Time will roll back in Lafayette to 1847 for this
year's Lafayette Heritage Days, marking the founding of
the community by Joel Perkins. He named the city after
his home town of Lafayette, Indiana.
Bonita S. Pursel is coordinator for this years' event to
be held August 8 and 9 and invites anyone interested in
participating to attend the meetings at her home at 1333
N. Adams, Lafayette, at 7 pm on the first Tuesday of each
month. For more information contact her at
503-864-8614.
Plans are already being made to hold a high school
class reunion for all graduates of Lafayette High School, a
performance by the Firehouse Youth Ministry Choir,
competitive games and such things as an egg toss, water
balloon toss, tug-of-war and watermelon eating contest.
How do I get started?
First of all, consider your goals (attracting birds,
controlling erosion, etc.) Next, consider the existing
conditions of the planting area (shade/shun, wet/dry, etc.)
Following that, do some research. Many books and web
sites provide information on naturescaping and the Master
Gardeners at OSU Extension can provide a ton of practical
advice. Finally, once you have decided what to grow, you
will need to prepare the site (remove weeds, work the
soil, etc.) and do the planting.
Where can I obtain native plants?
The Yamhill Soil and Water Conservation District can
answer any questions you may have regarding native
plants and has a huge native plant sale every February. To
obtain order forms either contact the SWCD at (503)
472-6403 or go directly to their website at
www.yamhillswcd.org. The SWCD web site also contains
photos of native plants and many of their key characteris-
tics.
'native '
In the midst of winter many gardeners' thoughts turn
to the upcoming planting season. One of the fastest grow-
ing schools of gardening and landscape design is that of
naturescaping. This column, provided by the Yamhill Soil
and Water Conservation District staff, will provide some
basic insights into this rewarding practice.
What is naturescaping?
Simply put, naturescaping is landscaping using native
plants. By re-establishing native plants in yards and gar-
dens, naturescaping allows people and nature to coexist.
Why consider naturescaping?
Gallery presents One Flew
Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Ken Kesey's "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"
will be performed at Gallery Theater January 10 to Feb.
1st. Jan. 11 will be a special Dinner Theater Night,
benefiting the Jerry Paine Scholarship Fund & Gallery.
For more details call 503-472-2227.
Gallery Theater is located at 210 North Ford,
McMinnville. Performances will be on Fridays and Satur-
days at 8 pm with Sunday matinee at 3 pm. Call for
reservations.
First of all, naturescaping is easier than traditional
landscaping. Getting non-native flowers, trees, and Free flowerine
trees
grasses to grow well takes a lot of energy, chemicals, and
J- - C~
hard work. Also, some exotic species, such as English
ivy, can easily spread out of control and harm the envi-
ronment.
Unlike. introduced species, native plants grow very
well here with minimal care. They are adapted to our
summer droughts and are naturally attractive to wildlife.
Native plants are well suited to our climate and soils, so
once they're established you don't have to constantly wa-
ter or adjust the pH of the soil. They are often more resis-
tant to local pests and diseases, so there's little need to
apply chemicals.
Allowing a corner of your yard to go native also pro-
vides a place for wildlife. Native plants have evolved for
millennia along with the thousands of other species that
live here. A single plant species may directly and in-
directly serve up to 50 other species of fungi, insects, in-
vertebrates, and other organisms, not counting the larger
wildlife, such as songbirds.
Are native plants attractive?
Yes! there are beautiful native species that will fit
every niche of your garden. Many varieties of perennial
flowers, flowering shrubs, and stately shade trees are
available, and they offer a wealth of possibilities to every
landowner.
offered for donation
Ten free flowering trees will be given to each person
who joins the National Arbor Day Foundation during
January 2003.
The free trees are part of the nonprofit Foundation's
Trees for America campaign. The ten trees are two White
Flowering Dogwoods, two flowering Crabapples, two
goldenraintrees, two Washington hawthorns and two
American redbuds.
"These compact trees were selected for planting in
large or small spaces," John Rosenow, the Foundation's
president said. "They will give your home the beauty of
lovely pink, white and yellow flowers -- and also provide
winter berries and nesting sites for songbirds."
The trees will be shipped postpaid at the right time for
planting between February 1 and May 31 with enclosed
planting instructions. The six to twelve inch trees are
guaranteed to grow or they will be replaced free of
charge.
Members also receive a subscription to the Founda-
tion's bimonthly publication, Arbor Day, and The Tree
Book with information about tree planting and care.

Attorney General Hardy Myers has announced that
the Department of Justice, along with officials from 52
other jurisdictions, will receive $300,000 as a part of a
$51.5 million nationwide settlement with the Ford Motor
Company resolving allegations of deceptive trade practices
relating to the sales and advertising of Ford SUVs.
The states alleged that Ford failed to disclose a known
safety risk concerning tire failures with certain FirestOne
ATX and Wilderness AT tires, which came equipped on
some Ford SUV's. Other allegations included that Ford's
advertising misled consumers as to the safe use of Ford
SUVs, and that certain aftermarket tires sold through
Ford's "Around the Wheel" program were the same tires
as the tires that came equipped on Ford SUVs when that
was not true.
The settlement will be used to mount a nationwide
public service consumer education campaign on SUVs.
The remainder will be used to pay the costs of the states'
investigation.
The states alleged that Ford continued to use the tires
even after the company knew the tires had an unacceptably
high failure rate and that using the tires made Ford's
SUVs more like to roll over. The states also alleged that
Ford advertising exaggerated the safe loading capacity and
maneuverability of Ford SUVs, and that Ford deceptively
advertised aftermarket tires as original equipment tires.

Attorney General Hardy Myers is alerting Span-
ish-speaking Oregonians about false identification cards
being marketed in the state and announced the f'ding of a
court action against a Wilsonville company that sold these
cards through a Spanish language periodical.
Named in an Assurance of Voluntary Compliance
filed in Marion County Circuit Court is Joma Enterprises
Inc. Department of Justice investigators found that J(
Guzman of Wilsonville, president of Joma Enterprises an'to
owner of "Puertolandia," a Spanish language periodical,
sold the identification cards to hundreds of consumers in
the mid-Willamette Valley through ads in his publication.
The cards sold for $35 each and included the con-
sumer's picture, the word "OREGON" prominently dis-
played as if to identify the "issuing state," and the symbol
of an eagle that resembled a United States government
seal. The advertisements claimed that the cards were
"completely legal and valid for five years."
Both Joma Enterprises and Lu Enterprises agreed to
stop selling the cards, pay restitution to anyone who re-
quests a refund and each paid the Department of Justice
$2,000 for its Consumer Protection and Education Fund.
