On June 17 Loran Wiese and Dennis  Graham will be in Sun River to present  Coquille’s River Walk trail project proposal  to the state committee which will decide  which of 68 projects applying for funds  actually get funded this year. The project  committee hopes to pave as much of the  multi use pathway as the grant and locally  raised funds will allow. The project continues  selling honor bricks to raise funds for  the project. Purchase forms are available at  the community center, city hall and the  Sentinel office. These bricks will ultimately  become a part of the trail surface between  the parking area near Fat Tuesdays and the  trestle. Two sizes are available (4"x8" and  8"x8") at $50.00 and $75.00 respectively.  Sample bricks can be seen at the Sentinel  office and in the community center near the  entry to the large auditorium.

Hanging flower baskets are up! Seiya  Nishi says the cool weather this spring  slowed the growth of the flowers in the  baskets. He expects that the warmer weather  we have been enjoying recently will  accelerate their growth over the next few  weeks. The time for watering crews to start  their scheduled runs began last week. The  hanging flower basket project committee  says that they can still use a few more volunteers  for manning the watering truck this  summer. Watering is done on Tuesday and  Thursday each week and takes about 1 ½  hours to make the rounds. The committee  says that the more 3-person crews that are  signed up, the less frequently each crew has  to be on duty. Interested persons can sign up  at the Coquille Garden Shop on Central  between Curves and the Motel.  The Western Oregon Wind project has  transferred its prototype wind turbine production  to Reedsport

They report that production  is progressing well. The funds for  installing demonstration units for use by  Coquille and Bay area schools are still progressing  through the US Congressional  approval processes in Washington, DC.  Initial performance estimates indicate the  school installations will generate more power  than needed for school use, thereby pumping  surplus electricity into the Northwest Power  Grid. The project hopes that revenues from  sales of surplus power is enough to help the  involved school districts with their current  budget problems.

Operation Welcome provides newcomers  special bags containing information about  services and merchants in Coquille. Earlier  this year bags were going out at the rate of  about one per week. During May the rate has  dropped to none, but it is expected that activity  will pick up in the summer. Newcomers,  or those knowing of newcomers, are invited  to call the Sentinel phone number (396-3191)  and ask for Dian with their requests for these  welcoming bags. The objective of this project  is to help newcomers get situated and familiar  with where they can find locally the  goods and services they need for every day  life.  Operation Coquille Inc. needs more volunteer  members willing to help carry out  community benefit projects for improving  our quality of life. Individuals can become  members by coming into the Sentinel office  on First St., completing a membership form,  and leaving the form with a dues payment on our desk. (Dues are only $20 per year.)

The show has always begun  with the traditional Can Can  and ended with a patriotic  Finale. This year will be no  exception. What will be  new is the melodrama play  and the Olio numbers which  will be performed. The  play, based on Coquille's  long history with baseball is  called "The Pride Of The  Sawdust League" or "Three  Strikes And You're Out"  The Olios continue their tradition  of entertaining and  engaging the audience with  all the surprises they have in  store. Audience participation  is encouraged and the  popcorn is free and plentiful.

Tickets may be purchased  at Bree's Upscale  Resale in Coquille or by  calling (541) 396-4563.

Garden with Brook Settle
June To-Do’s  White flies were attacking  my roses, but without  time or energy to address  this problem, it seems that  something, maybe in the  wasp family, predated these  critters. I’m not watering  much, with a nice thick  layer of mulch covering  most areas of my garden,  and soaker hoses laid out.

Weeds are ever present, and  need to be pulled before  going to seed, but this actually  doesn’t take very long,  the fuller my garden beds  get. Weeds like poorer soil  and more sun than I provide  them.  The fruit trees all are  apparently happy, having  had the winter sprays for  pests and diseases, all  except for my peach trees,  which are suffering badly, in  spite of multiple sprays.

The  raspberries are being trained  against a warm south-facing  wall. I’ve been tucking  seedlings into my raised  vegetable beds after I transition  them slowly from  indoor to outdoor life. My  tomato cloche is built and  shelters not only tomatoes,  but pumpkins, cucumbers,  and melon, all which prefer  a warmer climate than I can  otherwise offer. My biggest  chore this month is edging  out the ever present grass  that likes to grab my plants  water and nutrients.  What should you do?  Mulch. Plant. Weed.

Watch  for pests, especially slugs,  snails, cabbage worms and  moths. Go easy on the  chemicals. Start or turn your  compost pile. Start strawberries  and vegetables. The  soil should be warm enough  now for just about all vegetables.  Plant gradually: a  little this week, a little next  week of crops like lettuce  and carrots, so that you have  some through the weeks,  and not all at once.

Cover  crops like carrots with fine  mesh to prevent cabbage  moths from laying eggs.  Plant summer bulbs. Prune  spring flowering bushes  such as lilacs and rhododendrons.  Relax. Enjoy.
