Pictured are members of the Boardman AED Task Force Sandy Toms, Del Turner, Barry Beyler, Toni Connell & representing CREZ and BCDA Karen Pettigrew. Not pictured are members Dan Grigg, Kathy Neal, Mike Schaub, and Ana Aylett. photo contributed Boardman has a new task force aimed increasing the availability of AED’s and CPR training to its community members. A committee was formed in 2014, made up of business representatives, health care individuals, and citizens at large after recognizing the need for all public areas to have access to these lifesaving devices. The Boardman AED Task Force is funded through grants, community, and in-kind donations. An Automated External Defibrillator, or AED, is a portable device that checks heart rhythm and can send an electrical shock to the heart or restore a normal rhythm. The device is used in cases of sudden
cardiac arrest to defibrillate patients prior to ambulance arrival. The devices are small and battery operated. It can be used by anyone as the device prompts users through a series of voice commands on how to properly use the device. If a shock is not needed, the device will not deliver a shock to the patient. The Boardman AED Task Force received grants from Columbia River Enterprise Zone, the Wildhorse Foundation, Boardman Community Development Association, and Morrow County Health District. With these grants the task force was able to purchase 15 AED’s, of which two are already placed at the Boardman Marina
Fire Fighters Association
Park. Other planned locations include, the Marker 40 beach, the golf course, Main Street Laundromat, Sinclair gas station, apartment complexes, and other locations were spread out through the Boardman community to give patients quick access to lifesaving care before first responders arrive. The task force wishes to continue placing AED’s throughout the rest of the Boardman Community, and to inspire neighboring communities to do the same. For more information about the Boardman Task Force contact Del Turner, Morrow County Health District, at 541-481-2202 or email delbertt@mocohd.org.

Irrigon’s Skinny Bull Ag Museum open their doors for everyone If you’ve driven through Irrigon lately and looked at the location of the former grocery store, (behind the Bank of Eastern Oregon) you can’t help but notice a collection of old farm equipment...balers, tractors, plows, etc. Next time, stop in and visit with Wayne and Wanda Schnell who have opened the Skinny Bull Ag Museum with an assortment of their personal collection. The museum opened March 21st, and is open Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm; and Sunday, 10 am to 4 pm. They are closed Wednesday and Thursday. The museum got its name from Wayne’s long-time friend, Ray Fox (who has passed away). Wayne
cess mechanic for 25 years at Lamb Weston. Wayne laughs “I started having Wanda come out to my place to work on my equipment. After a while, I couldn’t afford her any more, so I HAD to marry her!” Wayne was raised in Camas, Washington and worked as a machinist until they went out on strike and he decided to go do something else. A friend told him about a farm for sale in Irrigon, and that’s how he ended up raising alfalfa and orchard grass hay. Rather than just retire, when it came time to sell the farm, Wayne made a deal with Bellinger’s to throw in the purchase of the former grocery store as part of the deal. That started a year-long renovation to ready the
Old time collectors and owners of the Skinny Bull Ag Museum, Wayne and Wanda Schnell stand in front of the first tractor that Wayne’s father purchased in 1941. The John Deere Model A tractor has belonged to his family for 74 years. used to farm and raise hay, and sold his hay to Fox’s feedlot. The two friends joked and teased each other all the time. Wayne would kid Fox about how skinny his bulls were at the feedlot, and Fox would respond that it was Wayne’s fault because of the weedy hay he sold to Fox. Before Ray Fox passed away, Wayne shared his dream of having the museum, and promised to name it “The Skinny Bull Museum” in Ray Fox’s honor. Wanda and Wayne have been married for 12 years. Wanda used to belong to a car club in Umatilla. One day Wayne came to the club and they met. Wanda was a pro-
building to be worthy of their collection. One of the featured items in the museum is the John Deere Model A tractor that Wayne’s father purchased new in 1941; the tractor has been in the family since then. Other items include pedal cars, bicycles, a room by room depiction of early 1900’s living, complete with authentic furnishings, old pictures, even an old Mustang that Wanda bought new in 1967. The couple wanted to make sure anyone could enjoy their museum, so their entrance fee is by donation only. The additions to the museum are ongoing; Wayne says he has over

He has the first hay baler made, which was a horse pulled implement. He has almost every baler that John Deere has built. They are interested in adding old photographs to preserve history, so anyone can donate if they are willing to have them displayed. “I went all over Oregon buying up old tractors, trying to make a buck!” says Wayne. “You get one, and then you get another, then pretty soon you have a whole collection!” The couple have a lot of friends and family to thank for assistance in renovating the building and the equipment displayed. Just to name a few, friends, Ray Warlick from Tillamook (Ray who just happened to graduate from Irrigon High School with Wanda in 1956) drive up from Tillamook to assist with rebuilding the old equipment and what ever else he can help with, and Saundra, Ray’s wife who put together all the small display cases. Another friend, John DuBois of Hermiston has also helped with the restoration of the farm equipment. Burrel Cooley, a friend from Irrigon, replaced all the screws holding the metal roof on the building as well as other renovations. Wanda’s three children Dean Olson, Cathy Campbell and Lorrie Hastings all have helped re-

Although people enjoy touring the museum, they also stop by to have coffee with friends and visit. Every third Sunday of the month, the Butter Creek Boys, a group of five local talented musicians, play old time music from 1 to 3 pm. Jim Simpson on banjo, Curtis Cloughton on bass, Rusty Roe on saxophone and Tom Watkins on fiddle are from Hermiston, while Win Weston guitarist is from Irrigon. August 16th they will feature the music and a car show from noon to 4 pm. Anyone interested in showing off their antique cars or just looking at them, is invited to the gathering.

Area high school students earn diplomas and college degrees For most high school students, earning a high school diploma is accomplishment enough, but several eastern Oregon youth are earning a college degree at the same time. Through Eastern Promise, they have been able to get two years ahead on their college educations. Riverside High School student Stephanie Madrigal, 17, is graduating a year early from high school and completed her Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer (AAOT) degree while attending high school. When she started her freshman year at Riverside, she took regular grade-level courses, but soon her school principal encouraged her to start challenging herself. “Once I started to take the harder classes, I discovered I was up to the challenge, and I just kept going,” Madrigal said. She started taking dual credit courses her sophomore year and attended the Eastern Oregon University Summer Institute during two summers. The institute offers two, three-week sessions for high school students who have completed their sophomore, junior or senior year the opportunity to immerse themselves in the college experience and earn college credit. During her senior year, Madrigal also took online courses through Blue Mountain Community College. The main goals of Eastern Promise are to grow a college-going culture and increase access to affordable college credit in high school. Studies have shown that those who complete some post-secondary training or education earn higher wages and experience lower unemployment, yet the cost of college is high. Eastern Promise, with support from higher education partners BMCC, Eastern Oregon University and Treasure Valley Community College, enables high school students to earn college credit when they meet the college level of proficiency. Eastern Promise Credit by Proficiency costs students $10 a credit. According to Eastern Promise K12 Director Kris Mulvihill, earning even six college credits in high school greatly improves the likelihood of degree completion. Mulvihill tells students, “You have
to go to high school, you need to go to some sort of “college”, and in eastern Oregon, you can go to high school and college at the same time.” Taking college courses didn’t prevent Madrigal from fully participating in high school life. She played tennis and volleyball, was the National Honor Society vice president and a member of choir and Key Club. She said it took time and organizational skills to learn how to manage her studies and activities well, but she would definitely recommend students earning college credits and pushing themselves to work hard. “You don’t have to be super smart, commitment and dedication is the key. It is do-able and anyone can manage it,” Madrigal said. Madrigal said she talked to her high school counselor, Mike Royer, a bit about college credits, but utilized Eastern Promise personnel and an advisor at BMCC to put all the pieces together for the AAOT. When BMCC holds its commencement ceremony June 12, several high school students will have earned their high school diplomas (or are still in high school) and AAOT degrees from Blue Mountain. Mulvihill said earning college credits in high school not only saves students time, effort and money, it gives them options and flexibility—they may choose to graduate college earlier, add a minor or an endorsement, change their major, travel or take a lighter course load in order to maintain a higher GPA in competitive fields. She said students as young as seventh grade are expressing a goal of earning a year of college credits or their full AAOT or Career and Technical certificate while in high school. When Madrigal attends the University of Portland this fall, she plans to major in business administration. She is a first-generation college student in her family and is hoping her example will pave the educational path for her two younger brothers. “It gives me a head start—if I graduate two years early, I will have an early start to getting a job, too,” she said. Fellow Riverside High School graduate Yvette Barrera was busy
earning college credits during high school, too. She did cheerleading, played soccer and basketball and was a member of Key Club and National Honor Society, while taking computer, sociology, art, writing and more college-level courses. She echoes what Madrigal said— it takes time management, focus and determination, but is definitely attainable. Barrera will finish her AAOT degree this summer and will play soccer at Portland Community College this fall with a possible major in graphic design. Umatilla High School graduate Caden Sipe also utilized the Eastern Promise program. Sipe graduated on June 6 from high school and will graduate with his AAOT from BMCC on June 12. He said his college professors and high school teachers were flexible, working with him regarding due dates and test dates at both school locations. When he begins college at Washington State University this fall in the mechanical engineering department, he won’t have to spend time and money on lowerlevel courses. Sipe said taking college courses helped him become more knowledgeable in subject matter he wouldn’t have experienced in high school. “I feel it’s made me an allaround better student. While I’m sure there will be surprises around the corner at WSU, I feel prepared for college and feel I have a good idea of what to expect,” Sipe said. Heidi Sipe, Caden’s mom and the superintendent of Umatilla School District, said she is grateful for the Eastern Promise opportunity, which provided challenging courses that have prepared her son well for college this fall. “He understands the expectations and rigor of a college class, and he knows that each professor will have differing classroom expectations and requirements. He’s learned to navigate college systems. I truly cannot say enough good things about this opportunity,” Sipe said. When Madrigal, Barrera and Sipe walked across the stages at their high school graduation ceremonies on June 6, they didn’t have much time to reflect — six days later, they are walking across the BMCC stage to accept their first college degrees.

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! June 2, 1922 The Gilbreth’ s had a narrow escape last Wednesday night when the steering wheel of Paul
DeMauro’ s Ford broke and the car tipped over, spilling the occupants out. Fortunately no damage was done. Returning from the Class Night exercises, and just between Messner and Boardman the car went off the grade. Wilma had her nose badly bumped, the other occupants received a good shake up. The car was not damaged. Five hundred sheep drowned in the irrigation canal just below the dam. They had just been moved close to the water and the dog, not liking the location, deserted and returned to the old camp, leaving the herder alone. When the sheep headed for the canal for water, he was unable to do anything and practically the entire herd was drowned before he could get help. Irrigon has a Fire: about one o’clock on the morning of May 25th, a number of people were aroused by the bright light reflected onto their bedrooms, and turned out to see what happened.
It appears that some hoboes had made their way into the old Corey store building and possibly smoking cigarettes set the building on fire.. The section had a number of residents in the east end who turned out with buckets and shovels and saved other buildings in the face of a strong wind blowing directly toward them. A number of other buildings caught fire and were put out without any damage. Little insurance was carried by Mr. Corey/ It’s another first! An Ice House and a Meat Market for Boardman. Harry Murchie is building an icehouse in his building and already has a meat block built. As soon as the tools arrive he will open a first class meat market for the accommodation of the busy ranchers during the hot summer days. Work has started on the new depot in Boardman! The crew arrived on Monday and is already putting in eight hours a day on the building. The teachers have “flown the coop.” After the graduation practically all participants let for their homes in the Willamette Valley. What is the matter with a community picnic for July 4th? Let all the organizations of the project, including the churches, Ladies Aid, M.W. of America, American Legion and Auxiliary, Grange and the P.T. A. special representative meet together and outline a program and picnic. Now is the time to get such a move under way and not wait until the last minute and then have to rush around doing everything. 9 June 1922 Car Runs Into Ditch. While on their way to Boardman last Saturday, Mr. & Mrs. Nizer ran into a ditch, which was dug across the road from the Harrison place. Mrs. Nizer was thrown against the windshield, and severely bruised. There was no damage to the car. For Windbreaks and
Shelterbelts: The College of Washington is making available a limited number of trees of the most suitable kinds. A few of the species are also good for street and ornamental planting. Prices range from .02c each for black locust seedlings to .60c for some of the finer and larger specimens of other species. Those interested my secure a list, with hints on what to choose for a particular location by writing to the department at Pullman. 16 June, 1922 A real meat market was opened in Boardman on Monday with Harry Murchie standing behind the counter. 142 People heading for Salmon Bake Set Adrift on Alderdale Ferry. The people of Alderdale WA invited Boardman OR residents to cross the Columbia River for a Big Salmon Bake. The boat started for the Washington shore and everything went smoothly until about 200 feet from the Washington landing. The motor stopped for the want of fuel. The boatmen, not thinking it possible that the gas tank was empty, insisted upon it being a stoppage in the gas line. The gas line was disconnected several times and sediment cleaned out. Those on the boat, and those on shore, succeeded in hauling the ferry upstream and out of the current. The boat was tied fast to shore and passengers disembarked. Soon after this the engineer filled the fuel tank and the troubles were over. The Salmon Bake did not materialize, as the fish arrived too late. The return trip was made without difficulty. A New Garage! Boardman is now moving forward. In addition to the depot now under construction, contracts have been let for the erection of a modern garage building of the bungalow type adjoining the Latourelle service station just completed. Mr. Latourelle is the Ford representative for Morrow County and will make Boardman his headquarters. He formerly operated at Heppner. He expects to install an ice cream and soft drink department in the service station and has ordered a modern soda fountain. Ingvard Skoubo filed his naturalization papers at Heppner on
Monday. 23 June 1922 Get Ready for the Big Fourth of July Celebration. Elaborate Plans for the celebration and Irrigon, Umatilla, Hermiston and all neighboring towns are invited as communities to celebrate with us. Bring your picnic dinner. Free ice cream, free lemonade and we will have a spread together. There will be a program, ball game, sports and a dance for winding up affairs. The parade starts at the Highway Inn at 10 o’clock am, led by the American Legion. The schoolhouse will be open all day and access to water and lavatories may be had there. The foundation for the depot is complete and the frame work will start at once. . June 30, 1922 Boardman Will Have an Ice Cream Parlor! It’s another first! C.M. Beck, who came here from Clendell, WA, purchased the Pastime, has already made several changes in the arrangement of the place, and plans further re-arrangement to make a separate room in front for an ice cream parlor for the ladies and children. The poolroom will be entirely separate from the front, and Mr. Beck and his two daughters will cater to the family trade. The Umatilla Rapids Development meeting in Portland with the Portland Chamber of Commerce on Monday, June 26, was a great success. Umatilla, Irrigon, Boardman, Heppner, Alderdale, WA and Pendleton had delegates attending. Sam Boardman represented Boardman at the conference in Portland. Sam Boardman Uses Cheese for Bait. Boardman is always boosting for his town and mostly carries a supply of bait to attract and hold his audience. This trip it was a large brick of Swiss cheese made by the Boardman Creamery Co., and to say that it was fine cheese…. Sam says it has a bouquet all its own. Its characteristics being so pronounced as to sometimes lead to wrong conclusions. Tourists are going through town in great numbers and the auto campgrounds are filled nearly every night.
