UEC’s Manufactured Home Replacement Program celebrates first recipient

A rainy day in January couldn’t dampen the spirits of Matthew and Serenity Stull as they cut the ribbon on their new home northeast of Hermiston. The Stull family has become the first beneficiary of a program to help Umatilla Electric Cooperative members to replace older manufactured homes with energy-efficient models.

The Stulls have operated Parkins Garage Door Company for a dozen years. They have two children, ages 7 and 10, and are committed to raising them in the community where they both grew up. They also have a small farming operation on Columbia Lane.

To maximize energy savings, year-around comfort and healthier indoor air, the Stulls have replaced their 1984 doublewide with a Northwest Energy Efficient Manufactured Housing Certified Home, known as NEEM, purchased from Oregon Trail Homes in Hermiston.

“It’s a wonderful program and it’s worked well for us,” Serenity Stull said. “We can continue to grow on property we own, without having to move or build a new home.”

The home is far more comfortable and healthy, compared to their old home with single-paned windows and minimal insulation and air sealing, she said. The new home keeps an even temperature and keeps out dust from nearby fields. “Our old house had icicles dripping down the sides as the heat was leaving through the roof,” she said. “You can visually see the efficiency compared to the home we had.”

The loan program combines the efforts of UEC, state and federal agencies. Here’s how it works: ·UEC provides a low-interest primary loan to the homeowner to buy a highly efficient manufactured home and pay for a founda-

tion and related sitework. The source of UEC’s funding is a loan from USDA’s Rural Energy Savings Program (RESP). The homeowner is obligated to repay this portion of the loan package over 20 years.

·Based on household income and other criteria, to help make the new home affordable by offsetting a significant portion of the cost, Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS) provides a supplemental “gap” loan that is fully forgivable if the occupant stays 10 years. This loan is at zero-interest and no payments are required.

·The state also provides a grant to fully cover the cost of removing and recycling the old home.

ing windows, LED lighting, Energy Star appliances and other features of a manufactured home with NEEM certification can provide up to 30 percent more energy savings than a home built to minimum code requirements.

For UEC, the intention is that energy savings from a highly efficient home will help offset part of the homeowner’s loan, said Lisa McMeen, UEC’s vice president of administration.

“We are excited to partner with state and federal agencies for the most ambitious energy saving program we have ever offered to our residential members,” McMeen said.

“We are truly grateful for the dedication of all those who helped us become among the very first electric cooperatives in the U.S. to offer this program,” she said.

Since 2019, UEC has been using the USDA’s RESP program—championed by U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley—to help members finance heat pumps, windows and other energy-saving measures.

nant of health outcomes, economic opportunity and social mobility. But rising housing prices often makes the dream of owning a quality home feel out of reach. That is an all-too-common experience,” said OHCS Director Andrea Bell.

“Today, we are proving that through collective and collaborative action we can achieve positive results that are most meaningful for the people of Oregon. Stull family—welcome home!”

“The Rural Energy Savings Program (RESP) is a crucial tool to help rural Oregonians make important energy efficiency improvements to their homes that will save them money by lowering their energy use,” said Sen. Merkley, who authored and funded the program that helps Oregon’s rural families and businesses meet the up-front costs of investing in energy effi-

ciency projects. “The completion of this home—the very first manufactured home replacement by a rural electric cooperative in Oregon using RESP funding—is a big milestone. Congratulations to UEC and the Stull family for being trailblazers in this program in Umatilla County. I will keep fighting to help rural Oregonians save energy and save money.”

Adds Greg Smith, who administers UEC’s Business Resource Center and its manufactured home replacement program, “It’s exciting UEC has a tool that helps homeowners enhance not only their energy efficiency but their quality of life.”

For more information on manufactured home replacement, please contact Kristin Connell at UEC’s Business Resource Center at 541 289-3000, uecbrc@gmail.com.

To qualify for UEC’s program, loan recipients must receive their electricity from UEC and occupy the home as their primary residence.

The home must be located on the recipient’s personally owned property, in a cooperatively or nonprofit-owned manufactured home park, or in a privately owned park that has a written agreement with OHCS.

The program is intended for households with an annual household income at or below 100 percent of Oregon’s average median income. The participating homeowner also agrees to take a homeowner/energy conservation course.

The older home must be certified as energy inefficient—most manufactured homes built before the mid-1990s are considered as such.

Increased insulation, tighter building envelope, better perform-

Building on the success of that program, UEC worked with federal legislators and agencies to expand RESP to include manufactured home replacement as an energy-saving measure.

At the same time, on the statewide front, UEC collaborated with legislators and community action agencies to create manufactured home replacement legislation, signed by the governor in 2020 and now administered by Oregon Housing & Community Services and its Manufactured Home Replacement Advisory Committee.

The state’s manufactured home replacement program also works with other organizations, such as the Energy Trust of Oregon, to provide benefits to as many Oregonians as possible. In Northeast Oregon, for example, customers of Pacific Power and Cascade Natural Gas also may be eligible for the state’s gap loan through the Energy Trust.

“Housing is a critical determi-

10-Month EOU program kick-starts teaching careers

Eastern Oregon University is pleased to report a record number of graduates are being selected for teaching positions after completing the University’s Master of Teaching (MAT) program.

In 2021, 87% of MAT candidates were hired by a district upon graduation. Still, other candidates took jobs in education, but not in the classroom.

The College of Education’s 10- month, immersive MAT program combines professional experience in classroom settings with academic preparation. While the program is designed as a 10-month program, there is a two-year option that benefits educators currently teach-

ing on a restricted license or candidates who would like to split the program up to fit their needs better.

MAT teacher candidates are placed in K-12 classrooms to work and learn from mentor teachers and a University supervisor.

Students have a six-week summer term and two five-

week sessions of classes during fall and winter terms. Students participate in one MAT weekend per five-week session and attend inperson classes at Eastern Oregon University to experience hands-on learning. The rest of the hybrid program coursework is done asynchronously. The deadline for Eastern Oregon University’s Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) is fast approaching. The application deadline is March 1, 2023.

To learn more about the program visit eou.edu/mat or contact Christina Thew, MAT Program Coordinator at cmthew@eou.edu or Kristin Johnson MAT Program Advisor at kristin.johnson@eou.edu.

BEO Bancorp reports 2022 earnings

Heppner, Oregon, (January 27, 2023) BEO Bancorp (OTCBB:BEOB) and its subsidiary, Bank of Eastern Oregon, announced consolidated year end 2022 earnings of $8,585,000; average earnings per share of $7.13. Total assets were $890.3 million; net loans were $488.8 million, while deposits ended the year at $819.8 million.

“By all typical financial measures, 2022 was a strong year. We ended 2021 in a very liquid and asset sensitive position. As 2022 unfolded, the tightening of fiscal policy and increasing interest rates by the Federal Reserve, added significantly to our interest income,” said President and CEO, Jeff Bailey.

According to Chief Financial Officer, Mark Lemmon. “Net income rose 24.1% year over year. Return on Average Assets is 1.00% compared to 0.93% in 2021. Return on Average Equity is at 17.54%, up from 15.42% in

2021. Our book value per share is $41.51 up 4.3% from last year’s $39.80; while shareholder equity increased 4.3% year over year.”

Chief Operations Officer, Becky Kindle said, “Deposits grew 8.8% year over year. Along with organic growth, we con-

tinue to gain new relationships in markets where bank consolidations and branch closures have occurred. Our team of bankers have done a fabulous job in navigating another interesting year.”

“Loan volume increased 4.8% year over year. We have expanded our lending teams in strategic locations and those efforts are paying off,” said Chief Lending Officer, John Qualls.

Chief Credit Officer, Ed

Bailey concluded, “Given our rural footprint, it should come as no surprise that as agriculture goes, so goes our bank. Timely rains in the late winter and spring turned what could have been a poor crop into an above average crop in most of our trade area. Higher input costs were made up for by strong production and decent prices across the various commodities. Renewal season has revealed strong margins as we head into 2023, but as last year proved, timely rains make all the difference in the world.”

It is scholarship season at Blue Mountain Community College and many other colleges and universities. Students and potential students are urged to apply for the BMCC Foundation scholarship which opened January 9 and closes on March 31, 2023.

Boardman City Hall breaks ground on building department expansion

Train-the-Trainer class set for Boardman on May 16, 2023. This is the first in-person session since before the pandemic.

BMCC students are reminded that they can order food boxes from the BMCC food pantry, The Den using a link in their student account. Boxes are delivered to Boardman within a couple of days. Students also have access to the Grab and Go pantry here at the Workforce Training Center. It is stocked with easy to fix meal items that are a lifesaver to students who have classes spanning meal times.

The BMCC Workforce Training Center is open 9 am to 5 pm Monday through Friday.

Boardman City Hall broke ground this week on an expansion for new building department offices. The construction of the 4,084 square foot expansion was awarded to 2KG Contractors Inc. of Portland, Oregon. The new addition will have its own entrance to the building and will include offices, a conference room, a public waiting room, and public

restrooms.

The city council voted in June of 2022 to do the expansion. The cost of the project will be funded through already accumulated building department funds received from building permit fees. Oregon State law has restrictions on how building department revenues may be spent, allowing only those funds to be spent on

building department expenses. There will be no revenues spent from tax dollars the city receives.

A preliminary construction schedule shows a completion date for the project of January 16, 2024. For more information regarding this project, City Manager Pro Tem Stokoe may be reached at Boardman City Hall, 541-481-9252.

Leasing

TheBoardman Senior Center provides lunches on Tuesdays and Thursdays plus a breakfast once each month on the 1st Saturday. Their purpose is not to raise money, but to provide a service to the community. Their intention in charging for these meals is to seek to break even. Unfortunately, with the ever increasing prices of groceries, they have been losing money on these meals.

At their last board meeting it was decided that the cost of lunches and breakfast would unfortunately

need to be increased. Therefore they decided that beginning January 24th lunches will be $5 for those who are over 55 and $6 for those under 55.
