have the impression that I am making progress.’ I thank God for giving me the raw talent of an artist. I continue to “practice painting” to continue to make progress, said Myron Salhberg.
The artist has had three overlapping careers in art. ILLUSTRATION 1976-1996 During these years Myron created hundreds of illustrations for magazines, books, greeting cards, university sports programs, and advertising accounts. TEACHING 1985-2013 Myron taught drawing, painting and illustration in the Communication Art and Design department at the Alexandria Technical and Community College. OIL PAINTING 1990-PRESENT He paints commissioned portraits in his studio or in the client’s home. He has done many public portrait demonstrations. He has studied painting with these excellent artists: Pat Jerde, Richard Whitney, Casey Baugh, Bonita Roberts, and John Howard Sanden. “I am grateful for the unique and personal influence each of these artists have had on my artistic skills,” says Salhberg.

Kathy Hyder is featured Quilter 2016 Boardman Quilt Show by: Carol Michael cnrmichael@gmail.com. Long time Boardman Quilter, Kathy Hyder, has been quilting seriously since she retired from employment with Morrow County School District in 2008. She finally agreed to be the Featured Quilter at the 2016 Boardman Quilt Show. When asked in the past to be Featured Quilter, she always responded “She had given all finished quilts away, and had nothing to display.” Kathy makes and gives quilts to members of her extended family; her children’s friends; donates her handmade quilts to community fundraisers; and recently began to accept commissioned requests. A great example of Kathy’s community quilting involvement was her lead in creating a Raffle Quilt to benefit the Gavin Roberts Scholarship Fund. Gavin Robert’s grandmother, Marge Shankle, was a long time member of the Boardman Quilt Group. Gavin‘s untimely death in 2015 devastated
all members of the quilt group, Kathy organized a project to create a Riverside H.S. Pirate Blue Raffle Quilt, with proceeds going to the scholarship fund. From Fall, 2015 to Spring 2016, she was present at most every Pirate Sporting event selling raffle tickets. The winning raffle ticket was drawn at the spring 2016 Sports Award Banquet. Kathy was inspired to begin quilting by Millie Baker, long time elementary school teacher, who does such a good job teaching quilt group members new techniques. She says bright colored fabrics are her favorites, and she likes the challenge of making Queen Size quilts. Quilts for new babies are also one of her favorite projects. When Kathy is not creating quilts, she oil paints, gives rides to friends whenever they need to somewhere, and spends time with her family. She loves spending time with her grandkids, especially watching them in sports. Kathy

Brandon Hammon, principal of WRE cuts ribbon at the dedication of the WRE playground project along with students, school administraition and donors of the project on September 13th. Boardman – Windy River Elementary invited the public to a ribbon cutting ceremony for its new playground on Tuesday, September 13 at 6 PM. The playground project began at the start of the 2015-16 school year with the search for donors. Columbia River Technologies, an affiliate of Tillamoook County Creamery Association, agreed to contribute the cost of the equipment. Brandon Hammond, principal of Windy River, started the process and made the dream of having the play structure a reality. The student council then began to review options and budgets. Once the structure was in place, options emerged for the surface cover. With the help of the Kiwanis Club of Boardman and a grant from the Offutt Family Foundation, a large portion of the cost of surface tiles was covered. Hammond said at this point, he thought they were close to done, but there was still work to do. Through the help of Rock Enterprises, the structure was built safely. School administrators are greatly appreciative of all the donors who contributed to the new playground: 1. Columbia River Technologies (an affiliate of Tillamook County Creamery Association) 2.

The Playground By: Abril Rosales Remember the memories, we made, Remember the fun we had, Remember the friends we created. All these things happened at the playground. Listen to the screams we made, Listen to the laughs we had, Listen to the rumors we passed at the playground. The playground is the place to be, The playground is the place to go, the playground is what we had in our childhood.
6th grader Abril Rosales wrote a poem about “The Playground,” and read it to the crowd during the WRE ribbon cutting ceremony on September 13th.

Life along the Columbia River 9,000 years ago By: Carol Michael cnrmichael@gmail.com. A computer modern gremlin prevented submission of September 1921 Life Along the Columbia 96 years ago. A substitute for this issue only is Life along the Columbia River 9,000 years ago It is well established that Kennewick Man roamed the Columbia River Basin at least 9000 years ago. He was not alone. University of Oregon archaeologists completed a 12-year archaeological research project in the reservoir basin of the John Day Dam in 1968. They uncovered evidence of ancient human occupation on the Oregon and Washington shores of the Columbia River. U of O, with support from the National Park Service put in 12 field seasons and untold man hours between 1957 and 1968 to record prehistory of the river basin. The project was begun when plans for the John Day Dam were announced, but before waters of the Columbia backed up behind the completed dam and covered forever most traces of early man’s occupation. The final project report was to be written by Dr. D.L. Cole, for the National Park Service. The report was due to be published for public distribution in late 1970. Wouldn’t it be great to have copies of this report in Morrow County Libraries? Does anyone know the whereabouts of a copy? Here is what archaeologists found: All the earliest occupied sites were on the Oregon side of the river. Archaeologists theorize
that early man settled first along the Oregon shore, where land and weather conditions were most favorable Eighty-four archaeological sites were discovered in the area, crews were able to excavate about 40. Ten of the 40 excavations uncovered major sites requiring one or more seasons of fieldwork. Probably the most important site investigated, called Wildcat Canyon, and was also the oldest. This site, covered many acres, and carbon 14 dating established evidence of man’s occupation here went back to at least 9000 BC. Question” Did Kennewick Man and his people pass through Wildcat Canyon site? Over the centuries of occupation, many different types of dwellings were constructed. One early house was of stone masonry, later houses included ceremonial plank houses, and stepped houses. The most recent houses were small huts built over basin depressions. “Purgatory” site east of Arlington was so named because of the unpleasant environment. In three years of work at the site, researchers found eight house pits dating from about 200 AD. Purgatory house pits were of a rather spectacular bell shape design. The pits were circular on one side and tapered to a flat end on the other. A fine sculptured owl lamp was found at the Purgatory site. The Purgatory sited saw 1500 years of occupation, until around 1700 AD. Question: “What did the U of O researchers do with that owl lamp?”
A house, dated about 200 AD was uncovered at Tom’s Camp site near Boardman. Finished tools were found at this site. Another site east of Boardman yielded five small house pits from a rather unusual village. Living activities appeared to have been carried on outside the homes. Large outdoor hearths were discovered, with rocks arranged as wind shields. The occupants might have been gatherers and hunters who used the houses for sleeping only. Did the seasonal Columbia Gorge wind annoy the early inhabitants as just as it does those living here today? Throughout the 12 seasons of fieldwork, investigations were hampered by vandalism carried on by amateurs. Sadly enough, artifacts taken from a site by an amateur become also valueless out of association with the total record. Museums and valid collectors have no interest in such miscellaneous collections. The story of early area residents raises many questions. If anyone has researched back answers, please share!

Columbia River Harvesters OHSU Casey Eye Institute has provided food to Outreach van visits Boardman needy for over 20 years For some members of the community, access to high quality medical care appears beyond their reach. The OHSU Casey Eye Institute Outreach Van is working to bring eye care into focus by hosting mobile screenings. They travel throughout Oregon and collaborate with programs serving people in need to identify common preventable and treatable eye conditions. Since their inaugural voyage in 2010, the Casey Outreach Van has provided service to over 4,000 community members with no other access to eye care across the state of Oregon. This has given them the opportunity to identify common preventable and treatable conditions related to refractive error, diabetes, macular degeneration, and glaucoma. Columbia River Community Health Service (CRCHS) was honored to have the Casey Eye Institute back for a third visit September 8th and 9th. The success of Casey Eye Institute community Volunteers (L-R) Winnie Salmon, Anita Crumley, and Julia Cardenas help with the rummage sale at the Columbia River Harvesters. Columbia River Harvesters is a member of Oregon Food Bank, and provides food of all kind to low income and needy residents. This local group has been active in the Boardman area since the mid1990’s. They started out in a small storage shed the City of Boardman owned at City Park. They moved to their current location, the old City Hall near Banner Bank in 2002. The group is run by volunteers, some of whom have been there for over 20 years! Their location is open Monday, Friday and Saturdays for the Food Bank, from 1:00 to 3:00 pm; they also have an ongoing rummage sale six days each week, Monday through Saturday 10:00 am - 3:00 pm between May and October. Columbia River Harvesters wishes to thank all the donors who have been so generous throughout the years, including CAPECO, WalMart Distribution Center; Safeway; Agape House; Boardman
Foods; Con-Agra; South Basin Packing; Alan Cleaver Farms; and all community donations. The group is looking for resources for their Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets; they gave out over 105 baskets last year. Each basket contains turkey, potatoes, onions, canned goods, breads, etc. depending upon what is donated. Children’s hats, gloves, small toys are also welcomed. Cash donations are always needed along with donations to their rummage sale. The group is a 501(c)3 tax deductible organization. Residents can become a member by filling out an application, paying the $18/month member fee. Members then can receive boxes of food weekly for their families. For those who are really short on cash, a voucher is available which will enable the family to have a sponsored one-month membership. This is paid by Columbia River Community Health Services.
outreach programs would not be possible without the volunteers that assist them. We were grateful to have them back, and thankful for the 10 volunteers that accompanied them. Verian Wedeking, the new Outreach Coordinator for the Casey Eye van, was excited to serve our community. CRCHS is hopeful that they will be able to continue this service with OHSU again next year. The results this year for the OHSU van visit to Boardman were amazing; 47 individuals were provided much needed eye exams, which resulted in 25 individuals receiving prescriptions and 6 individuals receiving referrals for further treatment. The Casey eye teams thanked CRCHS for making them feel welcome and were very enthusiastic to be able to help so many people. CRCHS is thankful to OHSU and the Casey Eye Institute for making this possible. For
Boardman patient Ignacio Cambero is happy to receive his glasses from the OHSU Casey Eye Institute Van.

PHS teacher dreams big for her students Pendleton – Kristin Swaggart, teacher of culinary arts at Pendleton High School, knows what it means to dream big. Swaggart is a finalist in the Dream Big Teacher Challenge sponsored by the Farmers Insurance Thank America’s Teachers program. Her proposal is to fund a mobile food truck owned and operated by the Pendleton School District, where students would prepare and sell the food. It will also be used for fund raisers and community service projects. Swaggart is one of just 15 finalists across the nation – six winners will be awarded $100,000 each for their projects. And now, it’s up to the voters – students, teachers, staff, community members, family, friends, strangers, social media contacts, etc. – to make Swaggart’s dream a reality. The six teacher projects that get the most votes nationwide are the six winners. Voting begins October 1 and the challenge now is to get the word out. “We need everyone in
Pendleton, in Oregon and across the country who are somehow connected to somebody who knows about our project to start voting October 1 and vote every day until October 31,” Swaggart said. “It’s the only way we can make this dream a reality for my culinary arts program and our community.” To vote, people can go to this link: https://www.farmers.com/ thank-americas-teachers/vote-fora-teacher. Or go to ThankAmericasTeachers.com Click “Vote for a Teacher”. Swaggart and her small committee of promoters are encouraging people to share this information and vote daily. They suggested setting an alarm or reminder on your phone or your calendar, and to spread the word about this unique opportunity for the Pendleton community.

American Indian Trade Blanket expert Barry Friedman featured at Maryhill Museum of Art October 15 Program includes gallery walkthrough and blanket appraisals (GOLDENDALE, Wash., September 21, 2016) – Maryhill Museum of Art is pleased to host author and antique American Indian trade
Barry Friedman blanket specialist Barry Friedman for a gallery walkthrough and appraisal program titled Barry Friedman’s Walkin’ Talkin’ Indian Trade Blanket Lecture on Saturday, October 15 at 2 p.m. During the program, Friedman, author of Chasing Rainbows: Collecting American Indian Trade & Camp Blankets (2003) and Still Chasing Rainbows: Collecting American Indian Trade & Camp Blankets, Volume Two (2014), will give a brief introduction to trade blankets and then lead a walkthrough of the exhibition A Kaleidoscope of Color: American Indian Trade Blankets. The exhibition, which is on view through November 15, 2016 at Maryhill, features boldly colored pre-1925 blankets from a variety of well-known historic American manufacturers such as J. Capps & Sons, Racine, Oregon City and Pendleton Woolen Mills among others. After the gallery tour, Friedman, who is a vintage blanket consultant to Pendleton Woolen Mills and a vintage blanket supplier to Ralph Lauren, will provide appraisals of visitors’ own trade blankets. The appraisal segment of the program is designed to be educational in nature, with the audience invited to listen in and learn about the history, designs and cultural significance of the trade blankets brought in by visitors. Both the gallery walkthrough and the appraisals are free with museum admission. Out of consider-
ation of the museum environment, visitors are asked to make sure their blankets are free of dust and dander. A Kaleidoscope of Color: American Indian Trade Blankets is sponsored in part by the J & S Bishop Fund of the Oregon Community Foundation. ABOUT MARYHILL MUSEUM OF ART: Housed in a glorious Beaux Arts mansion on 5,300 acres high above the Columbia River, Maryhill Museum of Art opened to the public May 13, 1940 and today remains one of the Pacific Northwest’s most enchanting cultural destinations. The museum was founded by Northwest entrepreneur and visionary Sam Hill, who purchased the property and began building the house with dreams of establishing a Quaker farming community. When that goal proved untenable, Hill was encouraged by friends Loie Fuller, Queen Marie of Romania, and Alma de Bretteville Spreckles to establish a museum. Maryhill Museum of Art boasts a world-class permanent collection, rotating exhibitions of the highest caliber, and dynamic educational programs that provide opportunities for further exploration by visitors of all ages. On view are more than 80 works by Auguste Rodin, European and American paintings, objects d’art from the palaces of the Queen of Romania, Orthodox icons, unique chess sets, and the renowned Théâtre de la Mode, featuring small-scale mannequins attired in designer fashions of postWorld War II France. Baskets of the indigenous people of North America were a collecting interest of Hill; today the museum’s American Indian collection represents nearly every tradition and style in North America, with works of art from prehistoric through contemporary. Maryhill’s William and Catherine Dickson Sculpture Park features more than a dozen largescale works by Northwest artists. The Maryhill Overlook is a sitespecific sculpture by noted Port-
land architect Brad Cloepfil; nearby are Lewis and Clark interpretive panels. Four miles east of Maryhill is a life-sized replica of Stonehenge, Stonehenge Memorial, which Sam Hill built to memorialize local men who perished in World War I. Nearby, the Klickitat County War Memorial honors those who have died in the service of their country since World War I. The museum was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. In 2001 the museum was listed as an official site of the National Historic Lewis and Clark Trail and in 2002 was accredited by the American Association of Museums. In 2012 the museum opened the Mary and Bruce Stevenson Wing, a 25,500 square foot expansion that is the first in the museum’s history. The new wing boasts the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust Education Center, a collections storage and research suite, a new cafe and terrace, and the Cannon Power Plaza with an installation of sculpture, and sweeping views of the Columbia River Gorge and Mount Hood in the distance. VISITOR INFORMATION: Maryhill Museum of Art is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., March 15 to November 15. Admission is $9 for adults, $8 for seniors, $3 for youth age 7-18 and free for children 6 and under. Admission to the Stonehenge Memorial is free; it is open from 7:00 a.m. to dusk daily.Sandwiches, salads, espresso drinks, cold beverages, and freshly baked desserts and pastries, as well as a selection of local wines are available at the museum’s cafe, Loie’s, from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily; the Museum Store features art and history books, jewelry, Native American crafts and other mementos.
