MORE SESQUICENTENNIAL EVENTS
 
INDEPENDENCE:  "Writing our Watershed" is the title of a book to be featured at 1:30 p.m. Feb. 14 at the Heritage Museum. Eight of the 13 essay authors of the essays will read from and sign books at the museum, 112 S. Third St. After the free reading, visitors can take a tour through the museum*s displays including expanded additions to the Western Oregon University, military room and state anniversary displays. "Writing Our Watershed" was released last fall by the Luckiamute
Watershed Council, after a group of farmers, landowners, scientists and residents in the Luckiamute River and Ash Creek watersheds learned to write personal essays - a genre most of them had never tried before. The book, edited by Gail Oberst, includes essays by historian Arlie Holt, Buena Vista landowner Kirk Lewis, Shawn Irvine of the City of Independence, master gardener Jo Yeager, ecologist Phil Larsen of Corvallis, landowners Ron Nestlerode of Airlie and Tammee Stump of Monmouth, farmers Howard and Linda Grund-Clampit of Monmouth, and
others. For more information about the Luckiamute Watershed Council and its work, visit http://luckiamute.watershedcouncils.net/ 
 
PENDLETON:  On Feb. 14, the Heritage Station museum will hold a birthday party celebrating Oregon's sesquicentennial, 150 years old. Festivities are from noon-4 p.m. Included in the celebrations are the Pendleton Woolen Mills and rodeo clown Monk Carden, both of whom will

SALEM: The University of Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural History has mounted in the Oregon State Capitol an exhibit of Pacific Northwest maps created in the 19th century. The earliest map was drawn before Thomas Jefferson sent Lewis and Clark west.  The exhibit will be on
