Spud Cellar changes hands, names Another returning Riverside High School graduate is making her mark in Boardman. Andrea Sutherland, class of 1992, has returned to Boardman after spending 25 years in California, and has purchased the former Lynard’s Spud Cellar. The new name: Smiley’s Happy Place, has an abundance of the smiley face balloons decorating the place. “All of this has just happened, so I’m scurrying to take care of changing the electric bill, DISH, vendors, getting a new sign ordered, and getting Internet service for free Wi-Fi,” says Sutherland. Being in business must run in the family: Andrea’s sister owns Boardman Jumpstart Java and encouraged her sister to return to Boardman. Sutherland spent nine years in the Air Force, and returns with two daughters, ages one and four who will also keep her busy. Sutherland’s parents, Wanda & Jerry Carr are also in the Boardman area, Jerry Carr grew up on a ranch near Arlington, but the couple has lived in Boardman since
the 1980’s. The establishment offers a full bar, and has three of Ordnance Brewery’s finest on tap plus a huge assortment of domestic and imported brews. Food prepared on site includes pizza, sandwiches, fish and chicken dinner. She intends to “tweak” the menu to include other favorites. Call in orders are welcomed: call 481-4855 to place your order. For right now, Smiley’s Happy Place is open from 1:00 to 10:00 pm, but Sutherland intends to change that to be open 11:00 am to 11:00 pm soon.

Historic Columbia River Highway 2016 Centennial Celebration By: Carol Michael, June, 2016 The Historic Columbia River Highway (Historic Route 30) turns 100 – years old in 2016. The Centennial Celebration invites Oregon residents and visitors from around the world to honor one of the most significant, scenic and historic roads ever built in the United States. The Centennial year will feature events up and down the Gorge; Library Exhibits; Photography Exhibits; Colored Lantern Slide Shows, Poetry Workshops, a temporary philatelic station at the Bridal Veil Post Office and Pictorial Postmark’s; a recreation of an early 1900s Auto Camp; Lectures; Concerts; Parades; a Gorgeous 60 Mile Relay Race and much more Centennial events continue through November, 2016. Find events at http://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/ HWY/HCRH/Pages/ Centennial.aspx. The Historic Columbia River
Highway is an approximately 75mile-long scenic highway between Troutdale and The Dalles, built through the Columbia River Gorge between 1913 and 1922. This first planned and oldest scenic roadway in the United States, has been recognized in many ways: listed on the National Register of Historic Places, designated a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers; considered a “destination unto itself;”[4] and designated an All-American Road by the U.S. Secretary of Transportation. The original section of scenic highway was to be modeled after the great scenic roads of Europe. From the very beginning, the roadway was envisioned not just as means of traveling by the then popular Model T, but designed with an elegance that took full advantage of all the natural beauty along the route.
In laying out the highway, engineers sought to create a transportation artery, and to make the gorge’s “beautiful waterfalls, canyons, cliffs and mountain domes” accessible to “men from all climes”. According to locating engineer John A Elliott, “grades, curvature, distance and even expense were sacrificed to reach some scenic vista or to develop a particularly interesting point.” All the natural beauty spots were fixed as control points and the Looking west, Mitchell Point Tunnel, Columbia River Highway.

IMESD Receives Innovation Awards from OAESD Pendleton – The InterMountain Education Service District (IMESD) was awarded two New Ideas in Education Innovation Awards for 2015-16 by The Oregon Association of Education Service Districts (OAESD) in May. These annual awards are for innovative ideas, projects or programs initiated in member ESD organizations. The IMESD was awarded for its School Security Initiative and its Wellness Hubs. The School Security Initiative is a partnership between the IMESD, the City of Pendleton Police Department and other regional law enforcement agencies to identify security concerns at school buildings and develop plans to be more prepared for school incidents. Stuart Roberts, chief of the Pendleton Police Department, has worked diligently to do site visits at all IMESD school districts to inspect buildings and recommend safety improvements. Integrating health and education to empower students and families to be healthy and ready to learn is the mission of the Wellness Hubs the IMESD has been developing with its districts. The concept of the Wellness Hubs is to form partnerships between school districts, local public health departments and community agencies to provide healthcare at
school buildings. Wellness Hubs are currently operating in the Morrow County, Echo, Milton-Freewater and Umatilla school districts, with plans to implement additional hubs in school districts next school year. Partnering agencies that make this care possible include: Umatilla Morrow Head Start, Capeco, Oregon Department of Human Services, Advantage Dental, Morrow County Health District, Columbia River Community Health Services, Morrow County Court, Morrow County Public Health, Umatilla County Public Health, Boardman Police Department, Morrow County Sheriff’s Department and Community Counseling Solutions through GOBHI (Greater Oregon Behavioral Health Initiative). “The IMESD is pleased to receive these two OAESD Innovation Awards for these important initiatives because they recognize the tremendous value that regional partnerships have in making a difference for our students across eastern Oregon,” said Mark Mulvihill, IMESD superintendent. According to OAESD’s Innovation Award criteria, the program or project chosen must have a positive impact on students or ESD services and be sustainable and capable of reproduction.

Eastern Oregon school districts to test drinking water for lead this summer Pendleton – School districts across eastern Oregon will be testing their drinking water this summer to determine if lead contamination exists. Some districts have already completed testing. Currently, there are no state or federal requirements for schools to test drinking water for lead, and it has not been a practice in the past. In mid May, the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) and the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) created a plan regarding lead in school water. The plan requests all school districts that get drinking water from public water systems test for lead in school buildings; requires districts to use certified drinking water testing labs to process the water samples; asks ODE and OHA to develop a method for schools to report results to OHA; and for OHA to provide drinking water expertise to schools for support as they test. Many schools receive their water from community or city water systems. These public water systems regularly test the water and many already treat the water to help
reduce corrosion of plumbing. However, lead that is present in pipes and fixtures in building plumbing can enter the water at the tap and expose those who drink it — that is why sampling and testing for lead at each tap is important. Larry Glaze, superintendent of the La Grande School District, said the district has started the testing process in their school buildings and will share the results with the community when they are completed. “Student safety is our number one concern, and we are incorporating scheduled periodic testing for lead in drinking water into our five-year maintenance plan,” Glaze said. Any drinking water from a tap above acceptable lead limits will be addressed, and district administration is communicating clearly with local media, Glaze said. Morrow County School District has also begun the testing process. “MCSD decided as soon as the news broke in Portland about lead in the water that we need to test for lead in drinking water,” said
Dirk Dirksen, superintendent. “Additionally, we found a need to develop standard protocols that provide routine safety checks for this concern, develop a comprehensive response plan to address any issues found in all schools and facilities, including a communication plan for delivering the information to parents and the community at large,” Dirksen said. Some state funds may be available in fall 2016 to reimburse school districts who test their drinking water this summer. Mark Mulvihill, IMESD superintendent, said the important thing is to help school districts get this testing done. “The IMESD is committed to supporting our 18 component districts with whatever they need to test their drinking water and ensure we are doing everything possible to ensure students and staff are safe,” Mulvihill said. For more information about the plan to support school districts, please visit the Oregon Health Authority at http:// www.oregon.gov/oha/news/.

Colorful American Indian Trade Blankets on View July 16-Nov.15, 2016 at Maryhill Museum of Art (GOLDENDALE, Wash., June 17, 2016) – A Kaleidoscope of Color: American Indian Trade Blankets will be on view at Maryhill Museum of Art July 16 – November 15, 2016. The exhibition will explore commercially produced trade blankets as an important facet of Indian culture, showcasing 20 pre1925 blankets from well-known historic manufacturers such as Buell Manufacturing Company, J. Capps & Sons, Racine Woolen Mills, Oregon City Woolen Mills, and Pendleton Woolen Mills. The featured blankets are from private collections and offer a rare opportunity to see some of the most colorful items ever created by American industrial designers. A Brief History of Trade Blankets Historically, North America’s Native peoples fashioned warm wearing robes from woven cotton, yucca, feathers or rabbit skins, or from tanned elk and buffalo hide. Trade blankets made by outsiders first appeared on the continent in the 18th century, when the Hudson’s Bay Company imported English “point” blankets. From 1780 to 1890, these blankets were a staple of the fur trade, especially in Canada and the northern tier states. During the same period, Navajo weavers were well known for their fine wearing blankets. But with the arrival of trading posts at the end
of the 19th century, traders encouraged Navajo customers to focus on the production of rugs for sale to distant markets; this advice, coupled with reservation constraints that limited Native access to the materials needed to create their own blankets, Navajo weavers largely stopped making blankets. Enterprising American woolen mills saw an opportunity and began producing brightly-colored blankets with bold geometric designs for sale to the Native populace. These trade blankets soon became an important part of Native culture and for general household use. Although Indian trade blankets are synonymous with 20th-century reservation style, manufacturers were dependent on sales to the non-Native population. Instead of transferring specific Native designs onto blankets, they created patterns that appealed to mainstream romantic stereotypes of Indian imagery and specific pattern names were assigned because of their lyrical quality rather than any relationship to objective origins. Trade blanket aficionados favor blankets made prior to 1942 – the year mills began manufacturing for the war effort. The majority of vintage robes still in circulation come from non-Native families as Indian people took great pride in their
blankets and generally used them until they were worn out. Others were valued as burial attire and the practice of wrapping departed relatives in a new Pendleton blanket is still common in Navajo communities. A Kaleidoscope of Color: American Indian Trade Blankets is generously supported by Pendleton Woolen Mills. Visitors Information: Maryhill Museum of Art is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., March 15 to November 15.

Preus was quick to credit her “team” at the College for laying the groundwork for success and allowing her to do her job well. “We could not have passed a bond, or have been so successful with our student success initiatives, or have improved relationships across campus without those who work with me and throughout the College,” Preus said. “I’m also fortunate to have a Board that trusts and supports me.” Preus’ new contract with the College will run through June 30, 2019.

The library is located on the corner of 3rd and Columbia in Irrigon. A.C. Houghton and Irrigon Elementary students participated in a Penny Drive to help support this library. The classes that collected the most money won a trip to the
dedication of this library on May 25th! Many of these students brought their own books to add to the library! Each child was given a book mark during the dedication and later was treated to lemonade and cookies! You may take a book, return that book, keep that book or exchange it for a different book! Please visit our Little Red Library often and enjoy our selections!

Life along the Columbia River 95 years ago Notes of Historical and Genealogical Value. Extracted from June,Boardman Mirror, Newspaper of 1921, Morrow Co. Oregon Here are bits of local history from 1921: Housing, School, Community, Agricultural Production and Economic Development – Sound Familiar? Retyped by Carol Michael. June 3, 1921 IRRIGON BOOSTERS ARE DOING BIG THINGS FOR THE AUTO TOURIST! Irrigon’s park has been set aside for auto tourists, so we are reliably informed. The park contains about two acres, has good shade trees and is reasonably protected from the bad winds of this section. Camp stoves can be set up in various places in the park and good water can be had from nearby faucets. There is also a bathing place on the Columbia River just east of the town and fine shade trees make it an ideal spot for bathers. Bathers can drive down near the bathing beach, but it is only a short walk from the camp grounds. The park will accommodate 50 or more automobiles; it is leased from the railroad company. No charges is made and campers desiring any information can secure it from the management of the Irrigon Inn, Stewards restaurant or from the railroad agent. The park is located in the southeast corner of Irrigon, just across the railroad tracks from the Columbia River highway. The townspeople heartily welcome campers and are pleased to assist them in any way possible. LOCAL NOTES Miss Dorothy Boardman is sick with a severe cold, bordering on pneumonia. Several large boxes packed with clothing were sent Thursday to the Armenian relief expedition. The Ladies Aid Society met at the church Wednesday afternoon. Plans were made for a dinner to be
served in the school cafeteria on election day, June 7th. Residents of the Project shouldn’t forget that June 7th is election of officers of the Parents-Teacher’s association and every mother in the community should be present and cast her vote. We are all desirous of good schools and this is one way we can work together to get them. Don’t forget to come. SAY SNOWFLAKE WHEN YOU WANT BREAD. There is no better bread on the market today than Arlington Made Bread. Baked in the sanitary electric ovens of the Arlington Bakery – W.A.Egghmann, Prop. Arlington, Oregon. June 10, 1921 Oregon News Notes of Principal Events Happening During the Week: There are now 33 claimants to the reward offered for the apprehension of the murderers of Til Taylor, late Sheriff of Umatilla County. Thousands of giant rats, driven from the wharves and Front Street basements by the high water, are swarming through the business section of Portland seeking new habitation. Complaints have begun pouring in to authorities from store owners and shop keepers. LOCAL NOTES The Strait’s are now building the Boardman ferry at the water’s edge just beyond the depot. We hope it will be finished by July 4 so we can have one grand celebration. How about the 4th? Are any of the various organizations planning on a fiesta for that day? The Ladies’ Aid will have a food sale on Saturday. These are held once a month and all the ladies on the Project contribute. Ladies are asked to get their contributions in as early as possible a, and bachelors are asked to remember the sale and stock up for a good Sunday meal. Next Sunday evening Helen Boardman and Rachel
Johnson are to lead the C. Endeavor. Meeting begins at 7:30 promptly. Everyone, young and old, are asked to be present. It is splendid the manner in which the young people have taken hold this work, but they feel the need of the support of older folks. Last week Mrs. Finnell departed for Coeur d’Alene, Idaho on Friday. She went to Arlington, crossed the river to Roosevelt and boarded a train for Spokane. Let the Mirror print your butter wrappers and help your home paper. Paul Smith and family were Sunday guests at the I. Skoubo ranch. NOTICE OFANNUAL SCHOOL MEETING – Notice is hereby given to the legal voters of School District No. 25, of Morrow county, State of Oregon, that the ANNUAL SCHOOL MEETING of said district will be held at the school house to begin at the hour of 2:00 p.m. on the third Monday of June, being the 20 the day of June, A.D. 1921. SAVING OF DAIRY LOSS IS PURPOSE OF COURSE – How to increase your dairy receipts by proper management and care of the dairy herd will be covered by lectures and demonstrations at Oregon Agricultural College Farmers week, June 13 to 18th. Dairying is one of Oregon’s leading industries and also one that probably suffers a larger loss thru poor management than any other industry of the state. The loss from disease, which can largely be eliminated, is 20 per cent of the value of the dairy products sold yearly, and loss thru poor management is probably as great or greater.

ditch was turned into his field and almost submerged his hay crop. Our little city is by way of becoming famous for its music. The Boardman musicians went to Ione Saturday to play for the Chautauqua there. Those going were Walt Coohoon, Lela Hecker and Lyle Blayden. T.W. McKendall of the Merchants Protective association of Portland is here this week invoicing the Columbia Trading Company’s stock in order to make adjustments with the creditors and wind up the business of the old company. Meat Route for Boardman-The people on the Project are fortunate in having a meat man from Ione, who has established a route here, bringing fresh meat every Wednesday. The Boardman housewives hail him with delight since the hot weather came as so few of the farmers butcher at this time of the year. MEETING FOR CEMETERY The men folks held a meeting Saturday evening at the store concerning the matter of a cemetery. We hope a cemetery will not be needed for a long time but it is a necessary requirement in time of need.

It was voted to pay off the entire sum still due on the piano. After this there remains only a small note of $66 and when this is paid everything will be clear and the Ladies ‘ Aid can breathe freely – until they start sine new work. Mr. Latourelle, the Ford man of Heppner, was making a business trip here Thursday. Mr. and Mrs. W.P. Tucker and family and attorney Gavin were in Heppner Wednesday. T.E. Broyles, John Jenkins and H.H. Weston, O.H.Warner, Chas.Goodwin and Mrs. Ada Morrison were in Heppner Monday on legal business. No wonder our citizens are taking such a desire to visit Heppner. It is court week and the grand jury is in session. Mrs. Ada Morrison of Boardman was granted a divorce Tuesday from Norval S. Morrison, Upton, Wyo. June 24, 1921 LOCAL NOTES: C. Snivel’s dance in the Pastime last Saturday night proved so popular that he will hold another one tomorrow night and on each succeeding Saturday for the summer. Good music has been secured.

Boardman adopts 2016-2017 City and URA budgets th
During their June 7 meetings, the Boardman City Council adopted the 2016-2017 City budget of $31,631,419 and the Urban Renewal Agency adopted their 2016-2017 budget of $2,598,300. City property taxes will be levied at a rate of $4.2114 per $1000 of assessed valuation and $451,000 will be levied for bonded indebtedness, not subject to Measure 5 or Measure 50 limitations. City Finance Director, Thomas Kligel said the city will end the current fiscal year in a strong cash position. He said the city’s focus for 2016-2017 will be to support continued housing development started in the previous years, to increase activity in city road maintenance, and to be proactive in the continued development of the Urban Renewal District’s projected long-term capital projects. The 2016-2017 City Budget reflects a substantial increase in activity over the previous budget year, with significant revenues es-
timated in the building department from projected higher construction at the Port of Morrow and from the addition of an Oregon Community Block Grant the city will administer for the construction of a migrant Head Start school near the Castle Rock Apartments. Copies of the City and Urban Renewal Budgets may be obtained by contacting the city clerk. In other City business, Councilors voted to accept ownership of field house building proposed by resident Lisa Mittelsdorf, to be placed on city property. In addition, Councilors voted to declare three unused city vehicles as surplus. Councilors also passed two resolutions, as a condition for receiving Oregon’s Community Block Grant, which states the City of Boardman supports the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988. The next meeting of the Boardman City Council will be Tuesday, July 5, 2016 at 7:00pm.

In the midst of their grief they were somewhat oblivious to the realization many of the freedoms they had enjoyed growing up were disappearing. When their grandson (the son of their
