that kept Yourcheck on his toes.
Steve Crum stayed in the game,
losing to Shilo Langston, 5-8.

strokes and was able to keep the
ball in play, capitalizing on his
opponent's weaknesses, said
coach Cathy McCabe.
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. Neiffer also capitalized

nice shot placement.

Adam Neiffer and Adam
McCabe were defeated 3-8 by
Nick Welk and Cole Shelton.

court placement while the lone

every game she plays; her serves
are getting more consistent and
she is able to get more returns
over the net."
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.

Crowell and Ton Odinet fell'to
Kalie Fuller and Kasey Stroud.
Crowell struggled in the back
court but was able to work both
sides of the court later in the

making a short comer shot that
the Sherman team was unable to
get back over the met in game

"The entire team hung in there,
considering the gale force winds
and it was unusually cold for the
event. They are a great group of
kids and I appreciate them
keeping a good attitude on days
where Mother Nature is not
cooperating and the wins are
eluding us."

Joann Fitzgerald and Marjorie

District #10 directors attended
the Boardman Garden Club
March 15. They installed the
new officers: Jane Dean,
president; Martha Baker, vice
president; Pauline Daulton,
second vice president; and Edna
Melby
secretary/treasurer.
Beautiful
corsages were
presented to each officer by Mrs.
Fitzgerald.
The club is potting plants for a
plant sale April 16-17 at the flea
market which will be held in
Greenfield Grange. If anyone
wants certain plants, this group
may have them. The garden
vegetable summer plants are
small but growing fast. House
plants, maple trees and lilac
bushes are plentiful.
Call Jane Dean 481-5223, if
you need any of these plants
now.
The club judges selected Mario
Morales's yard as yard of the
month. Senor Morales received
a plant and certificate as well as
a sign to display in his yard.
This "beautiful yard" is located
at 120 Morrow Estates. Senor
Morales has hauled rock from
the fields to build all the rock
walls. He has built a wishing
well, a tall light fixture and a
doghouse with porch and rails,
as well as other wooden
structures. 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.

Morrow County Sheriffs
Deputies Karen M. Zeiler and
Loren D. 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.
