Gardens | The Eternal Traveller
Western Queensland Road Trip Square Tops Challenge #6
The tiny outback town of Wyandra is conveniently located on the Mitchell Highway, halfway between Charleville and Cunnamulla.
With a population of just 116, you won’t find any fancy department stores or shopping centres in Wyandra. But you don’t need them when you can stop in at the quirky Post Office Café for refreshments.
Take your delicious hot coffee and some freshly baked scones topped with jam and cream outside to the garden and relax for a while before continuing your journey.

Life Update: Dancing in The Starlight – A Simple Dose of Reality
Life Update: Dancing in The Starlight
July 24, 2017 July 24, 2017 Brittany Anna
“You’re like starlight in the dark. Every glimmer is a spark. Catching fire as you break through”.
Those are the beautiful words of the new Bethel Music song “Starlight” that is playing right now as I sit down and write about what’s been going on in life. Those lyrics, honestly, sum it up. Quite accurately.
About a month ago, I posted about how fearful I was about where my life was heading. I had just graduated college and had no idea at where God was gonna take me. I had faith that everything would work out but the idea of not knowing what I was doing really got to me.
“You’re like starlight in the dark”. Yeah! God pretty much has been for me. As everything around me was dark and unknown territory, He was the light ahead. Through prayer (lots of it), studying His word, and getting encouragement from people around me, I found peace in the starlight He was bringing into my life. As I fixed my eyes on Him, He was working things for my good.
Since moving back, I’ve grown so much more in my faith. I’m refreshed in His presence. I’m having victory over so many areas in my life and I feel like I don’t have to try so hard. I’m making great friends who are so in love with Jesus and doors are opening for me.
I can also officially announce that I start my first ever, full-time position with DSS in one week. This was a complete blessing and answer to prayer. This is the opportunity that I had been waiting on and I’m so excited to start this new chapter of my life.
A few months ago, I never thought I’d be here and it’s all because of Jesus. Like seriously. I owe it all to Him! He is so good!!!
We took a day trip to the beach this past weekend and there is this beautiful spot that we stopped on the boat on the sound. It’s this kind of island strip of land, a little bit of a hill and on top of it was a cross.
Right there… sitting atop this tiny hill was the reminder of everything that I have in my life. Everything good was because of that cross and who conquered it. My relationship with Jesus is the only thing that really makes sense to me. It keeps my head above the waters of this world, it gives my feet solid ground, and gives me breath. Jesus is the only one that never changes, is unfailing, knows no bounds, and never leaves. He is my rock and my foundation. Seeing that cross was the reminder of all of that. So I climbed up to it so I could kneel before it and thank Him, give Him praise. I don’t care if people think I’m weird or crazy. I know what Jesus has done for me and I will proclaim it always. He is catching fire!
So that’s life right now. I’m joyful in it. I’m taking each day at a time, being present in these precious moments and remaining thankful for where God has brought me.
Each day I wake up excited about what might happen and it’s all because of Him!
Thanks for letting me be a Jesus freak up here and listening to my updates!

Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds (2017) – Movies Unchained
documentary	Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds (2017)
Posted by Movies Unchained on January 10, 2017	Two weeks ago, the world was absolutely shaken by the loss of two incredible artists – Carrie Fisher, the iconic actress and writer known for her star-making turn in the Star Wars series, and Debbie Reynolds, one of the last remaining connections between the Golden Era of Hollywood and the modern world of entertainment. They died one day after the other, which is made even worse when you consider the fact that they were mother and daughter, and their deaths being so unbelievably close together is one of the most shocking events I have ever seen. They were national treasures, and the very best in their fields. The world lost two incredible artists, but more than anything else, their family lost two pivotal members, and moving away from the fact that both Carrie and Debbie were beloved showbusiness figures, they were also part of a family, and to lose two members so close to one another is beyond heartbreaking.
It seems so shockingly fitting that Fisher Stevens and Alexis Bloom were working on a documentary film about Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, and their loving relationship and their past, where they grew apart, and then eventually started to be an important part of each other’s lives. That film came to be this very documentary, Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, and unlike many documentaries about popular figures, it isn’t designed to appear to appeal to our emotions and make us cry at the fact that the subjects have left us – neither had died when this film premiered at Cannes last year – rather, it was supposed to just be a humble and quirky documentary about two larger-than-life ladies that were absolute icons – and ended up being one of the most heartbreaking and poignant films I have ever seen – and not a single touch of editing was done to reference the fact that both of them died, which makes this truly an extraordinary film.
Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, as the title suggests, has two subjects, and despite being mother and daughter, they could not be more different, and this film highlights this in so many places – they were completely different people, with different personalities and preferences and little idiosyncrasies – but they shared a very beautiful and tender love. This film is marvelous in its ability to show these two radically different women in a way that they both are distinctly individual yet so beautifully bound together. It is a film about two very different women that share an incredibly special bond, and even if it does seem to be telling two separate stories, this film constantly comes together to paint a beautiful portrait of two incredible and iconic women.
Carrie Fisher – I honestly adore this woman. She is an icon, and her performance in Star Wars is historic – but not only was she an iconic actress, she was also an incredible woman. She was an extraordinary writer and had an tremendous sense of humour – but she was also so deeply human, and she shared her struggles with mental health and drug addiction in such a way that we got to see the real Carrie Fisher, the person, rather than the movie star. If there wasn’t any reason to adore Carrie Fisher before, Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds will give you a reason to love her – hilarious, endearing and endlessly charming, the film shows Fisher as she deals with her life as an icon, as a writer and as a beloved public figure, but even more, as a daughter growing close to the mother she was once terribly isolated from, and knowing that her mother is slowly fading away, and how Carrie herself needs to, in a way, let her go. It may be slightly morbid to say, but Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds shows one very important thing – Carrie and Debbie were the most important people in each other’s lives, and it was clear that they couldn’t live without one another – and in some sad but sweet way, they don’t have to now.
Debbie Reynolds, despite being in her eighties while filming this documentary, seems to have the same plucky energy and endless charisma that she did when she was a young starlet that I adored in Singin’ in the Rain and The Unsinkable Molly Brown. It was wonderful to see that Debbie herself seemed to have even more energy than her daughter, which is a testament to the fact that Debbie Reynolds was a true, honest-to-god performer and entertainer. This film constantly shows that Debbie is always retiring, but that doesn’t last for long. Much like Cher and The Rolling Stones, Debbie’s current performance is always seemingly her finale performance, which this film very sarcastically shows is not always the case. While Carrie Fisher is endearing through her self-deprecating humour and sarcastic brilliance, Debbie is just so charming and sweet, and it is clear that they don’t make entertainers like Debbie Reynolds anymore. She fought right to the end, and even though the passage of time started to leave her frail and weak, she never let it consume her, and she was that same brilliantly energetic and motivated performer that she was in the 1950s.
Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds is such a nostalgic journey – and you’ll cry, considering recent events. Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds were unique and definitely one-of-a-kind. The fact that we lost both of them in the space of two days is utterly heartbreaking, and was a true shock. However, their legacies continue to live on, and their work is enough to solidify them as iconic figures. But most of all, like Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds shows, they were entertainers second, and mother and daughter first. It is an honest, sad and often very funny look into the lives of two ladies who were just quite simply larger than life. An absolutely wonderful documentary, and just superb work. Be warned – there will be tears…many, many tears.

when the gnawing and clawing become overwhelming,

Posted by Farmertopia at 4:04 PM No comments: Links to this post
Warm weather brings out the best and worst in all of us, including pests. Insect pests can be a re-occurring problem in any garden. With warm weather and plenty of water available due to regular irrigating, insects can reproduce rapidly and can move from being a minor nuisance to down-right destructive. There are many pests that are common to gardens in this region and the WSU Chelan County Diagnosis Clinic has seen all of them. One of the most asked about pests according to Linda Sarratt, Master Diagnostician, are cutworms.
There are many species of cutworm but all have essentially the same life stages and tell-tale signs of destruction. Cutworms are the larvae of a small, brown, nocturnal moth. The female moth may lay hundreds of eggs in the fall which can over-winter on the soil surface or on low growing vegetation and plant residue (in other words, the weeds you didn’t clean out of your garden in September and October). When the larvae hatch in the spring (timing of hatch out is moisture dependent), they begin to nibble away at the surrounding vegetation and are particularly keen on asparagus, beans, cabbage and other crucifers, carrots, celery, corn, lettuce, peas, peppers, potatoes and tomatoes....really, the whole garden (sometimes even turfgrass, depending on the species of cutworm). Signs of cutworm damage are classic. One day, you will see a beautiful row of seedlings newly emerged and full of vigor. The following day, you will notice several seedlings look like they have been ‘cut’ at the base. The upper portion of the seedling may be still partially attached to its base but leaning at an exaggerated angle or it may be lying on the ground next to the ‘stump’ which used to be its stem. The following day, more seedlings will be missing. This cycle will continue until all seedlings have been decimated.
So what can you do about this? If you think cutworms are the culprits at play in your garden, the first step is to try and capture one for positive ID. Cutworms feed at night and then hide under the surface of the soil during the day. By running your finger around the damaged plant and stirring up the soil to a depth of about ½ inch, oftentimes you will find the larvae (1/2” to 1.5” in length is typical). Any larvae that you find should be destroyed.
Another technique is to put foil or cardboard collars around newly transplanted seedlings. Creating collars by cutting the bottom off of a compostable paper cup works well. The cup can be slipped over the top of the seedling after the bottom is cut off and then the base of the cup can be nestled down into the soil to a depth of about 1.5”. This acts as a physical barrier between the cutworm and the seedling.
Additionally, diatomaceous earth (a non-toxic naturally derived form of powdered silica) can be incorporated into the soil around newly planted seedlings and can be sprinkled onto the plant itself. The diatomaceous earth is a ‘death of a thousand cuts’ to small, soft-bodied pests like the cutworm.
Lastly, practice preventative maintenance by removing weeds and other plant residue from the garden throughout the season but mainly in the fall. This limits the places for females to lay eggs.
For more information on cutworms, the University of Minnesota has put out an information sheet at the following web address, http://www.extension.umn.edu/garden/insects/find/cutworms-in-home-gardens/
If in doubt about the proper identification of an insect of particular concern to your garden, the WSU Master Gardener Diagnosis Clinic is open Mondays and Wednesdays from 1-4 PM at 400 Washington Street across from the court house in Wenatchee and is free of charge to home-owners.

Oh fresh greens! I miss you already and winter has only just begun. I don’t deal well with the deprivation that this darkness delivers. Fortunately, there are some edibles that grow well enough indoors that I can indulge in chlorophyll over the next few months without the need for a heated greenhouse. Have you ever grown micro-greens? What about pea shoots? They are not that difficult to grow and they are incredibly satisfying to eat.
Micro-greens are the smallest of shoots, harvested in the stage between cotyledon and first true leaf. Many types of plants are used as ‘micro-greens’ including broccoli, amaranth, radish or kale. While managing the garden at Sleeping Lady, I was given the opportunity to experiment at will to find the microgreens best suited to winter production in their greenhouse. A look through a Johnny’s Seeds catalog will give you an idea of the variety of plants that are used in micro-greens production. Some are used for their color, others for their sturdiness and keeping ability and others for flavor. The price range for micro-green seed is broad and often has little to do with the ease or difficulty in growing. Some of the most expensive seed is also the most finicky to grow with the highest chance of failure. Hands-down my favorite ones to grow were the radishes. Often the seed was far less expensive than most other micro-greens, the size of the seed was larger and easier to handle and the growth rate was rapid and predictable. The flavor and texture of the radish sprouts was also exceptional and the holding ability after being cut was much better than some of the more delicate sprouts (such as beets, purslane or amaranth).
Pea shoots are equally easy to grow. Again, many types of peas are sold for shoot production. The ones that have been most successful for me are the Dwarf Gray. They are also the least expensive pea seed when purchased in bulk. Before planting, pea seed should be soaked overnight in clean water. This will jump start the sprouting process.
The easiest way to grow micro-greens or pea shoots is to put a little container of soil (I prefer to use one of the shallow black nursery tray liners with the underlying support tray that is used for holding garden starts at the store) on your kitchen counter. Sprinkle seeds densely onto the soil surface (regular potting mix works well), press the seeds into the soil with the palm of your hand and then lightly sprinkle a little soil over the top. Water thoroughly so that the soil is damp all the way through (bottom watering works best for micro-greens and peas) and in a couple of days you will see the seedlings beginning to emerge. There is no need to fertilize. When the micro-green seedlings are approximately 1-2” in height and before the first true leaves are fully developed, clip the seedlings off and use as a garnish for sandwiches, soup or salads. For the pea shoots, wait until they are approximately 3-4” in height before clipping. You may be surprised how much flavor such a little plant can pack...they really are amazing. After clipping, the plants will not re-grow. The soil can be dumped into the compost pile or worm bin (the worms really love to eat the leftovers).
If you have left-over broccoli, radish or kohlrabi seed from your summer garden, these can be used in the winter for micro-greens production. Avoid nightshades such as peppers, tomatoes or eggplant. These are not suitable for micro-greens production. When in doubt, Google it.
Yes, the weather has cooled and the days are short. The rain makes me crave hot tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwiches and begs me to curl up with my book rather than don the rain suit for more gardening. The average gardener is calling it quits for a few months. In typical fashion, most folks will be finishing their harvest of root crops and kale and will be pulling out the near-dead eggplant and limp tomatoes to create a massive compost pile of old weeds and spent plants in one corner of the yard. Having a siesta from gardening does have its appeal but it is far from necessary; even at this time of the year. When you truly love to eat what you sow, there is always a way to make the season last longer.
If there has been proper planning, a tenacious gardener with hopes for a winter harvest or an early spring crop, are still working in their plots. Produce still abounds for those who have planned ahead. This sweet spot of the year is when harvest continues but the work of weeding (and for the most part watering) no longer exists. It is the pot-o’-gold; Late Fall Bounty. This window of time can carry on all the way to Thanksgiving. It is during this time that sowing for early spring crops takes place.
Early Spring crops are those who can tolerate lower temperatures but will still germinate in cool, damp soils. Greens are best suited to these conditions. From now until Thanksgiving (or until the ground is frozen and can no longer be worked) seed for specialty greens can be sown. The best case scenario is to begin sowing seed in October so that germination takes place before winter. Cotyledon stage or first true leaf stage tend to over-winter well and allow the plant a jump start in the spring for when the weather begins to warm. For the greatest chance of success, Late Fall sown crops need to be kept from drying out. In the Upper Valley, rainfall is enough moisture to keep the soil damp enough for good germination. In drier parts of the county, additional watering may be needed to achieve good germination. A covering such as a little hoop house or cold frame also increases the likelihood of a successful Early Spring crop as it holds in solar heat and keeps the soil from freezing too deeply. For fun, try a late fall planting of cilantro, miner’s lettuce, mache’ or spinach. Spring greens may be closer than you think.... Happy Fall and keep on gardening!

The theme for this year in the Master Gardener area is Growing Communities. Topics will be geared toward growing knowledge, growing beauty, growing food and growing kids. As always, there will be crafts and projects for children. This year, youngsters will be encouraged to ‘plant a rainbow’. All activities and crafts are free of charge. Master Gardener plant diagnosticians will be on hand to answer questions about plant problems and a variety of information will be presented on Master Gardener programs and learning opportunities.
A new addition to the Master Gardener area this year will be the sale of seed potatoes. The Master Gardener Association will be selling a number of hard to find seed potato varieties for the home garden as part of their annual fundraising efforts. Fresh, home grown potatoes are a real treat and are worth the effort. Potatoes can be grown vertically in containers on a patio or porch, making them an accessible crop for gardeners with limited space. Vertical gardening of potatoes will be presented as part of the Master Gardener speaker series happening at the home show.
A diverse number of topics will be presented by Master Gardeners on both Friday and Saturday. In addition to ‘Vertical Gardening’ other topics will include ‘Integrating Vegetables and Flowers’, ‘Freshen Up Your Garden Design’, ‘The Beautiful Pollinator’, ‘Salsa Gardening’, ‘What’s New-An Overview of New Tools and Plants’, and ‘Let’s Go To The Fair’. A complete schedule and description of each presentation will be available at the Master Gardener area of the Home Show.
If you would like more information about the Master Gardener activities happening at this year’s KPQ Home and Garden Show, please contact Deb Benbow at debjeanbenbow@gmail.com.

North Central Washington is a complex natural environment to live in. Fire has been a part of this place for millennia; erasing and re-writing the landscape and enlivening the forest with new growth while eliminating the overstock of debris and turning it back into accessible nutrients. Many of the forest species in this part of the world have evolved to co-exist with fire. It is humans who are the most uncomfortable with the unpredictability of this act of nature and have tried to control the environment through its suppression. But, we need to concede to the power of fire and accept that we have chosen to live within its realm. It is our responsibility to be sure that we have taken the necessary steps to bring a fire-wise mindset to our homes and yards. Spring is the perfect time to begin thinking about this year’s fire season. Here are some helpful tips to get you started down the road to a more fire adapted lifestyle.
Needles are nature’s tinder. Rake and remove pine needles and dry leaves from within a minimum of 5 feet of a home’s foundation. As time permits – continue up to a 30 foot distance around the home. Dispose of collected debris in appropriate trash receptacles or yard waste containers.
If you heat with wood, get out your measuring tape and see how close wood piles are located to your home. If they are closer than 30 feet, they need to be relocated and moved at least 30’ away from structures.
Decks and roofs are an extension of your dwelling and need to be treated as such even though they exist outside the walls of your home. Sweep porches and decks, clearing them of leaves and pine needles. Rake under decks, porches, sheds and play structures and dispose of debris. Remove items stored under decks and porches and relocate them to a storage shed, garage, or basement. Clear needles and debris from your home’s rooflines, gutters and roof valleys.
Tall, dry grasses encourage the spread of fire. Mow grasses to a height of four inches or less and irrigate as is appropriate. Mowing should be done early on in the season as the muffler of a riding lawn mower can be hot enough to start a fire during the height of summer.
On mature trees, use hand pruners and loppers to remove low-hanging branches up to a height of 4 feet from the ground (specific height depends on the type and size of tree). Pole saws can be used to limb trees up to a height of 15 feet to prevent a ‘ladder’ effect; allowing fire to climb into the canopy. To prevent accidental electrocution, pole saws should not be used in proximity to power lines.
Talk to your neighbors and encourage them to be Fire Wise. Join forces with neighbors and pool your resources to pay for a chipper service to remove slash from your adjoining properties.
If you would like more information on living in a fire adapted community, the Chumstick Wildfire Stewardship Coalition will be hosting a ‘Leavenworth Community Wildfire Preparedness Week’ during the last week of April. Master Gardeners will be participating with a Firewise Landscaping class being held at the Wenatchee River Institute on Tuesday April 28th from 6 -7:30 PM in the Barn at the Barn Beach Reserve. More information will be posted on the WRI website. The CWSC will be in attendance as well with cost-share information and resources for property owners. Here’s to a safe and fire-wise summer! Happy Gardening.

I hate to break it to you, but summer is ending. I think you already knew this. The angle of the light creates a golden hue on everything it touches and the leaves are beginning to fade from bright green to pale yellow. Have you visited your local farmers market yet this season? If not, now is the time. Winter is long and grocery store produce is boring. The markets are full of the bounty of the season right now, and you are missing it.
This year, it feels as though fall arrived with a flip of a switch. Yet, there is still time to enjoy all of the warm weather crops that make summer so wonderful. Peaches, Nectarines, Plums, Pluots, Raspberries and Melons. Tomatoes, Peppers, Eggplant, Cucumbers, Zucchini and Onions. And although some of the treasures of summer have come and gone (The spring strawberries and garlic scapes were amazing!) the markets are adding new items on a weekly basis. In anticipation of the coming frost, we see the arrival of all of our cold weather favorites which conveniently overlap with our warm weather friends over the next couple of weeks. The market is nothing if not abundant and beautiful.
Things to look forward to in the coming weeks are the variety of Potatoes (many growers each bringing 2 or 3 different varieties, all of which are impossible to find in a traditional grocery store), the first of the Celeriac and maybe even some Brussel Sprouts or Jerusalem Artichokes. Garlic, Carrots, Kohlrabi and Beets will continue to make a strong showing as will stone ground wheat flour, artisan cheeses, honey, home baked bread and a selection of home-made wines and sauces. Apples and Pears are flooding in (with more than a few hard-to-find gems present from our local heirloom orchards) and can be bought by the case for processing or drying. Salad Greens, Collards, Kale and Chard are all still plentiful, even if you have long since run out in your own backyard plot.
At both the Leavenworth Community Farmers Market on Thursday evenings from 4-7 PM and the Wenatchee Valley Farmers Market on Saturday mornings from 8-1PM, there are Master Gardeners available to answer your plant related questions. Additional regional markets to visit include the Plain Valley Farmers Market Saturdays from 10AM-Noon, the Chelan Farmers Market Thursday evenings from 4-7 PM, the Manson Farmers Market Wednesdays and Saturdays from 8:30-11:30 AM and the Ellensburg Farmers Market Saturdays from 9AM-1PM. All markets run until mid to late October, weather depending.
A truck full of empty bins after market is the greatest compliment a farmer can receive. Take the time to pay them a visit. You will not be disappointed.
Farmers markets and fruit stands are full to the brim with a beautiful selection of winter squash. Although they make a beautiful fall display for the porch or walkway, they are also pretty darn tasty to eat. With care and proper technique, a variety of the hard-skinned squashes can be kept for months into winter and can be enjoyed as a soup or side dish for a holiday meal.
What is a winter squash? There are several species of squashes that are called ‘winter squash’, all from the genus ‘Cucurbita’. Unlike their fair weather cousins, these squash are harvested mature when the seeds have fully formed and the skin has created a tough outer shell. This is what gives the squash the ability to be stored for months before use. The trick to a long storage life is ‘curing’ the fruit for 10-14 days in a warm (not hot) and dry location directly after harvest. The curing allows for the fruit to lose a bit of its excess water which causes the flesh to sweeten due to a concentration of sugars, slows the fruit’s respiration rate which leads to a lengthened shelf life, and reduces the risk of rot. The skin on the fruit will harden during this process as well, creating the classic shell on the outside of the squash.
Not all varieties of winter squash should be cured before use. Acorn squash flesh becomes stringy after being cured and is better to be put into cold storage at 55 F or lower (but above freezing) directly after harvest. Same goes for Deilcatas, which are best kept between 45-55 F but can be stored at room temperature for up to 10 days before being turned into dinner.
The most common varieties of winter squash that should be cured prior to storage include Spaghetti Squash, Butternuts, Buttercups and Blue Hubbards. In addition to curing, proper harvest is the key to long storage. Fruits should be cut from the plant to avoid breaking off the stem. A broken stem leaves an open wound in the skin where rot will likely occur first. Those fruits with missing stems should be consumed first as they have the shortest shelf life. Secondly, only harvest undamaged, fully mature fruits for storage. The color of the fruit should be fully developed. Under-ripe fruits can still be eaten and should be the first ones that make it onto the dinner plate. Third, harvests fruits before frost whenever possible. A light frost will lessen the shelf life slightly but a hard frost will damage the skin and make long term storage impossible. Happy Gardening!

The summer is just flying by. Already it is fair season. Living in a city like Wenatchee, which straddles two different counties; locals have the option of attending two different regional fairs. The North Central Washington District Fair in Waterville will take place August 21st through 24th and the Chelan County Fair will be held September 4th through 7th at the Chelan County Fair Grounds in Cashmere.
There will, of course, be the rides and the snack foods and the trinkets for sale. But more importantly will be the barns. The last two years, I have had the pleasure of working the veggie barn at the Chelan County Fair and have assisted folks in registering their prize produce into competition. What an amazing diversity of colors, textures, sizes and shapes. I love to see what grows well for people and to see their pride in their hard work. I would encourage anyone with an interest in gardening, flower tending, canning, baking or animals to enter an item or two at either or both events this year. It can be a great thing to do as a family.
The Chelan County Master Gardeners will be present to accept items into registration and to answer questions at both fairs again this season. Entries for the Waterville Fair will be accepted Wednesday August 20th from 1-8 PM. By exhibiting at the fair, you are eligible for an ‘exhibitors pass’ at a discounted rate. Information on what is appropriate for entry and a map of the Waterville fairgrounds is available in the NCW Premium Book at the following link http://www.douglascountywa.net/ncwfair/docs/Premium-Book-2014.pdf . Please note that animal entries are due earlier than produce and flowers.
Entries for the Chelan County Fair will be accepted Wednesday September 3rd from 9 AM-8 PM. Again, exhibitors are eligible for a reduced entry into the fair. The premium book for the Chelan County Fair is available at the following link http://www.co.chelan.wa.us/fa/data/exhibitor_guide.pdf
Even if you have a small garden, only a single dahlia plant or have made just one batch of cherry jam this summer, please consider participating in this annual celebration of the harvest. Traditionally, county fairs have been a great way to come together as a community and celebrate the joys of our agricultural heritage. Without participation by all of us, a fair dies and with it dies both the memories and the knowledge of the skills that have made us who we are today. And, taking home a blue ribbon now and again can be pretty fun too!

Spring is an amazing time of year in Central Washington. Never before have I lived a place where you can both snowboard through fresh powder and sow seeds in your garden during the same day. We are fortunate to have spring come early in our part of the world. Although it may feel like a long winter to some, where I grew up the weather is still dipping below zero. I consider our almost guaranteed mild weather a gift from above and I relish the songs of the red winged blackbirds and robins who confirm my belief that winter is indeed over.
If you have not already started a few seedlings, now is the time to do it. Already at the farm, trays are filling up with starts....onions, shallots, leeks, basil, broccoli, celeriac, peppers and kohlrabi. Soon cabbage, tomatoes and eggplant will be added to the list. The high tunnels are planted to the brim with greens; little cotyledons already poking up above the dark soil.
For those of you who are living down valley, you can begin to plant your spring garden any day now. Many vegetables thrive in the cool of spring. Some of my favorites are the Asian greens. With a multitude of varieties to choose from and outstanding flavor and versatility, Asian greens are one of the underappreciated gems of the spring garden. They are fast to mature, take up very little space (compared to tomatoes or corn) and are easy to grow, making them a good choice for beginner gardeners. They are also forgiving at harvest time. These greens can be harvested at a baby size for salads or can be allowed to mature for stir fries. In Asia, these plants are typically not even harvested until they have begun to flower (when their nutrient content is at its peak). What this means for the home gardener is that you really can’t go wrong. No matter the size, these plants will remain edible and will not bitter (although the flavor changes with size). Since they are fast to mature and can tolerate cooler weather, the gardener can sow these greens early in the season, harvest as needed and then use the same garden space later on for warmer weather crops.
This year, embrace the spring vegetable gardening season whole-heartedly and free yourself from the bane of wilted grocery store produce. Allow yourself to experiment with something different...you might find a new favorite food.

GeneaJulia: February 2014
Book Review: Finding Family: My Search for Roots and the Secrets in My DNA
The last genetic genealogy book on the list! Finding Family: My Search for Roots and the Secrets in My DNA, by Richard Hill isn't really a how-to book. Instead, it's a narrative about one adoptee's search for his family.
The good: This is a story with a couple of happy "endings," as Hill was able to identify both biological parents and develop good relationships with family. The search starts in the days of phone calls and letters and ends with internet searches and DNA, and demonstrates the wide net an adoptee must cast for any possible clue.
The bad: Not to diminish Hill's work, but his case seems relatively easy -- it appears that he was just about the only person who didn't know, the adoption was handled through family connections as opposed to an agency, and only the government seems to have been trying to hide it. A huge percentage of the challenge came from logistical issues caused by the passage of time, such as tracking down people who had moved or died, rather than outright secrecy or lost records. And, it appears that a bunch of the work was done by other people, largely a volunteer with an adoptee support group.
My takeaways: This is a huge emotional minefield, not to be entered lightly. Adoptee support groups are really important. And we really need to change the laws around adoption and official records; I find the idea of certifying a falsified birth certificate repugnant as both a genealogist and a citizen.
I would suggest reading this book as a way to prepare for the mental and emotional components of an adoptee search, but not as a handbook for learning techniques for conducting such a search.

After receiving an email mentioning a 987 page (!) genealogy of one of my families, I was feeling sad that it's out of print. Googling didn't find anything helpful, and WorldCat.org suggested helpfully that the nearest copy was in a library 187 miles away. But...clicking on the Editions link in WorldCat brought up a list of 4 editions of the book, one of which was said to be digital. And clicking on that brought up a link to the Hathi Trust website, where the entire book is digitized, searchable, and free for anyone.
Lesson: WorldCat.org is your friend.
And, if you're wondering, the book is The Basye Family in the United States, by Otto Basye, and the link is http://hdl.handle.net/2027/wu.89062852876
Oddly enough, while Google didn't find the digital version of the book, it did find a description of Otto's papers, which were donated to the State Historical Society of Missouri. Apparently there are approximately 4 shelf-feet of materials, largely the research for the book.

Book Review: DNA USA: A Genetic Portrait of America by Bryan Sykes
DNA USA, by Bryan Sykes, is the next book in my genetic reading pile. It's a lot bigger than the others, and some of it is worth the extra heft. The book is about Sykes' attempt to follow up a project mapping the genetics of Britain with a project mapping the genetic history of the United States. It's divided into three parts: a review of the science and the history of the science, a narrative about the "road trip" he took while working on the project, and a very quick review of the results.
The good: The first section of the book is very interesting. There's a lot more here about Native American and African-American deep genetic history than I've seen in the other books I've read, and it's very easy to understand. Sykes writes just enough about his British projects to ground the reader and give a sense of why the USA version of this project would be hard. There's also some good history of the relationships between Native Americans and genetics research, and African Americans and medical researchers, that shows why large segments of the US community might not find DNA testing to be a good thing, and might justifiably consider it a very bad thing. And, finally, some of the results he gets, placed in context with the results of other studies, illustrate some very interesting points about race in America.
The bad: The second section is a drag. Sykes can't seem to decide whether it's a story about taking a road trip with his son, who's about to start college, or a story about how depressing Indian reservations are, or a description of a genetics project. As a result, it mostly fails in every respect. In the first case, he seems to have missed the fact that the trips in the great road trip movies he keeps referencing were, in general, taken by car, not by train. Descriptions of train stations do not a great road trip story make, even if he tells us what's on his son's iPod. Second, while it's useful to learn about the complicated and messed up history of Native Americans and genetics research, it's not really interesting to read about tours he took in which he neither discusses genetics research nor conducts any while on Native reservations. And finally, after making a nicely convincing case in the first section about how hard a genetics study would be in the US, he does what couldn't even be called a half-assed job of gathering samples -- he, for example, blows off visiting the entire South after gathering a couple of samples from some people from Atlanta that he meets in a hotel bar in San Francisco. The whole second section is self-indulgent and slow. And, since he doesn't have very many samples and he's wasted a ton of pages in the second section, the third section feels both rushed and incomplete.
Unfortunately, I can't recommend that you just read the first section and skip the other two, because he buries some very interesting things in with the tedious. Skimming is your friend, here.
My takeaways: I need to investigate African Ancestry, a DNA testing company; I wonder how it compares to FamilyTreeDNA, 23andMe, and Ancestry.com. I need to read up on some of the ethics issues involved in Native American and African American DNA testing and make sure they get covered in our DNA SIG meetings at the library.
...And I should never invite Bryan Sykes and Spencer Wells to the same party. Although it's covered in pretty language, both of them say some pretty nasty things about each other in their books.
Posted by Julia Langel at 2:58 PM No comments:
Today's genetic genealogy reading is Deep Ancestry, by Spencer Wells. I wanted to read this one after watching his RootsTech presentation.
This book isn't exactly about genetic genealogy; rather, it's about the ancestral migration of humans out of Africa and throughout the rest of the world. This is the book to read to understand what it means to get a mtDNA haplogroup result of, say, J. Wells covers both the history of the science and the history of the migrations, tying in archaeology and anthropology where appropriate. He also discusses the Genographic Project, which he directs; its purpose is to significantly increase the number of DNA tests done by members of population groups that can provide more depth to the samples used to track those migrations, including indigenous groups throughout the world.
The good: Nicely written, good balance between science and humanities, very clear explanations of the science and the history. I feel much clearer on topics like genetic drift and why genetic Eve lived so much longer ago than genetic Adam.
The bad: Written in 2006 (published in 2007), still early in the project, so there weren't any results to describe. Presumably, there are lots of very cool stories to be told now.
My takeaways: This would be a good base for understanding all those news articles about genetic discoveries. But check it out from the library -- save your money for the new book I hope Wells is writing.

Book Review: DNA & Genealogy, by Colleen Fitzpatrick and Andrew Yeiser
Number three in the genetic genealogy reading pile -- DNA & Genealogy, by Colleen Fitzpatrick and Andrew Yeiser. A couple of years newer than the Pomery book, this was published in 2005. So far, I have to say it's my favorite.
The good: Wow -- much clearer explanations of...well, almost everything! The authors start at the very beginning of what DNA is, how it is passed between generations, how it mutates, and provide very clear explanations, with diagrams and metaphors. They include sidebars to talk about genetic topics you might have been wondering about, like twins, Down syndrome and sickle cell anemia. Then they move on to what DNA testing actually tests, how to compare your results to someone else, and how to compare your results to a group of someone elses, like a surname study group; again, with specific examples and lots of diagrams and charts. To cap it all off, they even explain Bayes' Theorem and how it relates to Most Recent Common Ancestor calculations, although only probability geeks like myself will read that particular appendix.
The bad: 2005 was a long time ago, in genetic genealogy terms. This book covers Y-DNA and mtDNA very well, and autosomal DNA not at all. In addition, there are a couple of chapters that go into a lot of detail about testing companies, most of which have merged or gone out of business. It's also a little vague on the practical usefulness of mtDNA testing, although I think that may be because the practical usefulness of mtDNA testing is, well, still a little vague, so I'm not going to hold this against them.
My takeaway: Unless something better comes along, this is going to be the book I'm going to recommend at the library for people who are brand new to DNA testing, although that recommendation will come with the caveat that it omits one major type of test. I think with this book under your belt, the new book by Emily Aulicino will make a lot more sense, and will fill in the autosomal testing gap. Librarian happy dance!

DNA and Family History: How Genetic Testing Can Advance Your Genealogical Research, by Chris Pomery, is a short book and a quick read. In some ways, that may be its best feature -- you can actually read this book without furrowing your brow. Admittedly, even I could tell it was dated -- at one point in the early chapters he declares that DNA research has conclusively established that there was no human-Neanderthal interbreeding. But, in an odd way, the fact that this was written in the early days of DNA testing makes the book easier to follow, since it's not trying to cram in quite so much material.
The good: Pomery acknowledges the existence of autosomal and mitochondrial testing, but declares them off-limits for his book; he focuses on Y-DNA and surnames only. This clarity of purpose allows him to tell a reasonably coherent story about how testing works, what questions it will answer, and the steps involved in reaching a conclusion. For many folks, nailing down Y-DNA alone would be a really good starting place.
The bad: 10 years is an eternity in genetic genealogy. The website Pomery established to host all the detailed examples and references has been reformatted to market his professional services (a cautionary tale for all print-web experiments!) Although he makes references to US genealogists, his focus is really on UK surname research.
My takeaways? A good surname project coordinator is probably worth his or her weight in gold, look for context in the form of geographical distributions of surnames and haplotypes, etc, and don't write books that refer to the web for critical clarifications if you're not prepared to maintain the website.
Book Review: Genetic Genealogy: The Basics and Beyond by Emily D Aulicino
I finally gave in to temptation and ordered DNA tests for myself, my mother and my brother. Which, of course, requires a whole new course of reading. The announcement for this new book, Genetic Genealogy: the Basics and Beyond, hit my computer at about the same time that my test results did, so I ordered it...
I want to say I loved it. I really do. But unfortunately, it reads like a first draft that needs some skillful editing by someone whose expertise is technical writing rather than DNA or genealogy.
The bad: The chapters on what DNA and DNA testing are all about are circular and unclear. If I didn't already know something about this stuff, I'd be confused. I was also unsettled by the fact that the first references in the book all seemed to be to wikipedia...not precisely confidence-inspiring. Also disappointing -- the sections on chromosome mapping and phasing. I'm still not sure what phasing is and I certainly don't know how to do it or even if I want to try.
The good: The chapters on how, exactly, to proceed with testing and what to do with your results. They include tips on what to say in emails to matches, helpful spreadsheets and documents to manage your analysis, and even advice on how to convince people you don't know to get tested. This sort of thing is sorely needed, and I got the sense that the author really knows her stuff.
My takeaway: I'm going to read my way through her list of suggested reading, I'm going to work through her sections on managing matches with a spreadsheet, and I'm going to suggest that we start a DNA special interest group at the library. I'm also going to keep looking for an intro-to-DNA book to recommend to others.

Most of us who have seen the A & E version with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle did not have high expectations of the movie. What a pleasant surprise! I would have to say that although I am big fan of the A & E miniseries, if I had to choose, I would definitley choose this movie. It does a much better job of showing the class difference between Lizzy and Darcy, as well as bringing out their very contained passion. The acting is superb, and to quote Keira Knightley who is a very believable Elizabeth; Matthew Macfadyen is a very "manly" Darcy. Highly recommended.

ITEM#: 3634713
Jane Austen was born on December 16, 1775 at Steventon near Basingstoke, the seventh child of the rector of the parish. She lived with her family at Steventon until they moved to Bath when her father retired in 1801. After his death in 1805, she moved around with her mother; in 1809, they settled in Chawton, near Alton, Hampshire. Here she remained, except for a few visits to London, until in May 1817 she moved to Winchester to be near her doctor. There she died on July 18, 1817. As a girl Jane Austen wrote stories, including burlesques of popular romances. Her works were only published after much revision, four novels being published in her lifetime. These are Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1816). Two other novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, were published posthumously in 1818 with a biographical notice by her brother, Henry Austen, the first formal announcement of her authorship. Persuasion was written in a race against failing health in 1815-16. She also left two earlier compositions, a short epistolary novel, Lady Susan, and an unfinished novel, The Watsons. At the time of her death, she was working on a new novel, Sanditon, a fragmentary draft of which survives. When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited; he is indifferent to her good looks and lively mind. When she later discovers that Darcy has involved himself in the troubled relationship between his friend Bingley and her beloved sister Jane, she is determined to dislike him more than ever. In the sparkling comedy of manners that follows, Jane Austen shows the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships, gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life.

The 30-06 round had a tiny bit more kickback than i would like, seeing as my shoulder is a bit sore after the weekend. For now I want to try to find something I can use to go shoot targets at 50-100 yards at the range.
I don't know very much about firearms in general so any information is appreciated. Edit: Do i even need to spend that much money? I only know that's about my upper limit i can budget for right now.

permalinksave[–]calibos 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago* (0 children)sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted onYou can find bare bones or used AR-15s for under $700. That is actually what I'd recommend you go for. Also consider AK-47s or Mini-14/30s. If you want to add a scope, steer clear of the AK-47 unless you do some research into the side mounted AK scopes and know what to look for. Really, anything you really like the looks of, fits in your price range, and shoots .223/5.56 x45, 7.62 x 39, or 5.45 x 39 will be a fine choice.
Some people might get on me for these being bad first guns. That isn't true at all. They're cheap to shoot for rifles, very reliable, have easily handled recoil, and you can "trick them out" with all sorts of accessories. Also, they look cool and are satisfying to shoot. While I almost always shoot my Ruger 10/22 in preference to my other rifles now, I consider .22 to be an acquired taste. Owning and firing a 10/22 exclusively isn't as fun as owning a military style rifle. Firing a 10/22 is all about honing your shooting skills and kind of getting into the "zen" of shooting, not shooting solely for the sake of having fun. I'm not saying it isn't fun. They're a blast, but it still always feels like "practice" for the bigger guns. If you don't have a bigger gun to practice for, I could see it becoming boring for you. Get something you love first and get the practice gun when you want to get better. I can pretty guarantee that nobody in this thread actually started with a 10/22. They just think that, in retrospect, it might have been a good idea. They forget that quietly shooting a nickel sized group of nearly invisible holes at a target 50 yards away was not what got them hooked on firearms in the first place. permalinksavegive gold[–]meatjesus1 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (2 children)sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted onlook into a bolt action .223. Remington and Savage would be a good place to start. permalinksavegive gold[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (1 child)sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted onI've got 3 .223's. One bolt, and 2 semi-auto. They're really fun to punch paper with but if I ever wanted to hunt with them, I'd be pretty limited in what animals I could ethically hunt. OP, If ALL you ever intended to do was shoot targets, then yea, go for a .223. If you think at some point you might want to hunt deer or something, then you'll need a large caliber. permalinksaveparent[–]hateplow169 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted oni bought my .30-06 just because of the hunting factor i have a .22LR for target practice but there is something satisfying about squeezing the trigger on my .30-06 however i get sad knowing i just put a dollar down range.

U.S. Rifle, Cal 30, M1 also known as the Garand for $700. You have to jump through a couple of hoops, but they are no big deal at all. http://www.odcmp.com/
The Garand is a good bit heavier than what you shot and is gas operated, so that all amounts to much less recoil than you experienced. permalinksavegive gold[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted onRuger 10/22.

I have one, and it's OK, but I like my Henry .22 lever-action better. I'm not entirely sure why. Maybe it's because my fingers don't get sore loading it the way they do with the 10/22 magazine, or maybe I like the lever better than semi-auto, or it could be that the Henry is just prettier. I got the one with the octagonal barrel. Sweet little gun. I tried .22 shorts in it last weekend just for kicks. It was so quiet I and everyone else at the range had to laugh. It was only slightly louder than a BB gun. :-)

It has a pretty thick cushion pad on it factory (probably 2") and i've had excellent luck with it so far. I think it is one of my best purchases as an adult. I gun hunt during deer season, target/range shoot for fun, and blast the occasional ferral hog with it, always performs, always accurate.
