A Property Rights Education Conference will be held on August 20, 2009 in the Jepson Center’s Wolff Auditorium at Gonzaga University. Sessions are scheduled from 9:00 am until 4:00 pm. Parking is free. The featured keynote speaker is Mountain States Legal Foundation CEO William Perry Pendley. “Our constitutional liberties are under siege today more than at any time in our country’s history,” said Pendley, “including the right to own and use property. It is vitally important that all Americans inform themselves about the threats to our liberties and take action to fight back. This conference is an excellent first step in doing just that.” | ||

From colonial times until well into the 20th century hard cider was overwhelmingly the predominate beverage in the United States, consumed more than whiskey, wine, and beer put together. In fact, the U.S. apple crop was so devoted to the manufacture of hard cider that during prohibition many farmers cut down huge orchards of mature apple trees, because they were unable to come up with another profitable use for the fruit. | ||
