Author: Carol SavonenSource: Barb FickCORVALLIS, Ore. – Summer heatbrings a host of problems to the to-mato patch. The Oregon State Uni-versity Extension Service MasterGardener Program tracks the mostcommon tomato problems and offersadvice on what to do about them.• Blossom drop: It is usually causedby dry soil and dry winds, but alsomay be caused by sudden cold spell,heavy rains or too much nitrogen.Usually not all blossoms will fall off,so be patient for the next set of flow-ers.• Blossom end rot: The end of thefruit furthest away from the stem getsblack – a condition caused by irregu-lar watering practices and calciumdeficiency. Water deeply and regu-larly. Add lime to soil in fall to in-crease calcium level in the soil fornext year’s crop. It is most commonin western Oregon.• Leaf rolling: A problem that is mostoften the result of heavy pruning orroot injury. Plants may lose leavesbut will recover.• Sun scald: Green tomatoes can getsunburned, especially those plantswith leaf spot diseases or those re-cently pruned.• Early and late blight: These are fun-gal diseases. Look for water-soakedlooking spots on lower leaves andstems. If you see these, pick themoff. Avoid overhead watering andmonitor and remove diseased leaves.For more detailed information anddescriptions, photos and controlmethods for many more tomato mala-dies, consult OSU Extension’s“Online Guide to Plant Disease Con-trol” and type in “tomato” in thesearch box.Or call or visit your local county of-fice of the OSU Extension ServiceMaster Gardener help desk for addi-tional information. To find the Mas-ter Gardener chapter nearest you,look up your local county govern-ment pages in the telephone book orgo to the OSU Master Gardener pro-gram online and scroll down and clickon your county.

West Nile virus, a mild flu-likedisease spread by mosquitoes, hasbeen reported to have been foundin two testing sites in MorrowCounty, Ore., according to OregonPublic Health officials. The mos-quitoes were collected on thenights of July 21 in rural Irrigonand July 22-14 in rural Boardman.

Health officials are advisingpeople in Morrow County to takeprecautions against mosquitoes toavoid the risk of infection, includ-ing preventing mosquito bites.

“While it is summertime andmosquitoes are making their pres-ence known, mosquito bites don’thave to be inevitable,”said GregBarron, manager of North MorrowVector Control District. “Peoplecan protect themselves. And evenif they do get a mosquito bite, therisk of infection is low.”

Barron said the North MorrowVector Control District is continu-ing to increase the district’s UltraLow Volume (ULV) truck-mountedsprayers, and is consideringspraying by helicopter, to reduceadult mosquito populations.

Dr. Emilio DeBess, public healthveterinarian at the Oregon HealthAuthority’s Public Health Divi-sion, says simple precautions canprevent the spread of West Nilevirus· Eliminate sources of standingwater that are a breeding groundfor mosquitoes, including wateringtroughs, bird baths, ornamentalponds, buckets, wading and swim-

ming pools not in use and old tires.· When engaged in outdoor ac-tivities at dusk and dawn whenmosquitoes are most active protectyourself by using mosquito repel-lants containing DEET, oil of lemoneucalyptus or Picardin and followthe directions on the container.· Wear long-sleeved shirts andlong pants in mosquito-infestedareas.· Make sure screen doors and

windows are in good repair and fittightly.

Because of the number of mos-quito pools – samples of about 50mosquitoes – testing positive inany area could lead to infection,Shelley Wight, Morrow CountyHealth Department health educa-tor / communicable disease coor-dinator, recommends people andanimals be protected against mos-quito bites.

Eighty percent of people in-fected with West Nile virus exhibitno symptoms. Of the remaining 20percent, most have very mild symp-

toms, such as fever, headaches andnausea lasting from three to sixdays. In a few cases, more severesymptoms occur, including convul-sions or disorientation. The cen-tral nervous system also may beaffected, resulting in a headacheassociated with fever, aseptic men-ingitis or encephalitis. Peopleshould consult their health careproviders if they have these symp-toms. Health care providers cancontact the Morrow County HealthDepartment for information onWest Nile virus testing servicesthat the Oregon State Public HealthLaboratory offers.

Eight Hermiston wrestlers, oneMilton-Freewater, and one morefrom Arlington, Washington alsoparticipated in the festival, whichtook place July 3-6.

As a team, the group tied forsecond with Israel and Austria,

with the Hungarian national teamplacing first.

Hancock wrestlead four times inthe 58 kilogram — 127 pounds —weight class at the festival againstgrapplers from Austria,Switzlerland, Hermiston, and Iran.He wrestled in the 17U tournament.

“As a wrestler I gained confi-dence from being able to wrestle atthat level,” Hancock said.

During the trip, students werealso able to travel around Europe

to France, the Czech Republic,and Germany. Hancock said hisfavorite part of the trip waslearning about the Europeanculture the food, and the area’shistory. During the group’s timethere, they visited several land-marks including the Berlin Wall,the Audubon, and the EuropeanUnion Parliament building.

The 2014 “Olympic Sports” 4-HCamp was a great success thisyear! From June 19th-22nd, 26 coun-selors, 65 campers, along with adultstaff, camp cooks, nurses and vol-unteers hailingfrom Morrow,Gilliam andWheeler countiesgathered atCutsforth Park fora fun-filled week.

Surprisingly,the weather wasgreat this year andwe saw no rainduring the four dayoutdoor camp, ev-eryone was verythankful!

The campstarted with open-ing Olympic cer-emonies whereeach tent groupmade a flag to rep-resent their groupand then paradedthe flags from themess hall to thecampfire ring. Weeven had somegreat commentators giving play byplay details to the crowd waitingat the campfire.

This year a variety of classeswere offered: soccer & sports train-ing by Mr. Joe Colby, watershed &stream health by Mrs. DebbieBunch and fun kitchen science byGilliam County 4-H Agent CindyOsterlund.

We had a great group of craftsavailable this year including rock-ets from the Ukiah Community 4-HClub leaders Ted & Laura Orr andNorma Barber, building birdhousestaught by Kendall Derby, DIYsports pennants, painting bird-houses, outdoor cooking andmany more. Outdoor activities likecapture the flag, a heptathlon eventfull of various sporting events, andmultiple “Get Acquainted” gameskept everyone busy in the warmsunshine.

The hike was another great suc-cess; two separate trails and ac-tivities were offered with one hike

activity teaching campers & coun-selors how to build an outdoorshelter taught by Morrow CountySherriff Office Deputy Scott Carteras well as the traditional hike to the

top of Little Baldy Mountain.One evening was capped off

with the launching of dreamboatsonto the pond followed by the everpopular camp dance.

Family and friends had thechance to view our closing Olym-pic ceremonies with the parade oftent flags and award ceremony. Ev-eryone went home tired & happyagain this year and a great deal waslearned by all!

We would like to thank all of ourcamp volunteers, instructors andhelpers – we couldn’t do this with-out you: Dr. Tracey Hanrahan-camp doctor, Mary Reser & TraceyEdwards – camp cooks, Sue Gibbs– kitchen help & transportation,Andrea & Andy Fletcher – nightpatrol & hike help, Scott Carter &Brian Spivey – hike help, KendallDerby, Ted & Laura Orr, NormaBarber – activity help, DebbieBunch & Joe Colby – class instruc-tors, Jeannie Collins – camp trans-portation and Dave & Roberta

Jones – Camp hosts at CutsforthPark.

And of course, 4-H camp is notpossible without the excellent helpand dedication that we have from

our 4-H camp counselors!This year we had an outstand-

ing group of young people whowere ready to work hard, had greatattitudes during the entire camp,and really formed a cohesive &strong leadership team. Our Mor-row County Counselors were: Aus-tin Carter, Amanda Rea, KaneSweeney, Lexi Bray, Macy Gibbs,Ian Meakins, Kolby Currin, AlexLindsay, Emily Taylor, Tyanna Bill-ings, Malyssa Smith and MadisenHaselbusch. These young peopletake time away from work, sportsor other family events to attendcounselor trainings and then campitself. They are invaluable to theprogram and we thank them for allof their hard work and help!

Next year’s camp theme wasvoted on by the campers and it willbe Battle of the Bands for 2015. Formore information on how to par-ticipate in 4-H or to attend 4-Hcamp, contact the Morrow CountyExtension Office at (541) 676-9642.

Boardman to review utility billing ordinanceDuring their July 15th council

meeting, Boardman City Council-ors heard concerns from residentsof the newly formed Bella Vista Es-tates Cooperative regarding theirutility bills. Bella Vista Estates, pre-viously known as Desert SpringsEstates, is a manufactured homepark with 128 spaces within the citylimits. Tenants of the park askedthe Council to change their ordi-nance, which requires the city to

bill property owners, to bill tenantsinstead.

After meeting with the city’s at-torney, David Blanc, Councilorsmade no decision on the matter. In-stead the council asked for pa-tience from the tenants to see ifthere was a way to update the lan-guage in the ordinance, to make itmore fair and equitable for all resi-dents of Boardman.

In other city business, PoliceChief Rick Stokoe reported the 4th

of July went well, with a few minorproblems. Also, the Council heardan update on the produce standlocated on NE Front Street, whichis up and running.

The next meeting of theBoardman City Council will beTuesday, August 5, 2014 at 7pm atBoardman City Hall.
