A monthly free publication for the promotion of community news and service in Boardman and Irrigon. Published on the first Friday of each month; ad and copy deadlines are the previous Monday of each month.
In an “ordinary” year (pre COVID-19) Boardman’s Chamber of Commerce organized a 4th of July celebration, complete with vendors, parade and lots of activities. Constrained as we have been under the COVID-19 regulations, volunteers in Boardman have stepped up to make sure Boardman celebrates Independence Day in style! Valerie Kreps wants her young son to experience the fun of an old-fashioned 4th of July parade, so she chatted around town and decided to organize it herself. She has been trying to get as many people on board as possible to help make this 4th of July feel like life is returning to normal. Lots of locals are excited to participate after being home-bound for so long. The parade will be Sunday, July 4th beginning at 10:00 am at SAGE Center. Note the new parade route -- Main Street is bypassed. Show up! If you can’t be in the parade, bring your lawn chair and enjoy the show! “Let’s not skip another year. The 4th is about freedom and our community coming together to enjoy the festivities as well as this parade!” Valerie Kreps stated. Luis Campos, President of Columbia Youth Soccer Club, has organized a busy Independence Day celebration, The Boardman Rumble on Saturday, July 3rd. The idea started with a soccer tournament, and grew from there. Over a dozen food and goody vendors have signed up, as well as activities such as the bounce house, the water bounch house, a mechanical bull, a hay shoot out, a chili cook off and DJ Kora will entertain us from Noon to 5:00 pm. All vendors and activities will be at Boardman Marina. Sponsors include Portview Apartments, Marcie’s Tax Services, Mid Columbia Title Company, Murray’s Drug, Boardman Park & Recreation District and the North Morrow Times. Other events and sponsors are signing on, so check with the July edition of The North Morrow Times for all events and times. Contact Luis Campos, 541/701-8880 for additional information.

OTLD Board of Directors voted May 19, 2021 to adopt a fine free policy. “Fine free” means that patrons will not be fined daily for overdue materials. This change is part of an institutional movement from libraries nationwide, guided by the recommendations of the American Library Association in an effort to increase free public access to library services. As a special gift to patrons during these challenging times, the Oregon Trail Library District will also erase all past overdue fines for patrons. This does not include past fees for lost or damaged items. Only the overdue (late) charges on your OTLD account will disappear. Lost and damaged charges will remain your financial responsibility. If you order items from another library and then check them out at an OTLD branch, you will not be charged overdue fines. If you go to a different library, which still charges fines, and check items out at that location, you
Regular Library Hours Sunday Closed Monday Closed Tuesday 10-2 lunch 3-8 Wednesday 10-2 lunch 3-8 Thursday 12-5 Friday 12-5 Saturday10-2 Boardman will be charged fines for overdue items; we cannot waive these fines. Going fine free does not mean that you do not have to bring your books back to the library. Items still have a due date and materials still need to be returned. Materials can be renewed two times if there are no holds. If an item is not returned, or is returned damaged, patrons will still be charged for lost or damaged items. This change is for all of the patrons of the library. The Library’s mission is to provide free and equitable access to all. Library Director, Kathy Street, is very excited for the change. “Many new patrons are afraid to establish an account for fear of costs. Especially families.” Fines should not prevent any member of the community from accessing services. Studies in libraries that have eliminated fines show that there has been no impact on return rates. In fact, it can even increase use of library materials.

It’s been 27 years-but who’s counting! June of 1994 was a busy month for Jane Pope and Lynn Prag -- they were learning how to produce a special issue of The North Morrow Times which would inform the community about all the 4th of July activities the Boardman Chamber had planned. Neither Jane nor Lynn had ever published a newspaper before, but Chamber President Dr. Robert Boss came to them and asked for their help and they decided to give it a try. Back in 1994, the newspaper was physically pasted up on blank sheets, then photographed at the printers, and finally printed on newsprint. Any photographs included (there were none for that issue) had to be photographed on black and white film, the film developed, sized correctly, and then pasted up along with the text and various “clip art” (there were huge books of various cartoon-like clip art that was cut out and pasted upon the page.) The Hermiston Herald staff were really helpful to Jane and Lynn, and showed them how to line the articles and ads with “little bitty sticky” rolls of various width lines for definition. Everything had to be lined up and straightened on a light box, a wooden box with lights inside of it and a glass top; the “pasteups” were placed one by one on the light box to be built.
Finally, the Hermiston Herald staff photographed the pages and printed the issue. That was the beginning. Since then, the newspaper world has evolved via computer to digital paste-up via a program called PageMaker (now obsolete) and cameras are all digital now, so no film involved. The issues of the North Morrow Times are emailed to the East Oregonian’s website, the newspaper was printed in Pendleton until just recently, and then the 3000+ newspapers were transported to Hermiston to be picked up by North Morrow Times staff. A recent change is the printer is now located in Walla Walla. One constant throughout the years has been the support by Boardman Chamber of Commerce and various advertisers. The Chamber pays to mail each issue of The North Morrow Times to everyone with a Boardman zip code. In earlier years, the Irrigon Chamber was a supporter and paid to have the newspaper mailed to everyone in Irrigon. That support ended when a certain Irrigon Chamber President wanted a valued writer fired, and Jane and Lynn refused. The physical printing of the newspaper is costly; the advertisements have paid for that cost. Anything left over after
paying for the printing, computers, office supplies etc. is split evenly between Jane and Lynn. The newspaper venture has never been a real money maker, but both ladies enjoy gathering the information, taking photographs, writing the stories, and
supporting the Boardman community. “We love to spread the good news throughout the community,” says Jane. “Especially about all our kids!” What’s the future hold for the North Morrow Times? Both ladies say that as long as it continues to be fun and The Boardman Chamber pays for the mailing, they intend to carry on. Meanwhile, HAPPY 4TH OF JULY, BOARDMAN!

Nominations are submitted over a two-month period by administrators, coworkers, parents, students and community members. Winners are selected from these nominations by school district administration. “In the past year, the COVID-19 pandemic has been one of the greatest challenges to K-12 education, but many educators have stepped up and worked even harder to serve eastern Oregon’s students. Due to these challenges, celebrating this year’s Crystal Apple Award winners has been even more important and more special,” said Michele Madril, IMESD director of communication. The IMESD would like to thank the 2021 Crystal Apple Award sponsors: Mid-Columbia Bus Company, CHI St. Anthony Hospital, First Community Credit Union, Bank of

She goes above and beyond her role as an educator – she has opened her classroom for staff to visit and observe and is willing to meet with them for individual support when requested. Amber truly believes in being a life-long learner and applies new methods, skills and ideas in her classroom to make learning fun. “If Amber feels as though a student’s needs are not being met, she will find a way to make it happen.” Teresa Parret is an Assistant Custodian at Heppner Jr/Sr High School and has worked in the district for 18 years.

BMCC provides certification in Unmanned Aircraft Systems to meet workforce demands PENDLETON, Ore. – Blue Mountain Community College (BMCC) is rising to the challenge to fill the rapidly growing labor demand for the Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) industry. This certification is designed to graduate a professional workforce who operate on par with manned aviation organizations. On May 19, BMCC is hosting a special ribbon-cutting event by providing access to education for our region with our first Non-Credit Training Certificate, UAS Professional Pilot. The event invites include members of the newly formed BMCC UAS Advisory Board that include Delmar Aerospace, Pendleton UAS Range, Pendleton Economic Development Director and Airport manager, Cayuse Technologies, Elkhorn Media Group, Anderson Geographics, Hawman Farms, Frontier Precision, Air Supply, and Cunningham Sheep. Most commonly knowns as drones, Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) are expanding into nearly every major commercial sector to more efficiently collect data and improve operational safety for people; from herding livestock to aiding law enforcement to inspecting critical infrastructure in the energy industry UAS has an unlimited potential of use. BMCC’s certification will include hands-on learning with both Pixhawk and Piccolo autopilot software and UAS; after a short term of 60 hours, an average graduate
of this program is on par with professional pilot training, and can expect to find employment with a starting annual salary between $45k to $65k. “Using technology from UAS has many benefits to society from maximizing the efficiency of agriculture to increasing the safety of emergency services personnel by sending the technology into harsh conditions, such as wild fires and floods to gain a better view of the situation.” Drew Leggett, Precision Agriculture Instructor shared. BMCC values and strives for excellence, demonstrated by being the first cohort of 27 colleges nationwide to receive from the Federal Aviation Administration certification for Unmanned Aircraft Systems Collegiate Training Initiative. Students who successfully complete the training will receive a certification for the skills and knowledge necessary in the field of UAS airframes and
aerodynamic, system designs and components, autopilot programming and fundamentals, sensors and payload operations, how to operate in National Airspace for UAS operations, and FAA UAS Regulations.

Add wildflowers to give your gardens a charming, relaxed look
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Annuals live a short, sweet life. They bloom, make seed and die. Fortunately for us, they return year after year if left to go to seed. Besides being lovely to look at, annual wildflowers attract pollinators that sip their nectar and/or cart off their pollen, feeding the insects, butterflies and hummingbirds who, in turn, pollinate the plants. “True wildflower patches will take on a natural, informal appearance in the garden,” said Amy Jo Detweiler, Oregon State University Extension Service horticulturist. “They will evolve over time and change as the dominant seeds in the mix spread more quickly.” There’s more to growing wildflowers than just sprinkling them on the ground, sitting back and watching them grow, Detweiler said. First select an appropriate site. Most wildflowers prefer full sun, well-drained soils and open areas free of weeds. Water the site you chose for several weeks to germinate and bring up any existing weed seeds, Detweiler said. Then, remove any weeds by manually pulling, tilling, or using a nonselective type of herbicide. Once the weeds have died and been removed you are ready to gently loosen the top 2 to 4 inches of the soil. Deep tilling tends to
bring up too many weed seeds and will cause problems later, Detweiler said. You may need to amend the soil with some kind of organic matter or compost to improve nutrient-deficient soils in Central Oregon and drainage in garden west of the Cascades. Commercial wildflower seeds can be successfully planted in spring or fall. Seeding rate is one ounce of seed per 125 square feet or as directed on package. A hand seed spreader is a good tool for broadcasting the seed. You’ll get more uniform coverage. For planting in spring, gently water the site for up to a month prior to planting to improve germination after seeding. Seed in mid-April in western Oregon and the beginning of May in central Oregon. For western Oregon gardeners who missed the window for watering the site for a month before seeding, it’s okay to only water for two weeks this year. Keep the area lightly irrigated while seeds are germinating if it doesn’t rain. If planting in fall, broadcast the seed late enough that germination will not occur until spring (early November). Most annuals’ seeds need light to germinate so do not cover the seeds – rather let them sit on the surface of the soil. Make sure you leave the dead plants long enough so they drop all their
seed. Detweiler has these suggestions for annual wildflowers: Black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta) Blue flax (Linum perenne) California poppy (Eschscholzia californica) Purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea) Foxglove (Digitalis purpurea) Godetia (Clarkia amoena) Lance-leaf coreopsis (Coreopsis lanceolate) Mountain hollyhock (Iliamna rivularis) New England aster (Aster novae-angliae) Pot marigold (Calendula officinalis) Scarlet gilia (Ipomopsis aggregate) Sweet William pinks (Dianthus barbatus) White meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba) Globe gilia (Gilia capitata) Large baby blue eyes (Nemophila menziesii var. atomaria) About the OSU Extension Service: The Oregon State University Extension Service shares research-based knowledge with people and communities in Oregon’s 36 counties.
