We shared this one. Caramelized maple syrup, homemade bread, and powered sugar. If your in Toronto and you are in the mood for brunch I highly recommend Saving Grace on Dundas. West. After an almost 4 mile walk I was famished. We arrived at 10am which was fortunate because we were at the front end of a large group of people with the same idea. The place had a total of about 10 tables with minimalist decor. The food make up for the decor in spades. The owner/wait staff is charming with a great smile and she informed us she also does the baking. I probably should have written down the dishes but hopefully the pictures will entice you to visit Saving Grace.

One morning, Aaron snuck out of the cabin with Quincy. I woke up soon after, grabbed my camera and went for a walk. I happened upon them at the tennis court, where Aaron had to take a break from the game to attend to a crying Quincy. I took over the baby holding duties for a set & a half. By the time it was all over, Quincy was fast asleep in my arms. The same thing happened the next day, too.
This little one decided to investigate the church baptismal font this past Easter; her first church visit w/adoptive family (Africa). Luckily future son-in-law's quick thinking caught her before she actually went under, leaving them both water sopped!

SOHS is a no-kill shelter, 2nd oldest in the state of Oregon and has been at the same locations for 84 years. We're on Facebook at www.facebook.com/southernoregonhumane
Heart Mountain Relocation Center
Standing Tall into the Future
Why Save the Smokestack?
The smokestack stands as an icon, symbolizing the identity of this historic place. The hospital complex, completed in 1942, relied on the boiler house to provide steam heat during cold Wyoming weather. An essential feature of the boiler house, the smokestack stood as the most prominent structure at the center, as it does now. Of the ten Japanese American Relocation Centers constructed in the U.S. during World War II, Heart Mountain retains the most intact hospital complex, of which the smokestack is the most distinguishing feature.

Past Efforts to Save the Smokestack
When the smokestack was first threatened in the 1970s, local citizens rallied to make sure the Shoshone-Heart Mountain Irrigation District saved the structure. While the smokestack escaped demolition, it still needed help, which it partially received when the Blackburn Family donated funds for preserving it. In the 1990s, the Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation formed with the intent of preserving and sharing the history of the whole site. In order to determine the extent of damage to the smokestack and to create a preservation plan, state and federal agencies funded assessments in 2002, 2006, and 2010.
What is Wrong with the Smokestack?
Weight: 182 tons
Height: 75 feet tall
Due to deterioration of the masonry and strong west winds, the smokestack leans more than 18 inches out of plumb. Without intervention, the smokestack may eventually lean so far that it topples over!
The Next 100 Years
Preservation will happen in two phases.
Spring 2011 - Spring 2012
Phase I: Testing and analysis will be done to ensure the proper preservation treatment is applied. This phase includes measuring and assessing damage to the masonry, analyzing mortar to ensure that repointing will not cause damage, testing moisture in the walls, testing compression strength of the brick, determining the foundation depth and footing configuration and reinforcement, and completing a geotechnical investigation including geological and soil conditions.
Spring 2012 - Spring 2013
Phase II: Stabilization and restoration that will extend the smokestack's lifespan long into the future. This work will be done based on Phase I findings. It is anticipated that the foundation will need to be strengthened, the smokestack will need lining, and the masonry require repair and repointing.

The cemetery is featured in the beginning of Steven Spielberg's 1998 film Saving Private Ryan. A World War II veteran, accompanied by his family, makes his way to the grave of Captain John Miller (played by Tom Hanks) and segues into the movie's opening battle sequence, the D-Day landing at Omaha Beach. The grave does not actually exist; the headstone for Miller was only brought to the cemetery for the movie. The Captain John Miller portrayed in the movie never existed, but the Private Ryan story is based upon the story of the Niland Brothers, two of whom are buried in the cemetery.
