Faces in the rear view mirror--1922 2009 was Oregon’s 150th Birthday! Here is a sample of local history from 1922. Notes of Historical and Genealogical Value Extracted from Newspapers of 1922, Morrow Co. Oregon. Articles used with permission of heirs of Audrey Ellen Wilson, who published this collection in 1922. Retyped by Carol Michael February 3, 1922 Boardman was represented by C.H. Dillabaugh at the Convention of Bee Men in Pendleton. J. Skoubo, Hermiston bee man, brother of Boardman’s Skoubo brothers, and one of the most successful honey raisers of Umatilla County was chosen vice president and is also to represent the Oregon State Bee Keepers Association at the American Honey Producers League meeting to be held in Salt Lake City this week. Mr. E.P. Dodd, founder of the city of Boardman on the West Extension of the Umatilla project in Morrow County and owning farming irrigated land in Umatilla County has thrown his hat in the ring for joint State representative from Umatilla and Morrow Counties. Mr. Dodd was a member of the 1919 regular session and the 1920 special session, and because of this experience he can fill the job. Boardman Products at the Oregon Industries Banquet M.B. Signs has received a fine letter of appreciation for the Boardman Commercial Club’s splendid cooperation in furnishing home products for Oregon Industries Week in Portland Jan 23 thru 25th. On the menu card of the diner on Wednesday night: Boardman honey sauce was served with The Dalles Apple Fritters and Boardman Swiss Cheese. It’s the Rabbits of the Crops. Fifty people turned out for Ray Browns Rabbit Drive two weeks ago. Another drive on Wednesday at Mike Marshall’s place, going south to the Dillabaugh ranch where the pen was built, got about 1100 rabbits. Another rabbit drive scheduled for Saturday, will cover the same area. Thermometers on the East End stood at six. Harry Murchie buffs the weather out by building a new service station. Sick List: Mr. Hereim had an attack of hiccoughing from noon
Saturday until Monday evening. Mrs. Klages is recovering from her operation. The small son of Mr. Mow fell out of the high chair and broke his arm. Both Helen and Albert Boardman are ill. Ray Brown helped Walter Cahoon move his garage one day last week. It makes a barn for the four big Holstein cows he bought from Mr. Mow. One more East Ender on his way up. The Cheese Factory rented half of the Leo Root building to store ripening cheese. They dropped two cents per hundred pounds on the price of milk the first of February, now paying $1.80 per hundred pounds. The return ball game with Arlington was a low blow. 24-3. February 10, 1922 Wallula to Umatilla in seven hours! Walt Waddell and T.P. Mills started from Wallula in a Ford bug and actually made the trip in seven hours. For the first ten miles, the road was easily negotiated. From Juniper to mile from Sand Springs they took to the ice and then the road. Cloud Burst Buries Boardman School Bus. Travelers from Boardman to Heppner became caught in a Juniper Canyon Cloud Burst. Stalled in the mud, they walked ten miles to King’s calling Boardman for help. Nate Macomber, his wife and Sybil Grace arrived in the school bus and pulled them out, when a second cloud burst buried the school bus and their car in four feet of water. Mr. Macomber walked back to King’s and phoned Morgan, who took the Ford and brought them all back to Boardman at 3:00 am. Mrs. King provided hot drinks and sandwiches. The two vehicles are buried in mud, but the Boardman community will come together to get them out. Adolph Skoubo says sand vetch proves to be good soil builder for the rancher. It is nitrate-gathering, the same as clover. It does not become a pest in the orchard as alfalfa and clover does, as it is easily kept back. Messers. Imus and Poe
of Wells Springs were in Boardman Monday, circulating a petition for the opening of a road out of Wells Springs to enable the farmers of that section to have an easier grade and shorter route to the railroad. We understand that with the exception of three, all of our community signed. A delicious clam supper was served at midnight at the surprise party given for the Snively family. The guests continued dancing until early morning. Miss Katherine Marshall and Dilbert Johnson won the prize for the best two-step; Miss Essie Snively and Walter Johnson won the award for the best waltz. February 21, 1922 Scarlet Fever.

Rogelstad retires from Boardman Fire District After serving 22 years, Fire Chief Marc Rogelstad retired from Boardman Rural Fire Protection District December 31st. Moving to Boardman in 1998, Marc was the only paid employee of Boardman Rural Fire District, before it joined with Boardman City Fire Department to become one entity. The firefighters were all volunteer back then. One of Marc’s first duties was to write the measure for the City voters and the Rural Fire voters to vote on forming one Fire District; that occurred July 1, 1998. He became quite proficient at writing grants throughout his tenure, which enabled the District to hire a full time clerk, Fire Marshall and Assistant Chief, as well as procuring new trucks and other fire fighting equipment. “I think during the FEMA years, the District received nearly $1.6 million in grants,” says Rogelstad. That also allowed for four fulltime fire fighters. The District originally encompassed

(Main), Buttercreek, Three Mile and the Coal Plant. When Rogelstad retired in December, the District had 11 fulltime (including Fire Chief) and one part-time employee. For communication, the CSEPP two way radios morphed into the UmatillaMorrow Radio Data District, which Rogelstad served on for several years.
Retirement for the Rogelstads will include pulling out their camper to visit their grown children. Their son, Adam is a career Navy man who lives near San Diego with his wife and two sons. Daughter Heather married local boy Josh Kegler, and they live in the Portland metro area. Daughter Cassie is married and lives in Aurora with her husband and two daughters. Other family lives in Montana (where Marc and wife Brenda came to Oregon from) and North Dakota, where they both grew up. Rogelstad has been slowed some since his diagnosis three years ago with leukemia, but he says it is controllable, but not curable, so he can live with it. During his tenure in Boardman, Marc was active as the first President of the Kiwanis Club of Boardman, Boardman City Council, Budget Committees for the City and School District, as well as the Riverside Booster Club.
At present, Bill Ellis is Acting Fire Chief with Marty Broadbent as second in command. On January 9th the Fire District Board of Directors decided the current situation will work until March, when they plan to hire a new Fire Chief.
Fire Marshall Marty Broadbent is second in command.

Bank of Eastern OR celebrates 75th anniversary HEPPNER, Ore. – Bank of Eastern Oregon is celebrating its 75th anniversary. The bank was founded in 1945 by a group of farmers and ranchers who saw a need for banking services in eastern Oregon. Banding together with others, they formed the Gilliam County Bank in Arlington, OR. n the 1950’s the bank expanded, opening branches in Heppner and Ione and changing its name to Bank of Eastern Oregon to represent its growth into new rural areas. The headquarters moved to Heppner where they are still located. CEO Jeff Bailey says “Our current mission hasn’t changed from
what our founders established in 1945. We still serve the needs of our rural communities, our local markets, by providing them financial services. In some areas we’re not only the only the only bank in town, we’re the only bank in the county. And we take pride in that.” Beginning in February each of the bank’s 20 branches will host an open house week to commemorate the 75th anniversary. The Arlington and Condon branches will be the first to host, the week of February 10-14. A historical video can be viewed at each open house, as well as on the four Elkhorn Media Facebook pages, Elkhorn Media Group, My
Columbia Basin, My Wallowa County, and My Harney County. The video link can also be accessed on the BEO website (beobank.com) under the News & Links tab. For 75 years BEO Bancorp, holding company for Bank of Eastern Oregon, has grown to operate a primarily rural portfolio of 20 branches and four loan production offices in 12 eastern Oregon and four eastern Washington counties. Bank of Eastern Oregon also operates a mortgage division and administers its Washington branches and loan production offices under the name of Bank of Eastern Washington.

Morrow County — On Thursday, January 23, The Oregon Department of Education released graduation rates for school districts in Oregon. These are 2018-19 graduation rates. The Morrow County School District improved its overall graduation rate by more than five percentage points, from 82.86% in 2017-18 to 88.02% for 2018-19. This is the fouryear cohort rate, which means students who earned their regular diplomas within four years of high school. The 2018-19 four-year cohort consists of students who first entered high school in 2015-16. ODE also reported the four-year cohort completer rate, which includes students who earned a standard high school diploma, as well as those who were awarded an extended high school diploma, adult high school diploma or GED (General Education Diploma), within the four years being measured. Morrow County’s four-year completer rate is 92.81%. Dirk Dirksen, district super-
intendent, said the district had seven students who earned their GEDs and are included in that rate. Here are graduation rates for individual MCSD high schools: 4 - Ye a r Rate 4-Year Completer Rate Irrigon Jr/Sr High 89.83 94.92 Heppner Jr/Sr High 97.30 97.30 Riverside Jr/Sr High 96.30 98.15 District 88.02 92.81 Dirksen said that while the district is well above the state average for graduation, they continue to focus on strategies to improve graduation outcomes. “Our staff and partner agencies focus a lot of attention on making positive connections with students and families and addressing individual student needs,” Dirsken said.

Blue Mountain Wildlife Rehabilitation & Education/Lynn’s Journal treats new species
Recently employees at the Amazon Data Center near Boardman found an injured goose inside their perimeter fence and named it Gizmo. The data center is on the flight path between the Columbia River and a field where the geese feed during the day. Apparently Gizmo didn’t quite clear the fence on the way back to the river. The collision fractured the metacarpals in the left wing and the left tibiotarsus. Gizmo is eating and will hopefully be recovered in time for spring. Gizmo is a New Species for BMW: a Cackling Goose.

2nd Annual Softball Tournament to raise money for Irrigon boy with leukemia Irrigon couple, Rachel and Casey Scott began raising money for local children in the area who have cancer. In 2019 the Scotts started an annual tournament to raise funds for their first recipient, Brayden Locey, who was diagnosed with leukemia shortly after his 13th birthday. Brayden’s family includes mother and father, Tiff and Dan Locey and siblings Brooklyn, age 10 and Brock 12. Casey met Brayden’s father, Dan through adult slowpitch softball over the years and Rachel has known Brayden’s mother, Tiff (Gordanier) Locey and the Gordanier family her entire life through church and school. The Gordaniers are always involved in the Irrigon community in a variety of ways. The Scotts started this program to help assist with the knowingly expensive costs ahead for the Locey family. One way they raise money is an adult slowpitch softball tournament. This year the 2nd annual tournament will be held in Irrigon, March 7 & 8th at the Irrigon Marina Park & Cooley Softball Fields. The name of the tournament is “Brave with Brayden”. There will also be an “After Party” at the Midway Bar Grill with a bat raffle, along with many other items. Tickets are $1 each or 6 for $5. The After Party begins at 7:30 pm Saturday night, March 7, 2020 Tickets can be delivered by calling Rachel Scott at 541-561-8714, or you can pick them up at Oregon Trail R.V Park in Irrigon or buy them at the Tournament or After Party. You do not have to be present to win. The Scotts will continue the tournament annually to help other local
children/Families battling cancer. “Brave with Brayden” is a nonprofit program with an EIN number, and they are always looking for sponsors and raffle items to help support the tournament and raise money for the families’ expenses said Rachel Scott. Currently Tiff and Brayden are back at home after living nearly a year in Seattle close to the Seattle Children’s Hospital. Brayden attends some local treatments at Kadlec and occasionally has to go back to Seattle. The Scotts are currently looking for more local families to help sup-

Boardman begins talks to expand water and sewer project The City of Boardman is beginning talks to expand water and sewer projects in Boardman. The expansion will ensure reliability in the city’s water and wastewater systems and improve fire flow. In other city business, The Boardman Police Department would like to congratulate Loren Dieter on his promotion from Lieutenant to Captain. Captain Dieter grew up in Boardman and raised his family there. On January 7, 2020, the Boardman City Council voted on three resolutions. Resolution 1-2020 to extend development incentives which expired on December 31, 2019. In an effort to encourage new construction in Boardman, the City Council passed a resolution that temporarily waives water and sewer System Development Charges (SDC’s) for a period of twelve 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 will expire on December 31, 2020. Resolution 2-2020 to accept a broadband strategic plan for the City of Boardman. The strategic objective of this plan is to obtain broadband speed and reliability necessary for economic and community vitality, enhanced public safety, educational opportunities, and quality of life for all Boardman residents and businesses. Resolution 3-2020 to adopt a new consolidated fee schedule to govern fees for city services. There was an addition added to page three under the section for Planning Application/Review Type. A line item was added for zoning review with any planning action from the above list for a cost of $50.00.

PENDLETON, Ore. – In an effort to stay connected with local legislators, Blue Mountain Community College will host weekly videoconferences with Sen. Bill Hansell (R-Athena) and Rep. Greg Barreto (R-Cove) throughout the 2020 Oregon Legislative “short” Session. The videoconferences will take place each Tuesday from 7-8 a.m. from Feb. 4 through March 3 in the BMCC Boardroom in Pioneer Hall on the Pendleton campus. BMCC center locations in Baker City, Boardman, Hermiston and Milton-Freewater will also have access to the videoconferences.
This is the fourth year that BMCC has hosted these public videoconferences with Sen. Hansell and Rep. Barreto. Sen. Hansell and Rep. Barreto join the videoconference from Salem, where they’re representing the region in the Legislative Session. The sessions are open to the public, and are an opportunity for citizens to express concerns, address proposed bills, and gain feedback directly from Sen. Hansell and Rep. Barreto. “Legislators are inundated with many different issues over the course of the Legislative Session, so these videoconferences are a valuable op-
portunity to let our local legislators know what’s important to us in eastern Oregon,” said Casey WhiteZollman, Vice President of College Relations & Advancement at BMCC. “BMCC appreciates the time Sen. Hansell and Rep. Barreto give to the College and the public each week to stay in tune with what impacts us.” The videoconferences are typically held weekly during the short sessions in even numbered years, which run for just 35 days, and biweekly during regular sessions in odd numbered years.
Morrow County Public Works Transfer Stations raise rates Dear Morrow County Resident, There will be a minimum fee no less than $8.85 that will be required at time of dumping. If you wish and do not have a full cubic yard (equivalent to SIX 32 Gallon bags/ containers) of waste, our recommendation is to wait and fill your containers till the full cubic yard is met. Any amount of waste less than the one (1) cubic yard will be charged the minimum of the $8.85 as described below. The attendant is not to keep track of your loads and it will not be acceptable. Effective January 2020, Morrow County Public Works Transfer Stations has been working from the same fee schedule for the past seven years. Due to the continual increase in cost for the County to dispose of the waste and an effort to minimize illegal dumping to occur, it is with careful consideration working with our neighboring waste collectors that the fee schedule for Morrow County residents utilizing the Morrow County Public Works Transfer Stations will be restructured to a per cubic yard charge. Effective January 2020, we feel this is the best feasible way to charge utilizing basic hauler terms and will add some consistency between the stations since all loads include multiple products with various weights and densities. Currently with the two transfer stations, it costs the County an av-
erage of $8.85 per cubic yard to dispose of waste. There will be a minimum fee of $8.85 (or one cubic yard) and then charged per cubic yard for anything greater than one. The fee is restructured as the following: Length x Width x Height/depth = ____ divide by 27 x minimum charge $8.85 Examples: · 4’x4’x1’ (LWH): 0.59 cubic yards $8.85 · SIX – 32 Gallon garbage bags or cans - up to the 1 cubic yard, close to equivalent to SIX 32-gallon garbage bags is .96 cubic yards. $8.85 · 6’x6’x1’ (LWH): 1.33 cubic yards $11.50 · 8’x16’x4’ (LWH): 18.96 cubic yards $167.50 Morrow County has two transfer stations: · SOUTH-END STATION, HWY 74 HEPPNER/LEXINGTON HWY, LEXINGTON · NORTH-END STATION, 69900 FRONTAGE LANE, BOARDMAN, OR Both transfer stations are open every Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. With the changing of the fee structure, we will now be able to accept cash, check and Visa or Mastercard for your convenience. The new point of sale will provide consistency, accuracy and help with inventory of waste for our
recycling and waste calculation reporting efforts. Our transfer stations offer FREE of charge disposal for recycling of newspaper, cardboard, small steel cans, small glass and aluminum, latex and/or oil based paint (no more than 5-gallon containers), , electronics including computer towers, computer screens, key boards, printers, handheld radios, fax machines, tablets, telephones, cell phones, stereo and copiers. In addition, the disposal of large household items is FREE of charge. Examples of these are sofa/couch, love seat, chair/large chair, mattresses, box springs, toilets, sinks kitchen/bath, bathtubs, refrigerator, freezer, water heaters, stove/range, washers and dryers. We appreciate your continued efforts in helping to keep our county garbage free! You can also be an active member in the solid waste solutions of our county by becoming a member of our Solid Waste Advisory Committee (SWAC). SWAC meets four times a year and meetings are open to the public. By becoming a member or attending the meetings, it allows you to participate in different issues such as rates, services offered and/or how the transfer systems operate. If you have any questions and/ or concerns please let us know by emailing spointer@co.morrow.or.us or calling 541-989-8166.
