Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, July 7, 2021 -- THREE Doherty home earns June yard Canine team performs of the month A corner lot under two shady evergreens have earned Chad and Alicia Doherty Yard of the Month for June. Feta and Reed had to wear shoes to protect the floor while they performed for the Ione Library Summer Reading group. Left: Chad and Alicia Doherty show their June Yard of the Month sign to pets, Benny and Toby. ways had a beautiful garden wherever they lived with lots of flowers, including petunias. Employed at Wheat- land Insurance for five years now as personal lines manager, Alicia previously worked at Kennewick Gen- eral Hospital for 14 years. Chad grew up in Hep- pner and has also lived in Hermiston and Portland when employed by Safe- way. He fought fires with the US Forest Service, too, but has been with the City of Heppner for 17 years, now as public works direc- tor, including making sure our town’s utilities are oper- able and our parks are well taken care of. While Chad states that all anyone needs to do to have a nice yard is “make sure the water is working and kill any bugs,” the Doherty’s yard shows TLC has been added, too. Yard of the Month is co-sponsored by the Hep- pner Volunteers, MCGG/ Green Feed Store, and the City of Heppner. The Border Collie International Performing Canine Team thrilled the audience at Ione Library’s Summer Reading Program on June 29. Because of the weather the team and audi- ence of 47 children and 20 adults met in the American Legion Hall where the air conditioning was available. Rescue dogs Feta and Reed demonstrated their skills at soccer, frisbee and football. The shoes they wore for traction and to protect the floor proved a distraction to the dogs, but entertainment for the kids as Feta often stopped the show to remove her boots. Wiggles joined the audience to show off her Oregon themed outfit and sneak a few pats and kisses from the onlookers. Handler Greg Gus- tafson reported he was pleased with the reception he and the dogs received and hopes to come back to perform again. Forest public use restrictions increase purchased at Green Feed and Seed. Plans are to plant two deciduous trees on the west side of their lot.

Union remains shady and cool. The automatic un- derground sprinklers that the couple installed to- gether last year keep the lawn green. Digging all the trenches for the irriga- tion system by hand was a bit challenging through the tree roots, so Alicia discovered that a Sawzall makes a handy root cutter. They found their soil to be good, not rocky at all and the project only took about three weeks total. Chad does regular maintenance on the lawn to keep the weeds out. Other upkeep has been pressure washing the deck, replacing some boards, then painting with Deckover. A board fence they built is preserved with stain. The Doherty’s favorite place in their yard is the long front porch enjoying hummingbirds at the feed- er and butterflies visiting the four large, matching flower boxes full of bright petunias, Alicia’s favorite flowers. Chad has all flower containers on drip lines and feeds them with a fertilizer NEW LISTING $300,000 Join us as we celebrate George Nairns Gilliam & Bisbee Building July 8th, 2021 at 1:00 pm.
