4 guests of Dog Bark Park from India visited with
Don Tacke at the Tacke Farm. On Thursday, June 12. The gentleman in the
photo wearing the black turban (right side of photo) is a retired farmer
in India where he grew cotton & rice. Like the Tacke Farm, his
is a family business with his sons & grandsons now in charge of operations.
Both farmers discussed similarities and differences between US and Indian
farm practices. The guests were thrilled and amazed to see the equipment
& vast fields of crops. India used to heavily rely on imported
grains but are more self-sufficient in that regard now, although farm practices
there are not as large or efficient as in America. Photo provided by Frances
Conklin. Click on the photo for a larger view.

On Flag Day, Saturday, June 14 the Boy Scouts of Troop
638 from Cottonwood participated in a flag retirement ritual hosted by
the Alice Whitman Chapter of the DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution)
at the Veterans Home in Lewiston. The troop had the pleasure of retiring
several flags all of different sizes from businesses and individuals. The
DAR retirement ceremony differs from the BSA ceremony as the flags are
burnt by stripe (while naming the original colony) followed by the union
(stars) whereas the troop ceremony presents the flag as whole and is burnt
in one piece. The program was organized by DAR Chaplain Elizabeth Hess
who is also Chairman Flags of the United States of America. Presenting
the flags to be retired was Vice Regent Judy Wutzke. Troop 638 participated
in the Folding Ceremony of the Flag of the United States of America as
well as presented and retired the colors. Approximately 40 were present
for the ceremony including several resident veterans of the home with friends
and family of the DAR and Troop. DAR members from left: Jill Nock,
Doris Lohrey-Birch, Darlene Larson, Ellen Gilliland, Rebecca Riendeau,
Barbara Crossler, Cassandra Beth, Gaylynn Bengtson, Julie Riendeau,
Elizabeth Hess, Karen Hunter, Judi Wutzke and Joye Dillman. Scouts in the
back row from left: Blaze Berdoy, Carson Schmidt, Anthony Karel, Hunter
Chaffee, Kevin Tillinghast and Shari Chaffee. Photo by Rhonda Schmidt.
