What’s Up at CECC?Submitted by Linda & Mindy Brewer
This has been a month to talk about weather, which we did at the Center earlier in June. Unfortunately, when it was time to learn about rain, we had to make it rain on the stove with steam and ice. We’re still waiting for it to actually rain. But we haven’t had to wait for hot weather to bring out the hoses and slip and slide. We’ve watered a few spots in the yard thoroughly. We’ve also tried to keep our garden plants watered. In May, the preschoolers planted peas, pumpkins, tomatoes, potatoes and some zinnias. Now we are picking quite a few cherry tomatoes to have for lunch. It’s true that if kids have grown something, they are more likely to eat it. We’re holding out hope for our pumpkins, but hope is fading for the peas. Since the fourth of July, our topic has been the Revolutionary War. The storyteller at the enrichment class on July 3rd, told stories about Washington and the Boston Tea Party, so we decided to expand on that. We read some books, watched some videos and did some crafts related to that time. We even made homemade root beer and liberty tea, which everyone enjoyed, and Indian corn pudding, which was not so much enjoyed. The enrichment classes will end on July 31, and we want to thank the teachers in July: Heather Ploen, Molly Gurnicz, Krista Johnson and the Durham Western Heritage Museum. ( a plug for the Durham’s special exhibit Mind Bender Mansion: it is lots of fun and great for kids and adults.) We hope to have a “talent show” to show off what the kids learned during the classes and will publicize it when it is planned. Since the last column, we have welcomed D.J., Riley and Chyanne to our class. As always, we have several people to thank for working on things for us. Steve Hultman has spent a lot of time working on our flower garden and has thinned out the iris and planted new flowers. It looks great. Mike Harmon, Mike and Kris Hopkins, Steve Hultman and Jeremy Hansen spent a fair amount of time on our sidewalk. They were out to fix a leak which turned out to be a hole in the wall. So they had to break up the sidewalk and pour new cement the next day. They called on Brian Shea to bring down his giant cement saw. We thank them all very much! As hard as it is to believe, “big school” starts in a month. Our preschool class will not begin until the day after Labor Day, but if you are thinking of enrolling a child, please contact us soon. Likewise if you are in need of full day care for your preschool-aged child, contact us so we have an idea of our numbers for fall. You may e-mail [email protected] or call for more information or to set up a visit.

Thank you to Bob Hansen who called on the photo. His great uncle, Monte Hansen, owned the building in the 30’s. At that time it was a repair garage. He recalls the propeller on the nose of the “plane” turning.

In late August, when it is quite dry, Native American tribes used to do a rain dance. Many Native Americans still perform the ritual today, and it can be seen on several reservations in the United States. Men and women gathered together for a rain dance and wore special headdresses and clothing. The jewels used in the clothing, such as turquoise, had special significance, as well as the patterns on the clothing and the use of goat hair in the headdresses. These special clothes were worn every year for the rain dance, and usually were stored the entire year for this purpose. The steps of the rain dance itself are quite intricate, and unlike circle dances, which are seen in many Native American ceremonies, the men and women stood in separate lines and made zigzagging patterns. It is significant that, while many Native American rituals involved only men, or at least, were more concerned with their influence, the rain dance involved both men and women, showing the importance of rain to the entire community. This rain dance was meant to bring rain for the entire year or for a specific season. Something to think about!

out all your clothes and all your
money. Then take half the clothes
and twice the money.
