GO Bond for Boardman Rec Center to be on Nov. ballot
The artist’s rendering (above) shows what the front of the Recreation Center will look like. The 50,000 sq. ft. structure will be located adjacent to the SAGE Center. Boardman Park & Recreation District (BPRD) President Karen Pettigrew announced the district has placed a general obligation bond in the amount of $12.390 million on the November 4, 2014 ballot for voter approval. The money raised by the bond will fund the purchase of six acres of land adjacent to the SAGE Center for the construction of Boardman Community Recreation Center. When complete, the approximately 50,000
square foot, 2-story structure is expected to include a 25 meter, 6-lane indoor swimming pool with slide and waves, a warm water therapy pool, gymnasium & bleachers with 2 basketball courts, a climbing wall, fitness center with equipment, aerobic room, year round indoor walking track, a multipurpose community room, lockers, concessions and storage. The project is the culmination of over 25 years of dreams, hopes and plans.
“Boardman has long awaited a swimming pool and recreation center to enhance the livability of the Boardman community. Boardman Park & Recreation District conducted community surveys, employer interviews and a comprehensive market analysis to determine that the new construction of a recreation center would meet the needs of our growing community, promote community growth and benefit the health of Boardman’s
residents. The Park District is pleased to bring this center before the voters, and are looking for your support,” says Pettigrew. The Park invites the public for a Kick-Off Celebration on Monday, September 8th from 5:30 – 7:30 pm at the Harold Baker Pavilion in Boardman Marina Park. Free hot dogs, chips, soda and ice cream will be served. The Park asks that the public come learn more about this exciting project and how you can
help make it happen! Boardman Park & Recreation District was formed in a special election in July, 1966 and encompasses a northern portion of Morrow County. Their permanent tax rate of $0.2989 per $1,000 has provided development of a marina with public and rental boat docks, softball and soccer fields, horseshoe pits, a basketball court, campground and miles of popular, paved walking trails along the Columbia River.

Certified Ombudsman Volunteer Training to be held in Hermiston this fall
Training to become a Certified Ombudsman Volunteer will begin September 17 in Hermiston. These volunteers advocate for seniors who are living in long term care facilities and are trained to educate, investigate, and advocate for the rights of the resident and learn to be a “problem solver”. They often are the first to spot and report elder abuse but also can resolve many quality of care issues independently to meet the rights and desires of the resident. In order to be accepted into the five-day training program, those wishing to apply should do so no later than September 5, 2014. Travel expenses can be reimbursed. The Office of the Long-Term Care Ombudsman is an independent ‘watchdog’ agency of the State of Oregon, dedicated to protecting the rights, safety and dignity of the residents of nursing homes, residential care facilities, assisted living facilities and adult foster care homes. To report a concern about a long-term care facility, call 1-800-522-2602, visit www.oregon.gov/LTCO or email us at LTCO.contact@ltco.state.or.us. To apply, visit www.oregon.gov/ LTCO to download an application or contact Gretchen Jordan, Coordinator of Volunteers at 1-800-522-2602.

Boardman Buzzzzzzzz Greetings Boardman, I’m not sure when reflection is a good thing but I thought I would share some history about our Boardman Chamber. I also know some of our long time residents might have a slightly different version so here’s what I can remember since arriving in Boardman in 1986. Prior to February of 1998 we did not have a Chamber Director, a building or an office but we did have a phone with an answering machine, P.O. Box #1 and a community of volunteers. So do you remember our first Chamber Director? None other than Carol Michael in 1998 who with the cooperation of so many but especially with the intergovernmental agreement with the City of Boardman the Boardman Park and Recreation District for locating us at 206 N. Main Street the old police department. With the help of Tony Chavez (Chamber President) we got a desk, filing cabinet, and brochure racks from UEC, a computer from The North Morrow Times, a printer from Boardman Park and Recreation. And so it begins..... 16 years later we’ve had 5 wonderful Directors, stable funding, a beautiful office location at the SAGE Center with the support from the Port of Morrow, 2 and a half employees a Beautiful retail Store and over 180 members. Some things do take time to grow but I think we can all be proud of the strides we have made including a New Middle School, a beautiful new Medical Facility, New City Hall, Police Dept, Pharmacy, Banks, Restaurants, walking trails an amazing park, Marina and so much more.

City applies for ODOT Special City Port gets $6m grant for warehouse, rail project Allotment Connect Oregon V grant provides alDuring their August 5, 2014 council meeting, Boardman City Councilors approved application to the Oregon Department of Transportation for a Special City Allotment. Boardman applied for construction of curbs and sidewalks for a future construction of a street which will be located between Faler Road and Chaparell Drive.
These Special City Allotments total $1,000,000.00 in funds dispersed by the Department of Transportation to cities with a population of 5,000 or less. Forty six small cities qualify for the allotments and are to be used for street projects, not a part of the state highway system, that are inadequate,or are in a condition
detrimental to safety. Each allotment will be for $50,000.00 and will be dispersed for the 2015-2016 fiscal year. In other city business, the city sold a parcel of land, located near the city’s waste water lagoons to Umatilla Electric for a radio tower. The $131,000.00 is earmarked for the new splash pad park project.
most half the funding for rail spur and cold storage facility BOARDMAN, Ore. (Aug. 22, 2014) – The Oregon Transportation Commission approved a $6 million grant for a new cold storage rail transload facility at the Port of Morrow Friday during its meeting in Ontario. The port will provide an $8 million match with the sale of port revenue bonds and the ConnectOregon funds will make up the remaining cost for the $14 million facility, which is expected to begin operations in Spring 2015. Specifications include a 2,500foot rail spur with switches, and 100,000 square feet of warehouse space. The cold storage facility – in the port’s East Beach Industrial Park – will have 75,000 square feet of frozen space and 25,000 square feet of refrigerated space. Port of Morrow General Manager Gary Neal said the facility will be a public warehouse that is owned and operated by the port. The facility manager has been hired and will bring on an additional 25 employees, all of which will be Port of Morrow staff. Construction plans include paved truck access, lighting, and fencing. “Cold storage space at the Port of Morrow is a critical part of the port’s infrastructure to utilize the intermodal transportation benefits of the port’s strategic location,” Neal said. “This new facility at the port and the interconnection to all modes of transportation was the reason Connect Oregon was conceived and implemented by the Oregon legislature.” The commission approved 36
out of the 37 recommended projects. According to the Oregon Department of Transportation, ConnectOregon focuses on improving connections and supporting local economies throughout the state. The Oregon legislature first approved ConnectOregon in 2005. The region’s food processing industry, including many businesses in the port’s industrial park, will be able to take advantage of the warehousing capacity to assist them in freezing and distributing products across the United States via the railroad, highways, and barging to export terminals in Portland. “With increased growth in our region’s agricultural industry, the need for this facility has reached the level where the port has determined this to be its highest priority in our strategic investment plans to address these needs,” Neal said. For more information on ConnectOregon, visit the ConnectOregon website: http:// www.oregon.gov/ODOT/TD/TP/ pages/connector.aspx. About the Port of Morrow: The Port of Morrow was established 1959 and has since grown to be the second-largest port in Oregon. The port owns 12,000 acres of industrial land with the mission to maintain a positive business environment, develop freshwater resources, provide and expand utility services, expand its role as a regional transportation hub, and enhance the community.

Boardman Fire District asks approval of GO Bond Fire Department history Boardman Rural Fire Protection District was formed in the early 1970’s to provide fire protection for the residents living outside the City of Boardman, and they built the current fire station located on Wilson Lane. The 1970 Census

Accessing Wilson Lane has become increasingly difficult with Sam Boardman Elementary and Windy River School and the subsequent traffic. What’s the solution? Boardman Rural Fire Protection District is proposing a General
shows Boardman with a population of 192. As the community grew, the increased need of fire protection became the focus of the Fire District and the City of Boardman. In 1998, the City of Boardman and the Fire District voted to form a single unified entity to provide fire protection: Boardman Rural Fire Protection District. Current Fire Chief Marc Rogelstad was hired at that time to manage the District. From 1970 to the year 2000, Boardman grew to a population of 2,855. The 2010 Census reports the population of the City of Boardman as 3,220. How has the Fire District grown? During the past 15 years, the Fire District has grown to include areas both to the east and west of the City. This expansion has increased the size of the coverage area to 330 square miles. Why the growth? Through the years, the Fire District had responded to calls for help outside of the district, responding to those in need. Eventually, the District felt that if the unprotected areas wanted fire protection, then they should join the Fire District and pay taxes to sup-
approximately 210 million Dollars. As of the 2013-14 tax year, the value of the Fire District was $1,211,966,147. That’s an increase of over 1 billion dollars over the past 15 years! In the 1970’s there were two factories in Boardman: Oregon Potato and Lamb-Weston. Today? There are over two dozen industries and counting: OPI; ConAgra; West Plant; East Plant; Morrow Cold Storage; Coyote Springs PGE; Transloads (3); Calbee Foods; Boardman Foods; Treadit Tire; Reclaim; Pacific Ethanol; Tillamook CRP; Northwest Containers; 6 PDX sites; Planer Mill; Cascade Specialties; Wilbur Ellis; Oregon Hay; Dodge Logging; ZeaCham; PGG (formerly Cargill); Tidewater; and Transfer Stations. How bad is the present facility? The Wilson Lane Fire hall was constructed in the 1970’s and remodeled in 1999 for a town of 1,500 people. It does not meet seismic criteria, is deficient in ADA compliance and other repairs are needed. There is no room on that lot to expand, which means that training is often done on vacant streets or lots with permission.
Obligation Bond not exceeding $13.715 million for a new Emergency Services Station. Voters within the Boardman Rural Fire Protection District will have the opportunity to vote on this in the November 4th election. If approved, this GO Bond will furnish the money to purchase land, construct and equip a new fire station and training facility on the corner of Olsen Street and Columbia Avenue. The station will include housing for 24-hour firefighter staff, emergency medical technician (EMT) staff, and students enrolled in the Educational Sleeper Program, who would supplement volunteers to reduce response times and increase staffing resources available. This facility will be good for 50 years! Until 1998, the District was entirely run by volunteers. Over the years a healthy roster filled trucks for emergencies with some responders having to wait at the station. That has dramatically changed. Currently the number of
volunteers is at the lowest since 1998. This is due in large part to the rigors of state and national training requirements. Limited time makes volunteering an even more difficult choice. Factories run continuously, therefore employees are rarely allowed to leave their shift to respond to a call for volunteer service. In 2008 the District received a SAFER fire grant that helped hire four paid duty crew firefighters. The District has been able to retain these positions after the funding from the grant concluded in 2013. This means that the hall is currently staffed seven days per week from 8:00 to 5:00. After 5:00 pm and on weekends if there is a “call out”, the staff who show up receive “comp time” for their unpaid fire call and hopefully, additional volunteers show up for the event. The new facility would have an additional two paid staff members plus up to six student volunteers per shift. Currently, emergency events are often met at a minimum level. Volunteers are necessary for meeting the staffing requirements. In 1998, there were 98 fire responses; in 2013 there were 242 responses. Currently in 2014 they are exceeding
dents would have a choice to stay in the area in a chosen career (firefighting, emergency medical services, nursing, healthcare) while providing services to friends and family. The students taking the Fire Science courses would be performing a first responder duty in exchange for education and housing at the new fire station. What else will be in the new facility? The new station will be a multi-use building, and is designed for local law enforcement services with offices for the Morrow County Sheriff and emergency medical service accommodations and emergency operations center. The facility is large enough to allow conferences for area, state and national trainings. Who pays for a GO Bond? Industry and business who have an Enterprise Zone tax exemption WILL pay on this bond measure. Anticipated cost to property tax payers would be 47 cents per $1,000 assessed value, which would be reduced as the District continues to grow. Since the majority of the assessed value in the district is comprised of businesses located in the Port
the previous year run numbers. What kind of training will there be at the new facility? The District currently has begun the second year of a high school program with Riverside Jr/ Sr High school and Oregon Trail Fire Training Association. The new station will house college students who seek a Fire Science Degree through Blue Mt. Community College with classroom and training facilities on site. High school stu-

The public is invited to stop by the fire hall at 300 SW Wilson Lane from 8 - 5 daily to visit with staff and take a close look at the architect’s floor plans and renderings. You are also invited to vote YES on your November 4th ballot so your local fire protection can take the next step into the future!

Letter to the Editor Just spittin’ and whistlin’ With the lazy-daisy-days of summer upon us and with harvest about over and school about to begin its annual door opening, strange thoughts pass through my mind. Our kids have graduated from the various high schools, on to college and leaving our small community forever…this after their families have invested life savings to pay for mind-boggling tuition fees to four-year colleges. Just doesn’t seem right, somehow. In some ways, this is a good thing for those who can afford it, but for those who cannot afford it, it rapidly becomes a gigantic problem. I am pretty sure that sending our kids to a college or university is a top priority in most family want lists. So how can families solve the high cost of college tuition?
I got to thinking about the answer to this question. One answer lies in our own backyard. It is called Blue Mountain Community College, a two-year institution for an associate degree or two years of basic instruction to carry on to any four-year college or university. Think of it. Two years of college at BMCC at literally half the cost of any four-year institution. Further, specialty departments within BMCC are tailored to our very own communities for job growth. Another thought I had was how to develop jobs for our graduating seniors and keep them in our own communities. Take, for instance, the Port of Morrow. This Port district has brought into our area world-class industry and commerce second only to the Portland area. These companies and institutions
such as ConAgra and Tillamook Cheese and Food Processing right now are recruiting young, eager students who have good work ethics. BMCC in our own backyard has the capability of working closely with these companies to tailor classes that meet the needs of these companies. So, after thinking of this, it came to me that we can “have our cake and eat it, too.” Simple—the combination of Blue Mountain Community College, a “good old country work force” and the tremendous industry job recruitment in process at the Port of Morrow offers a no-brainer solution to jobs, affordable education and stabilizing our communities. What do you think about this? Just spittin’ and whistlin’ for something to do. Louie Carlson, Heppner

Boardman to install new school zone signs at elementary schools The Boardman Public Works Department will be installing flashing school zone lights in the elementary school zone, located on West Wilson Lane. Both Sam Boardman Elementary Schooal and Windy River Elementary School are located within that zone. The signs replace the old school zone signs which indicate motorists should drive 20 mph during the hours of 7am to 5pm. The new flashing lights and signage will indicate motorists should drive

Three additional mosquito samples 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 two testing sites in Morrow County Oregon, according to Oregon Public Health officials. The mosquitoes were collected on the night of 8-18-14 near Boardman, 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 and possibly some spraying by helicopter 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 http:// website 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 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

Letter to the Editor Letter to the Editor: Re: Oregon DSL denies Boardman Coal Terminal Thank you Mary Abrams and Governor Kitzhaber for respecting the Yakimas, the Nez Perce, the Umatillas, and the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. At a meeting in Washougal last week, a representative of the Columbia River Intertribal Fish Commission said nothing has upset the tribes more than the proposed coal and oil shipments. In 1983, Republican Governor John Spellman of Washington said, as long as I am Governor, there will be no pipeline under Puget Sound. Now there still is none.
Immoral nineteenth-century attitudes remain dominant in the coal and oil industry. Jobs for the few, profits for the fewer, and harm to all. Not only must the Boardman project be denied, but so should Global Partners’ oil terminal expansion proposal in Clatskanie. Furthermore public money should not be used to improve their rail lines and the docks. No more subsidies for dangerous oil. Don Steinke 360-892-1589 4833 NE 238 Ave Vancouver, WA 98682

Morrow County School District taps into savings through energyefficiency upgrades Improves learning environment for students with Energy Trust of Oregon support Heppner, Ore. — August 20, 2014 — Morrow County School District announced it will save an estimated $20,965 per yeara through energyefficiency upgrades recently completed at two of its schools. With expertise and cash incentives from Energy Trust of Oregon, the school district implemented an HVAC Direct Digital Control tuneup to improve two academic buildings in the district, lower overall energy use and reduce the district’s direct operating expenses. Energy Trust provided energy analysis through Ameresco Quantum, the vendor for the technical study and has studies underway for four more academic buildings in the district. The completed study identified issues within the school district’s HVAC system, both in control settings and improperly functioning equipment. Siemens performed the HVAC tune-up and equipment replacement. The project has an estimated payback period of less than two months, when combined with the cash incentives provided by Energy Trust, and annual savings of $20,965 in energy costs. Morrow County School District expects to save 14,093 therms of natural gas each year — energy equal to heating 28 homes for a year. “As we continue to see expenditures increase, from textbooks to electricity, it’s tremendously important to save every penny,” said Dirk Dirksen, superintendent, Morrow
County School District. “Working with vendors and Energy Trust to receive cash incentives for the energy-efficiency upgrades provided us with a cost-effective way to reduce installation costs now and save on energy and energy costs for years to come. We realize the direct benefit this will have on students in enhancing their learning environment.” Morrow County School District is also looking into implementing more energy-efficiency projects in the classroom environment of four of the district’s schools. “Without the help of independent nonprofits such as Energy Trust, to provide both the expertise and the savings opportunities, projects like these would not be possible in our rural area school district,” added Dirksen. “We look forward to working with Energy Trust in the future to identify and implement more energy-saving opportunities for our schools.” “Energy Trust supported more than 180 schools with nearly $1 million in cash incentives and technical assistance for energy-efficiency projects installed last year,” said Oliver Kesting, commercial sector lead, Energy Trust. “We’re pleased to be helping schools reduce energy costs so they can invest those dollars in the classroom.” Since 2002, Energy Trust has provided $6.5 million in cash incentives to help Oregon k-12 schools make energy-efficiency
improvements. Morrow County schools, in partnership with families and communities, provide each student the opportunity to develop values, knowledge, skills and self-confidence to become life-long learners and responsible citizens. Morrow County School District does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, sexual orientation, disability, marital status, age, gender, veteran status, or genetic profiling in providing employment, education or access to education services, activities and programs in accordance with Title II, Title VI, Title IX and other civil rights and discrimination issues; Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as amended; and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Energy Trust of Oregon is an independent nonprofit organization dedicated to helping utility customers benefit from saving energy and generating renewable power.
