Butterfly Garden sprouts at SBEAnyone entering Sam

Boardman Elementary Schoolcannot help but see and smell asmall butterfly garden. Thislittle jewel of colorful flowers,shrubs and graceful grasses isready to receive the first but-terfly visitors of the season. Equally important is the storyof this special butterfly habi-tat. Recently, a much-loved SamBoardman Elementary Schoolkindergarten teacher died un-expectedly – Beth Creason washer name. Mrs. Creason’ sroots were deep in both theBoardman and Irrigon Commu-nities. Her smiling face andwarmth are greatly missed.

As a way to preserve hermemory, staff and students de-cided to purchase and plant a treeto remember her by. Local “retired”landscapers, Marjorie and DavidPark, were asked to select the treeand plant it. The tree was plantedin front of the school, where a ma-ture tree had recently been re-moved.

Perhaps the new tree looked abit lonely. The Parks were asked todesign and select plants for a smallButterfly Garden, incorporatingMrs. Creason’ s tree, the stump ofthe old tree, and lawn next to theentry walkway.

As David Park cut the sod wherethe garden was to be placed, el-ementary students pulled it up andcarried it to areas where two bermswere to be constructed of sodplaced upside down. . Studentsalso took turns taking drinks ofwater to Mrs. Creason s tree.

The big stump was a bit of vi-sual problem. Driving through theBoardman Community, the Park’snoticed a very large attractivestone, not the typical Ice Age Er-ratic rock. Permission was ob-tained from the landowner, and the

rock was moved to the school,in front of the stump. Berms cre-ated by the students wereplanted with colorful flowers. Areas around the new tree wereplanted with ground covers thatengage the senses of seeing,feeling and smelling. It is acharming addition to the frontof the school.Colorful flowers are bloomingtheir heads off. The ButterflyGarden will have a formal dedi-cation ceremony on May 27. Butterflies raised by kindergar-ten students will be released inthe garden.There are many heros whohelped create the Butterfly Gar-den: Boardman GardeningFriends; David and Margie Park;

Sam Boardman Elementary stu-dents and faculty; Principal JacqueJohnson; City of Boardman PublicWorks and probably more notnamed here. Thanks to all who vol-unteered time and energy to createBoardman’s first Butterfly Garden. The landscapers would like to pur-chase some spring bulbs, to beplanted next fall. Donations forButterfly Garden landscaping ma-terials are being collected at theschool office. Sam Boardman El-ementary School is located at 301Wilson Lane, Boardman.

On May 19, 2010, the Umatilla-Morrow Education Service Dis-trict hosted the 11th Annual Crys-tal Apple “Excellence In EducationAwards” for 2009-2010.

“The purpose of this programis to recognize individuals whohelp make our school system thebest. Outstanding members ofthe education community deserverecognition and praise for theirhard work and dedication to teach-ing our young people. The indi-viduals chosen to receive a Crys-tal Apple Award have been se-lected on the basis of one or moreof the the following criteria: Ex-emplary Leadership; Innovation;Excellence in Education; Extraor-dinary Dedication;Outstanding Performance/Excep-tional Service; or Contributions toEducation.”

Among the winners were twolocal employees of the MorrowCounty School District; LisaConnell and Jennifer Leighton. Lisa teaches at the Alternative

School in Irrigon andJennifer teaches at Windy River El-ementary. The following are theirletters of nomination:

Alternative Education TeacherMorrow Education Center LisaConnell started with the alternative

education program as a long termsubstitute. She implemented a va-riety of extra learning activities tocompliment the curriculum thathelped the students understandbasic content and how to use it.

Last year, Lisa spent many hoursexamining transcripts and settinggoals with the seniors; so, theycould finish their required creditsin time. She examined the curricu-lum and extra activities to make surethey were in line with state stan-dards. All of this work helped 40seniors graduate. At the end ofthe school year, Lisa was informedthat she would not be coming backas the full time teacher. She wasn’thappy, but she dug in and madesure we had everything in place forthe next school year. Knowing she

would not be here made her moredetermined to have things in or-der, so the students wouldn’t suf-fer from so many changes in teach-ing staff. Fortunately, the districtwas able to hire her full time as ourteacher.

Jennifer Leighton works as anELL Educational Assistant atWindy River Elementary School.She is an exceptional worker, andshe bends over backward to helpand assist every child at WindyRiver Elementary with learning andevery teacher with teaching. Dur-ing instruction time, Jennifer care-fully watches the teacher and stud-ies how the lesson is presented, inorder to carry on the same strate-gies that the teacher practiced, and,during practice time, she reinforcesthe standards and strategiestaught by the ELL teacher. She isconstantly looking for new ideasand ways to help both the teacherand the students. Jennifer is wellaware of what a child needs to makeannual yearly progress and haseducated herself on the policiesand laws of No Child Left Behind.

Morrow County Superinten-dent, Mark Burrows presented LisaConnell and Jennifer Leighton withtheir Crystal Apple Awards. Alsoin attendance to applaud theachievements of these two staffmembers were: Dave Melville, Di-rector of Morrow County Alterna-tive School and Mark Jones, Prin-cipal of Windy River Elementary.Jacque Johnson, Principal of SamBoardman Elementary School pre-sented a Memorial Award to thefamily of Beth Creason for herdedication and excellence in edu-cation.

Hello Boardman Community,Well, June is here! I just can’t be-lieve how time is flying by. Thebig 4th of July Celebration is just ashort month away! The committeeis working hard to make this aneven bigger and better event thanwe have had in the past! So …watch for all the great new eventsplanned for this year.Clean Up Day for Boardman wasvery successful even though weonly had about 20 volunteers. The

volunteers cleaned up five privateyards, we planted new shrubberyand upgraded the landscaping atthe old wagon and we got the flow-ers planted in the barrels alongMain Street. Of course we had asmall contingent of workers will-ing to clean up garbage alongFront Street. We wish we couldhave had more volunteers; how-ever, the track meet was a very im-portant event for Boardman and wewere pleased they got all the vol-

unteers they needed to make theevent a success for our athletes aswell as those athletes participatingfrom all over Eastern Oregon.Once again, I enjoyed helping outwith the Cinco de Mayo event, itdidn’t rain this year, well at leastnot for long, but the wind sure wasdetermined to keep us company.But it still turned out to be a greatevent.I haven’t been able to attend Cel-ebrate Heppner Days yet, and this

year I am going to go and enjoy allof their hard work! I can’t wait tosee the “Welly” Toss! On June 25& 26 don’t miss out on the Relayfor Life in Hermiston. This raisesmoney for a very important cause,(a little more important to me thanit was in the past!) I will be glad totake the survivor lap for the firsttime! Have a great month and Ihope to see all of you at theBoardman Thunder 4th of July Cel-ebration! Di

children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Umatilla, Morrow, and Wheeler

Counties in Oregon are participating with our Washington sites. Care is free.

Eligible Children:

Children 6-12 years old already diagnosed with ADHD or who might have ADHD.

Study Process:

1. Children and their parent(s) receive an evaluation to clarify the diagnosis of ADHD and

other problems.

2. All children are assigned to an intervention group:

a. six sessions of medication treatment (1.0 hour each) by a telepsychiatrist and

behavioral treatment (1.0 hour each) delivered by a therapist at a local clinic;

or

b. a single session (1.5 hours) by the telepsychiatrist with expertise in ADHD who

makes treatment recommendations to the primary care physician.

3. Both groups participate for 25 weeks.

4. Both groups complete assessments 6 times during the study and are paid $35 for each

assessment.

5. All sessions with the telepsychiatrist and with the therapist are free to families.

Location of Study:

In Oregon, the Telemental Health Clinic is located at Community Counseling Solutions in

Boardman.

Not taking a vacation this sum-mer? Why not take a one day tripto see an amazing, “one of a kind”Pendleton Blanket.

From now until Aug. 15, theWorld Forestry Center’s DiscoveryMuseum will exhibit the world’slargest and longest seamless blan-ket woven by Pendleton WoolenMills.

The blanket is 432 feet ofseamlessly woven fabric equal toapproximately 1 ½ football fields.This is believed to be the largestand longest seamless blanket inthe world. The blanket measures331,800 sq. inches, 2,303 sq. feet(that is more square footage thanthe average house in Portland, Or-egon.) It weighs 380 pounds – it isso heavy, that the blanket needsto be rolled onto a giant spool andtransported via forklift. The blan-ket required the fleece from over50 sheep to produce.

World’s longest blanket weaves through

museum and it’s from Pendleton!The pattern is called Geronimo.

The Geronimo pattern is one ofPendleton’s oldest designs datingback to the early 1900s. The Pat-

tern is called Geronimo as theoriginal blanket design wasowned by Geronimo and he wasphotographed wearing thisPendleton blanket design.

The blanket begins near theentrance of the museum andweaves its way around the “for-est,” and up to the second floor.It ends nearthe special ex-hibits gallerywhere the cur-rent exhibit is“Pendleton:W e a v i n g

A m e r i c a ’ sSpirit.” Pendletonhas been aNorthwest firmsince 1909. Be-sides the recordbreaking blan-ket, the exhibitincludes a wallof 101Pendleton blan-kets to celebratePendleton’s 101years in busi-ness, NationalPark blankets, acollage of his-toric photo-graphs andproducts, and

examples of different types of wool. This family outing is well worththe drive. The World Forestry Cen-ter is open 10-5 daily. The museumis five minutes from downtownPortland, just off Hwy 26 and isalso accessible by MAX lightrail line. For more information,please call 503-228-1367 or visitwww.worldforestry.org. And, theWorld Forestry Center is right nextto the Oregon Zoo, which couldeasily take a whole day to visit.

Mosquito Bites: Prevention and Treatment

Pharmacy & Your Health

Mosquitoes are attracted to things that remind

them of nectar or mammal flesh. They are attracted by

some body odors, and for this reason they choose some

individuals over others in a crowd. They bite more

frequently when the weather is hot or humid. The simplest

anti-itching compound is a paste made of baking soda and

water. Use just enough water to make a sticky paste, then

spread it on the bite. Calamine lotion works in a similar

way, and usually the effect lasts longer. A topical

anesthetic containing pramoxine (such as the prescription

PrameGel or the over-the-counter Caladryl) can take away

the pain and itching.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

(CDC) recommends using an insect repellent on exposed

areas of skin. The most effective compound is DEET (N,N-

diethyl meta-toluamide), an ingredient in most insect

repellents. However, insect repellents containing DEET

should be used sparingly on children. Don’t apply it under

clothes, or too much of the toxic substance may be

absorbed. Also, avoid applying repellent to portions of the

hands that are likely to come in contact with the eyes and

mouth. Pediatric insect repellents with only 6-10% DEET

are typically available at your local pharmacy.

Question: “ What shakes yourbody to its core? What is layerupon layer upon layer of drumming,music and sound? What causesspace and chairs to vibrate?” Theanswer is Taiko, the Japanese namefor drum and also an art form. OnWednesday, May 19, PortlandTaiko entertained the students andstaff at Sam Boardman Elementary in Boardman and A.C. HoughtonElementary in Irrigon. Portland Taiko, the premier Pa-cific Northwest taiko ensemble hasits roots in ancient Japanese tradi-tion. In the past, taiko was used todefine the boundaries of the village,scare away invading armies andpests in the rice fields, aid medita-tion in religious ceremonies, andcall the community together in timesof both crisis and celebration.

Today, taiko is a dynamic andevolving performing art combiningrhythm, movement, energy, andculture into a single art form. Port-land Taiko aspires to create a per-formance of the highest artisticquality, and to provide a strong andbeautiful voice for Asian America.

Through dynamic and powerfuldrumming, the sharing of real-life

Portland Taiko drums up a rhythm

for local elementary students

stories and examples, as well asstudent participation, the assem-blies use taiko to foster greatercultural awareness and respect fordifference among elementaryschool students. The performancedirectly addresses situations of in-tolerance and racism, and providesyoung people with tools for deal-

ing with that discrimination. Stu-dents participate in traditional call-and-response using voice, clap-ping and stomping to create simplerhythms.

Both in-school performances are made possible by donations toNorth Morrow Community Foun-dation.

Portland Taiko presented a lively demonstration of this ancientJapanese art form at Sam Boardman and AC Houghton Schools.

The students were encouraged to participate in the taiko art form during the two assemblies.

employees participate in National

Teach Children to Save DayTrena Day, Branch Manager,

Yvette Whitbeck, Customer Ser-vice Representative, and KarlaGuardado & Rocio Cuevas, Tell-ers, from the Irrigon Branch of Bankof Eastern Oregon, gave a savingslesson to K thru third grade stu-dents at A.C. Houghton Elemen-tary School as part of the Ameri-can Bankers Association Educa-tion Foundation’s Teach Childrento Save Program.

Citlali Pacheco Mendoza andEmerald Lantis, Customer ServiceRepresentatives at the BoardmanBranch, gave the savings lessonto K through third grade studentsat Sam Boardman Elementary.

Bank of Eastern Oregon em-ployees joined thousands of bank-ers across the country that tradedin their balance sheets for black-boards to help fill the need for fi-nancial education.

“Studies show that kids aren’tlearning the skills they need tomake smart financial decisions asadults,” said Jeff Bailey, Presidentand CEO. “Communities andschools teach other life skills, suchas driving a car, but we don’t spendenough time teaching financialskills. Bankers are in the schoolsthis week to help fill that gap andprepare future customers for finan-cial success.”

The lessons taught includedactivities about the concept of sav-ing, how interest makes money

grow, how to budget and determin-ing needs and wants. Bank of East-ern Oregon’s employees visited atotal of 19 elementary schools inits local banking communities.Along with the lessons, employ-ees presented each of these 1,586students with a Calculator-Ruler.

Since the American Bankers As-sociation Education Foundation’sNational Teach Children to saveDay began in 1997, thousands ofbankers have taught money skillsto more than one million students.

Bank of Eastern Oregon offersthe following tips to help parentsmake every day “Savings Day”:· Help kids open up their ownbank savings account and makedeposits regularly. Many bankshave children’s accounts that haveno fee or minimum-balance require-ments.· Make going to the bank fun!Some banks have kids’ clubs wheremembers get newsletters or receiveballoons when they make a de-posit.· Kids love to get mail, so encour-age them to keep an eye out fortheir quarterly statement.· Talk to your child about the fam-ily budget. Include a discussionon wants and needs. Reinforce thisby budgeting for a family outingor purchase.· While children know thatmoney doesn’t grow on trees, theymay think it comes out of a wall.

Show them how an ATM machineworks and explain that to takemoney out of the bank you mustfirst put it in.· Give your kids positive feed-back. As they get older, give themresponsibility over how theyspend their money.

The ABA Education Founda-tion, a nonprofit subsidiary of theAmerican Bankers Association, iscommitted to developing and pro-viding education programs thatlead to financial literacy. The ABAEducation Foundation’s NationalTeach Children to Save Day is heldevery April when thousands ofbankers make presentations to stu-dents on the importance of savingfor their future.ABOUT BEO BANCORP
