For the past 16 months, Master Gardener Plant Clinics have been conducted virtually due to COVID-19 restrictions. Following the most current state guide- lines, Master Gardeners are now able to answer garden- ers’ questions in person at Plant Clinics.

Jewett Blvd., White Salmon, on the first Saturday of the month from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and Hood River Supply, 1995 12th St., Hood River, on all Saturdays except the first Saturday of the month, also from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Central Gorge Master damage are also helpful.

Put your samples in a clean plastic bag or other disposable con- tainer and bring them to the Plant Clinic of your choice. You can expect your question(s) to be researched and receive a reply with diagnosis and suggestions that will empower you to make an informed decision in about a week, possibly two, depending on the volume of client questions that are being researched at the time.

Contributed photo Local wins WAAAM raffle: 1969 Chevy Custom Stepside Hood River local Brett Monson won the Western Antique Aeroplane & Automobile Museums’ 1969 Chevy Custom Stepside Raffle Truck during the WAAAM Traffic Jam Car Show on July 10. Monson was not present at the time of the drawing, but as soon as he found out, he was quick to arrive and claim his prize after a short crash course on the ins and outs of old automobiles, said a press release. A self-proclaimed guy- who-never-wins-anything, Monson enjoys the living history nature of WAAAM and is excited to be taking a part of it home with him. “WAAAM still has a long way to go before fundraising for our building expansion is complete but this raffle helped us raise just over $22,000,” said Museum Assistant Director Stephanie Hatch. The 1969 Chevy Custom Stepside Raffle Truck was donated to the museum with the intent to be sold or raffled to help with expand- ing the museum’s facility to further its existing educa- tional opportunities and become an even better asset to the region. The museum is located on the Hood River Airport at 1600 Air Museum Road. For more information, visit www. waaamuseum.org. WAAAM Traffic Jam Western Antique Aeroplane & Automobile Museum, Hood River, held its Ninth Annual Traffic Jam fundraising event July 10. Organizers reported that the show went well, with a good “middle-of-the-road turnout,” which left them pleasantly surprised — organizers weren’t sure the event would happen this year, given fluctuating COVID restrictions, until about a month prior. Activities during the WAAAM Traffic Jam include both Automobile and Aircraft Restoration Shop tours, engine demonstrations and WAAAM automobile rides.

Emma Patterson, daughter of Shane and Billie, just returned from competing in the Silver State International Rodeo in Winnemucca, Nev. While she didn’t place in her events, the experience was priceless and she is look- ing forward to the start of the 2021-2022 Junior High School Rodeo season this fall. Emma, we are all very proud of you for qualifying for that rodeo and represent- ing your rodeo team, family, and Glenwood community down there. As Emma returns home, Joslyn Arnold, daughter of Casey and Bo, has head- ed east to compete in the National High School Rodeo Finals in Lincoln, Neb., taking place July 18-24. Joslyn will have Mary Pierce several other members of the Goldendale High School Rodeo Team there competing, too, including Blake Masden, for- mer Glenwood kid and son of Lacey Masden and Colby Masden, and grandson of Kelly and Bill Henderson. We’ll all be keeping track of events and cheering them on from this far distance. You can go to www.nhsra.com/ events/nhsfr-2021 to check on daily results and we hope the parents will all post daily updates. What an exciting time for all those cowgirls and cowboys. Good luck, Joslyn and Blake, and have a wonderful time there. Another young cowboy competing there is not from Glenwood, but has deep roots here. Shane Scott, son of Amy and Shawn Roggenkamp and Trevor and Courtney Scott, had an amazing high school rodeo season as a member on an Oregon team. Shane, who is the grandson of Oop and Diane Burgin and Marilyn and Mike Scott, recently won the Oregon State High School Rodeo bullriding championship. He also was chosen as rookie of the year and was the recipient of the Todd Stoops Memorial Bullriding Buckle. Courtney tells us Shane worked throughout last fall and this spring to qualify for the Oregon State Finals, where only the top 20 in each event are allowed to showcase their skills. The bulls were tough at the State Finals, but Shane rode all but one of his bulls to take first place in State and qualify for the National High School Rodeo Finals. He finished fourth in saddle bronc riding so will also compete in that event. What an amazing year. We’ll be cheering you on from here in Glenwood, Shane, and wish you the best of luck in Lincoln. Not everything here is about rodeo.
