Columbia Youth Soccer Club to meet April 24th Spring is in the air which means it’s time to prepare for fall youth soccer. Already? Yes, that’s correct. Columbia Youth Soccer Club works (nearly) year round to bring recreational youth soccer to Boardman each fall. At this time, CYSC would like to invite the general public to attend the Annual General Meeting where we will be conducting board member nominations/elections. We did not have a Secretary for the last year and it remains an open position. It is likely the Treasurer position will be available, as well. If you are interested in one of these positions or a different position on the board, please email cysc11@gmail.com with questions/comments. In addition, we’d like to invite you to take a gander at our website (www.columbiayouthsoccerclub.com) where we have our by-laws and policies posted, along with other information. We would like to draw special attention to the Sponsors page where we recognize our many sponsors. The club would not be able to operate without the support of the great Boardman community. Don’t be surprised to be hearing from the club soon in regard to donations for the upcoming season. Thank you in advance for your support!

Oregon Heritage sites featured on Google Field Trip mobile app Would you like to go on a statewide “field trip” with Oregon Travel Experience? Now you can, thanks to a fun new mobile app: Google Field Trip. “Instead of searching your smart phone or tablet for places to stop, Field Trip sends a series of alerts about local sights or points of interest to your mobile device,” said Annie von Domitz of Oregon Travel Experience. “It opens up a whole new world for anyone interested in Oregon history.” “The app is free - once it’s downloaded to your tablet or smart phone (both iOS and Android op-
erating systems are supported), simple instructions will help you configure your notification preferences,” said von Domitz. “You can choose whether to receive alerts all of the time, less frequently, or even spontaneously with the ‘I’m feeling lucky’ option. “As you drive or walk around, Field Trip will point out nearby venues. Even if you don’t have the time to stop, you can make a quick online visit,” said von Domitz. “It’s a new way to connect to our state’s hidden gems.” Von Domitz is confident that Field Trip will spur interest in OTE’s heritage sites and visitor lengthen stays in rural communities. . “I
think Google Field Trip encourages people to explore their own neighborhoods, and at the same time, learn something new about destinations across our state,” she said. “It’s exciting that more and more visitors will find out about Oregon’s notable trees and historical marker sites.” OTE wants your feedback. Once you download Field Trip in your app store, let the agency know how or if it helps you discover something new about heritage trees or historical markers in your location. For more information about OTE’s listings on Google Field Trip, contact Annie von Domitz, toll free at 800-574-9397.

The City of Boardman Code Compliance Department wants to remind pet owners of the need to keep their dogs on a leash when away from home. Leash laws require dogs to be on a leash and under control whenever they’re off their owners’ property. This is done for the safety of the pet as well as the safety of others. Boardman Code Compliance, wants to ensure the health and welfare of your animals, and the citizens of Boardman. Dogs are known to behave erratically at times. According to the Center for Disease Control’s website, dogs bite approximately 4.7 million people each year.
Leashes act as restraints for potentially dangerous canines. Research studies have also indicated that leashes keep dogs safe. There are other risks to allowing a dog to run at large. The dog could be hit by a passing vehicle. The pet owner would be financially liable if the dog causes trouble. A dog running loose can be picked up and impounded. The owner will be charged for the cost of impounding the dog. If the dog is unlicensed, the owner will be required to buy a license and will need to provide proof of rabies vaccination. If the dog is unvaccinated, the owner will have to pay

for the vaccination before their dog can be released. To avoid these dangers and potential costs, responsible pet owners can follow these guidelines: · Leash your dog whenever off your property · License your pet and have him/ her wear a current license tag on the collar · Keep your pet’s vaccinations up-to-date, and keep current records on file · Clean up after your pet For further information you can contact the City of Boardman Code Compliance Official, Keri Jarmer at (541) 481-9252.

Last call for Oregon farmers to support local school districts through second annual America’s Farmers Grow Rural EducationSM ST. LOUIS (March 26, 2013) – The deadline is fast approaching for local school districts to compete for a grant of up to $25,000 through America’s Farmers Grow Rural Education, sponsored by the Monsanto Fund. The more farmers who nominate a school district, the more it demonstrates community support and strengthens the school district’s application. Oregon schools will be eligible to receive up to $45,000 in funding this year, and nominations will be accepted until April 15, 2013. School administrators have until April 30, 2013, to submit their applications. This year, the program expands to 26 new counties, for a total of 1,271 eligible counties across 39 states. “We are dedicated to improving education in our farming communities,” said Deborah Patterson, Monsanto Fund president. “Working together with farmers and rural school districts, we are providing resources necessary to accelerate math and science learning – inspiring the students of today to become the leaders and innovators of tomorrow.” Grow Rural Education grants will be awarded based on merit, need and community support. The America’s Farmers Grow Rural Education Advisory Council, a group of 30 agricultural leaders
from across the country, will review and select the winning grant applications. Advisory Council members were selected based on their passion for farming and education, as well as experience in rural school districts. Eligible farmers can nominate their favorite public school district by visiting www.GrowRuralEducation.com and following the “Nominate Now” link on the top, left-hand corner of the page. Farmers may also nominate a school district by calling 1877-267-3332. School administrators are encouraged to use the website as well, which is equipped with tools to answer specific questions about the program, assists with the application writing process and offers personalized assistance. In 2012, Vale School District received $10,000 to expand its science laboratory. “We were extremely excited about Grow Rural Education from the start,” said Karen Nunn, Vale School District business manager. “Our chemistry courses are very popular, but the room is aging and too small to accommodate large class sizes. Now, we can bring everything up to date with safety standards and make the whole area more usable for students.”
The America’s Farmers Grow Rural Education program is part of a broad commitment by the Monsanto Fund to partner with farmers to strengthen rural communities. Following a successful pilot in Minnesota and Illinois, America’s Farmers Grow Rural Education debuted nationally last year, awarding $2.3 million to school districts coast to coast. Another program that is part of this effort is America’s Farmers Grow Communities, which gives winning farmers the opportunity to direct a $2,500 donation to a community nonprofit organization in their county. For more information about the America’s Farmers Grow Rural Education program and to view the official rules, visit www.GrowRuralEducation.com. A list of eligible states, counties and CRD’s can also be found on the site. About the Monsanto Fund The Monsanto Fund, the philanthropic arm of the Monsanto Company, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening the farm communities where farmers and Monsanto Company employees live and work. Visit the Monsanto Fund at www.monsantofund.org
Drought-stricken farmers and rural communities receive double funding HEPPNER, Oregon (Feb. 22, 2013) – The Heppner FFA Chapter will now be able to continue its agricultural education efforts, thanks to the support of local farmer, Barney Lindsay, and America’s Farmers Grow Communities. Sponsored by the Monsanto Fund, the philanthropic arm of Monsanto Company, Grow Communities provides farmers in eligible counties the chance to win a $2,500 donation for a local nonprofit organization of their choice.
Lindsay selected the Heppner FFA Chapter to receive this donation. The Heppner FFA Chapter will put some of the funds towards implementing a hydroponics system, which will allow it to grow vegetables year round for its community food bank. “I am happy to donate to the local FFA chapter because agriculture and FFA is our future,” said Lindsay. This year, the Monsanto Fund will invest nearly $6 million in rural
America through Grow Communities, which includes double donations for counties impacted by the historic drought. In Oregon, $7,500 is being given across 2 counties. America’s Farmers Grow Communities is sponsored by the Monsanto Fund to partner with farmers in helping them positively impact their communities. This program is part of the Monsanto Fund’s overall effort to strengthen rural America.
