Bob Ross has a new flag flying on his flag pole at his home that was given to him by Loren Miller, the chiropractor. It is a replica of what was known as George Washington’s Tree Flag.  The following is taken from a website found in a google search showing several Revolutionary War era flags: “This flag was used by George Washington on his own personal navy of six schooners which he outfitted at his own expense in the fall of 1775. Ever the diplomat, Washington chose the New England Pine Tree motif as a symbol of unity and solidarity  between the northern and southern colonies.  It was later modified and adopted by the Massachusetts Navy. The Sons of Liberty would rally under a large tree, in Boston Massachusetts, which came to be known as "The Liberty Tree". This tree became a symbol of American independence. Knowing they were up against a great military power they believed they were sustained by still a greater power, thus their ‘APPEAL TO HEAVEN.’” Click on each photo for a larger view.

The Cottonwood City Crew has been building up the base, prepping East St. for the surfacing work scheduled to be done on Thursday. Tuesday morning they had just run a water truck over it to keep it wet so it will take the surfacing treatment better. The Elementary School parking lot has also been getting prepped and will get a BST treatment as well. Click on the photo for a larger view..

The young ladies on the combine above have been identified. It turns out they are the 3 daughters of Calvin and Kathleen Niswander of Craigmont. The photo was likely taken by either Calvin or Kathleen. Front from left is Linda Thompson, a missionary in Thailand. The middle girls is Carol Bennett, who retired recently from Walla Walla Community College in Clarkston and at right is Cheryl Poxleitner of Craigmont who recently retired after 34 years with the Highland School District. Poxleitner said they had no clue there was an undeveloped roll of film in that camera and Kevin Price, who found the roll of film told her he had a heck of a time getting it developed as no one wanted to touch it due to the age of the film. Poxleitner is the wife of Errol Poxleitner who owned Bud’s Saw Service for many years. Click on the photo for a larger view.
