PENDLETON, Ore. – Country music superstar Gary Allan will kick off the Pendleton Round-Up and Happy Canyon week when he takes the stage in the Happy Canyon Arena on Sept. 9. Tickets go on sale Monday, May 1. Allan is known for hit No. 1 singles “Man to Man,” “Nothing On But the Radio,” “Watching Airplanes,” and “Tough Little Boys.” He mixes honky-tonk bravado with grainy isolation across his eight studio albums, seven of which reached gold status and three of them were certified platinum. His latest album – “Set You Free” – features the hit single “Every Storm Runs Out of Rain.” While Allan has always had a gritty, gravelly edge to his perfor-
mances, he pushes himself on “Set You Free,” singing with more command, authority and pliability than he has in years. The album, sequenced with a storyline in which a man breaks the restraints of a failed relationship and conquers the loneliness of its aftermath, is the result of Allan’s own journey as a man and as an artist. Happy Canyon President Corey Neistadt said he’s excited to bring Allan to Pendleton and for fans to have an opportunity to see the star in the Happy Canyon Arena. “Having Gary Allan hit the stage is a fantastic way to kick off RoundUp week,” Neistadt said. “We know he’ll really enjoy the intimate setting of the Happy Canyon Arena that brings stars so close to their
Gary Allen, country music star to perform at Pendleton Sept 9 fans.” Tickets go on sale Monday, May 1, at 9 a.m. and range in price from $40 to $130. To reserve tickets, call 800-45-RODEO (select option 1 for tickets) or visit www.pendletonroundup.com.

Recreation Center hiring staff, planning programs while construction team completes the building, pools. The countdown through the final weeks of construction have begun for Boardman Park & Recreation District on the Boardman Pool & Recreation Center. The Park plans a July 1st Grand Opening of the long awaited center, which includes three pools: Therapy Pool, Lap Pool, and Vortex Recreation Pool; double basketball court sized gymnasium; Aerobics Room; Weights/Cardio Room; 38-foot wide by 27-foot tall Rock Climbing Wall; Multi-Purpose Room plus locker rooms. The staff is concentrating on developing programs for the new facility as new staff is interviewed and brought on board. Instructors are still needed for specialized classes. A partial list of programs available are featured below. Water Walking: Whether you’re young, old, in shape or out of shape, you can experience the pleasures and benefits of water exercise. Providing freedom and strength of movement in many ranges of motion, water exercise enables participants to walk further and hold an object longer. This will lead to greater success in daily activities and increased enjoyment from leisure time. Go Swimming With Mommy and Me! It’s never to early to start swim classes for your child. Most swim classes start off as Mommy and Me Classes, where you get your child used to the water and make them feel safe. It’s important
to keep in mind that teaching your child to swim is a long-term process. It involves a balance of motivation, skill and fun -- so the sooner you start, the better! Babies as young as 8 weeks old can enjoy the water with you, while solo lessons typically start by age three. Indoor Kinder Kickers! This coed class is a great way to build soccer and social skills while being in a fun, noncompetitive setting. Ages 5 - 7. Circuit Training: This session will focus on different parts of the body including: * Upper body - This includes all muscles in the arms, shoulders and upper back. * Core & trunk - The core muscles are essential, not just in achieving a toned stomach, but also to your balance. * Lower body - The muscles targeted in this section include the glutes, hamstrings, quads and calves. Open Gym Basketball & Volleyball: Groups will be split into teams for fun competition. Open Gym Dodgeball & Badmitten: Groups will be split into teams for fun competition. Swim Lessons will be provided
for all ages and skill sets! Check out the photographs from the first to the latest on Facebook, under Boardman Pool & Recreation Center, album Recreation Center Under Construction.
This March 22nd photo shows the 2-story yellow and blue pool slide, the zero-depth recreation pool (and vortex) along with the Therapy Pool. The pools have yet to be tiled and plastered, and the pool surrounds completed. The summer is looking great for Boardman residents!

RHS Key Club hosts Division 80 Rally at the SAGE Center March 4th, 67 Key Club members took over the SAGE Center for the first Annual Division 80 Key Club Rally. This gathering was the result of a vision Kiwanis Club Member Debbie Radie had to hold a leadership development day between the Kiwanis and Key Clubs. Key Clubs came from Boardman, Irrigon, Umatilla, Hermiston, Helix, and Milton Freewater, along with Kiwanis members and community volunteers who helped supervise the event. Key Club members are the leaders of tomorrow, and they’re the energetic, dedicated teens of today. Key Club is the largest and oldest service organization for teens. There are more than 5,000 Key Clubs around the world. In each of those clubs, members work together to improve their schools and their communities. Their service also increases the visibility -and enhances the reputation of both the club and school they rep-
resent. Key Clubs are sponsored by the Kiwanis Club. The morning started with registration where everyone was given a Key Club Rally t-shirt and a packet with the day’s events. Everyone gathered for the welcoming and then enjoyed a scavenger hunt to break the ice and allowed the students to get acquainted. The scavenger hunt forms were turned in to be drawn for prizes at the end of the day. The grand prize of a Kindle Fire went to Neira Rodriguez. The purpose of the gathering was to introduce the various members of Division 80, and teach the students about team building, leadership development and service. Guest Speaker Brandon Spangler of Walla Walla spoke to the group about the importance of overcoming fear and focusing for a quality life. “Pay it forward” to change a person’s life for the better was also a theme he empha-
sized. Four “breakout” sessions were presented throughout the day. Anna Brown spoke about Team Building; Rhonda Brennan talked about Service (Pay it forward); Isaac Estrada talked about Leadership Development and Joe Taylor presented a Kiwanis Club project on SIGN (Surgical Implant Generation Networking) which is a nonprofit medical intervention in 3rd world countries for repair of broken bones. Donations for the Rally came from: Mt. Valley Land Co., Lisa Mittlesdorf, Banner Bank, Bank of Eastern Oregon, SAGE Center, Boardman Foods, Boardman Chamber of Commerce, Jim Young, KRP Management, SunRise at Boardman, Neal Development. Thanks to all the volunteers who made this event possible. If you’d like to know more about Kiwanis or Key Clubs, contact Debbie Radie, (541) 945-7001.
Irrigon/Boardman Key Clubs worked together to make the Division 80 Rally a huge success.
Key Club and Kiwanis members along with volunteers posed for a group picture to remember the event.
Key Clubbers brainstorm during a Team Building excersise, the object of the excersise was to work together standing on the tarp and turn it over without stepping off. The teams all performed this excersise together without any mishaps.
Irrigon Key Club President and Division 80 President Bruno Salas presented Neira Rodriguez with the top prize, a Kindle Fire.
Motivational Speaker Brandon Spangler from Walla Walla, WA spoke on “How to Define Success”

Hermiston Chamber to hold Administrative Professionals Day luncheon We are excited to announce this year’s entertainment at the 2017 Professional Assistant Day Luncheon Tuesday, April 25, 2017 Comedian Susan Rice. Here’s just a little information about Susan Rice in her own words. I am a comic whose career has spanned 33years. I have performed on Stage in everything from Shakespeare to Improve. I started my stand up career in 1983 when I needed a change. My time riding the bus and annoying people with my humorous observations turned into material and from there I began my life as a Stand up Comic. Comedy has given me a forum to be (although briefly) part of my audiences life. I always remind people of someone they love. It’s a great feeling! My comedy friends use to say I was the most huggable comic in the business because after my shows everyone wanted a hug. It was weird and yet nice. I lived in LA for 14 years and performed all over the country and on cruise ships, as well as cable and national television. I have worked in the worse possible conditions to the grandest of theaters.
I consider myself so very lucky to have come up in an era where standup comedy was being defined as an American Art Form. I truly love what I do. Take a moment and nominate your Professional Assistant. One lucky winner will be crowned the Administrative Professional of the Year. Over the year’s we have had many outstanding people in our commu- Comic, Susan Rice to perform for the nity who have been rec- 2017 Professional Assistant Day ognized, for their dedi- Luncheon, Hermiston Chamber cation to the business they serve.

March 2017 Fire Calls- 21
Boardman Park enjoyed seven members of the Blue Mt. Good Sams Club during the middle of March. L-R Imelda Gonzalez BPRD Park Manarer, Louis Pulley, Keith Bauder, Loretta Wells, Sharon Cook, John Cook, Randy Wells, John Doka, Jennifer Hernandez, BPRD Park Aide. The Good Sam Club adopted Boardman Marina & RV Park and helps with the spring cleaning each year. The work consisted of mowing (the first time this year) raking leaves, seed pods and tree branches. All the campsites were a mess from the long winter and much of the leaves were buried in snow and needed swept up. Gene VanGorder, Maintenance Supervisor said that without the Blue Mt. Good Sams here to help us, it would have taken another two months of steady work by the staff to clean up. The Good Sams did it all in one day! The Park staff treated the Good Sams to a well-deserved lunch. Thanks for all your hard work!

Pendleton Round-Up announces selection of 2017 Poster Artist The Pendleton Round-Up is pleased to announce the selection acclaimed western artist Buckeye Blake as the 2017 poster artist. Buckeye is an important figure in the contemporary western art world, noted for combining traditional and contemporary styles in his dramatic, colorful paintings of western themes. An art critic reviewing his work observed, “Buckeye Blake is an artist whose experience as a working cowboy gave him firsthand knowledge of western subjects. His paintings exhibit a fanciful, graphic style mixed with a taste for pop culture interpretations of western figures especially cowboy and cowgirl iconography. He approaches traditional themes with humor, a strong sense of design, and a sunny palette, all of which gives his work a lighthearted flavor”. As a child, Buckeye moved around the west following his father on the rodeo circuit and working on ranches, including a stop in Buckeye, Arizona where he picked up his nick name. Buckeye’s experience as a working cowboy was tempered by the influence of his mother, an artist who created murals and painted portraits to supplement the family income. After a stint as a scene painter in Hollywood, Buckeye returned to his love of showing cutting horses and creating fine art; setting up a studio in Augusta, Montana for many years before relocating to Weatherford, Texas. Buckeye’s work is featured in many important collections including the Buffalo Bill Historical Center, the Denver Art Museum, the 3M Mu-
Western artist Buckeye Blake selected as poster Artist for Pendleton Round-Up seum, the Harmsen Collection and the C.M. Russell Museum. He has been the subject of numerous retrospectives as well as being featured in countless magazine articles and publications including the book, Buckeye Blake: Art on the Western Front. Blake feels honored by being selected as the Pendleton RoundUp’s 2017 poster artist. “As a painter, capturing the bright colors, rich history, vivid action and legendary drama of the Pendleton Round-Up is a unique opportunity. I’m excited to create a painting which captures the Let’er Buck spirit of the world famous
Pendleton Round-Up.” Echoing Buckeye’s comments, Round-Up President Bill Levy noted, “We are extremely happy to have Buckeye Blake as our poster artist. His style is a perfect match with the color, drama, history and celebration of the west that is the essence of the Pendleton RoundUp. Our fans will love Buckeye’s poster”.

Riverside students thanked by Oregon State Police Superintendent
Riverside High school students participated in the “Exploration of Law Enforcement” with Travis Hampton, Superintendent of the Oregon State Police. Boardman, OR — On Monday, March 13, the students in the “Exploration of Law Enforcement” class at Riverside Jr/Sr High School received a special visit from Travis Hampton, Superintendent of the Oregon State Police. Hampton came to personally thank the high school students for the time and input they have given to the SafeOregon project, a new statewide safety tip line for all schools. The 15 students in the class have been involved with SafeOregon for several months, offering feedback about the name of the tip line, the website colors and functions and how they think students can promote it in their schools. “I want to commend you all for a job well done on a statewide effort. You have been engaged in something in your young lives that has already made a difference for students, and that’s great,” said
Hampton. Oregon State Police is giving the students T-shirts and water bottles, plus a donation of $250 from the Oregon State Police Officers’ Association. Dirk Dirksen, Morrow County School District Superintendent, was also in attendance and thanked the students. “On behalf of the school district, thank you for making an effort in our county to help SafeOregon become a reality. I also applaud Officer Shimer for taking the lead with this class,” Dirksen said. George Shimer is the Safety Resource Officer for MCSD’s schools in Boardman. SafeOregon is available to all public K-12 schools in Oregon at no cost and is a way for students, staff or other members of the public to anonymously report and share confidential information of a threat or a potential threat to student safety. For more information, visit safeoregon.com.

Old Time Fiddlers to perform in Irrigon Get ready for toe-tapping fun on April 29th in Irrigon! The Blue Mountain Old Time Fiddlers will play for you at Stokes Landing Senior Center at 6:00 pm. Dinner starts at 5:00 and can be purchased for a small fee. Fiddling is a style of music rather than an instrument itself. Fiddlers do not use music while they perform, but play by ear. Fiddlers often take liberty with a tune, adding extra notes for their own style and interpretation of a tune. This technique adds to the excitement of the evening because you never know what the fiddlers are up to next! Mark your calendars for April 29th. Admission fee is $5.00 with dinner available for purchase. Everyone is welcome to come out and enjoy an evening of music and toe-tapping fun! All ages are welcome!
