Boardman Community says their farewell to Ray and Carol Michael How do we say farewell to a couple who has meant so much to our community? Ray and Carol Michael have been integral components in the growth and wellbeing of Boardman for so long that it is hard to imagine they will no longer live here! Ray Michael was raised in Newberg, Oregon. He graduated from high school there before attending Portland State University (PS College, then) and then transferred to Oregon State University, where he graduated from the School of Pharmacy in 1964. He served a one year internship with Gresham Rexall Drugs as a condition of his license, then worked for Pay N Save Drugs for a total of 13 years in the Portland area. His brother and sister in law, Dr. John and Jacque Paige lived in Hermiston, so they visited often. Looking to have a business on his own, Ray partnered with the Paige’s and in October, 1978 opened his new building in Boardman. He added the hardware store in 2001. Ray and his wife, Mary raised their four children in Boardman. After Ray’s wife, Mary passed away in 1988, he eventually bought out his partners and continued in business on his own. Ray and Carol were married in 1992, and together they operated the store until it was sold (without the pharmacy) to the Richards in 2012. Carol was raised in Whittier, California. She attended Mt. San Antonio Community College, later transferring to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo where she graduated. She married, and the couple moved to the east coast, where her husband was in the National Security Agency. Later, they moved back to California, where they raised their three children. After her marriage ended, Carol went back to Cal Poly to earn her master’s degree in Consumer Education. She worked for a time in western Massachusetts, before accepting a job with
Oregon State College Extension Service in Morrow County in 1989. Through the years, Carol and Ray have been involved in most community affairs in Boardman. Ray served on Boardman City Council, Kiwanis Club of Boardman, Boardman Senior Center Board of Directors, and for 40 years as Director on Boardman Park & Recreation District board. Carol was instrumental in forming a 501(c)3 foundation, North Morrow Community Foundation, which is highly active in bringing artists and musicians to the Boardman and Irrigon Schools. She also has been active in the Morrow County Cultural Commission. When you walk along the paved walking path on the Columbia River, you can thank Carol Michael for the informational placards that tell us about Lewis & Clark and other historical news. Carol also has been active in the Boardman Quilt Group. During the years Carol has lived in Morrow County, she retained ownership of her house in San Luis Obispo, where her daughter lived while attending college and later. It is to that home Ray and Carol will retire, as they leave their Boardman home to a new family. Carol’s three grown children live in the San Luis Obispo area, with grandchildren and “five fine cats and a tortoise”, to visit. Carol says her children are all musical, so there are symphonies and jazz bands to attend. While Ray’s grown children are spread out to the TriCities, Broomfield, Colorado and Pendleton areas, Ray and Carol plan to visit them regularly. The Michaels will enjoy the weather in the San Luis Obispo area, as well as the many wineries, farmer’s markets, museums and other things to do, especially golf, for Ray! Happy retirement to the Michaels, and please return to Boardman often to visit us!

MCSD Plans Emergency Drill for April 13 BOARDMAN – On Friday, April 13, the Morrow County School District will conduct an Emergency Drill from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM at Boardman schools. All three schools — Sam Boardman Elementary, Windy River Elementary and Riverside Jr/Sr. High School — will be used during the drill. The Emergency Drill is being conducted in partnership with local law enforcement and emergency responders, including Boardman Police Department, Boardman Fire, Boardman Ambulance, Morrow County Sheriff’s Office and Oregon State Police. Local residents are advised that during the drill, it will seem like a real emergency is happening at the schools and law enforcement and emergency personnel will be traveling to and from the schools and be on site performing the work they would do in a true emergency. The purpose of the drill is to practice what would be done if an emergency situation occurs at a
school building, such as a natural disaster, a fire or gas leak or vio-
“reunified” with their children. According to Superintendent D i r k Dirksen, performing this type of drill is essential to prepare staff and students in following established procedures for various incidents that can occur. “We can have all the safety protocols we need in place in our schools, but if we don’t practice them, they will simply not be as effective as they could be,” Dirksen said. Friday, April 13 is a No School/ In-Service day in the Morrow County School District, offering an ideal time to conduct the drill. For any questions about the Emergency Drill, please contact the Morrow County School District office in Heppner at 541-676-9128.

The drill will include school staff, volunteer students, volunteers to portray parents and emergency personnel acting as if this is a real emergency. After the incident at the schools, staff and students will be bussed to a separate location, where the Reunification portion of the drill will take place. Reunification means when students are evacuated from their school building and bused to another location; parents are then asked to travel to the Reunification Location to be

Boardman City Council votes to extend development incentives The Boardman City Council voted on March 6, 2018 to extend development incentives which were due to expire June 30, 2018. In an effort to encourage new construction in Boardman, in January, the City Council passed a resolution that temporarily waives water and sewer System Development Charges (SDC’s) for a period of six months. The resolution waives the SDC’s on a sliding scale based upon the number of Equivalent Dwelling Units built. All property owners or developers of residential or commercial property within the City limits are eligible for the waivers. The waivers were extended to expire December 31, 2018. In other city business, councilors heard an update from the city’s engineer regarding the on-going water and sewer upgrades. The council also approved and intergovernmental agreement with Morrow County, and all other cities in Morrow County to hire a consultant to create a county-wide buildable lands inventory. The next Boardman City Council meeting will be Tuesday, May 1, 2018 at 7:00pm at Boardman City Hall.

The RV group Blue Mtn Sams worked at Boardman Marina on March 20th. They adopted the Park many years ago and show up annually to help with spring cleanup. The work they did included painting the pavilion, fish cleaning station and the petroglyph cover. They also raked leaves and other debris in the campground as well. They used the sweeper for the most heavily "debris" areas. Several of the guys mowed the campground for the first mowing of the year. Thanks to this group for their hard work in sprucing up the Park!

As part of their mission, Riverside FFA will use the funds to attend the Oregon State FFA Convention as well as upcoming FFA competitions. “We would like to thank Joe Taylor for this donation to our program. We are in the second year of our FFA program at Riverside and these funds will be a tremendous help in continuing to build the program,” said David Norton, Riverside principal.

Columbia River Pharmacy grand opening on April 7 just the beginning of exciting changes, promises CEO BOARDMAN, Ore. — Exciting changes are in store at Columbia River Health, promises CEO, Seth Whitmer, the first being a grand opening of the facility’s new pharmacy, to be held on April 7. Columbia River Pharmacy is located inside the local Harvest town Foods at 220 S. Main St. Boardman, OR. “With the opening of our pharmacy, we will provide our patients with tens of thousands of dollars per month in charity and discounted medications,” said Whitmer. More medical services and accessibility for the entire northern Oregon area are in store as Columbia River Health expands its hours, and adds additional healthcare staff to meet the needs of the community and extend the healthcare services they offer. Columbia River Health, formerly known as Columbia River Community Health Services (CRCHS), has had a name change. “In order to simplify things and help our community recognize who we are, we have changed our name to Columbia River Health (CRH),” said Whitmer. “We often found that people confused us with the local hospital district, when actually we
are completely different. None of your local tax dollars go towards supporting our clinic.” Additionally, the mission at Columbia River Health is to serve everyone in the community, including those who have insurance and those who do not, said Whitmer. Staff at Columbia River Health have also been working to adapt service schedules to create more immediate access for the community. “We want to make sure everyone has access to high quality care,” said Whitmer. “Columbia River Health has brought on skilled professionals to provide unprecedented high quality care to our community. We did this so that we could expand our hours, making ourselves available to the entire community Monday through Saturday.” The clinic is open Monday – Friday 7:30 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. and Saturdays 8:00 a.m. – 5 p.m., being more accessible for your scheduling needs. Starting spring 2019, CRH will soon offer include optometry and dental services. “We recognized the need for optometry services in our community with a high rate of amblyopia (lazy eye) among the children in

our community who had no access to optometry services,” said Whitmer. “We have hired an optometrist to care for these children while helping with plans to open a full optometry clinic available to the entire community. Additionally we recognized the large need of dental services, and we are planning to also open a new dental clinic.” While the pharmacy is currently open and accessible to the public, the grand opening is a perfect way for community members to get to know Columbia River Health. The April 7 grand opening of the Columbia River Pharmacy will include free food, discounts and prizes for community members who come to celebrate. Columbia River Health provides primary care, behavioral health, dental services, optometry, pediatric care, Chronic care management, and more. To schedule an appointment with a medical service provider at Columbia River Health, call (541) 481-7212. Both uninsured and insured patients are welcomed. Columbia River Health is located at 450 Tatone St, Boardman, Ore. 97818. For more information on Columbia River Health, go to www.crchs.net.

Tillamook gives generous donations to Morrow County schools BOARDMAN – The Tillamook County Creamery Association, producer of Tillamook Cheese, just made two generous donations to schools in the Morrow County School District. Tillamook has a production facility at the Port of Morrow in Boardman. The company donated more than $11,000 to Riverside Jr/Sr High School for the purchase of carpet tiles for the gym floor. These carpet tiles can be laid over the existing gym floor for events such as graduation. They will help prevent damage to the floor and provide a
formal-looking environment for these type of events. Windy River Elementary School received an $8,000 donation from Tillamook for the purchase of a classroom set of Chromebooks, as well as funds to support the school’s student leadership program. “Our Boardman schools greatly appreciate the partnership we have with Tillamook and the generous support they provide for our students,” said Brandon Hammond, principal of Windy River Elementary.

The program generates $ 0.05 per transaction performed with each school mascot card to that schools program and the annual renewal fee for each card ($10.00) also goes directly to the ASB. “This program is a great way for local fans to show support for their local school and demonstrates the Bank’s commitment to helping our local communities prosper through a robust activities program at every school. We encourage every-
one in the surrounding communities to sign up for a mascot card supporting their school… as you can see, five cents per transaction adds up!” said Gary Propheter, EVP & Chief Operations Officer.

BMCC News Blue Mountain Community College will convene a cohort of Data Center Technician students this summer but as there is more interest in the program than current class spots available, students must apply for the program. The first thing interested students should do: fill out the application to become a BMCC student. There’s a second application to the Data Center Technician program, but you must first become a BMCC student. (If you are already a BMCC student or have been in the last two years, skip tahis—but make sure your financial aid paperwork is up-to-
date!) It’s easy to do: go to bluecc.edu and click on “Get Started.” Once you’ve filled out the application, there are a few more steps to complete: · online new student orientation · financial aid — very important that you begin this process ASAP! Depending on your situation, It can sometimes take many weeks, so don’t wait! Fill out your FAFSA right away! · take placement tests—you will need these for the second part of the application (see below). After you sign up to be a BMCC student, there is a second application for the Data Center Techni-
cian program. We only have 20 spaces available in the program; to choose the students with the best chance of succeeding we will consider students’ placement score, prior academic performance (GPA, etc.), work experience, level of IT proficiency, and demonstrated work ethic. After you have signed up to be a BMCC student, I will email you the application for the Data Center Technician on Monday April 16th. The last day to apply is May 1st. Students with questions are welcome to contact the Workforce Training Center at 541-481-2099 for additional information.

Swimming pools, what you need to know before installing one A swimming pool is defined as any structure intended for swimming or recreational bathing that contains water over 24 inches deep. This includes both inground and above ground swimming pools, hot tubs, and spas (Oregon Residential Speciality Code; ORSC Sec. AG102). • A building permit is required to install a swimming pool unless it is prefabricated and the walls are entirely above adjacent grade. Whether a permit is required or not, the installation must meet the following code requirements that are intended tao provide protection against drownings and near drownings by restricting access to swimming pools, spas and hot tubs. • Any swimming pool not totally enclosed by a structure must be enclosed by a substantial barrier or fence at least four feet in height. The maximum vertical clearance between grade and the bottom of the barrier is two inches. Openings in the barrier shall not allow passage of a four-inch diameter sphere. • The barrier must be equipped with a self-closing and self-latch-
ing gate except where bordered by a wall of an adjacent structure at least four feet in height. Pedestrian access gates shall open outward,
away from the pool, be self-closing, and have a self-latching device. • Where the wall of a dwelling unit is used as a barrier, all doorways through the wall must be equipped with approved self-closing and self-latching devices or equipped with an approved power safety cover. • The location of an in-ground pool is not regulated by the zoning code, but property in an overlay zone or plan district may have alternative standards that apply. Setback and building coverage standards apply to above ground pools. For more information, con-
tact the city’s planning department at 541-481-9252. • Swimming pools must be set back from adjacent slopes steeper than 33 percent. The setback from descending slopes shall be at least H/6, but need not exceed 20 feet. The setback from ascending slopes shall be H/4, but need not exceed seven and a half feet. H is equal to the vertical height of the slope. • Any pool is required to have either a sand filtration system or cartridge filter system. The backwash from a sand filtration system must discharge to either the public sewer or to an onsite system approved by BDS, separate from the drain field. If you have questions about filtration for your pool, please contact the building department at 541-481-9252. • Prior to installing a swimming pool, we recommend that you check with your homeowner’s insurance company to determine what liability you may assume as a result of the installation. • An electrical permit is required for a swimming pool.
