A German-themed dinner and beverages were provided by Jill and Dan Nystrom of The Rusty Moose, featuring bratwurst with sauerkraut, German cucumber salad, potatoes, and slaw, topped off with German Chocolate Cake donated by our local Safeway grocery store. Museum artifacts provided entertainment as part of the Museum Trivia game activity: Prussian Helmet from WW1, an Armadillo taxidermy handbag from Mexico, “Talc-em Brush” for powdering baby’s behind, Medicine/Ceremonial Rattle made from Deer dew-claws belonging to Simon Francis, and a white granite “Mano” once belonging to Catherine Francis, used for scrubbing hair from soaked hides were among the pieces from the Museum’s collection. Cal Russell, Society President and emcee, led the group in the heads/tails/50/50 game netting the winner half the “pot,” which was won by Laurie Edwards who promptly donated it back to the Museum.

Beware of white rot in your garlic and garden
While garlic is easy and fun to grow here in Boundary County, there are some serious soil-borne diseases that can affect your ability to grow this crop. This year, a garlic sample from the GROW Community Garden on the grounds of the Trinity Lutheran Church tested positive for white rot (Stromatinia cepivora). White rot affects all Allium species, including onions, shallots and garlic. It is also highly contagious and easily spread through the small, black sclerotia the disease produces. Sclerotia (plural = sclerotia, individual = sclerotium) are tough survival structures of the white rot fungus that can potentially survive in the soil for decades. Sclerotia are very small, about a quarter of the size of the ball point of a pen or the size of a poppy seed. An infected bulb can produce hundreds of sclerotia – meaning over just a few seasons the soil can become severely infested with the pathogen.
Black Cottonwood: The tree that snows!
“Trees, for example, carry the memory of rainfalls. In their rings we read ancient weather — storms, sunlight, and temperatures, the growing seasons of centuries. A forest shares a history, which each tree remembers even after it has been falled.” — Anne Michaels
