Kiwanis event Rollin on the River enjoys another success Rollin on the River 2013 was a huge success according to committee members: Mindy Binder, Deanne Irving, Michelle Erickson, Pam Docken, Sandy Toms, John Boufford and Rose Corral. The bands offered a good variety of wonderful tunes; the beer was cold; the wine was yummy; Mother Nature cooperated; the food by Quality Concessions from Heppner was exceptional; and the car show had 44 entries this year. Ranch and Home generously donated a Gun safe for the Kiwanis
to raffle this year, which was won by Andy Schlupe, Jr. New, also this year, was the “NAME OUR LOGO” contest which was won by Cindy Burright with “Rockin’ Rolland”. The participation from the community was wonderful to see and everyone enjoyed the a new addition this year, a real dance floor. The Boardman Kiwanis have hopes this annual event will continue to grow to a point that they will be self-sustaining of the programs they provide annually for the children of our local communities. Sandy Toms presents “PEOPLE’S CHOICE MOTORCYLE” to Kevin Taylor from Boardman with a blue 2004 Harley Davidson Fat Boy.

News Release from Oregon Health Authority says limit consumption of some fish species near Bonneville Dam, middle Columbia River Sept. 23, 2013 Salmon, steelhead, American shad are NOT affected by advisories extending to McNary Dam. Fish are an important part of a healthy diet, especially migratory fish like salmon. However, Oregon and Washington health officials are issuing fish consumption advisories for certain species from two sections of the Columbia River due to elevated levels of mercury and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) found in fish tissue. Together, the two advisories, jointly issued today by the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) and the Washington Department of Health (WA Health), extend from Bonneville Dam 150 miles upstream to McNary Dam. Public health officials do not know how long the advisories will last. The reason for the advisories is that mercury and PCBs can build up in resident fish (that live in one place their entire life) such as bass, bluegill, yellow perch, crappie, walleye, carp, catfish, suckers and sturgeon that stay in the area and are exposed over their lifecycles. People who eat too much contaminated fish can suffer negative health effects over time such as damage to organs, the nervous system and reproductive system. The advisories do not affect migratory (traveling) fish species such as salmon, steelhead, American shad and lamprey, which should remain part of a healthy diet. The advisories are as follows: * Bonneville Dam - OHA and WA Health recommend no consumption of any resident fish species taken from Bonneville Dam to Ruckel Creek, one mile upstream from Bonneville Dam. * Middle Columbia River - OHA and WA Health recommend eating no more than one meal per week four meals per month - of any resident fish species taken from the river between Ruckel Creek and McNary Dam, a roughly 150-mile stretch of the river. A meal is about the size and
thickness of your hand. Unborn fetuses, nursing babies and small children are most vulnerable to the health effects of PCBs and mercury, so it is especially important that pregnant and nursing women follow this advice. Fetuses and babies exposed to high levels of mercury and PCBs can suffer lifelong learning and behavior problems. The state health agencies recommend all women of childbearing age (18 to 45) follow fish advisories. Anglers also should not give resident fish caught from the middle Columbia River to others unless the recipients are aware of where the fish were caught, and they understand the recommendations in these fish advisories. Washington already has a statewide fish advisory that warns women of childbearing age to not eat Northern Pikeminnow (which are found in the Columbia River) and advises them to limit largemouth and smallmouth bass consumption (based on harvest location) due to elevated mercury levels. By issuing these advisories, health officials hope to increase the public’s awareness of fish species they should avoid or limit consumption of, and those they can keep eating. While it is important for people to know about contaminants in fish, it is equally important to keep fish on the table. Health officials from both states continue to encourage people, including pregnant women, to eat a variety of fish as part of a healthy diet. Migratory fish such as salmon and steelhead are an essential source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids and other nutrients, and are low in contaminants. “Our iconic salmon, steelhead and other migratory fish are fine,” says toxicologist David Farrer, Ph.D., of OHA’s Public Health Division. “People still need to eat at least two meals of fish per week. We just want people to pay attention to these advisories and continue to eat migratory fish from these stretches of the river.”

First mosquitoes with West Nile virus detected in Morrow County West Nile virus, a mild flu-like disease spread by mosquitoes, has been reported to have been found in one testing site in Morrow County Oregon, according to Oregon Public Health officials. One site was found in rural Irrigon, Oregon. Health officials are advising people in Morrow County to take precautions against mosquitoes in order to avoid the risk of infection. We want people in that area to be especially careful to avoid getting mosquito bites. “The risk of contracting West Nile virus may be low, but we do encourage people to take appropriate precautions to protect themselves against mosquito bites,” said Greg Barron, Manager of North Morrow Vector Control District. “We will continue to increase our mosquito control operations utilizing our Ultra Low Volume (ULV) truck mounted sprayers to reduce adult mosquito populations,” Barron said. Dr. Emilio DeBess, public health veterinarian 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 swimming 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 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 symptoms, such as fever, headaches and nausea lasting from three to six days. In a few cases, more severe symptoms (more) occur including convulsions or disorientation. The central nervous system also may
be affected, resulting in a headache associated with fever, aseptic meningitis or encephalitis. Consult your health care provider if you have these symptoms. Health Care Providers may contact the Morrow County Health Department for information on West Nile virus testing services that the Oregon Public Health Lab offers. Additional information about West Nile virus is available at: Oregon Health Authority website http://public.health.oregon.gov/ DiseasesConditions/DiseasesAZ/ WestNileVirus/Pages/survey.aspx U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/ dvbid/westnile/ index.htm Oregon Department of Human Services http://oregon.gov/DHS/ph/acd/ diseases/wnile/survey.shtml Morrow County Health Department http://www.oregon.gov/DHS/ph/ lhd/county_directories/ Morrow.pdf Morrow County http://morrowcountyoregon.com/ North Morrow Vector Control District http://nmvcdmosquito.org

SMART program seeking volunteer readers
The third grade reading level is widely recognized as a key indicator of a child’s future educational success. A student who cannot read on grade level by third grade is four times less likely to graduate by age 19 than a child who does read proficiently in third grade. In 2011, more than 7,140 Oregon third graders were reading below benchmark levels. Each week during the school year, a group of volunteers spend an hour weekly providing one-on-one attention, reading support and encouragement to local children. That small bit of time can make a big difference in children’s lives. This is what the SMART program is all about! In an effort to provide critical early literacy support, SMART offers a prekindergarten delivery model that serves the entire prekindergarten classroom. Students read one-onone with volunteers in 15- or 20minute sessions. Each volunteer reads with three or four students per hour. Students choose two books per month to take home. Prekindergarten SMART is scheduled as part of the curriculum. Students are divided into three or four groups and rotate every 15 or 20 minutes, depending on the site’s preference. As one group reads with SMART volunteers, the other groups can be engaged in other classroom activities. “We run the SMART program for our preschool children that will be going into kindergarten. This is a wonderful opportunity for the children to get a jump start on reading, to see how a story works and to work on word recognition. This is a fantastic program for us,” relates an educator at the UMCA in Tillamook. Can you spare an hour each week on Wednesdays, from 12:15 to 1:15 pm to read to students? To learn more, contact Umatilla-Morrow Head Start, Inc., (541) 564-6878.

Six steps to a beautiful landscape next season by gardening expert Melinda Myers Don’t let a busy schedule stop you from creating a beautiful landscape. Incorporate a few of these changes in your fall landscape care. You’ll create beautiful results with a limited investment of time and effort. · Cut the grass, recycle fall leaves, and improve the soil with a pass of the lawn mower. Shred leaves and leave them on the lawn as you mow this fall. As long as you can see the grass through the leaf pieces, the lawn will be fine. As the leaves break down they add organic matter to the soil, improving drainage in clay soil and water holding ability in sandy soils. Or, as an alternative, use excess leaves as a soil mulch. Shred the leaves with your mower and spread a layer over the soil to conserve moisture and insulate the roots of perennials. Fall mulching gives you a jump on next spring’s landscape chores. · Improve your lawn’s health by fertilizing this fall with a low nitrogen slow release fertilizer, like Milorganite. You’ll reduce the risk of disease problems and with slower weed growth in fall, your lawn, not the weeds, will benefit from the nutrients. Fall fertilization also helps lawns recover from the stresses of summer by encouraging deep roots and denser growth that can better compete with weeds and tolerate disease and insects. Northern gardeners can follow the holiday schedule and fertilize Labor Day and Halloween. Southern gardeners should make their last fall fertilization at least 30 days before the lawn goes dormant or the average first killing frost to avoid winter kill. · Do a bit of planting. Cool season annuals brighten up the fall garden and, for those in warmer regions, the winter garden. Consider adding cold hardy pansies. They provide color in the fall garden, survive most winters, and are back blooming in the spring just as the snow melts. Fall is also a good time to plant perennials, trees and shrubs. The soil is warm and the air cooler, so
the plants are less stressed and establish more quickly. Select plants suited to the growing conditions and be sure to give them plenty of room to reach their mature size. · Plant daffodils, tulips, hyacinths and other bulbs in fall for extra color next spring. Set the bulbs at a depth of two to three times their height deep. Then cover them with soil and sprinkle on a low nitrogen slow release fertilizer. This type of fertilizer promotes rooting without stimulating fall growth subject to winter kill. Base your bulb planting time on the weather not the calendar. Start planting after the night-time temperatures hover between 40 and 50 degrees. Be patient, waiting until the soil cools reduces the risk of early sprouting that often occurs during a warm fall. Those gardening in the far south and along the gulf coast can purchase pre-cooled bulbs to compensate for the warm winters. Or the chilling can be done at home by storing the bulbs in a 35 to 45 degree location for at least 14 weeks before planting. · Leave healthy perennials stand for winter. This increases hardiness and adds beauty to the winter landscape with their seed heads, dried foliage and the birds they attract. Plus, it will delay cleanup until spring when gardeners are anxious to get outdoors and start gardening. However, be sure to remove any diseased or insect-infested plants to reduce the source of pest problems in next year’s garden. · Start composting or add shredded leaves and other plant debris to an existing compost pile. Combine fall leaves with other plant waste, a bit of soil or compost, and sprinkle with fertilizer to create compost. Recycling yard waste saves time bagging, hauling and disposing of green debris. You also reduce or eliminate the need to buy soil amendments to improve your existing garden soil. Incorporate one or all six of these practices to increase the health and beauty of your landscape now and for years to come.

United Way kicks off Fall Campaign “I see how much United Way funding helps in our community and in our county, but I think it’s one of our best kept secrets “ said Sheryll Bates, executive director of Heppner Chamber of Commerce. “ “The United Way of Umatilla & Morrow Counties’ sole purpose is to help local non-profit organizations have the support they need to provide the valuable programs and services that help kids be successful, seniors and disabled folks live independently, and families and individuals get the help they need to get back on their feet and be self-sufficient” reported Stan Toms, President of Boardman Seniors, Inc. The 2012 United Way Campaign resulted in $14,250 in funding to three Morrow County based organizations (South Morrow
County Neighborhood Center, Boardman Seniors, Inc., and Irrigon-Boardman Assistance Center). An additional $40,530 was awarded to organizations based in Umatilla County who provide services in both Morrow and Umatilla Counties (Red Cross, Domestic Violence Services, RSVP, Meadowood Speech & Hearing, Tonya’s House, and Clearview Disability Resource Center.) United Way hopes to recruit more community partners in Morrow County this year. Last year $10,654 was raised in Morrow County. The United Way board and staff hope to increase giving in Morrow County this year by getting more small businesses and a higher number of individual donors involved. “Giving through United Way is
easy and very effective if you want to make a real impact on your community” stated Karen HutchinsonTalaski, United Way Board Chair. “United Way’s mission of ‘Increasing the capacity of our communities to care for others’ is fulfilled by coordinating employee giving campaigns in workplaces and through contributions from individuals.” To get involved in the 2013 United Way giving campaign, contact the office at 541-276-2661 or unitedwayumco@eoni.com to receive materials for your workplace or for you as an individual. Donations can be sent to: United Way U & M, P. O. Box 1225 Pendleton, OR 97801 and can be earmarked for a specific program or service if the donor wishes.

AARP announces public forums on the future of Medicare and social security CLACKAMAS, OR — You’ve Earned a Say in the future of Medicare and Social Security and we want to hear from you! AARP is taking the debate about the future of Medicare and Social Security out from behind closed doors in Washington so you can have a voice. You’ve worked too hard to let those elected to office in Washington decide the future of Medicare and Social Security without hearing from you. AARP Oregon is hosting public forums calling attention to harmful cuts to Social Security and Medicare being discussed in Washington, D.C. The sessions identify the need for a national debate on the future of Social Security and outlines solutions for reducing costs in Medicare and the health care system. The forums feature a formal presentation followed by Q&A. Registration is requested – either online or call toll-free 1-877-9268300: 10/24 /8:00 AM – 9:30 AM / Oxford Suits/http://bit.ly/
YEaSPendleton 10/24 /12:30 PM – 2:00 PM /La Grande Public Library/http://bit.ly/ YEaSLaGrande AARP is working for responsible solutions that will secure Social Security and Medicare for future generations and keep promises to current seniors. The member organization for people age 50+ is calling for a separate debate about Social Security solvency apart from discussions about deficit reduction. Accordingly, AARP opposes the so-called “chained CPI,” which would cost Oregon seniors and veterans thousands of dollars over their lifetimes. Proposed cuts to Medicare would have an even greater impact on older Oregon residents. “Our members are tired of hearing that the only way to put Medicare on stable ground is to cut benefits or force seniors to pay more,” said AARP Oregon State Director, Jerry Cohen. “We believe Washington can reduce costs in Medicare and
throughout the health care system by clamping down on drug companies’ high prices, improving coordination of care and use of technology, and cutting out over-testing, waste and fraud.” Medicare provides guaranteed, affordable health coverage to over 670,000 Oregon residents – 16 percent of our population. Yet the program faces a number of challenges in the coming years because of rising health care costs and changing demographics. AARP believes there’s a better way to address these challenges than cutting benefits or forcing seniors to pay more – beginning with responsible solutions that will improve care, reduce costs, and find real savings for taxpayers. The community conversations follow a discussion format. They will be led by AARP volunteers who are trained in the issues and familiar with the changes being proposed to Social Security and Medicare – but they are not experts.

Letter to Editor Letter to the Editor Blue Mountain Community College is asking voters in Umatilla and Morrow Counties to approve a bond measure that will replace the current 15 year bond that expires next year. Since the new bond is essentially a renewal of the current bond, the tax rate will not change. With the additional resources provided by this bond, Blue Mountain Community College can do so much more to provide needed workforce education and training. If approved, the bond will allow the College to provide facilities that will enhance the ability to provide education and training for additional job development in Umatilla and Morrow counties. The college will construct three new buildings to house new workforce training programs that local and regional employers have requested. · An Applied Animal Science Education Center in Pendleton · A Center for Sustainable Precision Irrigated Agriculture in Hermiston · An Industrial Processes Workforce Center in Boardman that will allow for more advanced education in science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math. The bond will also pay for needed repairs and improvements to the Bob Clapp Theatre , the college swimming pool and other college facilities. It will allow for updated technology , computer infrastructure, and enhance instructional delivery systems at all BMCC campuses. Please join us in voting YES for the Blue Mountain Community College Bond (Ballot #30-96) on November 5, 2013. Ed and Terri Taber 541-310-0507
To the Editor, As a member of the Friends of Blue Mountain Community College Bond Election Committee, I encourage the voters of Umatilla and Morrow counties to vote yes on BMCC’s bond renewal, Measure 30-96, on the November 5 ballot. This $28.1 million capital improvement bond will replace the current bond, which expires in June 2014, at the same tax rate—only $0.31 per $1,000 assessed property value—that voters have been paying for 14 years. BMCC plays a key role in our region’s economy, workforce development, and quality of life. With no rate increase, the new 15year bond will serve students, taxpayers, and the region well. BMCC will construct facilities in Boardman, Hermiston, and Pendleton for three exciting, new workforce training programs requested by area employers. BMCC also will invest in capital improvements to existing college buildings that will both improve instruction and generate cost savings and operational efficiencies. For more information, please visit our committee’s Website, http:// yesbluemountainccbond.com; our Facebook page, https:// www.facebook.com/BMCCFriends; and the college Website, https:// www.bluecc.edu. Please join me in voting yes on Measure 30-96! Susan E. Plass Pendleton Send your COMMUNITY FOCUS AND LETTERS TO THE EDITOR to: North Morrow Times, P.O.
