Dr. Robert Boss retires from Columbia River Health Services Back in 1987, St. Anthony’s Hospital ran the health clinic in Boardman. There had been a mul-
isting clinic, brought in some mobile offices, and opened Boardman Health Care Center; for one year,

They seem to be saying “He’s the man!” to retiring Dr. Boss. Photos by Matt Kegler titude of providers (doctors and physician’s assistants) who had channeled through the clinic in Boardman until Dr. Robert Boss contracted with St. Anthony’s to be the provider in Boardman. Not long after Dr. Boss signed up, St. Anthony’s pulled out of running the clinic, so Doctor Boss then contracted with Morrow County to provide medical services in Boardman (at the same location). Boss had decided to live in Boardman, and was determined that Boardman have medical facilities. A group of Boardman citizens petitioned Morrow County to form Morrow County Health District so that medical services throughout the county could be addressed. The Health District was formed, and after disputes with Dr. Boss, decided to run the medical clinic in Boardman with other providers. Not to be deterred, Dr. Boss purchased the lot next door to the ex-
there were two medical clinics in Boardman, until the Health District shut down their Boardman clinic! Doctor Boss was involved not only in providing health care in Boardman, but also in making Boardman a better place to live. He served as President of Boardman Chamber of Commerce for several terms and was able to establish a fund for the annual 4th of July Celebration that collected money not for the current year’s celebration, but for the next year. In 1994, Dr. Boss was President of the Chamber and concerned that the hit-or-miss publication North Morrow Times did not currently have an editor. Boss contacted Lynn Prag, and asked if she would “put together a simple newspaper to advertise the upcoming 4th of July Celebration in Boardman”. Lynn said she’d have to partner with someone, and contacted Jane Pope. Neither had any previous
high school for our school newspaper!”) Thus was the beginning of a 19-year (so far!) run with Lynn and Jane editing and publishing the North Morrow Times---thank you, Dr. Boss! Local politics has always been an interest for Doctor Boss. He encouraged friends to “get involved”, and his enthusiasm made at least one local, Bill Brown enjoy local politics as the Mayor of Boardman. Doctor Boss always enjoys life a little out of the mainstream. For example, for five years, he lived in his motorhome at Boardman Park. “Best front room view I ever had,” he exclaims! And who could forget seeing Doctor Boss learning how to windsurf at the Marina? Or learn how to rollerblade along the asphalt campground roads in the Park? Or participate for years as the official “pooper scooper”
armed with shovel and wheelbarrow at the 4th of July parades? In 2003, Doctor Boss was looking ahead to a time when he might want to retire, but he also wanted to ensure that Boardman would have continuing quality health care. Boss heard about, and researched a new federal grant program (42 U.S.C.254b) for migrant and community health clinics. Boss hired a specialist who had the knowledge to complete federal grant forms, Jim Carlson. Part of the necessary paperwork entailed forming a non-profit entity with a charter board of directors and a name: Columbia River Community Health Services. Doctor Boss talked Carlson into not only filling out the forms to apply for the federal grant for Boardman medical services, but also for Fossil (Asher Clinic). Wonder of wonders, both grant applications were approved! Doctor Boss basically gave his medical clinic business to Columbia River Community Health Services, which ensured a cash flow from the beginning. Eight years into its existence, Columbia River Health is the very picture of a successful venture, as evidenced by their new 15,000 square foot clinic that is located on Willowfork & Tatone Streets. The community stepped up to ensure that the new facility opened for business without debt! An amazing accomplishment! Through the years, Dr. Boss oversaw the training of physician’s assistants (PA-Cs) hired at both the Boardman and Fossil clinics. At a recent surprise retirement party for Dr. Boss, many of the PA-cs attended. Each spoke emotionally about the medical and life lessons Dr. Boss imparted to each of them. As Doctor Boss cut back on his obligations at the clinic, he has been instrumental in bringing on new providers at CRCHS to continue the quality health care. The clinic offers a wide range of medi-
cal services including well baby and child exams, immunizations, sports physicals, CDL physicals, employment related drug screenings, chronic disease management, and other services including dental care to provide reduced cost dental care for the clinic’s sliding scare fee patients. Anyone needing health care is seen, and payment is either by private pay, insurance, or sliding scale fee, depending upon the patient’s income. So Doctor Boss is retired. “But I’m only retired from Columbia River Community Health Services,” he maintains. Boss continues to supervise the Asher Clinic in Fossil, (along with Home Health and Public Health there) and he supervises six ambulance crews in the greater Boardman area. “So I’m only semi-retired, “ he laughs. He is looking forward to spending more time with his grandchildren, “I’m going to Oklahoma next week to see one of my grandkids graduate from college!” And he always

Over 40 people were in Boardman on Saturday, April 27 to help clean up and show pride in our community. We met at 8 am at the City Park and then went to different work stations. Chairman Keri Jarmer placed people to plant flowers along Main Street and divvied up garbage bags to the rest of the volunteers. We worked all along Front Street on the Highway right-away and on both sides of the street all the way to Olson Road; we then went to the big va-
cant lot on south Main Street and along Boardman Avenue. We also had volunteers cleaning up Sam Boardman’s grave site at the cemetery. You could pick us out not only because of the yellow garbage bags but Tina and Neal Livingston, owners of Dead Rock Sporting Goods made us all matching blue community pride Tshirts. We thank the sponsors of this event; Boardman Community Development Association, The City
of Boardman, Boardman Chamber of Commerce and the businesses that donated; First Community Credit Union, Dead Rock Sporting Goods, Bank of Eastern Oregon and The SAGE Center. A great big thank you to all of the community members who came out and volunteered their time to help make Boardman a more welcoming community for our residents and visitors. THANK YOU!

Formations, a company that creates exhibition displays, is here installing many wonderful exhibits such as completing the framework for the hot air balloon experience. You may have noticed while driving on I-84 that a Playground has been mounted and landscaping is under way. The parking lot and Olson Road has recently been paved and the Chamber is once again open for foot traffic. The Store has been making headway as we begin the process of receiving and entering inventory into our new Point-of-Sale system. Kalie Davis, SAGE Center manager, is busy preparing for the grand opening on June 1st. Our volunteer fair on April 9th was a success as we met some great people that are excited to share the SAGE Center experience with the community and visitors. The Boardman Chamber of Commerce wants to thank our members and visitors for the patience you have so graciously given us during this transition.

Pirate football “resurrection”
David Boor, new RHS head football coach
The new Riverside High School Head Football Coach, David Boor, has a plan. And anyone and everyone that knows Mr. Boor, knows it is a well thought out plan, and one that he will complete. Coach Boor plans to build a winning program at Riverside. In order for this plan to work, it will take total commitment from the student athletes, a commitment and the involvement of parents, a hard working and organized coaching staff, the support of the community and the support of the administration.

ATHLETES + COACHES + PARENTS + COMMUNITY + ADMINISTRATION = SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM “SET YOUR GOALS HIGH, AND DON’T STOP UNTIL YOU GET THERE” – is a phrase that these athletes will be seeing and hearing, a lot. The “plan” is to have a K thru 12 program which will consist of: Flag Football for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd graders; Men In Black for the 4th, 5th and 6th graders; Junior High football for the 7th and 8th graders
and the JV and Varsity Teams for the 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grade student athletes. The JV and Varsity teams will play on an Independent schedule in fall of 2013. Coach Boor is currently assembling a coaching staff that understands they will have to work harder than ever before, not just expect hard work from the kids. They will be running a fast pace offense and an attacking defense. They hope to entertain the crowd and have a lot of excitement around the program. There are a lot of new things planned for these kids and Coach Boor and staff will be making a lot of new changes. With these changes, comes a need for funding. A golf tournament has been scheduled for September 7th. This will require participants, volunteers, and donations. Mark your calendar: A meeting has been scheduled for May 8th @ 6 pm at the Riverside High School for anyone and everyone that would like to assist with volunteer coaching, or help with the planning of one or more events, or maybe you just have some ideas you would like to share. All are welcome. Coach Boor can be contacted @ (503) 910-1940.

Ranching for Profit workshop to be held June 27th at the Port of Morrow Greenfield Grange Breakfast Saturday May 18th 7 - 10 am Adults - $5.00 Under 10 - $2.50
Ranchers will find ways to increase the profitability and the health and productivity of their ranches at a Ranching for Profit workshop 9:30-4:30 Thursday, June 27 in Boardman, Oregon. Dave Pratt of Ranch Management Consultants, Inc. will conduct the workshops. The morning session will focus on ranch profitability. Pratt will discuss why working “in” your businesses won’t improve profit unless you work “on” your businesses first. He will explain the three “secrets” for increasing profit and offer profitability benchmarks you can use to identify “deadwood” and pinpoint “profit drivers” for your ranch. The afternoon session will focus on grazing methods that increase pasture health and productivity while lowering costs. According to Pratt, who teaches the internationally ac-
claimed Ranching For Profit School, input costs have increased 5 times faster than cattle prices. Land values have risen even faster. Pratt says, “A ranch using practices that were profitable in the 70’s and 80’s loses money in today’s environment.” He adds, “Most farms and ranches are structured to fail and survive only through internal subsidies like inherited wealth, appreciating land values and off-farm income.” In contrast, many Ranching For Profit alumni earn a healthy profit. Pratt asks producers if their ranch is a business or a “pile of assets and a collection of jobs.” Pratt says that “a sustainable business must earn a profit” and adds that a ranch that doesn’t produce a profit and that doesn’t pay a decent wage to all employees (including family members) is a hobby, not a business. According to Pratt,
most ranches are very expensive hobbies subsidized with free family labor and offfarm income. Through the Ranching For Profit School, Pratt helps participants transform their ranches into profitable businesses. Pratt says he doesn’t have a one-size-fits-all recipe for success, but can offer insights and practical tools developed and refined by the experiences of thousands of Ranching For Profit School alumni from all over the world who are profitable. Don’t miss these very special workshops. The workshop will be at the Port of Morrow, 2 Marine Drive in Boardman. Advanced registration is $25 and includes lunch. Registration at the door is $30.

Good Shepherd Lutheran Church sends baskets around the world The Prophet Isaiah writes “…satisfy the needs of the afflicted, then your light shall rise in the darkness and your gloom be like the noonday.” (Isaiah 58:10) Lutheran Work Relief is an American ministry that has taken this message to heart and works with people around the world afflicted by war, displacement, and poverty. The ministry works across na-
tional, ethnical, and denominational lines sending help where ever help is needed. One of the ways this is done is by sending Baskets of Promise to afflicted areas of the world. A Basket of Promise is a simple kit consisting of a towel, toothbrush, soap, comb, and nail clipper, but to someone going through disastrous times it can mean a great deal.
For a Lenten Project, Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, challenged its members to bring an item each week to go into a basket. After Easter, the items were sorted, assembled, and made into 37 Baskets of Hope. They were blessed by the congregation and sent on their way to needy people around the world.
Free chemicals to be provided to celebrate Weed Awareness Week Morrow Soil and Water Conservation District and the Natural Resources Conservation Service will celebrate Weed Awareness Week with the third annual “Free Spray Days” at three locations in Morrow County. Monday, May 20 will be at Boardman City Hall, Wednesday, May 22 will be at Irrigon City Hall and Friday, May 24 at Heppner City Park. All events will be held from 9am to noon. One gallon containers of pre-
mixed, ready to apply landscape labeled chemical will be given to local homeowners for use on their property to control broadleaf weeds such as false mallow, puncturevine, and dandelion. A limited amount of chemical will also be available for homeowners who provide their own backpack sprayers. Chemical labels will accompany the containers listing where, how and when to apply. Morrow County Grain Growers donated the chemical and Morrow
SWCD provided the containers. All participants will sign a statement that they will follow the label and apply to their property. Spike, the Oregon Weed Awareness mascot will be attending each event. SWCD and NRCS staff will also be providing information on available programs, healthy watersheds and clean water. We all live in a watershed and have a responsibility to leave it better than we found it.
Give your extra winter coats to someone who needs it. Cold weather can be tough for many local families. If you have extra winter coats please donate them. We’ll be sure they go to families in need. Bring your donations to: Columbia River Community Health services 450 Tatone Street Boardman, Oregon

Heppner, Oregon, (April 17, 2013) BEO Bancorp and its subsidiary, Bank of Eastern Oregon, announced first quarter 2013 consolidated net income of $404,000 or $0.42 per share, compared to $675,000 or $0.71 per share for first quarter 2012. Total assets were $293.8 million, up 9.6% year over year. Net loans of $222.2 million were up 11.0% from the same period in 2012 while deposits were at $261.9 million, up 9.9% year over year. “While less than 2012 first quarter results, our core earnings are strong. We took prudent steps in reducing our non-performing assets. Other real estate owned is down over 50% from last year. The non-recurring expense of $352,000 during 1st quarter helps to clean up our balance sheet,” said President and CEO, Jeff Bailey. Chief Financial Officer, Mark Lemmon said, “Net interest income after provision for loan losses is up 13.7% from last year. This, coupled with increased loan demand, should help offset compression in our net interest margin. Return on Average Assets is 0.56% and Return on Average Equity is 8.12% compared to 1.02% and 14.93%, respectively, year over year.” Lemmon went on to say, “Reasonable profits helped contribute to shareholders’ equity increasing 8.2% year over year. We remain the most well-capitalized bank in eastern Oregon.” Chief Operations Officer, Gary Propheter said, “The prolonged low interest rate environment is a frustration to depositors and bankers alike. In spite of the low rates, we continue to see strong growth trends in deposits. Customer confidence in the safety and sound-
ness of Bank of Eastern Oregon is gratifying and serves to reinforce the confidence we have in our employees to deliver products and services that meet the needs of our growing customer base.” “We are pleased with the ongoing good performance in our ag loan portfolio. After a number of years of decent production and prices, we realize that ag markets are cyclical and we will take prudent steps to make sure our loan loss reserve is adequately funded to stave off a possible downturn in the ag economy. We have taken steps to bring our problem assets to a more manageable level. Our hope is that our local natural resource based economy will continue its strength and the national and global economy continues to improve,” concluded Bailey.

Six raised beds to try if you have bad soil CORVALLIS, Ore. – Afraid gardening and your soil are not compatible? Raised beds can come to the rescue. “By building raised beds, you instantaneously can have good garden loam,” said Ross Penhallegon, a horticulturist with
To build your raised bed, Penhallegon suggested using the following materials: · Straw bales – Use straw from wheat, barley or other grains but do not use hay because it can contain weeds and seeds, he said. Bales should be free-standing. Dig a hole
A cloche can be built to protect raised beds in winter. (Photo by Sam Anigma.) the Oregon State University Extension Service. “Raised beds answer the question of how we garden in inhospitable areas that are too sandy, too wet or have too much clay.” Raised beds should be built in March and April. First select the plants you want and learn how deep their root systems grow. Raised beds are generally six to 12 inches high depending on the depth of the plant’s roots, Penhallegon said. Raised beds are typically three feet wide so you can reach across easily to weed and maintain the plants, he said. The bed can be as long as you want. After you build the structure framing the raised bed, fill it half way with loam. Using a three-tined garden fork, mix in an equal amount of organic matter such as compost, leaf mulch or animal manure. After the first season of growing vegetables in the raised bed, add two to four inches of compost in October. Then in March or April, mix the compost into the soil using a garden fork.
in the straw for each plant. The bales are especially good for growing carrots and potatoes. You can also plant peas or pole beans in them if you use a trellis. Fertilize and water by hand or use a soaker hose. The straw slowly composts for the plants, feeding them nutrients. · Raw wood – Cedar is a good choice because it is fairly resilient, Penhallegon said. Coat boards with exterior latex paint, which is not as strong as chemical preservatives and can resist moisture. In choosing between raw and treated wood, decide how often you want to replace the wood as it decays faster when wet, he said. · Treated wood – Wood that is treated with preservatives such as pentachlorophenol, creosote and linseed oil lasts longer in rainy climates, Penhallegon said. Research shows that there is little likelihood of wood-preserving substances contaminating the soil, he added. Nevertheless, he still advised covering the wood with plastic sheeting or exterior latex paint to reduce the risk.
· Old tires – Old tires stacked on top of each other work especially well for potatoes. · Concrete blocks – Concrete lasts a long time, absorbs heat well and is water-resistant, Penhallegon said. Stack one, two or three blocks high. Keep in mind
that it is more expensive than wood. Look for inexpensive blocks that are cracked or chipped, he said. · Railroad ties – Whether railroad ties are safe to use is hotly debated among researchers and the general public, Penhallegon said. “It’s been shown that there is very little creo-
sote leakage out of railroad ties,” he said, “but that depends on how old they are, whether they’re damaged and how long they’ve been around. It’s very tough to say absolutes.” He recommends covering railroad ties with plastic sheeting to protect your plants.
