Boardman couple celebratetheir 60th wedding anniversary

Winnie and Howard Salmon will celebratetheir 60th wedding anniversary on April 20th.

Howard and Winnie Salmon cut their weddingcake after being married in Homerville, Ohio onApril 20, 1952

“Who is that pretty girl braidingyour heifer’s tail?” What a pickupline Howard Salmon had back inhis youth in Ohio! He was askinghis friend, John as they were walk-ing though the dairy barn for a 4-Hcompetition. “It’s my sister,Winnie,” replied John. And therest, as they say, is history. Winnieand Howard Salmon are celebrat-ing their 60th year of wedded blisson April 20th, but their five chil-dren have planned a potluck cel-ebration April 21st at the BoardmanSenior Center from noon to 5 pm.The public is invited to attend, themain entree, drink and dessert isbeing provided. Bring a side dishor salad. Honored guests are theBoardman seniors, with Howardand Winnie the “special guests”.

After growing up in the samecounty in Ohio, Howard andWinnie married on April 20, 1952.They lived in Ohio on a dairy farmuntil 1956, when they moved westto the San Franciscoarea where Howardwas a transportdriver, pasteurizerand plant supervisorfor Foremost Dairies.Missing the rural life,they chose Joseph,Oregon in 1969 to betheir next residence.By then, they hadtheir five children:Judy Taylor, BonnieWagner, DavidSalmon, KathyLorentz and StevenSalmon. They all nowlive in the WillametteValley except for Judywho lives in Las Ve-gas.

In 1974, theSalmons moved toBoardman, followingJohn Prag and AlanHolmes to work inraising potatoes.Howard has hadmany jobs since theirmove to theBoardman area, in-cluding ranch hand,work at Taggares andSabre Farms, sanita-

tion manager andproduction su-pervisor at Gour-met Foods forNorm Hyder, thenretiring after threehip surgeries.Not one to beidle, Howardopened a smallengine repairshop behind C &D Drive In, relo-cating to hishome garage sev-eral years lateryears.Winnie had oddjobs here andthere, including a6-year stint as anurse’s aide atthe EnterpriseHospital andmanager of the Boardman mancamp when the coal fired plant was

being constructed. A two-yearbreak from living in Boardman oc-

curred in 1980 whenHoward and Winnielived in Evanston,Wyoming whenWinnie was the Assis-tant Manager of 1,700-person man camp andHoward was mainte-nance supervisor dur-ing the constructionof the Chevron GasPurification Plant. Af-ter returning toBoardman in 1982,Howard drove schoolbus for ten years. Hefinally had to quit af-ter his last hip surgeryleft him unable to climbthe stairs into the bus.

The Salmonshave been long-timesupporters of theBoardman SeniorCenter, with Winnieserving as past VicePresident. Most Tues-days and Thursdaysone can find theSalmons partaking ofthe Senior Meal andenjoying visiting withthe other communitymembers attending.

For the past twelve weeks, Mor-row County residents had an op-portunity to participate in a weightloss competition and healthy

lifestyle program. As of April 2,participants in Boardman, Heppner,Irrigon and Ione lost over one ton(2,000 pounds) of body weight!The MCCHIP, a partnership ofcommunity members and humanservice organizations, initiated theBiggest Winner program to in-crease awareness and educate thecommunity about local health is-sues. A significant portion of thecounty population is affected by,or at risk for developing chronicdisease, which was determined byexamining data and informationcollected in the county-widehealth needs assessment. Becausehealth behaviors that contribute tothe development of many chronicdiseases include obesity, inactiv-ity and tobacco use, the intent ofthe program was to encouragehealthy lifestyle changes in thoseareas. One participant explained,“Our whole family made changes

to our life, cooking, eating and ex-ercising.” Another stated, “Ithought it was a great program. Icame away with lots of good hintsand ideas and a better feeling

about myself.”MCCHIP would like to ac-

knowledge the contribu-tions made to the programand thank local restaurantsthat supported healthier eat-ing choices, individualswho promoted physical ac-tivities and instructors thatprovided fitness classesand the Morrow CountyHealth District and Colum-bia River Community

Health Services for donating labservices. We encourage you tovisit the website http://ohsu.edu/MCCHIP if you are interested inimproving your health or thewellness of Morrow County!

Boardman, Oregon – On April 28from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. the BoardmanPolice Department and the DrugEnforcement Administration (DEA)will give the public another oppor-tunity to prevent pill abuse andtheft by ridding their homes of po-tentially dangerous expired, un-used, and unwanted prescriptiondrugs. Bring your medications fordisposal to the Boardman PoliceDepartment at 200 City CenterCircle in Boardman. The service isfree and anonymous, no questionsasked. Chief Stokoe encourageseveryone to take advantage of thisservice.

Last October, Americans turnedin 377,080 pounds—188.5 tons—of prescription drugs at over 5,300sites operated by the DEA andnearly 4,000 state and local lawenforcement partners. In its threeprevious Take Back events, DEA

Boardman Police Department takingback unwanted prescription drugs

and its partners took in almost amillion pounds—nearly 500 tons—of pills.

This initiative addresses a vitalpublic safety and public health is-sue. Medicines that languish inhome cabinets are highly suscep-tible to diversion, misuse, andabuse. Rates of prescription drugabuse in the U.S. are alarminglyhigh, as are the number of acciden-tal poisonings and overdoses dueto these drugs. Studies show thata majority of abused prescriptiondrugs are obtained from family andfriends, including from the homemedicine cabinet. In addition,Americans are now advised thattheir usual methods for disposingof unused medicines—flushingthem down the toilet or throwingthem in the trash—both pose po-tential safety and health hazards.

Four days after the first event, Con-gress passed the Secure and Re-sponsible Drug Disposal Act of2010, which amends the ControlledSubstances Act to allow an “ulti-mate user” of controlled substancemedications to dispose of them bydelivering them to entities autho-rized by the Attorney General toaccept them. The Act also allowsthe Attorney General to authorizelong term care facilities to disposeof their residents’ controlled sub-stances in certain instances. DEAis drafting regulations to imple-ment the Act, a process that cantake as long as 24 months. Untilnew regulations are in place, locallaw enforcement agencies like[agency] and the DEA will con-tinue to hold prescription drugtake-back events every fewmonths.

The members came two days ina row (3/26-3/27/12) and helpedpark staff get the day-use park andcampground spiffed up for the sea-son and the Easter egg hunt (April07th 10am at the Day use park). Thegroup mowed, swept leaves anddebris with the “Olathe” sweeper,and raked all of the grass through-out the park on their first day ofwork. They also picked up limbsthat had accumulated from over thewinter and made the campgroundlook new and welcoming. The BlueMountain Sams also painted thepicnic shelters inside and out in theday use area on their second day,which helped the day use area lookcleaner and approachable to everyvisitor in the community as well ascustomers driving in. BoardmanPark & Recreation District is readyto take on the season!!

Thismajor Spring Cleanup could not beaccomplished without their muchneeded assistance of their time,effort and knowledge.

traded stories from the past and ex-periences at other campgrounds.The members, who helped thisyear, were: Lou Pulley, KeithBauder, Wayne Harris, Ken Larsen,Richard Larsen, and Randy Wells.The group will see Boardman Parkagain, when they come to stay inthe campground this October withtheir whole group.

This club is a Chapter of theEastern Oregon division (FromThe Dalles to Ontario), and hasbeen helping the park every springfor the last eight years. The club isalso involved in hosting at theBoardman Rest stop for coffee andtreats, as well as donating and help-ing fund the charities of; Dogs forthe Deaf, Hospice, Salvation Army

Through a grant our schoolis provided with 11 weeklybackpacks. We have receivedrequest from more than 33 familiesin need with more request comingin daily. We would like to send abackpack to every family in needeach week. The students lookforward to their backpacks eachweek.
