
faces and Jesus in their hearts.
Locations like Mt. Hermon,
CA, and Cannon Beach, OR, offer
a variety of accommodations and
prices to pick from. And both locations offer scholarships to help
with costs. Most families find an
option that fits their budget well.
Family camp weeks are from Saturday to Saturday, back-to-back,
throughout the summer.
Whatever your financial circumstances, I’d urge you to think
beyond the dollars and discover
the blessings to be gained from
a week full of Christ-centered
family fun.
“Let the heavens rejoice, let the
earth be glad; let the sea resound,
and all that is in it; let the fields be
jubilant, and everything in them.
Then all the trees of the forest will
sing for joy; they will sing before the
Lord ...” Psalm 96:11-13a NIV

The culinary traveler
Steak à la Jim Beam
By Kurt Winner
n honor of the Independence
Day, and being the patriotic
guy I am, I have a nice recipe
using good old American-made
Jim Beam® Bourbon. After all,
who wouldn’t want some delicious Jim Beam with their steaks?
So let’s start with a little bit of
background
Frederick “ Fred” Booker Noe
III, Master Distiller, son of the
I
late Frederick “Booker” Noe Jr.,
Master Distiller Emeritus, and
great grandson of Jim Beam, is a
seventh-generation distiller and
keeper of a family flame that has
burned for more than 200 years.
Frederick Booker Noe III was
born on March 9, 1957, in Bardstown, Ky., the Bourbon capital of
the world. He grew up in the very
same house his great grandfather,
the legendary Jim Beam, had once
lived in. Understandably, his early
years were steeped in whiskey culture. Listening to his father’s tales
of his famous family, he learned
to appreciate and understand the
craft of whiskey making.
Upon graduation from Bellarmine College in 1983, Fred
began work at the Jim Beam Clermont distillery on the bottling
line. Under his father’s tutelage,
Fred learned every aspect of the
bourbon-making process, including grain selection, fermentation,
and distillation.
In the early 1990s, Fred began
to play an important role in the
development and promotion of
The Small Batch Bourbon Collection® − Basil Hayden’s®, Knob
Creek®, Baker’s® and Booker’s®
bourbons. These ultra-premium
bourbons, which are aged longer
and feature higher proofs, were
created under his father’s guidance in the early 1990s. When the
bourbons were first introduced,
Bedding Plants, Coffee, and Bark! Oh, my!
Fred would help select the batches
that were ready for bottling by
tasting samples at the family’s
kitchen table.
Upon Booker’s retirement, Fred
took over the prestigious duty
of serving as ambassador of The
Small Batch Bourbon Collection.
In addition, after rigorous years
of apprenticeship and training,
he was named master distiller in
2003.

BORING BARK
and LANDSCAPE MATERIALS
Steve and Connie Giusto and
their daughter Erin did not set out
to compete with Starbuck’s, but
if things keep going the way they
have, it might turn out that way. Just
this year they opened a well-stocked
elegant coffee bar, with sophisticated products and baristas in one
end of their garden center at Boring
Bark and Landscape Materials.
It was an unforeseen develop-
ment in a progression of growth
expansions that now seems almost
inevitable. In 1999 Steve and Connie Giusto bought a pile of bark
dust from behind the Shell station in
Boring, along with a business name,
a logo, and a phone number. Then
they went to see John Chambers
about buying a dump truck for
deliveries, as well as five acres next
door to Chambers Equipment to
expand the business.
For a couple of years they operated out of a tiny space in a
construction shack while they
gradually added products that were
in demand. The conversations went
something like this:
Customer: You have bark dust. Can
we get bark rock?
Steve Giusto: Why not?

“Keep GREEN in your Pocket,
NOT on your Roof.”
by Mallory Gwynn
…so it is said. I don’t know
what you think of roses, but in
my garden, they have a significant
place. Now then…anytime you
grow roses here in the Northwest
you must count the cost. I’m not
referring to the price of the plant
necessarily, but the time and extra
effort it takes to care for them.
Roses can be the joy of the
garden if done well, but left to
their own, they will collect disease
and insects that will take you to
the edge of your tolerance capacity. So…let’s “get the cards on the
table” and look at some of the
pests that can affect roses.
When it comes to disease,
roses are susceptible to Black
spot, Rust, Powdery Mildew and
a few others. Black Spot, which
is a fungal disease, can have
significant negative health effects
to the plant. Control of Black
Spot can be dealt with culturally
and chemically. Keeping the area
around your rose free of plant
debris and keeping affected leaves
pulled off the plant can help control the disease, but usually not
enough to keep it from affecting
your plants.
With our level of rainfall,
coupled with the sporadic sun
appearances, black spot is almost
a given. A systemic fungicide
is probably going to be needed
with varieties that are more susceptible. Look for varieties of
roses that are naturally resistant
if you are opposed to using nonorganic methods of treating pests.
‘Altissimo’, Julia Child’, ‘Fourth
of July, ‘Betty Boop’ and ‘About
Face’ are a few varieties that are
resistant, but keep in mind that,
they too, are susceptible given the
right conditions.
Aphids are one of the most
prominent insects causing damage to roses. They suck the life
out of plant leaves and can leave
distorted and sick plants in their
wake. Aphids are not very stable
on the plant and can be knocked
off by a high pressure blast from
your garden hose. They are not
good climbers and will usually be
consumed by ground predators.
Insecticidal soap is a decent
organic solution for those who
don’t want to use chemicals.
Also…using Ladybugs and Praying Mantis can do a good job of
controlling aphids, but will leave
once the food source is gone.
Now for the good stuff. Roses
bloom all season long if pruned
and deadheaded consistently.
They provide that color and fragrance that no other plant can.
My roses usually have four flushes
during the summer months. Not
all species and varieties will give
four flushes, but Hybrid Tea,
Grandiflora’s and Floribunda’s
usually do.
Some of my favorite varieties
are ‘Mr. Lincoln’, ‘About Face’,
Betty Boop, ‘Rio Samba’, ‘Gertrude Jekyll”, ‘Day Breaker’ and
‘Sunsprite’. If you are looking for
a hedge of all season blooming
roses, try the Knockout™ series.
They are amazing.
If you want a shrub that blooms
all summer and can be used for
fresh cut indoors, then roses are

the plant for you. Just know that
all that goodness comes with a bit
more effort, but well worth it!
July is a month of berry harvest
at the Gwynn farm. We have raspberries, blackberries, blueberries
and strawberries that all produce
in July… and that makes July
one of my favorite months in the
edible garden scene.
Blueberries are grown commercially here in the Northwest
for good reason. The climate and
soil are perfect for their health
and production. Blueberries are
kin to Huckleberries and that
provides some clue as to what
these plants need to thrive.
They are not a deep rooted
plant so they have a tenancy to
dry out quickly. Mulch is critical to good plant health, because blueberries need moist soil
around the roots, but not sitting
in water. The soil pH is a huge factor in keeping your plants healthy.
Amending the soil to 4-4.5 on the
pH scale is not too acidic. Keep
any dead branches pruned off
and keep the new cane (smooth
skin) coming up from the bottom.
Systematically remove the oldest
wood to keep the plant regenerated and producing well.
When it comes to pests, birds
are at the top of the list. Robins and Starlings are the worst
offenders. A lightweight and
mobile cover can be constructed
out of PVC pipe and bird netting.
It is a bit of an investment up
front, but you wind up with all
the fruit. For me, that is a logical
tradeoff.
There are really many good varieties of blueberries…Bluecrop,
Spartan, Chandler, Duke, Elliot
and many more. When you purchase them, try to find varieties
that produce at different times of
the season. There are early, mid
and late season varieties. One
other thing…blueberries are
self-pollinating, but will always
perform better with another variety in close proximity.
Al’s Garden Centers will be
hosting Blueberry workshops
this month. You will be able to
find specific information on their
website. http://als-gardencenter.

A brief guide to Oregon’s native pines
by Chuck Bolsinger
ost Oregonians know
ponderosa pines when
they see them, and
many recognize shore pines and
lodgepole pines. But there are
four other native pine species,
and two to five additional subspecies/varieties depending on
one’s splitter-lumper leanings.
Here, to demystify matters, is a
brief guide to Oregon’s pines. It
follows the dendrologists’ logic
of grouping pines according
to the number of needles in a
fascicle:
Five-needle pines. There are
four in Oregon, consisting of
two “white” pines (western white
and sugar pines), and two “stone”
pines (whitebark and limber
pines).
Western white pine (Pinus
monticola) is an important timber
tree, producing straight-grained
wood that is dimensionally
stable. It typically grows in the
mid-to-higher mountains (hence
the species name, monticola).
Usually the tallest tree in a stand,
it can often be recognized from a
distance by the slender cones (a
foot or so long) hanging from the
ends of branches near the top.
An introduced disease—white
pine blister rust—has killed trees
throughout its range, changing
the character of many western
forests. For example, in stands
of western hemlock on nearby
Larch Mountain are numerous
snags of blister-rust-killed white
pines, yet live pines are rare.
Some live western white pines
can be seen from US Hwy 26
between Clear Lake Junction and
Bear Springs cutoff.
Sugar pine (P. lambertiana),
the largest pine in the world, was
discovered by David Douglas,
who called it the most princely
of the pines. Its wood is similar
to that of western white pine. It
ranges from San Diego County,
California, to extreme southern
Clackamas County, Oregon.
The bark on old trees resembles that of ponderosa pine.
The cones look like white pine
cones on steroids, reaching two
feet or more in length. Green
cones are heavy, downright
dangerous when plummeting 50
M
to 200 feet. A sugar pine cone
knocked the outside rear-view
mirror off my pickup, reminding me to wear my hardhat in
the woods. Unfortunately, sugar
pine is susceptible to white pine
blister rust, which in recent years
has spread through much of the
tree’s range.
Whitebark pine (P. albicaulis), one of Oregon’s two “stone
pines,” grows near timberline in
the Cascades, the Blue Mountains, and Wallowa Mountains.
Often gnarled and twisted, it
adds to the unique character of
alpine areas.
Unlike most five-needled
pines, the cones of whitebark
pine remain closed after they
fall. If left alone they slowly disintegrate, and the nutlike seeds
germinate in the rotten remains.
What usually happens, though,
is Clark’s Nutcrackers and squirrels attack the cones on the tree
(in Montana, grizzly bears often
get there first). Seeds are heavy
and wingless, and Clark’s Nutcrackers have an essential role
in disseminating and planting
them.
Limber pine (P. flexilis), the
other “stone pine,” has been seen
by relatively few Oregonians.
Only two Oregon locations are
known, one in Wallowa County,
the other in Grant County. Like
whitebark pine, it is a tree of
alpine areas, though in Idaho
and Montana its size and form
occasionally allow it to be used
for products such as lumber and
railroad ties.
Two-and-three-needle pines.
There are three in Oregon: ponderosa, Jeffrey, and lodgepole
pines.
Ponderosa pine (P. ponderosa)
ranges from central Mexico to
southern Canada, and from Nebraska and South Dakota to the
Pacific Coast. An important timber tree, ponderosa pine arguably
epitomizes the West more than
any other tree. Three varieties are
recognized, Pacific ponderosa,
Rocky Mountain ponderosa, and
Willamette Valley ponderosa. In
the Southwest, some foresters
recognize a fourth variety, Arizona ponderosa.
Although specimens from the
far eastern part of its range look
different (shorter needles, squatty tree form, smaller cones), over
much of its range the difference
between varieties is more in the
environment they tolerate than in
their appearance. Ponderosa pine
needles are usually in fascicles
of two or three, but in a few areas—such as parts of the Warm
Springs Reservation—they are in
fours and fives.
Jeffrey pine (P. jeffreyi) superficially resembles ponderosa pine,
but its cones are larger and the
scale prickles are tucked in (you
can roll a cone in your hands
without getting stuck). New
twigs have a bluish bloom while
those of ponderosa pine are
yellow-green and waxy. Jeffrey
pine can form cell walls with
magnesium, while ponderosa,
like most trees, requires calcium.
Jeffrey pine grows on calciumpoor serpentine and peridotite
rocks in southwestern Oregon,
and on Nickel Mountain’s garnierite formation near Riddle, once
the site of the only nickel mine in
the USA. A turpentine producer
in southern Oregon used Jeffrey
pine sap instead of ponderosa,
and his plant blew up.
Lodgepole pine (P. contorta)
has a greater north-south range
than ponderosa pine, from Baja
to the Yukon. In Oregon this
pine, with two-inch-long needles
in twos, is found in the Cascades,
Blue Mountains, and along the
coast—where it’s called shore
pine. Coastal trees are gnarled
and twisted, hence the name
contorta, and the cones readily
open up at maturity.
The inland form is straight,
has small limbs, and cones stay
closed until a fire comes along.
After a fire, seeds are released,
quickly reforesting burned areas
(such as happened at Yellowstone). Lodgepole pine played
an important role in settling
the West: thousands of miles
of railroad tracks were laid on
lodgepole pine crossties.
Hoary Cress
by Julie Gomez
pring is one of my favorite
times of year to visit the
semi-arid desert region
that lies east of the Cascade
Mountains. We were heading for
Maupin, a peaceful desert community of the lower Deschutes
River Canyon.
It was trout season, and we
were eager to do some fly fishing. West of the Cascades, the
morning was damp, the rain just
ended, and the temperature a
cool 42 degrees. We gathered up
our rods and gear, jumped into
the pickup, and drove east to find
the sun and the fish!
Over the Cascades we went.
Mount Hood dazzled us with its
fresh snowpack worn proudly
against a sapphire sky. Trees were
snow-covered, and slush clung to
the highway in the crisp 35-de-
S
gree air.
Over the Cascade Crest, conifer forest gave way to ponderosa
pine, and then sage, and then
juniper. The ceiling was a vastness of blue. Ahead the landscape
flattened; desert country as far as
the eyes could see.
Down in the Deschutes River
Canyon we found a nice slot to
cast our flies. The air felt comfortable at 62 degrees. The water
was swift and cold, and reflected
the most intense shade of blue
I’d ever seen. Nearby, an osprey
fished—always a good sign!
In the grasses along the bank
bloomed hoary cress (Lepidium
(Cardaria) draba); a non-native,
perennial herb belonging to the
Mustard Family, and whose name
means “heart” for the shape of its
fruit.

a single stem rises (twelve to
twenty inches tall) that grows
upright or spreading. (Those I
found grew straight.) The stem
is slightly hairy, and branching at
the top.
Leaves alternate along the

CD and Tori Boedigheimer
DHD was initially discovered in 1902 by Sir George
Still and was believed to be
the result of serious brain damage. This theory has been proven
wrong. Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) typically
occurs before the age of seven and
is characterized by a smaller cortex
(smaller frontal lobe). The frontal
lobe is the area of the brain responsible for impulse, socialization,
reasoning and making judgment.
Current research for ADHD
is focused on a reduction in the
neurotransmitter dopamine, which
sends messages to the cells. Reduction in dopamine appears to
interfere with children’s ability to
focus and pay attention. The goal
for ADHD with children is to prevent the reduction of dopamine and
prevent this interference in ability
to focus and pay attention.
Pharmaceutical treatments typically prescribed are Ritalin, Cylert
and Dexedrine. These prescription
drugs have side effects, including
insomnia, loss of appetite, headaches, stomachaches, hyperactivity,
drowsiness, blood pressure and
pulse changes, as well as cardiac
arrhythmia. With the ADHD prevalence being so high, it is probable
that you may have been diagnosed

or have a close relative or friend who
has been diagnosed with ADHD.
The CDC estimates 5% of children have ADHD. As of 2011 there
have been 6.4 million children
diagnosed with ADHD (11% of
children age 4-17 years of age). In
fact, in 2007, the State of Oregon
had an estimated 6.8% of children
diagnosed with ADHD between
the ages of 4-17, and in 2011 this
number has exploded to 7.9%.
ADHD has been steadily growing
nationally at an alarming rate of 3%
from 1997-2006.
ADHD appears to be highly
inheritable, as 75% of children diagnosed with ADHD have a genetic
predisposition. Furthermore, the
prevalence of ADHD varies by state
with Oregon at 7.9% and Kentucky
as high as 18.7% in 2011 according
to the CDC. Children with ADHD
are more prone to have difficulties
with friendships and nearly three
times as many problems with their
peers as children without.
Interestingly, boys are almost 2.5
times more likely to be diagnosed
with ADHD than girls. The estimated
healthcare cost to treat patients with
ADHD at a 5% prevalence rate in
2005 was between 36 billion and 52
billion dollars. The elevating prevalence and rising costs of treatment
for patients with ADHD is causing
a significant financial burden on our
healthcare system, contributing to
increased medical care costs and loss
of work. It is estimated that across
10 countries the productivity loss as
a result of ADHD is in excess of 143
million days.
As more and more families are
impacted by ADHD, families are
beginning to look towards Naturopathic Physicians, Dietitians,
and Medical Doctors for alternative
methods of treatment versus the
typical pharmaceutical product.
The potential side effects from
pharmaceutical products and the
associated risks do not outweigh
the benefits for many families.
prevent the reduction of dopamine,
it makes sense that Bacopa Monnieri
would have a positive impact in this
population by preserving dopamine
with less neuronal stress. Bacopa Monnieri is one natural dietary
supplement that has no known side
effects and great potential for the
dietary management of ADHD.
Several industry manufacturers
have developed products containing
Bacopa Monnieri to support patients
with ADHD. We tend to recommend
Boys are almost 2.5 times more likely

With this said, one herb that has
demonstrated great potential for the
management of ADHD is Bacopa
Monnieri, an herb grown in India
that is very common in Ayurveda
medicine and well known for keeping the body calm and focused.
The active component of Bacopa
Monnieri is bacosides, whose main
function is to work at preserving
dopamine. Dopamine is motivation and the neurotransmitter that
makes things appear important and
meaningful. Low levels of dopamine cause one to become bored
and lose focus.
Bacosides are directly involved
with stimulating the production
of dopamine by reducing stress
on the neurons that would deplete
dopamine, although the exact
mechanism is unknown. Since
the goal for ADHD children is to

Lessons from the Garden
The Vine…
by Pamala J. Vincent
“But while everyone was sleeping,
his enemy came and sowed weeds
among the wheat, and went away.”
~Matthew 13:45 (NIV)
f April showers bring May
flowers, then June’s sun
brings weeds and vines!
The Pacific Northwest is blessed
to have an abundance of rain
and moisture for our gardens.
I’ve visited places that are sunny
and gorgeous in the winter, but
dead and dry in summer. Not all
of Oregon can boast of this, but
we don’t have arid challenges. In
fact, our trials are corralling the
weeds, vines, and slugs that April
showers send our way.
Every year I fight with a vine
that I’m clueless where it came
from, as it winds itself tightly
around my roses. Once the vine
has made some headway, it’s
difficult to untangle it without
wounding the new growth on
my prize roses. Even if I snip
it near the ground, I still have
to unravel the potential destruction. I can’t use pesticides
because the roots may share the
rose roots and kill it.
There seems to be no way to
prevent the vine’s growth except
for one—remove them the moment they rear their little heads
out of the soil. If I pull them
before they even touch my roses,
the damage is limited to around
the base of the rose roots and easy
to eliminate.
As we are stewards of our
gardens, we are also stewards
of young adults. I find so many
similarities in the garden when it
“I
comes to mentoring teens—and
today is no different.
If we are not attentive enough
to notice the ‘vines’ or destructive
influences in young adults’ lives,
we leave them to the caustic devastation that may wound them.
We have to be aware enough
to pluck the dangers from their
lives before it knits its harmful
impact into their development
and thinking. When our children
were little, someone told me if I
yelled, when they were grown
they would be intense yellers and
if I protected them, they would
be adults that really protected
others. What they meant was that
whatever I modeled they would
embrace exponentially.
I’m not suggesting we can
catch every weed or vine in our
children’s lives. But I am saying
we can limit the number of harmful influences by starting early in
the process, when they’re young.
Like roses and the teens I
work with, I’m eager to help the
newbies grow into all they can be.
Given the opportunity, they will
flourish and bring future joy to
all who help to weed and protect
them. The fragrance a young person leaves in a family, friends, and
community is like none other.

Attorneys Thompson and Parker have a good lawyer story.
Let’s face it. When someone tells
you they have a ‘good lawyer story,’
it’s usually not so good. Attorneys
have a global negative perception
that is resulted from a skewed view
of the profession.
It is time to turn that idea
around… Portland lawyers, Steven
Parker and Karen Thompson have
over 45 years of combined probative trial expertise in personal
injury claims, auto collision injury,
wills & trusts, business entity
formation and real estate law.
“People talk to an attorney
because they want to protect their
interests, their assets, or because
something has been taken from
them, like their health or their
property. When those things are
threatened, you want answers and
action and you want it at a reason-
&
able cost. I like to work within a
client’s budget,” said Parker.
Working together, Thompson
and Parker have successfully represented hundreds of clients through
the myriad of preparation leading
to favorable court decisions and
out-of-court settlements, simply
by taking a personal interest in the
people they represent.
“We have secured hundreds
of thousands of dollars for our
clients,” said Thompson.
“Clients aren’t always sure about
the gray areas involving injury
cases. I want them to feel free to
call me and discuss their case. I can
determine their best options going
forward and help ease their mind,”
added Thompson.
Both Thompson and Parker
followed their passion for legal
studies by wanting to see people
make the best possible decisions
when in a court of law.
Thompson graduated with a
law degree from the University of
Houston Law Center upon completing a four-year stint at the
University of Texas.
Parker, a Benson Polytechnic
High School grad, earned his
law degree from the Golden Gate
School of Law in San Francisco
after attending four years at the
University of Oregon.
Initial consultation is always
free with the ultimate goal of
representation by Thompson and
Parker. Clients can expect to spend
a comfortable amount of time,
with either attorney, discussing
the details of their situation. Both
Thompson and Parker will advise the client of the best tactical
solution to their ordeal or offer a
referral to a trusted legal associate
before the call is done.
Parker adds, “We are always one

The law is for protection of the people
FAITH
by Sam Albrecht,
Youth Pastor
Living Way Fellowship
hat makes a person
prosperous is debated on a global scale.
Thousands of prescriptions and
millions of adherents believe they
have found the path to prosperity.
Everyone believes something can
make them happy, and more often
than not it is unattainable to them.
What do you think would make
your life full? Often when we hear
the word “prosperous” we think
of money, but that is not the full
picture. Prosperity is that which
scripture describes as contentment
and satisfaction, being without
lack.
The fascinating thing we see is
that people can live in true prosperity with a complete absence
of material wealth. I’m sure you
know exactly the kind of people
I am talking about. These people
are the ones we see on the web or
on TV, living in sub-par conditions
in small living quarters, laughing
Page 11
more freely and living with more
peace than those of us comfortably
watching them on a screen from
around the world.
Is poverty the pathway to prosperity? No. Is minimalistic living
the pathway to prosperity? No.
The only thing that links people
living with prosperity in their
hearts every day is understanding
of life; it is wisdom.
Wisdom is taken so seriously by
God that beyond being one of the
most developed themes in scripture, He made sure it was given
its own book entirely. Wisdom
is light in the cluttered room of
life. Wisdom makes sense of our
circumstances and guides us out
of foolish repetition into contentment and peace.
The book of Proverbs is the pinnacle of wisdom literature. Other
wisdom does work as men learned
from experience how to live in the
world God made, but does it not
stand to reason that wisdom from
the creator would be even better?
What is better, the mechanic who
has broken enough cars that he
has come to understand them better, or the engineer and designer
that made the car?
Wisdom is the link of people
around the world who live in
prosperity. It is not money, health,
or relationships. Those things are
side effects of wisdom. It is understanding life, being able to make
discerning decisions, comprehending the cause and effects of this
world. Wisdom allows people to
see where they fit. A life of wisdom
is a life without wasted years.
If wisdom is the skill of navigating within the creation of God, the
wisdom of God is vastly superior.
This is why Proverbs says “The
fear of the LORD is the beginning
of wisdom, and knowledge of
the Holy One is understanding.”
(Proverbs 9:10). Forget about
money, jobs, college and vacation.
Seek wisdom from God and let
the light come on all the brighter
in your life so that you would be
discerning and wise. Wisdom
makes prosperity yours. Perhaps
Proverbs is calling your name.

Mt. Hood Lions to raise funds
for Honor Flight
The Mt Hood Lions Board of Directors have given permission for our
club to participate in a Bottle and
Can Drive. We are asking other
groups to partner with us, and different businesses will be requested
to put out donation locations for us
to collect them through the month
of July, 2014.
Please have your organization
consider helping us for the month
of July. We will be accepting donated cans and bottles at the Lions
Chuck Wagon Breakfast on July
5th and
July 6th, 2014.
The proceeds will go to help
fund the Honor Flight, which pays
for WWII Vets to fly to Washington
DC and see the walls, memorials,
museums, and other honors for
WW II vets. We are looking for
other community groups to partner with us.
Start saving you beverage cans
and bottles to help us join in
funding this great effort during the
month of July. We have ordered
posters to post in the community,
and they will
be posted as soon as we receive
them.

Honor Flight of Oregon Flight
and Southern Oregon Honor Flight
are proud members of the Honor
Flight Nnetwork. Created solely to
honor America’s veterans for all their
sacrifices we transport our heroes
living in Oregon to Washington, D.C.
to visit and reflect at their memorials. Top priority is given to the senior
veterans – World War II survivors,
along with those other veterans who
may be terminally ill.
Of all of the wars in recent memory, it was World War II that truly
threatened our very existence as a
nation—and as a culturally diverse,
free society. Now, with over one
thousand World War II veterans dying each day, our time to express our
thanks to these brave men and women
is running out.

Boring Bark
Cust.: How about gravel?
S. Giusto: Why not?
C: River rock?
S.G.: Why not?
C: Decorative rock?
G.: Why not?
C: Sand, soil, compost, mulch,
firewood, water features, garden
statuary?
G.: Why not?
Connie Giusto’s passion is plants
for the yard and garden. As the
demand for materials grew, vendors for bedding plants began to
approach Boring Bark and offer
their products. It seemed a natural
progression.
“We could become a garden
center,” Connie said. “Why not?”
Steve said. And they did.
Before long, one truck and one
driver weren’t enough to handle
the demand. The new truck drivers
wanted coffee before and after delivering, unloading, and sometimes
landscaping. “But we couldn’t get
coffee that we thought was good
enough,” Erin told the Gazette.
“We could roast our own,” Connie said one night.
“Why not?” Steve said. And they
did. They started importing the best
coffee they could find, grinding it,
and making it available to their
customers, who soon wanted to buy
their own from the Giustos.
Importing coffee became a whole
new business. They wanted to use
the trade name “Cat’s Meow,” to
complement “Boring Bark” (with
the dog logo), but a Pennsylvania
winery already had that name, so
they changed it to “Cat’s Moon.”
Now they import coffee from
Kenya, Zibabwe, Ethiopia, Tanzania,
Peru, Nicaragua, Colombia, Brazil,
Chiapas, Costa Rica, and Papua New
Guinea. So far. Each day they offer
coffee from two new countries, so if
you go by every day you can drink
coffee from all around the world.
Or you can enjoy delicious pastries at very little cost while you sit
in their pleasant, airy dining area
and look out at the garden space
displaying flowers, shrubbery, garden statuary, landscaped pathways,
and fine-crafted masonry walls.
Wander out back and find
dozens of varieties of landscaping
materials, from shredded cedar hog
fuel for mud control on the farm or
on construction sites to decorative
rock and water features for ponds,
waterfalls, bubbling rocks, bird
baths, and concrete fountains.
Looking around inside and out,
you’ll find garden tools, books, fer-

tilizer, homes for mason bees, Territorial seeds, spices, fresh milk—and
if you can’t find it, just ask, and
Steve will probably say, “Why not?”
When Steve Giusto sold his
waste disposal business and bought
that pile of bark dust, he and Connie never intended to get into this
many businesses, but they don’t
mind the long hours and hard work.
“Boring is a pretty tight community,
and we’re glad to be part of it,” Steve
said. “In the end, it’s about people,”
Connie said. “If we didn’t love all
the people here—both customers
and staff—we wouldn’t stay. Anybody could sell what we have here,
but for us it’s the human connection
that makes it worth doing.”
Steve said the operation has to
be good for everybody—everybody
deserves an opportunity to make
the best of what they can be. Connie pointed to a cello standing in
the corner. “Anybody who wants
to can play it,” she said. “And the
kids, the drivers—even the customers—sometimes do.”
Their concern for people and
their involvement in the community is not the kind that garners
big awards or acclamation, but
their contributions to a variety of
fundraisers for non-profit organizations are incalculable. They include
local schools, churches, My Father’s
House, a project for battered women, and a supply of plant material
for teen moms to start a garden, to
name just a few.
Just last week a lady undergoing
cancer treatment came in wanting
to buy a supply of flat river rocks to
write inspirational messages on for
her friends and relatives. “I couldn’t
charge her,” Connie said. “I gave
them to her with my best wishes.”
Of course, their good deeds
and excellent products cannot go
unnoticed by garden aficionados.
On June 28, the East Multnomah
Garden Club included Boring Bark
on its regular Garden Tour, no
doubt especially interested in the
year-round perennial garden the
Giustos keep, with its manicured
lawn and wide variety of specialty
plants and flowers.
And no doubt many will take
advantage of the extensive variety
of coffees, chocolates, teas, and
pastries available at Cat’s Moon Coffee. You’re welcome to do the same,
especially if you bring in a coupon
from the Gazette: you can get a free
cup of Espresso, or tea, or a pair of
garden gloves.
And who knows what else
you might find that you can’t do
without. Just ask Steve, and he’ll
probably answer, “Why not?”

Club has awarded $3,500 in scholarships to Corbett High School graduates, said Michael Orelove, member of
the Kiwanis Scholarship Committee.
As a service organization, Kiwanis
seeks to encourage students who have
been actively in service to others, and
who therefore will be likely to volunteer their time and leadership skills in
the future to benefit their communities
wherever they live and work through
grants in aid of further education.
The 2014 scholarships were awarded
as follows:
$1,000 awarded to Jewel Denney who
plans to attend Mt. Hood Community
College.
$1,000 awarded to Tadeusz Dlugolecki
who plans to attend the University of
San Diego.
$500 awarded to Marina Clark who

Mirada California.
Culinary traveler
As the chief bourbon ambassador for Jim Beam Bourbon, the
world’s No. 1 bourbon, Fred is an
adept and entertaining spokesman
for not only the Jim Beam Distillery, but the bourbon industry as
well. A frequent world traveler, he
remains a sought-after speaker.
On Sept. 12, 2007, the company honored Fred by placing his
portrait on the Jim BeamBourbon
brand label, alongside the six family distillers who preceded him
in the family business − Jacob,
David, David M., Jim, Jeremiah
and Booker.
Today, Fred is integral in the
development and selection of
some of Beam’s latest innovations
and flavor extensions. Most notably, Fred hand-selected Knob
Creek Single Barrel Reserve barrel-by-barrel, creating a unique
expression of Knob Creek’s rich,
mature flavor.
His guidance and expertise also
aided the launch of Knob Creek
Rye Whiskey (available nationwide July 2012), bringing deliciously rich and savory notes of
rye to life in a way that only Knob
Creek − and Fred Noe − can. The
spirit is a versatile, full-flavored
straight rye whiskey that offers
smooth spice with every sip.
In addition to expanding the
Knob Creek portfolio, Fred oversaw the creation of Devil’s Cut™,
a premium bourbon whiskey
developed using a proprietary
process that extracts the liquid
trapped inside the wood of the
bourbon barrel, which leaves
rich flavors from deep within the
barrel wood it contains.
He also worked closely with the

STEAK A LA JIM BEAM
Ingredients
1/4 cup Jim Beam Bourbon
2 tablespoons light sesame oil
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 T-bone steaks (or rib-eyes) I used a
flatiron steak for this recipe.
Tip: Let the steaks come to
room temperature before grilling, this will give you an evenly
cooked steak as opposed to rare
in the middle and well done on
the outside. I also marinated the
steak for 4 hours.
Preparation
Mix first three ingredients well.
Place the two steaks into a shallow dish or plate and pour the

marinade over the steaks. Cover
with plastic wrap and refrigerate
at least one hour prior to grilling.
After 30 minutes in the refrigerator, turn the steaks over and allow
to marinate for an additional 30
minutes. When the steaks are
finished marinating, place the
steaks on a hot grill and cook
to your satisfaction. Serve your
steaks with a tossed salad, baked
potatoes, hot rolls and refreshing
Jim Beam Bourbon and cola.
