Boardman Buzzzzzzzz Happy New Year Boardman!

I hope that you all had a great Christmas and holiday season. I loved the snow we got all day Christmas Day! Looked pretty coming down, Diane Wolfe, CEO stuck to the grass a little but the streets

didn’t get icy!

2013 will be a fun and exciting year here at the Chamber office. We are really excited to start the move into the new SAGE Center and get the store open and running. I know visitors that come by the Chamber office for information will certainly enjoy our new facility. It is our hope that the new center will entice them to spend a little more time in Boardman and of course a few more dollars!

One of the things I am looking forward to

is the opening of the Boardman Tire Factory. That will be a great addition to our community. People would stop in the office needing to get a tire fixed and we had to send them onto Hermiston, now we can keep them here! I am sure our local residents will be very pleased not to have to drive 50 or 100 miles to take their snow tires off this spring!

Some of our local residents are gearing up to take some dance lessons this month in

preparation for the Chamber Annual Awards Banquet. It’s been a long time since we have had a chance to dance in Boardman. This will be a great time to dust off your dance shoes and we will also recognize our outstanding citizens. I hope everyone is looking forward to this special event in February.

I wish everyone a very healthy and prosperous 2013.

SAGE Center Update The SAGE Center is starting to take shape and allure both locals and visitors. In December, the building’s dry wall and interior painting was completed. The SAGE Center committee poured over the wording and photographs that will be featured in displays to make any final edits and SAGE Center Manager, Kalie Davis, made a trip to Portland to check on the fabrication process on the exhibits. Staircases going up to the mezzanine have been built and installed. The stage in the 204 seat theatre is near completion and center stairways that will go around the two-story kinetic display is built will be

installed in the next two weeks.

Outside the interactive interpretive center, a flag pole has been erected and outdoor lighting both in the parking lot and on the building make the SAGE Center show up beautifully at night.

Davis has begun the process of reaching out to area schools to introduce the SAGE Center as an educational field trip experience for children and hopes to host a few schools before school lets out for summer break. She also started accepting volunteer applications for community members who want to be a part of SAGE Center daily operations both at exhibits and in The Store.

If you are interested in volunteering at The SAGE Center and would like more information, contact SAGE Center Manager Kalie Davis at The Port of Morrow at (541)4817678 or email kalied@portofmorrow.com.

The Store at SAGE Center, operated by the Boardman Chamber, is continuing the process of choosing inventory. The Chamber is still taking submissions for artwork to be juried late January. If you or someone you know is a local artist that would be interested in this opportunity, please contact Amber Killingbeck at (541)481-3014 or email amber@boardmanchamber.org.

The SAGE Center is scheduled to open in May and will be open seven days a week.

Christmas Tree Lighting The Annual Christmas Tree Lighting on December 5th was another success! The evening began outside the Boardman Senior Center when Mayor Phillips lit the Community Christmas Tree. Afterwards, the crowd warmed up inside with hot chocolate and cookies. Ms. Kienzle’s 2nd and 3rd grade choir from Sam Boardman Elementary sang two lively numbers and the kids from Boardman Child Development Center performed Jingle Bells. Following the school children, a nativity program, organized by Suzanne Gray and performed by children from area churches, finished up the program.

After the crowd sang a few Christmas carols, led by pianist Connie McElrath, Santa surprised the children and with his helpers, Xenia and Edith Velasco, handed out oranges and candy to over 70 children. The Boardman Chamber of Commerce would like

to thank all those who made this evening possible: Boardman Senior Citizens for use of the Senior Center, Boardman Hardware for donating candy canes, Banner Bank for donating cookies, Bank of Eastern Oregon for donating oranges, City of Boardman for decorating the Christmas tree, Connie McElrath for playing the piano, Suzanne Gray for organizing the Nativity Scene, First Community Bank for being an event sponsor, Kim Mabry for donating her time to make the cookies, Kiwanis Club of Boardman for donating candy, Santa Claus, Santa’s Helpers: Edith & Xenia Velasco, and the countless volunteers who helped move tables and chairs, serve goodies and clean-up…your efforts are much appreciated!

At their December 11, 2012 meeting, the Boardman City Council took the first step in passing a gang ordinance. The ordinance changes the City’s Municipal Code to include language establishing a procedure for law enforcement to identify and designate persons who are associated with criminal gangs and involved in criminal gang activity.

The ordinance also includes language for those persons to appeal the gang designation.

A person who meets the criteria set in the ordinance, designating them as a gang member, will be recommended to the Morrow County District Attorney’s Office to be placed on a list of designated gang members. This list will be a useful tool for law enforcement in cases where it may be a parole violation for someone to be in the company of known gang members. The designated gang members list will

clearly outline those individuals.

By a vote of four to one, the ordinance had its first reading Tuesday night and is expected to have a second reading and passage at the January 3, 2013 City Council meeting.

In other City business the Council approved an Intergovernmental Agreement with the Port of Morrow for providing water to City water customers on Laurel Lane.

The City’s auditors, Fife and Cockburn, presented the annual audit review last night. The auditors gave the City a clean audit opinion with no exceptions. The Council also said goodbye to Ed Glenn and Steve Doherty as they both attended their last City Council meeting as Councilors. Their terms end December 31, 2012.

Mayor Phillips presented them each with a Certificate of Appreciation.

Columbia River Community Health Services 450 Tatone Street, Boardman 541-481-7212 IS PROUD TO RECOGNIZE OUR EMPLOYEE FOR 2012 - 3 RD QUARTER

Shari Stokoe joined Columbia River Community Health Services in April 2012. Shari works as a Medical Assistant, Occupational Assistant and Laboratory Technician.

On December 5, 2012, two talented Hampstead Stage Company actors sailed into North Morrow County and performed Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic story Treasure Island to Irrigon and Boardman students. Utilizing multilayered costumes, many voices, even students and staff, the performers introduced young Jim Hawkins, Long John Silver and marauding pirates. All were searching for buried treasure, on an exciting journey across the Seven Seas.

Two Hundred and three Irrigon Elementary students and 204 Windy River Elementary students lined school gymnasium bleachers to participate in the swashbuckling tale. They learned about the dangers of greed and the importance of helping others. The fencing scenes were a great favorite, and students were curious to learn how actors change costumes so quickly, and how they learned to be actors.

The two performances were presented by North Morrow Community Foundation and funded by Morrow County Unified Recreation District. Two more assemblies, King Arthurs Court will be presented at AC Houghton and Sam Boardman Elementary Schools in April 2013.

Please call for an appointment.

Don’t let disease foul your bird feeder CORVALLIS, Ore. – As you’re welcoming wild birds into your yard this winter, be sure to keep your bird feeder clean and keep an eye on the health of your feathered diners.

“Sick birds will either be found dead or perched, often with feathers in disarray, eyes squinted or wings held out,” said Dana Sanchez, a wildlife specialist with the Oregon State University Extension Service. “Healthy birds are alert and mobile, whereas sick birds stand out because they are neither of those.”

Birds can get salmonella from bird feeders. Other diseases can spread when birds congregate or land on infected perches, Sanchez said.

“If the sick bird is associated with your feeders, take down the feeders and clean them,” she said.

“It is probably a good idea to keep the feeders down for two to three weeks, until the disease has had a chance to run its course in the local population. Allow the bird to recover on its own. Make sure children, pets and free-ranging cats cannot get to the bird.”

Sanchez offered these tips to make sure your feeders are clean

and free of mold for backyard visitors. · Clean your feeders once a month during low-use times and up to once a week during high-use periods. · Scrape off bird droppings and rinse or wipe clean the perches with a solution of 1 part vinegar to 20 parts water. · Hang your feeders where the feed won’t get wet. If seed in a feeder has gotten wet and compacted, remove the feed and discard it. Then clean the feeder with warm water and a brush. · Dry the feeder before refilling with the fresh seed. · If your feeder’s location is likely to get wet often, only fill it with a one- to two-day supply of seed at a time. · Clean up under feeders regularly and prevent accumulation of feed beneath the feeders by moving them occasionally. Seed on the ground can attract other animals, such as rodents, that you would prefer to not have near your home.

Morrow SWCD & MCLG present “Life after CRP” at joint annual meeting Morrow SWCD and Morrow County Livestock Growers will hold their 26th annual joint program at St. Patrick’s Parish Hall in Heppner in conjunction with the Heppner Town & Country celebration on Thursday, January 10, 2013.

Morrow SWCD will hold their regular January meeting and Annual Meeting beginning at 10:00 am. The joint program “Life after CRP” will follow a hosted lunch beginning at 12:15 pm for attendees.

The future of the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) beginning with expiring 2013 contracts (13,211 acres) is unknown. Some of the acres that may expire next fall have been in permanent cover since the beginning of the program in 1986, 27 years. Depending on varieties of grass, returning the acres to cropland or rangeland may require extensive tillage and herbicide

treatment. Larry Lutcher, OSU Extension Service, will provide information on field trials conducted in Morrow County for CRP takeout.

Bill Jepson will report on personal experiences and best practices for success of CRP takeout.

“Returning CRP land to cropland can be very expensive and we want to provide Morrow County landowners with the best information available for them to make cost-effective management decisions”, says Jim McElligott, district chair.

USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) staff will also be available to provide information on the economics of CRP take-out.

Following the CRP presentation, Morrow County Livestock Growers (MCLG) have scheduled additional presentations prior to their Annual Meeting.

Cold and Flu Season is here Umatilla County Public Health wants to alert residents that cold and flu season has arrived. Reported cases for influenza here in the county have so far been low but nationally the season has started early and it could be a bad season. “Getting vaccinated against the flu is one of your best protective measures against influenza infection,” reports Genni Lehnert-Beers, Administrator, Umatilla County Public Health.

Anyone 6 months of age or older is encouraged to be vaccinated.

CDC officials report the vaccine formulated for this year is well matched to the strains of the virus seen so far. “This is good news”, reports Lehnert-Beers, “when a vaccine is well matched to the circulating virus it means a potential for less illness”.

There are measures that you

can do to protect yourself and your family against illnesses: · Wash your hands- Washing your hands for a minimum of 20 seconds often will help protect you from germs. · Cover your cough- Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when coughing or sneezing and then promptly throw it in the trash OR cough into the crook of your elbow to prevent germs from spreading. · Stay home when you are sickstay home from work, school, and errands when you are sick. You will help prevent others from catching your illness. · Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

What to do if you do get sick: · Get plenty of rest and stay home. · Drink plenty of liquids · Avoid using alcohol and tobacco · Contact your primary care provider with questions or concerns about your illness.

Be proactive and keep yourself well this cold and flu season. Get your flu vaccination at your local pharmacy, health department, or doctor’s office.

Kiwanis sponsor Breakfast with Santa and sleigh rides On December 15th the Boardman Kiwanis Club hosted their second annual community Breakfast with Santa.

188 people attended the event held at the Boardman Senior Center. Kiwanis and community members served a sausage and pancakes breakfast for $3.00.

Member Rhonda Hamley said “We didn’t do it for a fundraiser, we wanted to have a fun family event for the holidays here in Boardman.”

Riverside High School’s Key Club helped children make ornaments to take home for their Christmas tree and applied wash-off stickers to the many little faces.

Santa and Mrs. Clause (Dennis and Anna Reich of Pasco) showed up to complete the event with

candy and oranges for all the children. Pictures with Santa were taken for free, and placed on a cd.

After breakfast and crafts, families could enjoy a ride on the horse drawn wagon around the City Square. Equine Elegance is owned

by Brian and Karli Cook of Irrigon who donated their time and services.

Boardman Kiwanis would like to say a big thank you to all who volunteered their time to help make Breakfast with Santa a success and to those who donated services, supplies and money.

The Boardman Senior Center donated the facility; Equine Elegance - Wagon Rides; Eastern Oregon Mobile Slaughter-Sausage; ConAgra - Waffle Mix ; C&DCandy.

Santa and Mrs. Claus (Dennis and Anna Reich of Pasco) along with daughter Michelle Erickson, Kiwanis member enjoy pictures with Santa.
