Where the Roses Smell the Best playfully celebrates what makes Portland special and is a fun read for newcomers and natives alike. This school-community enterprise represents the kind of social innovation that makes Portland strong.—Charlie Hales, Mayor, City of Portland
Magic happens when fresh imaginations tackle a publishing project that challenges their understanding of where they live and con-nects them with the larger creative community. And big magic follows when they reach out to that community to create a literary collage of Portland’s many talented voices—diverse in so many ways, unified in so many others. Where the Roses Smell Best is an educational milestone and a tantalizing treat: mind candy to be en-joyed by those who know our home place and those who soon will. —Dennis Stovall, Oregon author, publisher, and educator
The story of Roosevelt High School has, in recent years, redefined what is possible when churches, high schools and urban commu-nities rally together. How cool, then, that Roosevelt now has a publishing center that allows young writers to share their enraged, inspired and unapologetic voices with us.—Steve Duin, Metro columnist, The Oregonian

COOKING WITH NONI
APPETIZERS

Note: The traditional version of this
recipe often calls for the dry
cured olives. I don’t like them
so I use Kalamatas. Try both
and use what you like. Also,
both the two types of oranges
I have used are juicy and sweet.
The navel is seedless and the
Valencia has just a few seeds.
Buy the ones that are in greater
supply—that’s a hint that they
are in season somewhere and
so they are usually sweeter.
Fig Preserves
These preserves will keep in the refrigerator for only a month and should be
frozen if you are keeping them longer than that.
You will need:2 pounds light skinned, medium sized figs (20 or so), stemmed and
quartered.
½ cup sugar
¼ cup water
¼ cup honey
¼ cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon salt
Combine all ingredients in a medium sized saucepan. Bring to a boil over
medium high heat. Reduce heat and simmer for about 50 minutes or until
thick and syrupy, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let cool.
You will get about 2 ½ cups which can be ladled into jars and refrigerated.
If you are unsure about the thickness, spoon a little on a saucer and place
in the freezer for a few minutes to see if it has a jamlike consistency.
Note:I did use the Adriatic figs,
which are green skinned with
white flesh and a pink seedy
area. You could try Calimyrnas
or others that are available.
Figs are very expensive at the
market so, if you don’t get a
bargain, buying the preserves
may be a better option.
Oranges with Oil and
Olives
I really wasn’t sure where to put this recipe. I have used it as an appetizer or
as a side dish and also with a dessert buffet. I think it works well at any time, is
refreshing and contains an unusual combination of flavors. I was surprised that
the grandkids like it too. You can decide on the amounts you want to use. The
recipe is mostly about the process.
You will need:Oranges, navel or valencia
Olive Oil
Black Olives dry cured, kalamata or your choice
Sea Salt and freshly ground pepper
Using a very sharp knife, cut a small slice from the top and bottom of oranges.
Standing an orange on end on your serving plate, remove the peel in a similar
fashion as you would a pineapple. You must remove all of the white but try to
not remove any of the actual meat of the fruit. By working on the plate you will
not lose any of the juice. Cut slices a bit over ¼ inch and continue with other
oranges. You usually can get 5 slices per orange.
Arrange the slices attractively on a platter and drizzle a few tablespoons of
olive oil over the top. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and then scatter a few olives
around and on top of the oranges.

Night LaNdiNg
“I am giving up the landmarks by which I might be taking my bearings.”
—Antoine de Saint-Expury, pilot
The hours that counted were measured by how much sand
was left in my pocket after charming you on the beach,
by the derivative of a voice over the single engine
as I remembered
back that far. You know,
time is not what I wanted—
fly past the horizon enough
and the moon on the starboard side
cuts visibility in half every time.
Besides, it’s change in atmospheric pressure that’s going to get us all in
the end, anyway.
No, when hovering
over the Sargasso Sea
at night looking for landmarks,
it was etymology I wanted,
anthropological evidence it’s not words that remain,
it’s the space left when it quiets, the assumption of miracles.
And now it is morning
even though it is still dark,
it is morning—not last night, not last year,
it is morning.
On this earth it is always morning, somewhere.
Kirsten Rian
Love arrow
Uncovering the street and you inside me, come to me
Quite how the other’s leg
Thin golden skin closing firmly change that course
Fathoms beyond, if love brave
It’s hard to change good people but no oh so allow
A pattern knocking—who are you? enraptured
You’re a part of the world
OpensA rusted silo deserves a tree growing love ants
Weep for me now
