Umatilla Electric Cooperative will upgrade power lines in a portion of the Port of Morrow from mid-January to May 2015. The project may cause congestion along Industrial Way Avenue and Utility Lane in the Port. No scheduled outages are anticipated during the upgrade; however, if any become necessary, UEC will contact affected members. The project is necessary to keep electrical facilities safe, reliable, and able to withstand the ever-increasing electrical loads within the Port
of Morrow, said Robert Echenrode, UEC Engineering Manager. Summit Line Construction of Heber City, Utah, will do the work under contract with UEC, replacing lines originally built in 1969. Transmission lines (115-kilovolt) and distribution lines (12.47kv) will be replaced with larger wire. All wooden poles within the project boundary will be replaced, and three steel poles will be added. UEC is a member-owned electric cooperative that serves about 14,000 accounts from Boardman to the Blue Mountains.

Share your creative ideas about what you would do as mayor. Winners will receive cash prizes in each category and will be entered into the state contest for a chance to win an iPad Air! · Poster Contest for 4th & 5th Graders - $25 Cash Prize · Essay Contest for 6th thru 8th Graders - $50 Cash Prize · Digital Media Contest for 9th thru 12th Graders - $100 Cash Prize General Rules: · All submissions must be accompanied by a completed entry form. · All forms for students under age 18 must be signed by the student’s parent or guardian. · Entry forms may be photocopied. · Only one submission per student will be accepted . · Submissions become the property of the Oregon Mayors Association (OMA). · OMA retains the right to publish entries along with the names

What Does a Mayor Do? Oregon mayors are elected by the voters in their city to serve as the chair of the city’s governing body—the city council. They are the recognized civic leader in the eyes of the community and the person who represents their city to other governments and individuals. The mayor presides over council meetings and participates in discussions. In many cases he or she votes on issues only in cases of a tie. Depending on the city’s charter (the equivalent of a constitution), the mayor may also appoint committees to study public policy (in areas such as parks, transportation, community planning, libraries, traffic safety, etc.) with council approval, veto ordinances (city laws) passed by the council, and sign ordinances and other records approved by the council. Judging Criteria
Judging of the local contest will be conducted by Mayor Sandy Toms and other persons appointed by the mayor. A panel of Oregon mayors will judge the statewide entries. In selecting the winners, the judges will consider: · Creativity – Does the student demonstrate curiosity and originality? · Clarity/Sincerity of Thought – Is the submission well thought out and organized? · Proper Use of Grammar – Does the submission contain proper spelling, grammar and punctuation? · Subject Relevancy – Are the major points relevant to the role of a government leader? Does the student demonstrate an understanding of municipal government and the job of mayor? For detailed Contest Rules and Official Entry Form, go to http:// www.cityofboardman.com/sites/ default/files/fileattachments/ city_council/page/500/ application.pdf. Applications are due by April 15, 2015. Questions? Contact Mayor Sandy Toms at mayor@cityofboardman.com.

Boardman Buzzzzzzzz HAPPY NEW YEAR BOARDMAN!! I always find it refreshing to start a New Year and look at all the New opportunities that lie ahead, for instance our New offering Jan. 9th from 1:30 to 4 pm of 2 seminars ( See more details Below) by renowned speaker Pat McGaughey. It will be followed up shortly by the 25th Annual Awards Banquet on February 13th in combination with a Mardi Gras Casino night that’s bound to be a memorable event. Before you know it we’ll be putting on the FrostBite Scholarship Golf Tournament in March followed up by The Boardman Thunder 4th of July Celebration. Now I could go on and on so please keep informed of all the local events at our Chamber Website , Chamber Review News Letter, Facebook, E.O. Chamber page, Chamber Chatter and our KOHU radio segment. Now I would like to give a Special Thank You to the City of Boardman, Port of Morrow, all the Volunteers and Our Entire Chamber Membership, it’s because of you that Boardman has progressed so wonderfully to be a Beautiful place to live, work and raise a family. Please stop in the Boardman Chamber office to say Hi the door is Always Open. Respectfully, Dean Kegler Interim Chamber Director SAVE THE DATE Jan.9th International business consultant and professional speaker Patrick H. McGaughey, CPF will be presenting this dynamic business seminar to Chamber members and guests. “Selling Naked” and “Fish on” Marketing Seminar is coming to Boardman! Ask yourself, “Why am I reading this article?” The answer is in one of the key lessons offered in a special 2-part business seminar for members and guests of the Boardman Chamber of Commerce Friday January 9th 1:30 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. at the Sage Center. Independent business owners across the country continuously search for the best ways to reach more customers at the lowest possible cost. The “Fish on! Marketing” seminar and “Selling Naked” seminar will provide attendees skills and strategies to build a larger market share, sell more product and involve more team members in the overall success of the business. What is “Fish on!” marketing? The answer lies in asking the question. When customers and potential customers ask questions about our business, they immediately give us permission to sell or promote our products and services. If we have their permission, we have their interest and then it’s time to sell. Are we creating the interest that generates
the question? Are we ready for the questions? Finally, are we ready to help our customers buy? So, what is “Selling Naked?” First, it’s not what you think but it does ‘bare’ the truths all sales representatives need to know and learn. The best of the best sales representatives in any industry sell naked every day and once the skill is learned and practiced, sales increase for any business. “Fish on! Marketing” and “Selling Naked” are two seminars for the price of one being offered by the Boardman Chamber of Commerce. International business consultant and professional speaker Patrick H. McGaughey, CPF will be presenting this dynamic business seminar to Chamber members and guests in conjunction with his work as strategic planning facilitator for the chamber board of directors. Admission is free to Chamber Members for the first 2 attendees; additional attendees may register for $29.95 per person General admission is $49.95 per person for both seminars. All proceeds remain with the Chamber of Commerce to support its mission of the Boardman Chamber. Call to reserve your seat— limited space available, (541) 481-3014.

The city of Boardman launches redesigned website The City of Boardman has redesigned its website. After months of working with web design company, AHA Consulting of Portland, Oregon, the city’s website committee is excited to launch the new, more interactive, and informative website. The initial city website was launched in 2004. The city wanted an updated web presence that provided users information on services available at the City of Boardman. “We feel like this fresh modern design is a great represen-
tation of the customer service we strive for every day” said City Manager Karen Pettigrew. The newly redesigned website, www.cityofboardman.com provides access to city resources and contacts in a clean, easily navigable format. Users now have the opportunity to research the city ordinance database, and view past city minutes, past press releases, and city maps. The new website is accessible via computer, smart phone and tablet. One of the most exciting new
features to the website is the two newsletters users can subscribe to. The Boardman Bulletin newsletter will email subscribers the most current information about the city, such as road closures, press releases, events, job opportunities, etc. The Amber Alert newsletter will notify subscribers of Amber Alerts when they are activated. The “subscribe to newsletters” link can be found under the “community” link on the homepage. The city hopes people will subscribe to both of these subscription lists.

The Northwest Food Processors Association and Boardman Foods, Inc. Vice President of Operations, Debbie Radie with the aid of local food processing companies have created a customized curriculum to bring high profile trainers and in-demand training courses to the Boardman, OR region. The curriculum includes Food Defense, a topic in high demand with the implementation of the Food Safety Modernization Act, Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response, Basic Food Microbiology, and Industrial Refrigeration. To view the complete curriculum, visit nwfpa.org/training.
NWFPA held two Technical and Regulatory Training Needs workshops in June 2013 and September 2013 to gather information from Boardman area food processing companies and form a buying group for technical and regulatory training. These workshops and the curriculum are in response to training needs created by new and reformed food safety regulations. With sponsor Riverfront Center Port of Morrow and commitment from companies to fill seats, NWFPA can offer courses at a lower cost than other training providers. In addition to the low cost of each course, employers are able to send multiple employees to receive training while saving on
travel expenses and without sacrificing productivity. Employees who attend the courses are also eligible to earn credit hours that can be put towards a planned certificate at Blue Mountain Community College. The Boardman and Tri-Cities area is a hub of food processing in eastern Oregon that includes potato growers, onion growers and dehydrated onion products, frozen vegetables, and snack food and beverage manufacturing. Related industries such as cold storage warehouses also have operations in the Boardman and TriCities areas and have the opportunity to save on training costs, as well.
