The Soap Creek School House On Soap Creek Road, there is a schoolhouse from
early 1930s. The Soap Creek School House will be fixed. They will be
fixing the roof, siding, and window frames. A fundraiser was going on to get
enough money to fix the School House. The total money raised is $6962. Also,
The State Agency of Historical Preservation is paying for a matching grant.
For example, say we raised $5000. The State Agency…would pay another $5000. The schoolhouse was built By Pete
Johansen who was a bachelor. No one knows the exact date the Soap Creek
Schoolhouse was built, but sometime around the 1930s is right. It is the only
one-room schoolhouse in the Benton County area that is being kept in its
original condition, it’s original site, and it’s original use as a school.
When the schoolhouse was still in use, grades one through eight were taught
there. The subjects were reading, geography, history, music, history, math,
language, health, spelling, art, handwriting, and science. The Soap Creek
Schoolhouse was closed when Camp Adair bought the land for troop training. It
was reopened in 1945. But it was closed again in 1946 when all the Corvallis
School District closed all one-room schoolhouses and the students were sent
to Mountain View School. School Description The
School House has two little rooms along with a large classroom there is the
teachers room and the coat room it has broad white steps up to the entry way
where a long rope is hanging, when the rope is tugged the schoolhouse bell
rings which many boys and girls may have heard long ago to beckon them to
school. In back
of the schoolhouse is a wood shed falling apart with some firewood stacked
up. Still standing halfway is an
outhouse, and another that has collapsed almost completely. |

Spring Salad
3 young
carrots, no old tough ones allowed. (If you can find ones with the top still
on they will be the best.) ½ c
chopped parsley, (I have really good parsley, if anyone wants some I have
some to spare.) 1
garlic clove 2 t.
red wine vinegar, (or fresh lemon juice) 2
tablespoons extra virgin olive oil Salt
and pepper to taste Directions: Peel
and wash the carrot. Grate the
carrots into fine threads; use the smaller holes on the grater. (If you are
feeling lazy you can finely chop them, or use a food processor) Pick
the leaves off the parsley. Wash and
dry the leaves and chop finely. Peel
garlic clove and mash with a little bit of salt, add the vinegar and oil and
mix together very well with a fork. Add
carrots and parsley. You can now eat
the salad by itself, or place on top of spring lettuce. By Mrs.

Gardening Tips

Seed TipsI
always have seed left from last year’s garden. Here is an idea from Martha Stewart for testing to see if the
seed are still worth the effort of planting. Seeds
saved from past gardens may be worth sowing—but only if they pass this test:
Fold ten seeds in a moist paper towel, place in re-seal able bag, mark with
date and type. Watch to see how many germinate. Multiply that number by 10 to
calculate the percent of germinations. More than 70 percent is passing. If
between 40 and 60 percent, sow thickly. Below 40 percent, it’s best to buy
fresh seed. By
Paula LaMont with help from Martha Stewart |
Planting Alert!!It is
now time to plant peas, carrots and lettuce.
If you plant parsley, in no time at all you will have the ingredients
for spring salad. Parsley and lettuce
grow quite happily in a pot, side by side.
The First Alternative Cooperative has nice lettuce, spinach and herb
starts, this very minute. Farmer’s
Market has started, too. |
