Stop Biting Mosquitoes! Call North Morrow Vector Control District at 481-6082 “Protect Yourself and Your Family” By Eliminating Standing Water Around Your Home & Farm! “Fight The Bite”
Sixteen members of the Boardman Quilt Club recently were treated to a two-day seminar by published author, Don Linn from Redding, California. The theme of the seminar was “Trapunto”, a form of decorative machine quilting. The Italian word, “trapunto” means stuffing, which is what the class was all about. The students also learned about free motion machine quilting on their own sewing machine, as opposed to hiring someone to complete their quilts with a “long arm machine”. The intensive seminar required homework prior to the classes, learning how to transfer patterns to a quilt using a marking method. The first day of the seminar was all about learning the techniques, and the second day was dedicated to each quilter’s personal project -table runner, pillow top (case) etc. “It boils down to practice,” says Linn. “Today they are doing things I bet they thought they could never do!” Don Linn’s quilting career began 17 years ago when his wife, Donna made him attend a quilt show in Gold Beach, Oregon while they were on vacation. He became intrigued with the machinery and creativeness. Although his background was in upholstery, he splurged, purchasing a $10,000 quilting machine and spent six

Since then, he has written and published three books been featured on Internet Quilt Shows and national television on Home & Garden TV (HGTV). Linn and his wife stay in their fifth wheel when they are holding seminars, usually in Oregon and California. However, he has flown to Michigan to teach and plans a seminar in Arizona next year. Linn goes by the name “Mr. Quilt” on his Email (mrquilt@sbcglobal.net) and even his license plate reads: “Mr. Quilt”. Visit his website: www.mrquilt.com
to see some of his expertise. He also does custom machine quilting. Local quilter Mildred Baker had heard of Linn, purchased one of his books, and spearheaded the seminar. Coming up in October, the Boardman Quilt Club will hold their annual Quilt Show at the Port of Morrow: October 12 & 13. The group also makes “comfort quilts” for Home Health, displaced children and patients at the Columbia River Ranch. Donations of fabric and sewing decorative items are always welcome.

Oregon Cultural Trust releases 2011 annual report April 2, 2012 — Salem, ORE. The Oregon Cultural Trust’s annual report for Fiscal Year 2011 (July 1, 2010 — June 30, 2011) has been published. The report details the Trust’s finances, programs and donors, and includes profiles of funded projects undertaken by Live Wire!, Columbia River Maritime Museum, and the Whiteside Theater, among last year’s grantees. In FY2011, the Trust distributed $1.45 million in 97 grants to cultural nonprofits, county and tribal coalitions and statewide cultural agencies, based on the FY2010 income of $3.8. In FY2011, Over 20,000 Oregonians contributed to the Trust, taking advantage of the state’s unique cultural tax credit, which encourages cultural supporters to increase their giving to the arts, heritage and humanities. Contributions to the Trust increased by 5.3% in FY 2011 over 2010, from $3.7 million to almost $3.9 million. Trust chairman Bob Speltz found the 2011 annual report encouraging. “I’m heartened to see more than 20,000 Oregonians supporting arts, heritage and humanities. This report chronicles their increasing generosity despite a challenging economy and underscores their commitment to the communities that define what it means to be an Oregonian,”said Speltz. “In good times and bad, culture enriches our communities and our lives. The Cultural Trust invests in every corner of our state — thanks to the involvement of thousands of Oregonians. This report shares just a few of the hundreds of amazing stories we have to share,” said Christine D’Arcy, the Trust’s executive director, about annual report. Trust Manager Kimberly
Howard pointed out that contributions received by June 30 increase the amount of money the Trust can distribute as grants in July. “The amazing thing about the Cultural Trust is that every Oregonian, through her or his donation before June 30th, has the opportunity to contribute to the success of projects like these,” said Howard. Since Oregon’s cultural tax credit took effect in December 2002, 23,380 Oregonians have contributed over $28 million to the Cultural Trust; over $11 million has been distributed in grants statewide; and $17 million remains in a permanent Trust fund. Link to 2011 Oregon Cultural Trust Annual Report: http:// www.culturaltrust.org/news/publications-archive The Oregon Cultural Trust is an innovative, statewide private-public program that raises money to support and protect Oregon’s arts, humanities and heritage. In addition to building a long-term, protected endowment, the Trust distributes funds annually through three grant programs. Donors to the Trust are eligible for a 100% Oregon income tax credit for contributions of up to $500 for individuals, $1,000 for couples filing jointly and $2,500 for corporations. To motivate Oregonians to increase direct giving to cultural groups, Trust donors must also make matching gifts to one or more of 1,300 cultural nonprofits in order to claim the tax credit. Since Oregon’s cultural tax credit took effect in December 2002, 17,000 donors have contributed over $22 million to the Trust; more than $9 million has been distributed in grants statewide; and the endowment stands at $12 million.

We are working hard on organizing a great family 4th of July and would love to have you help us with this planning. Have a wonderful May, and don’t forget your Mother on Mother’s Day!

Closing session – Graduates to present a panel discussion with their final thoughts on speaking to all 8th graders in the auditorium.

67th Annual Tillicum Easter Egg Hunt held at park The Boardman Tillicum Club hosted several hundred children and their parents for the 67th Annual Easter Egg Hunt at the Boardman Marina & Park on Saturday, April 7th. The Tillicum Club, along with members of the Boardman Kiwanis Club, Riverside JR/SR High School, Sam Boardman Elementary and Windy River Elementary “hid” over 4000 eggs filled with candy for the event. The Easter Bunny along with some of her friends was on hand to get the crowd excited for the event. It took “hunters” about 15 minutes to find all the eggs once the truck horn sounded. Some help was needed in finding those prize eggs though! Winners of the Easter Baskets this year included:

Is it time to plant vegetables? Ask your soil thermometer CORVALLIS, Ore. — A soil thermometer is a gardener’s best friend as spring approaches and it’s time to plant cool-season vegetables such as peas, kale, fava beans and radishes. “With a thermometer, no guess work is needed. Soil temperature is the best indicator of when to plant each type of vegetable, no matter what climate zone you live in,” said Annie Chozinski, Oregon State University vegetable researcher. Crops that germinate in the coolest soils (down to 40 degrees F) include arugula, fava beans, kale, lettuce, pak choi, parsnips, peas, radicchio, radishes and spinach seed. When the soil temperature reaches above 50 degrees, Chinese cabbage, leeks, onions, Swiss chard, and turnips can join them in the garden. At 60 degrees you can sow warm-season vegetables such as beans, beets, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrots and cau-
liflower. But watch weather forecasts — beans will not tolerate frost and may have to be planted twice if the temperature goes below freezing. Wait until the soil warms to above 70 degrees to plant warm-season vegetables such as tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, cucumbers, squash, corn and melons. It can take several weeks for tomatoes, eggplant and peppers to germinate in the garden. You can get a jump on the season, however, if you buy them already started from your local garden center. On the other hand, squash, cucumbers and corn grow quickly and are easy to start from seed. To ensure success with earlyseason vegetable gardening, Chozinski advises buying cold-tolerant or short-season varieties. OSU vegetable breeders have developed many varieties well suited
to Oregon gardens. If you just can’t wait to plant, warm the soil

with plastic mulch and use a cloche, fabric row cover or cold frame. Be prepared to carefully cover your plants with burlap, plastic or an old blanket or sheet if a hard freeze is forecast. Even a crop that’s germinated and starting to grow can be ruined by a late frost. Author: Judy Scott Source: Annie Chozinski

Artist in Residence Annie Herron encouraged the students while they were drawing the design for the glazed ceramic tiles they made. The tiles can be seen at Sam Boardman Elementary. Photo Contributed
For the last two weeks in April, Sam Boardman Elementary Students learned principles of design such as rhythm, balance, proportion, and texture. Ceramic Artist In Residence, Annie Herron, encouraged them to put their new knowledge to work designing unique 5” square glazed ceramic tiles. Most of the finished tiles will be placed near the school entry adjacent to the Butterfly Garden. Second and third graders made ceramic dragonflies, bees, butterflies, caterpillars, fish, starfish, snails and other sea creatures, which will be combined in a 3’ x 10’ art work on the entry wall. Riverside High School art students were very helpful. They
rolled the raw clay to the proper thickness and cut the clay into 5” squares. Younger students created tiles with alphabet and number designs. Art of the younger children will be placed in an interior hallway, and lead to the entrance for the Girls and Boys Bathrooms. All grade levels followed the same instructions: Draw a design on a 5” square piece of paper; Cut out the paper design for a stencil, then use the stencil to cut out the design on a thinner piece of clay. Attach thinner clay shape to the flat 5” tile, add embellishments, and fire it in the kiln. After the first firing, the students applied two coats of colored
glaze and the tiles were fired a second time. The kiln is small, and it will take some time for all the tiles to bake, and cool completely before removal. Making the tiles was a complex project. Artist Annie Herron was working with 300 students per week. The students and their teachers worked together and gave their best effort. All are looking to seeing the final products in place. Be sure to watch Sam Boardman Elementary on Wilson Road for the finished art project. Funding for the two week Artist In Residency was provided by North Morrow Community Foundation with support from Morrow County Cultural Coalition.

Letters to the Editor Folks of Eastern Oregon, On behalf of the city of Irrigon, I would like to invite all communities of Eastern Oregon to join us on May 9, 2012. That is the day we have designated as the first annual RAK-Day in Irrigon. This will be a day to do A Random Act of Kindness - hopefully - for someone you don’t even know. As the frequency and viciousness of violence occur in our society, we often feel nearly helpless to stop it or slow it down. It permeates almost every facet of our society from computer games to movies to social media to domestic violence to our schools. This random act does not have to be extravagant or expensive either. It can be just as simple as buying someone a cup of coffee, or giving someone a flower. Just stop someone and say “hello”, how are you today”, or compliment someone who does a good job or is friendly and kind..beleive me; it will make you feel just as good as the person receiving the random act. It may seem like such a small thing to do, but if enough of us join in - we might just begin to change things a bit. So then, what are you going to do that day? David Burns Irrigon, Oregon
