Oregon Trail Library District celebrates 20 years of progress In 1992, the Oregon Trail Library District was formed to serve the communities of Boardman and Heppner. At that time, there were no computers and no internet at the libraries. Now the District has a web site, online databases, wi-fi as well as many computers for the public to use. The District belongs to the Sage Library System with a shared catalog of more than one million items from more than 75 libraries including community colleges and Eastern Oregon University. The District
has an early literacy outreach program with a storyteller that visits daycares and Headstart classes in Boardman, Heppner and Irrigon. The community of Irrigon joined the Library District in 2000 and on November 29, 2012 the District broke ground for the new 6000 square foot library facility there. Come join us in celebrating the District’s 20 years of progress, have some refreshments, and see the plans for the new Irrigon branch on Monday, Dec. 10th in Boardman at 200 South Main Street and in Heppner at 444 North Main Street on Wednesday, Dec. 12th, 4-8 pm.

100 years ago Oregon women given right to vote by governor On November 5, 1912, Oregon men voted 52% in favor of granting women the right to vote. Governor Oswald West asked Abigail Scott Duniway, the 79-year-old “Mother of Oregon suffrage,” to author Oregon’s Equal Suffrage Proclamation. On November 30, 1912, Governor Oswald West signed the proclamation.The proclamation cleared a path in Oregon for further addressing women’s social, political and economic equality and also allowed Oregon suffragists to turn their attention toward the national woman suffrage movement and the ratification of the 19th Amendment. View Century of Action’s “Votes for Women! The Oregon Story” exhibit, the original proclamation and Duniway’s 1913 voter registration card through December 30th at the State Capital Archives Building in Salem. Proclamation State of Oregon--Executive Department, Salem, Oregon, November 30, 1912 Whereas: The women of Oregon, after long and patient effort, have persuaded the men of the State to place them upon a footing of political equality by granting to them the right of suffrage through an amendment to Section 2 of Article 11 of the Constitution of the State; and, Whereas: Pursuant to the provisions of law, the Secretary of State of the State of Oregon in the presence of the Governor of the State of Oregon, did on the 29th day of November 1912 canvass the official election returns for the general election held in the State of Oregon on Tuesday, the fifth day of November, 1912; and, Whereas: It appears from the said official canvass that the following measure has been approved by a majority

On November 29th, the Oregon Trail Library District held a groundbreaking ceremony for the start of construction on the OTLD Irrigon Branch Library. The new building will attach to the Irrigon City Hall and will share a common lobby. The library building will be approximately 6,000 sq. ft. including children’s area, reading areas and a public meeting room. “We are excited to be finally starting construction on this much needed branch library for Irrigon. This is the result of six years of hard work and fundraising by the Library District and the Irrigon Friends of the Library” stated Marsha Richmond, District Director. Oregon Trail Library District Chairman, Ann Spicer, stated: “We will be so pleased to finally have a building in Irrigon so we can retire the old bus!” Work on the building is expected to take up to a year before it will be open to the public. “We plan to be open and all moved in to the new building by this time next year” stated Director Richmond.

Boardman to increase garbage rates January 1 At their November 6, 2012 meeting, the Boardman City Council passed Resolution 11-2012, a resolution increasing the City garbage rate beginning January 1, 2013. The increase is in response to a rate increase by the City’s garbage provider, Sanitary Disposal of Hermiston. They told the Council they were increasing the fee to the City due to an increase in fuel expenses, a decrease in cardboard sales, and the 2% cost of inflation. This is the first increase in garbage rates in Boardman since 2008. The cost of a 90 gallon residential cart will go from $10.05 per month to $11 per month. Other types of garbage services will increase anywhere from 10% to 14%.

Conservation Funding deadline extended HEPPNER, Ore. (Nov. 27, 2012) — Private landowners working on enhancing the sustainability of their farm, ranch or non-industrial private forestland now have additional time to apply for technical and financial assistance through their local USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) office. The deadline for application has been extended to December 21, 2012. NRCS works in partnership with private landowners, conservation and agricultural groups to identify and prioritize natural resource concerns within our communities across Oregon. This local guidance ensures that NRCS works collaboratively with land managers and partners to address and improve resource issues on a landscape scale. “Landowners now have additional time to come in and talk to us about their natural resource goals and concerns,” said Kacee Lathrop, District Conservationist in Morrow County. Based on input from the community and available funding, the following natural resource prob-

As well as aspen restoration. · Juniper removal in the Upper Rock Creek Watershed · Russian olive control on properties south of Boardman. · Increasing farm efficiency and reducing soil erosion by re-designing and rebuilding terraces to be farm over but still structurally viable to reduce soil erosion in the Eightmile Watershed. The Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) is a voluntary conservation program to help farmers, ranchers, and non-industrial forestland owners improve and enhance the condition of water, soil, and other natural resources on private working lands. These programs also offer additional as-
sistance for beginning, historically underserved and limited resource farmers, ranchers and forestry owners. For landowner stories, visit the Oregon NRCS Conservation http:// Showcase website: www.or.nrcs.usda.gov/news/ showcase/index.html NRCS encourages and invites interested agricultural, forestry and livestock producers to visit their local USDA Service Center and apply for and complete their program eligibility before the December 21, 2012 deadline. If you have not participated in USDA programs in the past, it is important to contact your local NRCS field office as soon as possible to ensure you have the time needed to make informed decisions and complete the application process. Local field office contacts: Kacee Lathrop: 541-676-5021 x113 Jennifer Wilson: 541-676-5021 x107 In addition to EQIP, other Farm Bill programs may be available. For example, Organic farmers can take advantage of a special EQIP program for use only with certified organic growers and those wanting to transition to organic production.

Ten(10) reasons to shop Boardman 1. Local Character & Prosperity In an increasingly regimented world, communities that preserve their one-of-a-kind businesses (who doesn’t love the idea of ‘mom n’ pop stores?) and unique character have a financial advantage. Local retailers also provide strong support to locally-made products, keeping money in our community. 2. Community Well-Being Locally owned businesses build strong communities by sustaining vibrant town centers, building economic and social relationships between shoppers, and contributing to local causes. According to an AIBA Economic Impact case study, every dollar you spend at an independent, local business, it creates 3.5 times more local economic benefit than dollars spent at a chain store. 3. Local Decision-Making Local ownership ensures that important decisions are made locally by people who live in the community and who will feel the impacts of those decisions. Thinking of supporting a local cause? According to an Anderson Study of Retail Economics, locally-owned firms contribute more to local charities
and fundraisers than do their national counterparts. 4. Keeping Dollars in the Local Economy Compared to chain stores, locally owned businesses recycle a much larger share of their revenue back into the local economy, enriching the whole community. According to a civic economic study in Michigan, for every $100 spent at a locally-owned business, $68 stays in the local economy compared to only $43 if spent at a national chain. 5. Jobs and Wages Locally owned businesses create more local jobs and, in some sectors, provide better wages and benefits than chains do. Local retailers and distributors also carry a higher percentage of locally-made goods than the chains, creating more jobs for local producers. 6. Entrepreneurship Entrepreneurship fuels America’s economic innovation and prosperity, and serves as a key means for families to move out of low-wage jobs and into the middle class. Supporting local community now can benefit our future generations. 7. Public Benefits and Costs Local stores require comparatively
little infrastructure and make more efficient use of public services relative to big box stores and strip shopping malls. Also it gives you the opportunity to get out and mingle with your community, without the hustle and bustle of many big box stores. 8. Environmental Sustainability Shopping locally helps to sustain Boardman by keeping it vibrant and compact- which in turn is essential to reducing automobile use, and air pollution. Besides- sometimes it is nice to spend a weekend without having to drive out of town! Alsothink of the gas you’d save on! 9. Competition A marketplace of many small businesses is the best way to ensure innovation and low prices over the long-term. 10. Product Diversity A multitude of small businesses, each selecting products based, not on a national sales plan, but on their own interests and the needs of their local customers, guarantees a much broader range of product choices. What if no one in Boardman wants a Snuggie? Only our local retailers would know such information.

Blue Mt. Community College announces Winter Term information Blue Mountain Community College in Boardman will have a semilull during the month of December as final exams will be finished on December 7 and classes do not start again until January 7, 2013. However, there are still things to be done and tasks to complete in this quieter time for students preparing to participate in classes during Winter Term. Registration for Winter opened in November and will remain open until the start of classes. Students are reminded that BMCC has instituted a No Late Add policy meaning they must be registered for their classes the day before they start. The intent of this policy shift is that research has shown that students who start classes on time and are prepared
have a much higher success rate in those classes. Students intending to register for classes during Winter Term will need to speak with an adviser and general academic advising is available at BMCC Boardman. Best case is to call ahead for an apppointment at 541-481-2099 but drop ins can usually be accommodated also. BMCC Boardman will be on Mondays and Wednesday from 1-5:30 pm through December 20. The entire college is closed until January 3. Other times can be arranged by appointment. GED Prep as well as English as Second Language (ESL) classes will kick off a new session on January 7, 2013. GED students who have not attended an orientation session this academic year will
need to attend a mandatory orientation session on January 8 & 10 from 5:30-8:30 pm at BMCC Boardman. There is a $10 orientation fee. Classes will begin the following week and will be held on Tuesdays and Thursday evenings from 5:30-8:30 pm. ESL classes will begin on January 7 and will be held on Monday and Wednesday from 5:30-8:30 pm. The fee for ESL and GED classes is $33 for the term. ESL students who are new to the program this academic year are urged to sign up on a Monday or Wednesday prior to January 7 during office hours. Feel free to stop in at BMCC Boardman and discuss your plans for furthering your education. We would like to help you set your path.

City of Boardman Code Compliance Official Keri Jarmer wants to remind everyone to take special care of their pets during the coming winter months. Just as people make adjustments in their clothing during winter months, it is necessary to make some adjustments in your pet’s care. A good rule to follow is if you’re cold outside, your pet is cold too! The following are some winter care tips to keep in mind: · Limit time outdoors with your pet if the thermometer reads below freezing, especially for small or short-haired animals. · Dogs who spend plenty of time outdoors, even if protected by a doghouse, run a risk of death due to the cold. The doorway of your dog’s house should be faced away from the wind or covered. Also, the house should be well-insulated and
481-BOOK
just big enough for them to stand up, turn around, and lie down inside comfortably. A doghouse that is too big won’t contain your dog’s body heat and stay warm. For multiple dogs, consider a house large enough to let them cuddle together. · Dogs and cats who lack thick fur coats and have low body fat reserves are generally not suited for cold temperatures. Pets who are old or who have been ill can also be sensitive to winter weather. When it’s frigid outside, it is especially important to keep them indoors or to provide a warm shelter outside the house. Consider dressing your dog in a warm dog sweater or jacket whenever you go for a walk. · Winter is a miserable time to be lost. Be sure your dog has a City license. The cost is $10 and all that
is needed to get one is to provide a copy of your dog’s current rabies vaccination. You can download the City’s dog license form by going to http:// www.cityofboardman.com/clerks/ dog.pdf . · Keeping warm depletes energy. Pets that spend a lot of time outdoors may need additional food. · Water should be checked regularly to make sure it is not frozen. To prevent your pet’s tongue from freezing to a metal bowl, use plastic. · All outdoor animals need protection from the elements. Remember the wind chill factor can lower temperatures drastically. · Warm automobile engines can be dangerous for cats and small wildlife that are seeking warmth. Try to get in the habit of rapping your car’s hood before you start your engine.

To the Editor: Thank you for the opportunity to share the joy we had in working with such great Board Members and being able to put together another Community Thanksgiving Celebration this year. We were sponsored by the Good Shepherd Lutheran, First Baptist, International Pentacostal Holiness, Our Lade of Guadalupe Catholic and Iglesia Bautista Fundamental Churches and the Church of Latter Day Saints were amazing in helping us serve and clean up after the dinner. Kathie Goad and the Key Club sent many young, enthusiastic servers. We want to say a special thank you to Diane Wolfe, who took time from her busy schedule and stepped in to supervise the set up of the Senior Center on the 21st and 22nd. And thank you to the rest of our hard working volunteers who made this event a success. Their smiles and encouragement and the smiles of the people who came to share their Thanksgiving with us made our day. Sam Boardman Elementary and the Senior Center graciously allowed us to use their facilities. The Boardman Chamber of Commerce worked on advertisement. We so appreciated the North Morrow
Times, who gave us a front page ad! And the East Oregonian who also mentioned us. Community Church, Franz Bread, Columbia River Processing, The North Shell, the Bank of Eastern Oregon, Columbia River Community Health Services, The First Baptist Church, Mountain Valley Land Company, Taylor Transfer, Inc., Threemile Canyon Farms, LLC, Umatilla Electric Cooperative, Beef N. W., Cascade Specialties, Marty Broadbent, Kathy Neal, Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church, Boardman Foods, Watts Bros., Morrow Cold Storage, Lamb Weston/Conagra Foods, Portland General Electric and David Gray made generous donations. There was also a gracious donation at the dinner. Thank you. We also praise our Lord Jesus Christ, for the success of this venture. We know that He was our strength and our hope and our wisdom. We give Him praise and the glory for keeping us safe. We will continue to life our community before Him, that He may grant it, His greatest blessing. Thank you Boardman! Jane Akers & Penny Jurney & the Board Members of The Community Thanksgiving Celebration.
