Adam Neiffer handed the Sherman boys their only loss, defeating Trent Eakin, 8-1. Neiffer's speed and coverage of the court was too much for Eakin.

Amellia Peck was unable to pick a win from Amber Ament, losing 0-8. Peck has tremendous speed on the court and even though she was unable to get a game from Ament she was competitive throughout the match.

Amellia Peck and Niki Sullivan handed Sherman girls their only loss, defeating Katie Ketchum and April Olsen, 8-4. Sullivan attacked the net and Peck was there to pick up anything that happened to get past Sullivan. Coach McCabe praised her team for their efforts, saying, "The entire team hung in there, considering the gale force winds and it was unusually cold for the event.

The entry way to his has made different colored tiles to place on this entry way. He has put different designs on these tiles. "His artistic talents just don't end," said Jane Dean of the Garden Club. He has placed plants and trees in the yard to help show off the rock work. Senor Morales works graveyard at Lamb-Weston and works in his yard in the morning. "Mr. Morales is a true yard-decorating artist," she added. The honorable mention yard went to 71232 East Wilson Road. "The Dutch windmill with all the tulips and daffodils are real eye catchers," she said. There is even a little windmill atop the shop. The lattice work against the porch is very decorative and has climbing vines. The yard has lighting among a border of flowers. "This yard also shows another very talented homeowner with a talent for making Boardman a more beautiful area to live," Dean said. As the yard judges were out last Sunday afternoon, many people were busy in their yards. In April they will be out looking for those "super yards" to select for recognition. "We hope everyone will go by and view the yards the Boardman Garden Club selected this month," Dean concluded. We Print Business Cards F fttrs o fl'j p j j Jiwtlm / .

Dieter graduated from the Oregon Police Academy with honors on March 26 at the Western Oregon University campus. In a ceremony held in Monmouth, Deputy Zeiler, 27. and Deputy Dieter, 29, completed a 10-week course at the Oregon Police Academy. Deputy Zeiler was awarded the "Lee M. Brown Award" for scholastic achievement in Basic Police Class No. 224. Thirty- seven police officers and deputy sheriffs were enrolled in the graduating class "This prestigious award is highly sought after by the class members and is presented in recognition of a deputy sheriff or police officer for top scholastic achievement in the class of deputy sheriffs and police officers from across the state," said Morrow County Sheriff Verlin Denton. Deputy Zeiler also received special recognition with a shooter's award in the use of Deputy Loren Dieter firearms. Also singled out for special recognition was Deputy Dieter. Deputy Dieter was recognized and presented an award for being first in defensive tactics training during his academy classes and was also recognized for expertise in the use of a firearm. Deputy Dieter joined the Morrow County Sheriff s Office as a reserve deputy in 1996. In October of 1998 he was hired as a full time deputy and assigned to the criminal division. Deputy Zeiler joined the sheriffs office as a communication officer in December of 1994. She was then hired as a deputy sheriff in August of 1998 and assigned to code enforcement. Sheriff Denton says that he is "very proud of these two deputies' achievements-in their academy training and that they will make a fine addition to the Morrow County Sheriffs Office staff." "They exhibit the kind of professionalism and dedication that this sheriff is striving for in my department," said Denton. CSEPP signs radio contract Morrow and Umatilla county commissioners have signed a contract to purchase 17,000 Tone Alert Radios from Federal Signal Corporation of University Park, Illinois. The company will deliver 100 TARs, called "EAS Informers", within 30 days. The initial radios will be tested with the control system to ensure both elements work, said a CSEPP news release. To further ensure the radios meet specifications, up to 12 radios will be randomly selected and sent to an independent testing laboratory, according to CSEPP. Once the testing period is complete, 3,000 TARs will be provided in the first shipment, then 1,000 radios will be delivered every month until the $3.1 million contract is complete. CSEPP says that "In the unlikely event of a chemical release at the Umatilla Chemical Depot, the Tone Alert Radio/Receiver System will sound tones and broadcast emergency information in English and Spanish." Th* TARs will also provide National Weather Service radio broadcasts and special weather alerts. The TARs will operate electrically with backup battery power. They will also have a flashing strobe light capability for high noise areas and the hearing impaired. The radios will be placed in all homes and occupied structures in the Immediate Response Zone around the Umatilla Chemical Depot in Umatilla and Morrow counties. Boardman residents will also be included in the distribution plan. Southern Benton County, Washington, will receive TARs later this spring. The TAR is the final piece of the Alert and Notification System in Oregon, including 63 outdoor sirens and 11 highway reader boards, that have been installed with funding from the Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program, said the CSEPP release. Columbia Communications of Kennewick, Wash., developed the TAR control system. It consists of hardware, software, programming, training and equipment for transmission of messages, alerts, tones and voice messages for the Chemical St ockpi l e Eme r g e n c y Preparedness Program, the National Weather Service and the Emergency Alert System. Morrow and Umatilla county CSEP Programs will be responsible for the acquisition portion of the Oregon TAR project. The Federal Emergency Management Agency will handle the TARs' distribution in Oregon. A request for proposal for the distribution plan contract is still being developed by FEMA and is expected to be in place when the first 3,000 radios arrive, concluded the release.
