Living History
Storyteller, musician and living history performer Karen Haas was at Mountain Meadow Elementary School in Buckley Thursday. Her two shows, “Westword Ho!” and “A Visit With Mother Foss,” were presented to third- and fourth-grade students. Haas, dressed in period attire, talked to fourth-grade students about life on the Oregon Trail during her one-hour stint. She even tried a hat, which would have been worn by a young man in 1855, on David Prendergast. Haas’ state-funded visit is part of a program to connect cultures and keep humanities alive. The second performance covered Thea Foss and her husband Andrew’s arrival from Norway in Tacoma in 1889. Mountain Meadow’s Penny Keating, who was overseeing the program, said she was thankful to the Washington state legislators for funding the program. - Photo by Brenda Sexton To view and buy photos go to www.courierherald.com Dec 09 2008, 1:42 AM

Krain corner
This photo shows the original Krain tavern and boarding house, circa 1900. This building stood at the intersection of Southeast 400th Street and state Route 169 at the location of the existing Krain restaurant, which replaced it. This earlier building was constructed in the 1890s but torn down in 1907. The rooms upstairs were used as boarding quarters for local miners, farmhands and loggers. The area north of Enumclaw was originally settled by Slovenians who named the area Krain, which meant “at the foot of the hills” in their native language. The original of this photo was provided by Lee Keeney. - Dec 09 2008, 1:43 AM
