OYCC crew tackles Park projects
The OYCC crew is hard at work placing the trusses on the new fish cleaning station they are constructing at Boardman Marina Park. The newly added grinder and stainless steel counters will enhance the much-used station, and will keep the area much cleaner without refuse cans. Seven Riverside High School students are gaining valuable work experience this summer through the Oregon Youth Conservation Corps, (OYCC). The OYCC was established by the Oregon Legislature in 1987 to provide a program to increase educational, training and employment opportunities for youth. They improve work skills, become instilled with a strong work
ethic and their experiences increase their employability. The program increases the kids’ social skills such as tolerance of diversity, team work, social responsibility, appreciation of the environment and personal development such as improved self-esteem. The program is administered by CAPECO (Community Action Program) and there are two local teams: one team
Music in the Parks A 10-event series of FREE outdoor concerts on the banks of theColumbia River. The performances will rotate between the Boardman and Irrigon Marina Parks and offer a variety of musical experiences:

in Umatilla County and another in Morrow County. CAPECO pays the salaries of the crew and crew leaders. RHS Seniors Kelvin Jimenez, Lizeth Gaytan, Clay Miller II, Lizbeth Gaytan, and Paulina Pena are joined by RHS Juniors Jose Agripino and Sergio Navarro, Jr. under the able crew leader Gene VanGorder. All members of the crew live in Boardman. The team began work July 7th, and will complete their mission on August 1st. All of their projects this year are in Boardman Park & Recreation District. Some of their projects have included sealing the exterior of the day use restroom facility, cleaning up and laying sod around the miniature golf course, painting the site number signs in the campground, pulling 30 20-pound bags of goatheads around the park, extending the refuse stations in the campground to hold two large dumpsters instead of one, which means setting forms, pouring concrete and constructing a new surround fence. The major project the
OYCC crew has undertaken is the construction of a new fish cleaning station. The old fish cleaning shed has been used for many years, but is small, so at most two fishermen can utilize the facilities at the same time. The new station is 12’ x 16’, and includes stainless steel counters and sinks, plus a macerator (grinder) between the four stations which will eliminate the use of a trash can for fish waste. The whole station will certainly be cleaner, and smell much nicer! The park is paying for the approximately $25,000 stainless steel counters and macerator, plus the hiring of a plumber and electrician to bring utilities up through the concrete floor. Crew Leader Gene VanGorder is effusive in his praise of his crew. “If I had to grade them, I would give them all an “A,” he says. With obvious pride in his charges, he enumerates some of the skills the

kids have learned. “They can all drive the Toro Work Cart, which is a stick shift; some of them can even back the cart up,” he laughs. “These kids have come prepared to work, even on the hottest of days,” he adds. Their work week is Monday through Friday, 6:00 am to 3:00 pm. The crew drew the plans for the fish cleaning station, which were reviewed by District Manager Ted Lieurance, with a few changes made. The crew was busy building the roof trusses on the day the North Morrow Times visited with them. The crew figured out the mathematical ratios of the trusses and walls for the project. When asked about their prior experience in the construction business, all but one of the crew said they have called upon their Riverside High School shop and technology classes, which have given them a solid background.
A few days later, the fish cleaning station at Boardman Marina Park is really taking shape. With all the fishing derbies in Boardman, the structure will be well used.

Summer heat brings a host of problems to the tomato patch
Author: Carol Savonen Source: Barb Fick CORVALLIS, Ore. – Summer heat brings a host of problems to the tomato patch. The Oregon State University Extension Service Master Gardener Program tracks the most common tomato problems and offers advice on what to do about them. • Blossom drop: It is usually caused by dry soil and dry winds, but also may 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 flowers. • Blossom end rot: The end of the fruit furthest away from the stem gets black – a condition caused by irregular watering practices and calcium deficiency. Water deeply and regularly. Add lime to soil in fall to increase calcium level in the soil for next year’s crop. It is most common in western Oregon. • Leaf rolling: A problem that is most often the result of heavy pruning or root injury. Plants may lose leaves but will recover. • Sun scald: Green tomatoes can get sunburned, especially those plants with leaf spot diseases or those recently pruned. • Early and late blight: These are fungal diseases. Look for water-soaked looking spots on lower leaves and stems. If you see these, pick them off. Avoid overhead watering and monitor and remove diseased leaves. For more detailed information and descriptions, photos and control methods for many more tomato maladies, consult OSU Extension’s “Online Guide to Plant Disease Control” and type in “tomato” in the search box. Or call or visit your local county office of the OSU Extension Service Master Gardener help desk for additional information. To find the Master Gardener chapter nearest you, look up your local county government pages in the telephone book or go to the OSU Master Gardener program online and scroll down and click on your county.

West Nile virus, a mild flu-like disease spread by mosquitoes, has been reported to have been found in two testing sites in Morrow County, Ore., according to Oregon Public Health officials. The mosquitoes were collected on the nights of July 21 in rural Irrigon and July 22-14 in rural Boardman. Health officials are advising people in Morrow County to take precautions against mosquitoes to avoid the risk of infection, including preventing mosquito bites. “While it is summertime and mosquitoes are making their presence known, mosquito bites don’t have to be inevitable,”said Greg Barron, manager of North Morrow Vector Control District. “People can protect themselves. And even if they do get a mosquito bite, the risk of infection is low.” Barron said the North Morrow Vector Control District is continuing to increase the district’s Ultra Low Volume (ULV) truck-mounted sprayers, and is considering spraying by helicopter, to reduce adult mosquito populations. Dr. Emilio DeBess, public health veterinarian at the Oregon Health Authority’s Public Health Division, says simple precautions can prevent the spread of West Nile virus · Eliminate sources of standing water that are a breeding ground for mosquitoes, including watering troughs, bird baths, ornamental ponds, buckets, wading and swim-
ming pools not in use and old tires. · When engaged in outdoor activities at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active protect yourself by using mosquito repellants containing DEET, oil of lemon eucalyptus or Picardin and follow the directions on the container. · Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants in mosquito-infested areas. · Make sure screen doors and
windows are in good repair and fit tightly. Because of the number of mosquito pools – samples of about 50 mosquitoes – testing positive in any area could lead to infection, Shelley Wight, Morrow County Health Department health educator / communicable disease coordinator, recommends people and animals be protected against mosquito bites. Eighty percent of people infected with West Nile virus exhibit no symptoms. Of the remaining 20 percent, most have very mild symp-
toms, such as fever, headaches and nausea lasting from three to six days. In a few cases, more severe symptoms occur, including convulsions or disorientation. The central nervous system also may be affected, resulting in a headache associated with fever, aseptic meningitis or encephalitis. People should consult their health care providers if they have these symptoms. Health care providers can contact the Morrow County Health Department for information on West Nile virus testing services that the Oregon State Public Health Laboratory offers.

During the group’s time there, they visited several landmarks including the Berlin Wall, the Audubon, and the European Union Parliament building. “There was information that we learned history-wise that we won’t learn in school,” Hancock said.

ton ladder provides a great chance for a close view. The tour also includes a stop by McNary’s navigation lock. If you are really lucky, you might see a barge “lock through.” Tours of the Washington North Shore lock and fish view room are pretty special because both are located in areas not ordinarily accessible to the public. Tour participants must be escorted by Corps staff. To take the tour, check in with the security guard at the Washington-side gate not later than 10 am. A park range will begin the tour at the navigation lock visitor center.

BEO Bancorp Reports 2nd Quarter Earnings
Bank of Eastern Oregon’s CEO Jeff Bailey Heppner, Oregon, (July 8, 2014) BEO Bancorp (OTCBB:BEOB) and its subsidiary, Bank of Eastern Oregon, announced 2nd quarter 2014 consolidated net income of $726,000, or $0.63 per share, compared to $762,000, or $0.72 per share, for second quarter 2013. Year to date earnings were $1,275,000, up 10.5% year over year. Total assets were $307.4 million, up 7.1% year over year. Net loans of $256.5 million were up 5.3% from the same period in 2013, while deposits were at $265.2 million, up 4.9% year over year. “While second quarter numbers are slightly behind last year, our year-to-date numbers are up significantly. We are an agricultural and natural resource-based institution; with our loan to asset ratio at 83.5% and loan to deposit ratio at 96.8%, I expect good results through our peak borrowing season,” said President and CEO, Jeff Bailey. Chief Financial Officer, Mark Lemmon said, “Return on Average Assets for the quarter was 0.95% and Return on Average Equity was
12.04%, compared to 1.05% and 14.46%, respectively, year over year.” Lemmon went on to say, “During second quarter we paid off our remaining subordinated, convertible debt, which had a minimal impact to ROE. Our year to date numbers compare well to June 30, 2013, with YTD ROA up 3.8% and ROE down 3.5%. It is important to note that total shareholders’ equity increased 12.7% year over year. We remain the highest capitalized bank in eastern Oregon.” Chief Operations Officer, Gary Propheter said, “Our deposit base continues to fund our loan growth in spite of the prolonged low interest rate environment. We are pleased that our market share continues to grow and expand across our entire trade area. We appreciate our customers’ confidence in Bank of Eastern Oregon’s safety and soundness and appreciation for our great products and friendly service.” “Wheat harvest is just getting started. We expect yields to be impacted by the dry spring we experienced. Hay prices are strong and cattle prices continue to go higher. All in all, we expect decent performance in our agricultural portfolio,” said Bailey. “We are seeing new loan opportunities across our branch and loan production office network. It is gratifying to see the growth in loans as well as deposits. We appreciate the confidence that our customers have in our team of bankers,” concluded Bailey.

Boardman to review utility billing ordinance During their July 15th council meeting, Boardman City Councilors heard concerns from residents of the newly formed Bella Vista Estates Cooperative regarding their utility bills. Bella Vista Estates, previously known as Desert Springs Estates, is a manufactured home park with 128 spaces within the city limits. Tenants of the park asked the Council to change their ordinance, which requires the city to
bill property owners, to bill tenants instead. After meeting with the city’s attorney, David Blanc, Councilors made no decision on the matter. Instead the council asked for patience from the tenants to see if there was a way to update the language in the ordinance, to make it more fair and equitable for all residents of Boardman.
In other city business, Police Chief Rick Stokoe reported the 4th of July went well, with a few minor problems. Also, the Council heard an update on the produce stand located on NE Front Street, which is up and running. The next meeting of the Boardman City Council will be Tuesday, August 5, 2014 at 7pm at Boardman City Hall.
