$2 Bills in Sutherlin
A memory from Helaine Hepworth…
As Timber Valley was just getting started, some of the citizens of Sutherlin were not so sure that we were important or an asset to the town. So the directors of the Park worked with a local bank and the park members converted their spending cash to $2 bills and then spent them in town. Local merchants, seeing piles of $2 bills in their tills, quickly learned that our members were indeed a valuable asset. That was 30 years ago. Sutherlin doesn’t need to see $2 bills anymore. They know we are a big part of Sutherlin.

Anne Arnette
The flags were flown at half staff on July 31, 2018 to mark the passing of Anne Arnette. Anne and her husband James were long time members of Timber Valley. They left the park a few years ago and made their home in California.
James also passed away recently. Timber Valley sends their condolences to their family and friends.
Successful Tour of the Discovery Gardens
Gardens discovered is more like it! Fifteen people walked among over 20 different gardens getting a behind the scenes tour of work being done there by the many Master Gardeners. At an adjacent Victory Garden some gardeners were harvesting vegetables for donation to UCAN that are then distributed to local food pantries and community kitchens. Master Gardeners Jude Stenslund and Kish Doyle provided a very interesting and informative tour in an environment that beckoned us to linger and come back.
The Discovery Garden, at River Forks County Park, is open year round (decreased hours during winter). The Master Gardeners have developed this garden for community use and enjoyment. Their goal “is to enhance and preserve the beauty and quality of the environment by using sustainable gardening practices”.

Wednesday Ramblings
Addendum: the diligent website crew editor missed the error in this posts title. “Ramplings” was supposed to be “Ramblings”. Oh well, we try.
Your diligent website crew has a couple new things to check out.
In an effort to bring more photos into the website for your enjoyment, we’re experimenting with a photo page with links to albums of some of the things going on at Timber Valley. It’s currently under the “about” tab in the main menu… just click on the “photos” menu item. There you’ll see mention of recent events. Click on the event you’re interested in and you’ll see photos from that event. Clicking on the first photo will make it appear larger. You can use your arrow keys to flip through the album.
There are additional lots up for trade in the next few days. And don’t miss the weekly Timber Valley Log that’s published every Wednesday.
Bob Feiler led an intrepid group on a walk/hike on the Happy Hill Trail this afternoon. If you haven’t checked it out, please do so soon. Here’s a quick pic of the group:
