Maryhill Museum of Art invites residents of Clatsop, Columbia, Grant, Lincoln, Morrow, Tillamook, Washington, Wheeler, and Yamhill counties to visit FREE of charge during the weekend of August 15 & 16, 2015. Residents of those counties need only present their driver’s license to receive complimentary admission. Throughout the summer months, Maryhill designates certain weekends to offer free admission to residents of select counties in Oregon and Washington; over the course of the season, every county in Oregon and Washington is included in the program. For nearly two decades, Maryhill has extended this offer to its neighbors, giving Northwest residents a chance to explore one of the region’s most fascinating cultural destinations at no cost. “This is a great opportunity for
locals and for those planning a visit to the area, to experience the museum and the new exhibits on view,” said Colleen Schafroth, Maryhill’s executive director. In 2015, Maryhill is celebrating its 75th anniversary. Permanent exhibitions include more than 80 works by Auguste Rodin, European and American paintings, objects d’art from the palaces of the Queen of Romania, unique chess sets, and the renowned Théâtre de la Mode, featuring small-scale mannequins attired in designer fashions of post-World War II France. Baskets of the indigenous people of North America were a collecting interest of the museum’s founder Sam Hill; today the museum’s American Indian art collection represents nearly every tradition and style in North America, with works from prehistoric through contemporary.

OSU study: Mercury scrubbers at Oregon power plant lower other pollution too ailments. Simonich and her team tracked concentrations of airborne PAHs during 2010 and 2011 at Cabbage Hill, Oregon (elevation 3,130 feet), about 60 miles east of the Boardman plant, and also at the 9,065-foot summit of Mount Bachelor 200 miles to the southwest. They sampled approximately weekly from March through October of 2010, and again from March through September of 2011. They analyzed the samples for three major groups of PAHs: the parent chemicals and two “derivatives”— groups of PAH chemicals resulting from the decomposition of the parent PAHs. Staci Simonich, environmental The 2011 measurements chemist in OSU’s College of Agricultural Sciences, led the study at Cabbage Hill showed significantly reduced concentrateam.

the same level of trans-Pacific transport at lower elevations— where people actually live—as we’ve previously found at Mount Bachelor,” Simonich said. When the researchers analyzed the Cabbage Hill data for 2010, they found high levels of the chemicals they were studying, but the pollutants did not have an Asian signature. Then in 2011, they found that the Cabbage Hill concentrations of the parent PAHs and OPAHs were much lower than they’d been in 2010. “We looked at the data and said, ‘Wow! 2010 is different from 2011, and why should that be?’” Simonich said. “We had trouble understanding it from a trans-Pacific standpoint. So we started thinking about regional sources, and that’s what led us to look at emissions from Boardman.” They got in touch with officials at PGE and learned about the April 2011 upgrade. Their review of PGE’s emission records revealed correlations with their own measurements. They concluded that the reductions in PAH concentrations at the Cabbage Hill site were caused by the 2011 upgrade. The upgrade may also aid her research, Simonich said. “When you have a major point source of pollution nearby, it’s hard to pick out the signal of the Asian source coming from farther away. Now that these emissions are reduced, we may be able to pick up that signal much better.” More important, she said, the air is cleaner. “Boardman used to be a major source of PAH pollution in the Columbia River Gorge, and now it’s not,” she said. “That’s a good thing for PGE and a good thing for the people living in the Gorge.” The study was funded by the OSU Superfund Research Program, a multidisciplinary center administered by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation collaborated on the research. Author: Gail Wells Source: Staci Simonich

BMCC’s TRiO Student Success program receives major federal grant PENDLETON, Ore. – A thriving student success program at Blue Mountain Community College on Wednesday learned it can continue for another five years, thanks to an annual $231,600 federal grant from the United States Department of Education. The grant will renew for five years. The grant will fund BMCC’s TRiO Student Success Program, which provides services to help students succeed in college, and is dedicated to increasing the retention, graduation, and transfer rate of students with a demonstrated financial need, who are first generation college students, or who are students with disabilities. A high percentage – 75% – of BMCC’s degree-seeking students
meet the full Student Support Services criteria. Through a grant competition, funds were awarded to institutions of higher education to provide opportunities for academic development, assist students with basic college requirements, and to motivate students toward the successful completion of their postsecondary educations. The goal is to increase college retention and graduation rates of its participants. Last year, BMCC served 165 low-income and first-generation college students and individuals with disabilities through the TRiO program.

Morrow County Fair & Rodeo 2015 Grand Marshal Max Hellberg If any Morrow County resident knows what it means to be a working cowboy, it would be Max Hellberg of Irrigon Hellberg, 82, may not have been born in the saddle, but his obsession wasn’t too long in the making. Attending local rodeos as a young man, Max loved the challenge of the competition, the camaraderie of the cowboys and the thrill of working with a good horse. He participated in calf roping, wild cow milking, the Pony Express and other horse races, and horse shows and livestock shows. He won events at Heppner, Haines, Ukiah, and Joseph, as well as at the Spokane International, Pioneer Posse, the Portland PI and the Pendleton Round-Up. Walla Walla Frontier Days also gave Max the honor of being listed as one of Walla Walla Valley’s Rodeo Legends. Hellberg won the American Farmers award for FFA in 1950 with crops and livestock. He has since specialized in raising crops, kids,
and livestock, as he and his wife Marilyn raised six children in Morrow County. As a hay man from next door (Walla Walla), Max was already familiar with several local families when he first came to live in Morrow County in 1963 and he took home the Morrow County Calf Roping saddle in 1964. He has raised 4-H and FFA horses and market steers for the Morrow County Fair and Rodeo over decades and generations, from 1963 to 2013. His contributions to promoting the cowboy way of life include years of hard work and volunteering his time and livestock for many FFA and rodeo events. As a resident of North Morrow County, Hellberg and his family-like many others North Morrow families spent years practicing rodeo at the Sage Riders arena in Umatilla County. Hellberg continues to supply the Sage Riders with more than 20 head of cattle he personally gathers and delivers free
each spring, to be used at practice and rodeo events all summer for anyone who wants to learn to enjoy the sport of rodeo. Hellberg says this is his way of passing on a legacy by training the next generation of Morrow County cowboys. While they may have practiced in Umatilla County, though, the Hellbergs always considered the Morrow County Fair and Rodeo their hometown fair and rodeo, and Hellberg served as a member of the Morrow county Rodeo Board for several years. As important as rodeo was and is to Max Hellberg, he didn’t limit his community involvement to the rodeo arena. He served on the very first Morrow County Planning Board. Other advisory board positions included the Umatilla Electric Company Board of Directors, West Extension Irrigation District, Good Shepherd Hospital and Trinity Lutheran Church council. He is a current member of the Morrow County Cattlemen’s Association. He has been and continues to be a
faithful supporter of North Morrow FFA. He has been raising American Quarter Horses since the 1940’s, when the association had just begun, and continues to this day--an unbroken line of horses Max raised and trained to rope, reign, cut, show, race and ride in the mountains. Many a Morrow County kid has borrowed his horse for fun, for races, for parades, for practice. He says he has always been generous with his horses because he has a soft spot for the kid who wants to ride. Each year without fail he combines his passions of faith, fun and family by attending 2015 Morrow County Fair and Sunday morning in church in Rodeo, Grand Marshal Max Heppner and heading over to Helberg the Morrow County Rodeo. It is a tradition he says he never misses, deo. Hellberg says there has althe opportunity to thank the Lord ways been someone or some event and to reconnect or make new to support and cheer on, even if, friends. He certainly never misses some years, the key event might the Morrow County Fair and Ro- be the stick horse races.

29 counselors, 65 students and staff attended this years “Battle of the Bands: 4-H camp. By Ashley Jones The 2015 “Battle of the Bands” 4-H Camp was a great success this year! Camp was held from June 17th-21st, there were 29 counselors, 65 campers, along with adult staff, camp cooks, nurses and volunteers hailing from Morrow, Gilliam and Wheeler counties all who gathered at Cutsforth Park for a fun-filled week. Surprisingly, the weather was great this year and we saw no rain during the four day outdoor camp, everyone was very thankful! This year a variety of classes were offered including: active games & sports training by Mr. Joe Colby, animal track print making by the ODFW Heppner Office staff of Melody Henderson, Steve Cherry and Travis Schultz and bucket drumming by Ione School music teacher Mrs. Jordan Bemrose-Rust. There were a great group of crafts available this year including paper airplanes from the Ukiah Community 4-H Club Ted, Laura and Quinton Orr, rocking microphones & the ever popular nail polish station taught by camp counselors, band themed paper craft taught by Gilliam County 4-H Leader Kathy Street, robotics taught by Gilliam County 4-H Leader Scott Maley, and Wheeler County 4-H Leader Debbie Bunch from the Wheeler SWCD brought her stream table up for an educational piece on watershed health. Outdoor activities like capture the flag and multiple “Get Ac-
quainted” games kept everyone busy in the warm sunshine. The hike was another great success; two separate trails and activities were offered with one hike activity teaching campers & counselors how to build an outdoor shelter taught by Morrow County Sherriff Office Deputy Scott Carter as well as the traditional hike to the top of Little Baldy Mountain with guest speaker assistance from Mr. Jason Miller. One evening was capped off with the launching of dreamboats onto the pond followed by the ever popular camp dance. Family and friends had the chance to view our closing ceremonies with the parade of tent “band album covers” and award ceremony. Everyone went home tired & happy again this year and a great deal was learned by all! We would like to thank all of our camp volunteers, instructors and helpers – we couldn’t do this without you: Lori Matheson-camp nurse, Mary Reser & Sabrina Waggoner – camp cooks, Andrea Fletcher – chaperone, night patrol, hike help, transportation, Kim Carter – chaperone, kitchen help, Scott Carter & Jason Miller – hike speakers, Kathy Street, Scott Maley, Ted, Laura & Quinton Orr – activity help, Debbie Bunch – hike help, chaperone, night patrol, craft station, Joe Colby, Melody Henderson, Steve Cherry, Travis Schultz, Jordan Bemrose-Rust – class instructors, and Sandi
Richardson – Camp host at Cutsforth Park. 4-H camp is not possible without the excellent help and dedication that we have from our 4-H camp counselors! This year we had an outstanding group of young people who were ready to work hard, had great attitudes during the entire camp, and really formed a cohesive & strong leadership team. Our Morrow County Counselors were: Emily Taylor, Morgan Orem, Madison Haselbusch, Erica Nelson, Alex Lindsay, Kolby Currin, Kane Sweeney, Austin Carter, Kevin Murray, Tim Gould, and Ian Meakins. We also had three fantastic “Counselor’s In Training” this year that were extremely helpful during the entire camp: Tyler Carter, Gibson McCurry, and Keegan Gibbs. These young people take time away from work, sports or other family events to attend counselor trainings and then camp itself. They are invaluable to the program and we thank them for all of their hard work and help! Next year’s camp theme was voted on by the campers and it will be a College themed 4-H camp for 2016. For more information on how to participate in 4-H or to attend 4-H camp, please contact the Morrow County Extension Office at (541) 676-9642; visit our website and follow us on Facebook and Instagram at Morrow County 4-H Oregon.

Life 93 years ago along the Columbia River in Morrow Co. It’s Oregon’s 150th Birthday! Here is a sample of local history from 1922. Housing, School, Community, Agricultural Production and Economic Development – Sound Familiar? What was life like along the Columbia River 93 years ago? Take a few minutes to check out Boardman activities in 1922 Excerpts from “Faces in the Rear View Mirror: Notes of Boardman Historical and Genealogical Value” Extracted from Newspapers of 1922, Morrow Co. Oregon Reprinted with permission of heirs of Audrey Ellen Wilson, who published this collection of 1922 articles in her 1993 book, Faces in the Rear View Mirror.- Portraits of Courage, Strength & Endurance. Enjoy! 7 July, 1922 Another first! A Ford Agency Here! Mr. and Mrs. C.H. Latourell spent the 4th in Boardman making acquaintances and trying to keep cool in the new service station built by Mr. Latourell. A soda fountain has been installed and tables arranged for serving cool drinks and ice cream. It is one of the most attractive service stations of the Columbia River Highway. Why? Mr. Latourell informs us that the Boardman station is an authorized Ford agent, and that all genuine Ford parts and accessories will be carried in stock. Cars and tractors will be there on dis-
play soon. The elder Bonney boy is nursing a sore head as a result of a dive into the Columbia, where the water was shallow and the rocks thick and hard. FIRST FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION UNQUALIFIED SUCCESS BOARDMAN GOOD HOSTESS ENTERTAINS NEIGHBORING TOWNS. The weatherman was kind and a gentle wind was blowing, which gave relief from the intense hear of the previous day. The program for the day was as follows: Flag Salute by American Legion and Auxiliary Song: America The Star Spangled Banner, by Helen Boardman Address: Rev Benson Music by: Alderdale community Recitation: Your Flag and my Flag Chorus: Keep the Glow in old Glory Song: Oregon, My Oregon Dinner at the School Cafeteria 12:30 Ball Game: Washington vs. Oregon 2:30 General Sports, S.H. Boardman, promoter, 4:00pm Dance in the Auditorium, 8 p.m. While the program was going on, others were at the schoolhouse preparing the tables and making the punch, which made a great hit with people. Punch was much less work than lemonade. The visitors were seated in the cafeteria room
and the Boardman folks in the room adjoining. Everyone had their fill. The jars of punch were filled and re-filled. At the close of the dinner, ice cream was served in cones and everybody had all they wanted. “ I guess I ate 17 cones,” one little chap said. The ice cream was managed better this year. The men changed frequently and did not tire. A great number of out of town visitors were present, coming from Willow Creek, Irrigon, Alderdale, Bickleton and other neighboring towns. The baseball game followed the dinner and the Washington team met the Boardman boys and for once if not the first time in history, the Boardman team won the game, but perhaps the credit for this belonged to the Umatilla pitcher. The dance in the auditorium closed Boardman’s first big celebration. Everyone worked hard and had a wonderful time. Stephen A. Lowell, a pioneer lawyer of Pendleton, was the speaker at the Old Oregon Trail pageant in Baker on the 4th of July with Governor Ben Olcott and Ezra Meeker. The board members met at the schoolhouse Monday and had the pole fixed so that “Old Glory could float once more. The rope pulled out of pulley several months ago. The credit for the flagpole repair in time for the 4th goes to M.L. Morgan.
14 July, 1922 Arlington has a New Dentist, Dr. W.T. Tiller, a graduate of the North Pacific Dental College at Portland. He will conduct a dental business in Arlington. He comes highly recommended. He as a World War Veteran, having served in the Army for sixteen Months. A. Anderegg is taking a little time off from the Cheese Factory. He is out pitching hay for an old friend of his. Ted Partlow had his right arm broken last Saturday. His horse stepped on it. He had his left arm broken in a similar manner last winter. Earl Cramer is the proud possessor of a brood sow, which brought a litter of fifteen. The new depot will soon be ready for business, a much needed improvement for our bustling city. Little Arvie Hango First Internment in Cemetery. “Operation Success, Heppner Elevation Fatal” The news of Arvie Hango’s death came as a shock to all. Mrs. Johnson, our county nurse came last week and took him to her home in Heppner where he had his tonsils removed Friday morning. Miss Mae Hango went up to Heppner Saturday on the Train Number one, arriving there about 4:30 p.m. Little Arvie passed away in his sleep that same evening at 7:30 p.m. The nurse and doctor report a successful operation, but the elevation was too high for his weakened condition. The whole com-
munity extends sympathy to the family. The body was buried in the Boardman cemetery, it being the first internment held on the project. July 21, 1922 Vaughn Keys, Alton Klitz, Albert Macomber and Albert Mefford have gone to the harvest fields for the summer. The new dentist, Dr. C. Severinsen is installed in his office at the bank building. Everybody avail themselves of this opportunity, or we may not keep him long. (Editorial note: This likely was the father of “Doc” Severinsen, the world famous trumpeter of Johnny Carson and N.B.C. orchestra fame. Shortly after this date, the family moved to Arlington. Doc came back to Boardman and hunted with the Wilson boys and other Boardmanites.) 28 July 1922 Mrs. Pruter has a phenomenal turkey gobbler. For the past two weeks he has been sitting on 15 eggs. From all appearances, he is going to stick with his post. Clark Boardman, of New York City, cousin of Sam Boardman, is here on a visit. Sam had the nerve to take him for a boat ride without consulting Captain Mitchell. Leo Root’s new porch in front of the Post Office is about completed. It adds greatly to the appearance of the building and serves the very useful purpose of keeping out sunrays.

Coaches look for players that have a great work ethic. All the talent in the world means nothing if an athlete’s attitude is poor. Employers today look for these same qualities in young ambitious employees. Ricardo Mendoza is the embodiment of work ethic. His work ethic is second to none. His attitude is nothing short of astounding. The Mendoza brothers are something of a dynasty in Pirate Football. Ricardo’s older brother Brian, a four year starter himself, was a team captain, center, and all around leader. Ricardo is a very adept tailback that puts his team first. Last year Ricardo played O line for us when his older brother went down with a reoccurring ankle injury. Ricardo, never playing O line before, but he stepped up to the task. He learned the system and worked hard. Ricardo realizes that team work is what builds a team. He consistently strives to help his teammates every day. Ricardo, is and will be in years to come, a major contributor to the tradition that is Pirate Football. Tradition for Ricardo is family. Those we are born into and those earned with sweat- Pirates for life. “When all fails lean on me brother” (Author Unknown).

This show will excite students and adults alike to look at the mechanics of the Universe with new eyes.

Black and Blue Club Riverside Football Player of the Month. By: Josh Bettesworth, RHS coach I have never met a person who never lamented “I wish I would have tried less.” In fact it’s quite the opposite. Few can say they gave it their all. If blood sweat and tears are the only true measurement of one’s success then few have known it. Gavin Roberts was one of those lucky hard working few. He played multiple sports for the Pirate’s- a strong leader and excelled in all. Gavin was the most loved kid I have ever had the opportunity to meet. He had an uncanny ability to raise spirits with that crooked little smile and hart that only the best of us possess. Gavin built tradition at the Pirate Stadium every time he stepped on the field. His flashy play and modesty were amazing to everyone who didn’t know him and common place for those lucky enough to have had the opportunity. You will be missed number 20. Gavin’s quote: Honor is earned with sweat. Gavin Roberts: Building tradition through sacrifice and leadership! He was the best among us!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Boardman community for all the kindness’ that were shown to the family with the loss of Gavin. All those that worked the fund raisers, made donations, made floral arrangements and were there at every turn to help family. Special thanks to Mrs. Shimer for letting us use the High School. I wish I could thank each of you by name but there are so many and I don’t want to leave anyone out and there were those working behind the scenes that I don’t even know about. Thank you to Gavin’s classmates. What a wonderful group of young people. There is a Memorial Scholarship Fund set up at Banner Bank in Gavin’s name thanks to the rifles raffled. We will never forget Gavin and we will never forget how this community came together at our time of sorrow. With gratitude, Grandma Marge and ALL of the Roberts/Davis family
