Park dedicates Gazebo for Karen Pettigrew’s 36 years on board At Boardman Park and Recreation District’s monthly regular Board meeting June 22nd, the board honored retiring Board member Karen Pettigrew. Park Board President Krista Price said, “Karen, you have been such a wonderful person to learn from. You are tough when you need to be, you are kind, giving and you have so much knowledge of this facility, government background and park history. We all want to thank you for the many, many years of service and devotion you have put into the park board. 36 years is remarkable and it proves that you put your whole heart into this board and the success of the park and its programs and the betterment of the community. Not once have we witnessed you doing anything because it benefited only you. You ALWAYS thought “How does this affect the community, how can we help the community, how do we improve this park so it continues to be a destination?”, which is so important for us all to remember as we move forward. Not helping one group, but being equal and consistent for all groups. You were amazing bringing the Rec Center to life. You coordinated and put so much thought into this project and yes, YOU would say it was a collective project with a lot of community involvement and partners, but YOU managed the board and all the meetings with contractors and management while the Rec Center came to fruition and THAT is commendable. You managed to coordinate funds and make it happen and we remember you being very pleased
An engraved stone dedicates the Pettigrew Sunset Gazebo at the western point in Marina Park. Karen Pettigrew has served on the Park Board for 36 years, many of those years as President. She was instrumental in passing the Bond Measure that allowed the Park to construct the Pool & Recreation Center, and has been an advocate for many improvements in the Park. Photo contributed. that the millage rate was at or lower than the rate we advertised to the tax payers. You truly are a great board member and President and I thank you for that. In honor of your 36 years of dedication to
the Boardman Park and Recreation Board, it is with great pleasure, that we rename one of our beautiful sites the ‘Pettigrew Sunset Gazebo’ and commemorate it with an engraved stone.”

Morrow County health care providers and School Districts encourage healthy youth! Columbia River Health and Morrow County Health District help adolescents ages 12-21 achieve a healthier life by offering wellcare appointments. The wellcare exam can be used to satisfy the “sport physical” evaluation required to participate in school activities. Physical, social and emotional changes during adolescence increase the need for annual preventive health checks and young people who can easily access these services are more likely to develop behaviors and lay a foundation for a
lifestyle that persists into adulthood. As well as your local providers, the American Medical Association’s Guidelines for Adolescent Preventive Services, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Bright Futures Guidelines, and the American Academy of Pediatrics all recommend comprehensive yearly check-ups for adolescents. During a wellcare visit, your health care professional conducts a comprehensive exam which addresses physical, behavioral and oral health and
this is also a good time for adolescents and their parents to talk with their health care provider about any concerns they might have. To schedule an appointment with your health care provider please call: Pioneer Memorial Clinic, Heppner (541) 676-5504 Ione Community Clinic (541) 422-7128 Irrigon Medical Clinic (541) 922-5880 Columbia River Health, Boardman (541) 481-7212.

Good Shepherd Lutheran Church donates $120,000 to Boardman Senior Center Last September, due to a number of factors, the members of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Boardman voted to end the church’s ministry. Article C7.01 of the church’s constitution states: “if this congregation ceases to exist, title to its real property and other assets must be used for charitable purposes as directed by a majority of the voting members of this congregation present at a legally called and conducted special meeting of this congregation.” The church building was sold to the local food bank, and the church’s other assets were liquidated. As directed by the church’s constitution and bylaws a final congregational meeting was held to decide on the distribution of the assets. Since the members of Good Shepherd were involved in the planning, construction and operation of the Boardman Senior Center and since the church has faithfully supported it in the past, the congregation unanimously voted at the congrega-
tional meeting to give a portion of the church’s assets to the Boardman Senior Center in memory of those of the congregation which labored so hard for it. Rev. Paul Berthelot along with Joe Taylor, and other members of the church presented to President of the Board, Sandy Toms, along with some board members Gordon Lienau, Rick Weiss, Gary Klinger and Muriel Darr a check in the amount of $120,000.00. This was done on June 24, 2021 at their regular lunch and election day for board directors. President of the board, Sandy Toms was so stunned by such a generous donation , that she was left speechless, except to say to them that the Senior Center was so very grateful to the church and members for thinking of the Center. She explained that the money would be put to good use and in a much needed savings account. Again the Boardman Senior Center wishes to thank Good Shepherd Church for all of their support through the years.

Heatwave in the garden: how to identify and prevent heat stress in plants -- When a heatwave hits, plants may show the impact Most plants grow best in temperature ranges 59-86F. When temperatures above 90F are sustained for long periods, plant growth is slowed, and some plants begin to show signs of stress. Above 104F, many plants will survive but will show different signs of heat stress dependent on plant type, maturity of the plant, and factors that often come with high temperatures, such as drought or wind. Extreme air and soil temperatures slow down chemical activity and growth in plants. What are signs of heat stress in plants? Leaf rolling and cupping Corn and tomatoes are among many plants that commonly roll their leaves or cup in response to heat. Leaf surface area is minimized, and stomata (microscopic openings in leaves, like pores, that allow movement of moisture and gasses) close. Together, these reduce moisture loss in the plant. Wilting Wilting occurs when low moisture in the plant creates a lack of water pressure within the plant. Common in nonwoody annuals and perennials, many plants will recover when temperatures drop. Potential for permanent damage increases with the length of time that a plant remains wilted. Plants that wilt during the hottest part of the day, and recover in the evening and early morn-
ing, are likely suffering from heat stress. Dry leaf edges A survival mechanism used by some plant types is that the outer margins of a leaf will dry up, but the leaf as a whole remains viable. This may be more common in large-leaved plants like squash and pumpkin, where there is more leaf surface area to “spare” and still maintain function. Dry leaf edges can appear similar to disease symptoms. Ozone damage When high temperatures are combined with poor air quality, ozone damage can result. For example, in the Klamath Basin, where air inversions are common, ozone damage to tomatoes has been observed when hot temperatures and wildfire smoke are present. Ozone damage can also be confused with a disease. In tomatoes, for instance, the dry brown spots in between leaf veins resemble bacterial leaf spot (the bacterial spots will have yellow “halos” that ozone damage does not). In cucumbers, squash, and pumpkin, ozonedamaged leaves become bleached and very dry-looking. Blossom and fruit drop Numerous ornamentals abort or drop buds and flowers after prolonged exposure to high temperatures. This allows the plant to conserve resources for parts of the plant necessary for survival. Blossom and fruit

drop are common in peppers, squash, and cucumbers when high temperatures persist. Most plants will return to typical production after a heatwave is over. Bolting Bolting is the premature flowering of plants before they would typically be harvested. High temperatures induce bolting in cool-season vegetables. A heatwave will likely mean the end for many cool weather
plants like cilantro, broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce, and spinach. It may be helpful to harvest these foods when a heatwave is predicted, for the best quality and flavor. Sunscald From apples to tomatoes to melons, many fruits will scald in high temperatures, primarily on the side of the fruit most exposed to the sun. Sunscald looks different on varying fruit types and may appear as a watery area on the fruit, discoloration, blisters on the skin of the fruit, dried out fruit, or sunken, hardened areas on the fruit surface. Blossom end rot A common tomato problem associated with deficient calcium can become more problematic when sunscald is present. Consistent watering helps minimize blossom end rot. Avoid letting plants completely dry out between soaking. How to reduce heat stress in plants: Watering While recommendations regarding the ideal timing of watering vary, deep watering is preferred over shallow watering. Morning watering is often prescribed in times of high heat, but wilted plants should be wa-
tered as soon as is reasonable to minimize the time spent in a wilted state. Know your plants' roots: Shallowly rooted plants will dry out more quickly and will wilt faster. Tap-rooted plants can draw water from deeper into the soil. Young plants with less root development will need water more often than older, established plants with a large network of roots for drawing moisture from the soil. Mature trees can suffer from heat and drought stress just like smaller plants but may not show symptoms of that stress until much later. Mulch Mulch conserves moisture in the soil by slowing evaporation and minimizing temperature fluctuation in the soil. Shallowly rooted and young plants will be most impacted when the top few inches of soil are hot and dry. Provide shade Move containers where they get shade. Provide shade cloth or other means of shade, where possible. Heat stress is compounded when other plant stressors like drought, wind, or intense sun are also present. If using a shade device not typically used for gardening, like a beach or picnic umbrella, consider adding it in the late morning and removing it towards the end of the day so plants get some direct sunlight. Be prepared for plants that are heavily shaded for long periods to “stretch” towards more light. Provide humidity Leaves take in small amounts of moisture through the stomata or openings in the leaves. In small-scale gardens and home greenhouses, providing additional humidity can be helpful for many plants. Typically, applying moisture to leaves intentionally is not recommended in the garden: leaf moisture along with the presence of a pathogen and the right temperature increase susceptibility to plant disease. However, in cases of prolonged
high temperatures, the benefit of a humid environment probably outweighs the risk of plant disease. Some strategies for adding humidity could be a morning, light overhead watering to the leaves or canopy, or greenhouse plants. Outdoor container plants can be grouped together and misted with a mist sprayer. A pressurized mist sprayer makes this job easier with large numbers of plants or large plants. Don’t plant or transplant Too-warm soil temperatures can kill young seedlings, or cause cankers where the stem meets the soil line. Transplanting is stressful to plants without the added issues caused by high temperatures. Postpone planting or transplanting until cooler temperatures arrive. Don’t prune trees and shrubs Removal of leaves and branches means a new part of the canopy will be exposed to sunlight. In times of intense heat, this can lead to sunburn in leaves that were previously shaded. Trees and shrubs with sunburn in a portion of the canopy will likely recover but will be unattractive in the meantime. Stressed trees are more likely to attract damaging insects like wood-boring beetles. Wait to fertilize During periods of intense heat, inducing new growth is not ideal. Wait until a cooler period for this garden activity. Don’t apply chemicals Many treatments for plant disease and insect issues can damage plants when temperatures are consistently above 80F: check the label of a product for specifics before applying. Some plant types such as conifers and succulents can be further damaged by any treatment—even soap or neem oil— applied during extreme heat. Reduce competition from weeds One activity to not postpone in the garden during a heatwave is weeding. Many weeds are better adapted to extremes than ornamental plants: weeds compete with garden plants for water and nutrients.

Windermere Group One Boardman opens its doors Windermere real estate group has added a new satellite office located at the business parkade at 202 N. Main St., Suite 15, Boardman. Over the years, the space was home to many entities including City Hall, Boardman Police Department, Simmons Insurance, Boost Mobile and more. “We started remodeling it in January 2020 and officially started working out of the office in April 2020. We delayed the grand opening waiting for COVID restrictions to lift.” said Realtor Leslie Pierson Owner Jeff Thompson and Realtor Leslie Pierson cut the grand opening ribbon on Wednesday, June 23rd. This is Windermere Group One’s second Oregon location, with the other located in Hermiston, Oregon. Local officials and the Boardman Chamber of Commerce were all in attendance.
C&D Drive-In and Bakery catered the event with homemade hamburgers and fries to please the event attendees. This office will allow Windermere Group One to serve residents of Boardman and in addition will provide professional real estate services throughout Morrow and Umatilla counties. Leslie Pierson received her real estate license in January 2020 after attending the real estate program offered by BMCC in Boardman. Carmen Mendoza recently completed the same program and joined the Boardman office. After receiving her real estate license, Leslie joined Windermere Group One’s Oregon office in Hermiston; they also have 3 locations in Tri-Cities. Thanks to the growth here, WGO expanded to Boardman. “Along with our Principal Broker, Natallee Turner, our Or-
egon team now has 13 Realtors. “My recent focus has been primarily on new construction, representing builders including Boardman Development LLC and Woodhill Homes Inc; however I am available to help all Buyers and Sellers with a variety of properties.” said Leslie. “Our office also highlights River Ridge Estates, the newest community by Woodhill Homes, Inc.”
Pictured L-R Owner Jeff Thompson and Realtor Leslie Pierson cut the grand opening ribbon on Wednesday, June 23rd for their Boardman office. “The Boardman office is Windermere’s second Oregon office, with three others located in the Tri-Cities Washington” said Owner Jeff Thompson.
