This is NOT our normal 4th of July or summer of activities in Boardman! Dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic has changed everything social we normally enjoy in Eastern Oregon this year. Boardman’s 4th of July Celebration has morphed from a day (sometimes a weekend) of family gatherings, a parade, vendors, fun runs, games in the park, and many other activities to now what we can enjoy under the strict guidelines to survive this time period. There will be no parade, no vendors, no large gatherings of any kind for those in Boardman. Boardman Park & Recreation District Board Chair Karen Pettigrew says “Due to the COVID-19 virus this year there will be BIG changes in the 4th of July. There will be no events at Boardman Marina Park and we are asking you not to go to the Park that afternoon and evening. Practice social distancing and wear a face mask -- it would be difficult that day unless we gather in smaller areas. We want you to have a safe, healthy holiday!” Boardman Chamber of Commerce has planned a HUGE fireworks display which begins at 10:00 pm on July 4th. They do not plan on the smaller, ground hugging fireworks this year, but have splurged their budget on the tallest displays that we will be able to enjoy from our own yards at home. Please do not drive to the Marina Park expecting a fireworks show like in the past! The Summer Recreation Program that is so popular in Boardman has many changes, too. First of all, there will be no busing this year -- there is no way to practice social distancing while crowded on school buses! Funtastic Kidz summer program for ages 5 through 12 began June 29th, with two locations: Boardman City Park and the Park beside Boardman City Hall.
The program runs from 8:30 am to 11:30 am, but parents can drop off their children at the locations beginning at 7:30
If any participant or leader tests positive for COVID-19, the summer recreation program will be cancelled.
am and pick up before noon. The children will be gathered in groups of 10 the same 10 children will be grouped each day. Staff will be wearing masks, and hand sanitizer will be available everywhere. There will be lots of games and activities for the children. This program runs June 29th to July 16th. Recreation Coordinator Tessa Carroll says “We’ve come up with lots of fun games and other activities for both the Funtastic Kidz and Teen Summer Recreation Programs to enjoy. I know that kids are tired of staying home, and this will allow them a chance to socialize in a safe environment.” Teen Summer Recreation Program begins July 6th and runs to July 30th for ages 12 to 17. There will be a maximum of 20 kids total, with 10 in each group. There will plenty of fun with kayaks, canoes and sports.
Boardman Pool & Recreation Center has another session of group swim lessons planned for July 13 to July 23rd, Mondays through Thursdays. Kids levels one through four can upgrade their swimming skills while enjoying the pool at the Recreation Center. Levels one and two will need a parent or guardian in the water with the student; instructors will be out of the water while instructing. Parents/guardians do not need any swim experience to assist their swimmers, but they do need to feel comfortable getting their hair and face wet. These affordable lessons should be a must for every kid in the area -- there are way too many drownings in the nearby Columbia River. The Recreation Center is open Monday through Fridays from 5:00 am to 7:00 pm. Social distancing is encouraged, and group activities are limited to classes with instructors and plenty of spaciousness. The staff is constantly sterilizing surfaces and watching so that everyone is safe. You can enjoy walking around the gyms in the air conditioned comfort, shoot hoops, but only by yourself, have a workout in the weight room, or enjoy a swim during open swim time. Take a look at the classes being safely held on the North Morrow Times page 16. So while this summer is unlike any we’ve seen in the past, there is no reason you must sit home and pout! Boardman still have plenty of enjoyable activities for your summer fun!
Boardman City Council just approved tonight (June 29th) to open the splash pad. It will be open by the 4th of July. We ask that you maintain social distancing and please respect each other. The bathrooms will be cleaned once a day.

Umatilla Electric Cooperative and Hermiston Energy Services work with Amazon Web Services to support Umatilla-Morrow communities by donating Capital Credits Companies coordinate to provide energy assistance, support local aid organizations, and bolster student connectivity and virtual learning HERMISTON, June 22, 2020 – Today, Umatilla Electric Cooperative (UEC) and Hermiston Energy Services (HES) announced they are working with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to donate funds to support local electric utility customers, food banks, and students impacted by COVID19. As a not-for-profit, memberowned company, UEC operates at cost, with net operating revenues, or margins, returned to its customers in the form of cash refunds via the Capital Credits program. Under this program, which applies to all UEC utility customers, AWS was eligible for a patronage refund and is working with UEC and HES to donate those funds back to the local community. UEC, HES, and AWS worked with community stakeholders to identify and direct these funds to local orga-
nizations providing direct support to individuals and families facing hardships during the pandemic, including: · $250,000 to the UEC UCARE and HES HEAT energy assistance programs to provide immediate assistance to residential customers h a v i n g trouble paying utility bills. This is enough to cover the average energy bills for over 1,000 households for two months. · $25,000 each to five local food banks: the Irrigon-Boardman Food Pantry, Stanfield’s Food Basket, Pendleton’s Community Outreach
Food Pantry, Hermiston’s Agape House and Boardman’s Food Pantry to support food assistance for thousands of area residents. · $20,000 to the Community Action
Program of East Central Oregon (CAPECO) to provide 750 meals each week to senior citizens in Umatilla and Morrow counties. · $25,000 each to the Morrow County, Umatilla, and Hermiston school districts and the InterMountain Education Service
District (for Echo, Stanfield, AthenaWeston, Pendleton, Nixyaawii Tribal School and Pilot Rock schools) to support virtual learning and connectivity for more than 13,000 students across 36 schools. · $25,000 to the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation. Additional funds will be earmarked to help respond to pandemic-related community needs as they are identified in the future. “The effectiveness and reach of the UCARE payment assistance program will be amplified by our collaboration with AWS,” said Lisa McMeen, UEC’s VP of Administra-
tion. “With such uncertainty and hardship caused by the pandemic, it is great to work with trusted partners like AWS to keep our community operating at this time.” “HES is thankful for AWS’s collaboration and commitment to our community in this time of need,” said Nate Rivera, HES General Manager. “This additional support to our HEAT financial assistance program will make a real difference for our customers during the pandemic.” “AWS continues to be an outstanding community partner for the Umatilla Schools and this community,” said Heidi Sipe, Umatilla School District Superintendent. “Their latest contributions, and those prior to the pandemic, are testament to their commitment to the children and families of Umatilla.”

EOU Small Business Development Center receives grant “We are pleased to announce that because of a grant, Eastern Oregon University Small Business Development Center will be able to increase advising resources to businesses affected by the COVID-19 shutdown. Our center was recently awarded a $10,000 grant from The Ford Family Foundation and we are most appreciative,” said Greg Smith, EOU SBDC Director. To date, EOU SBDC has assisted business owners in receiving PPP and EIDL disaster funding in excess of $3.9 million dollars. In addition, the center has helped preserve 316 jobs which is the highest within the state network of 19 centers, most of which are located in much more densely populated areas. “It’s not about tooting our horn, but we think it is important to share information about the work being
done to assist local businesses. Not all have been negatively affected and have seen a tremendous growth in sales,” Smith said. EOU SBDC has been holding webinars on such topics as navigating the PPP and EIDL process, managing cash flow, creating and understanding a financial statement, and getting your financial house in order. All of these have been recorded and are accessible on EOU SBDC’s YouTube Channel. More webinars will be scheduled soon. “We have a robust college internship program in our center and one of the projects completed by a recent EOU grad working in our center is the creation of an app. Individuals who would like to explore the services we offer, partners, and other information are invited to download it. The free app can be accessed by
searching your app store using the term “Business Advising.” It shows up at the top of the list with the ‘America’s SBDC logo’,” Smith said. None of the efforts by EOU SBDC could be accomplished without the extraordinary support of Eastern Oregon University and the leadership of Dr. Ed Henninger, Dean of the College of Business. “Thank you for making our EOU SBDC such an enviable and highly productive and successful operation,” said Dr. Henninger. We invite all business owners to contact us to receive confidential and no cost business advising. We can be reached by calling 541-962-1532 or emailing eousbdc@gmail.com. More information about The Ford Family Foundation can be found at www.tfff.org.
COVID-19 visitation guidelines updated for MCHD locations (Heppner, OR – June 12, 2020) – Morrow County Health District has recently updated visitor guidelines for Pioneer Memorial Hospital in Heppner, OR, and all clinic locations, including Pioneer Memorial Clinic, Irrigon Medical Clinic, and Ione Community Clinic. At Pioneer Memorial Hospital, all individuals enteriang the building will be required to go through the designated screening process before entry into the facility. All patients & visitors are required to enter through the ER door of the hospital after screening has occurred. Hospitalized patients are allowed to have at least one visitor per day. The condition of the patient shall determine the length of the visit. Patients seeking care or treatment in the facility (lab, x-ray, or ER) may have one guest with them if needed to assist with patient care or if requested by the patient. All patient visitation will be encouraged to occur within the patient’s room or in common areas that allow
for social/physical distancing—a maximum of two (2) visitors per patient at any one time. Out-patients and visitors are to wear masks while you are in the facility. If you need a mask, one will be provided. Clinic locations require patients and “attendees” presenting to the clinic for appointments to be screened outside of the building by clinic staff. Patients may have one “attendee” accompany them into the clinic and exam room if needed to assist with patient care or if requested by the patient. Masks are to be worn during the visit. If you need a mask, one will be provided to you. This is a particularly difficult time for
members of Morrow County communities. Just as you’ve made changes to your daily lives, MCHD has made adjustments to clinic and hospital operations to respond to the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). Please know that these new measures are in place to protect the health and safety of MCHD patients, public and caregiver teams. MCHD asks the community to continue to avoid close contact and keep your distance from others, wash your hands regularly, and disinfect frequently touched surfaces. Visit CDC.gov for more information on COVID-19 updates and recommendations.

A message from Public Works about flushing of wipes
Flushing of wipes, paper towels, baby wipes and other items could clog the city’s sewer system. With an increase of use of these products, due to the COVID-19 virus it’s important to note many new products, such as wipes, claim to be flushable, however, that doesn't mean they're treatable in our wastewater system. The fact is, some things should NEVER be flushed down the toilet or washed down the drain. Here's what you should know to protect your home's plumbing, your community's collection and treatment system and your environment: Cleaning rags, reinforced paper towels, baby diapers and wipes, feminine hygiene products, surgical or medical bandages and tubing, pads and prescription drugs don't belong in the toilet or in the municipal wastewater system. Flushing these can clog your plumbing and
cause big damage at your home or miles down the line. The City’s wastewater facilities are designed primarily to treat organic wastes, such as human waste and household wastewater, with sensitive, natural processes doing the work of breaking them down safely. Untreatable products can interfere with or skirt those natural processes and harm pipes, pumps, systems and the environment. And what does make it through must be captured, pulled out of the system and trucked to a landfill. That's a very expensive, labor-intensive way to dispose of something. We are asking residents to please flush wisely to protect pipes and the environment. Safely dispose of wipes, rages, reinforced towels, baby diapers, feminine hygiene products, surgical supplies and pads in the garbage. We appreciate your cooperation.

Governor Kate Brown extends face coverings requirement statewide Face covering requirements apply to indoor public spaces, take effect on Wednesday, July 1 (Portland, OR) — Governor Kate Brown announced today that Oregonians statewide will be required to wear face coverings in indoor public spaces, beginning this Wednesday July 1. The guidance applies to businesses and members of the public visiting indoor public spaces. Face covering requirements are already mandated in eight counties. “From the beginning of the reopening process, I have said that reopening comes with the risk of seeing an increase in COVID-19 cases beyond our health systems’ capacity to test, trace, and isolate them,” said Governor Kate Brown. “Over the last month, we have seen the disease spread at an alarming rate in both urban and rural counties. The upcoming July 4th holiday weekend is a critical point for Oregon in this pandemic, and we can all make a difference. “Modeling from the Oregon Health Authority shows that if we don’t take further action to reduce the spread of the disease, our hospitals could be overwhelmed by new COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations within weeks. “The choices every single one of us make in the coming days matter. “Face coverings that cover your nose and mouth play a critical role in reducing the spread of this disease because droplets from our breath can carry the virus to others without us realizing it. If we all wear face coverings, practice six feet of physical distancing in public, wash our hands regularly, and stay home when we are sick, then we can avoid the worst-case scenarios that are now playing out in other states. “I do not want to have to close down businesses again like other states are now doing. If you want your local shops and restaurants to stay open, then wear a face covering when out in public. “Please keep your Fourth of July celebrations small and local. We saw a lot of new COVD-19 cases following the Memorial Day holiday. Another spike in cases after the upcoming holiday weekend could put Oregon in a dangerous position. “Oregonians have all made incredible sacrifices over the last several months that have saved thousands of lives. The actions we take now can protect our friends, neighbors, loved ones, and fellow Oregonians from this disease, and prevent the need for another statewide shutdown. We are truly all in this together.” Oregon Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA) will take the lead, along with other state and local agencies, in enforcing face covering requirements for all covered Oregon businesses.

BMCC Corrections Education program receives $10,000 grant PENDLETON, Ore. – The Blue Mountain Community College Corrections Education program will receive a much-needed boost thanks to a $10,000 grant recently awarded by the Bank of the West. The $10,000 grant will enhance operational support for the program, which serves approximately 400 Adults In Custody (AICs) at three prisons – Eastern Oregon Correctional Institution (EOCI) in Pendleton, Two Rivers Correctional Institution (TRCI) in Umatilla, and Powder River Correctional Facility (PRCF) in Baker City. The Corrections Education program provides adult basic skills development courses, including English Language Acquisition (ELA), Adult Basic Education (ABE), and General Education Development (GED) preparation. The BMCC Corrections Education program started at EOCI
in 1985, and since then more than 3,250 students have been awarded a GED. The grant will also indirectly sup-
port the program’s New Directions Education Project, which offers college-level courses at EOCI at a reduced tuition rate. AIC students who complete these courses earn credit towards a college degree. This program serves an average of 50 stu-
dents per year, and to date, 14 have earned college degrees. The Corrections Education program fundraises annually for unrestricted program support beyond the expense of faculty and instructor salaries (which are paid through a contract between BMCC and the Oregon Department of Corrections) to improve students’ overall learning experience and increase their ability to achieve academic success. “BMCC’s Corrections Education program is so appreciative of the Bank of the West for its generous grant allocation to our program,” said Tammy Krawczyk, Dean of Corrections Education & College Prep. “These funds will allow our instructors to enhance the way that they engage with students.”

GEODC to distribute small Life along the Columbia River-business relief funding extracts from newspapers of 1922 Business Oregon Program targets operations missed in Cares Act. PENDLETON, Ore. – The Greater Eastern Oregon Development Corporation (GEODC) has been awarded $370,000 from Business Oregon to support small businesses in its seven-county region. Business Oregon approved $5 million statewide in the second round of grants through the Emergency Business Assistance Grant Fund to help businesses that have been impacted by COVID-19 but have not received federal CARES Act funding. The program is for businesses with fewer than 25 employees and encourages providing access to sole proprietors and historically disadvantaged business owners. Businesses may use the proceeds for any business-related operating expense, including the cost of reopening while abiding by state guidance. “We are pleased to be able to coordinate with our community partners and support small businesses as they work through the reopening process,” said GEODC Executive Director Susan Christensen. “These grant funds from Business Oregon will support women, minority, disadvantaged, and sole proprietor businesses as they make their comeback.” “Many businesses have been hit hard by COVID-19, and the Small Business Relief Fund was funded by the State’s Emergency Board and administered by
Business Oregon to assist the most vulnerable, giving businesses support needed to come back from it,” said Ryan DeGrofft, Business Oregon Regional Development Officer for Umatilla, Morrow, Gilliam and Wheeler counties. “By focusing on the businesses that did not receive CARES Act or other federal funding, we hope to provide an equitable road to recovery.” Greater Eastern Oregon Development Corporation is a regional economic development non-profit sanctioned by the Department of Commerce to support job creation and economic growth by assisting to create, retain, and expand businesses. GEODC teams with local government to develop human and physical infrastructure to support these businesses and the communities they serve. We offer a variety of lending and grantwriting programs to assist with land/ building acquisition, new construction, equipment/machinery, fixtures, inventory, supplies, and working capital. County Allocation (Max) Gilliam $7,500 Grant $25,000 Harney $25,000 Malheur $75,000 Morrow $30,000 Umatilla $200,000 Wheeler $7,500 Total $370,000

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. Here is a sample of local history from 1922. Housing, School, Community, Agricultural Production and Economic Development – Sound Familiar? July 7, 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 display 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 4th 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: 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 Ball Game: Wash. 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 pre-
paring 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. 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. 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 is 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 community 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 NBC 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.

At this time, it is not a public event, but will be live streamed for viewing. “The 4-H and FFA members in our county have workeda hard with their respective projects, despite the Covid-19 pandemic, and we are working diligently to make sure they have the opportunity to show and sell their animals and present their talented works for view,” said Morrow County 4-H educator, Erin Heideman. “The Extension Office, FFA Advisors, 4-H Leaders, Fair Board and Livestock Growers Association have all contributed in the planning stages of this effort.” A formal exhibition schedule will be distributed once all the moving pieces are in place, but for now, the general plan is to have one day species shows, similar to a jackpot show. Exhibitors will bring their livestock in the night before, show all day the next day and then go home. Students will also have the opportunity to enter all other 4-H entries cooking contests, fashion revue, photography, expressive arts, etc. All market livestock projects will be able to be sold through a virtual auction on Saturday, August 22.
