Boardman Chamber of Commerce awards banquet February 2, 2018 was an evening to remember for Boardman. The Boardman Community Awards Banquet never ceases to inspire me and strengthen the pride I have for Boardman. The 28th Annual Community Awards Banquet this year was a simple theme of elegance, focusing on the citizens of Boardman. Soft guitar music played through out social hour and the room was filled with happy conversation as everyone enjoyed a delicious meal catered by CG Public House and Catering. Bar services were provided by Destination Bartending. During the award presentations, Barbara Russell gave a lively introduction for her nominee of Pioneer of the year, Shirley Zielinski. Barbara reminded the audience that the original founding residents of Boardman have dwindled in numbers, leaving only three remaining. The original residents recall having family establishing their residency within the original Boardman city limits and then having to uproot and relocate as the flooding changed the landscape along the Columbia River. Citizen of the Year, Frankie Nunez Lezama, raised in Boardman. The nomination letter defined Frankie as a “cheerleader” for Riverside High School including his devotion as a fan and participant in sport activities. His dedication as a volunteer in community involvement, and a leader in his family business are just some of the reasons for his nomination. Youth Citizen of the Year, Ruby Barrera is a worthy individual to receive this award. Ruby is a Senior at Riverside Jr/Sr High School and the Senior Class President. Her involvement in various school clubs, community events and nonprofit organizations does not deter her from participating in varsity soccer and working a part time job. This college bound student has a list of school associated clubs to
strengthen her resume and is nearing the completion of her Associates Degree. Educator of the Year, Clair Costello, has been a dedicated educator within the Morrow County School District for 30+ years. Mr. Costello’s “go above and beyond” view of education is evident as his focus is the overall success of the student. Mr. Costello is currently the PE teacher, Athletic Director and coach of Boys’ Varsity Basketball, Girls’ Varsity Basketball and Varsity Baseball. His responsibilities kept him from attending the banquet in person, but social media provided the opportunity for Clair to live stream the presentation while at a basketball game in Vale. Business Person of Year, Kimberly Trott of Boardman Beauty Bar, proves that you do not have to be a long-time resident of Boardman to make an impact. Boardman Beauty Bar has been in business since the end of 2016. Kimberly’s support of the Boardman community is well defined from a quote from her Facebook page, “We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our homes to remedy this kind of poverty.” Kimberly acted upon this quote by providing free or lowcost services to the public. She is also involved in a community “mommy’s group”, her church and Boardman Seniors. Boardman’s Fire/Safety of the Year, Marty Broadbent is the Fire Marshall for Boardman Rural Fire Protection District. Marty’s involvement with the Boardman Fire Department goes back to volunteer time with skeleton crews. In addition, the nomination letter mentions that Marty is also a person who cares about people. Marty’s concerns for the elderly has
Pioneer of the year, Shirley Zielinski is surrounded by her kids and Award presenter Barb Russell and Kalie Davis. Photo by Matt Kegler prompted personal home well-care checks on neighbors and others in the community. A quote from the nomination letter, well defines this year’s recipient, “Marty is not a 9 to 5 fireman, he is a 24/7 fireman. He is not just a friend and neighbor, he is also a caring, responsible person. We are truly blessed to have such a person in our community”. To end this year’s banquet, Boardman Chamber raffled several exquisite gift baskets, donated by various chamber entities and auctioned the beautiful floral centerpieces, created by KRISanthemums. Boardman Chamber of Commerce would like to congratulate each of the award winners. All of which are great representatives of the Boardman community. Thank you to everyone that submitted nominations. Boardman has many citizens that are part of what makes
Boardman successful and we look forward to receiving nominations for next year’s banquet. Please keep in mind, a nomination can be turned into the Chamber any time of the year.

Digging will soon begin on upgrades to Boardman’s water and sewer systems. New pipe can be seen stacked along roadways in preparation for the project. Water and sewer upgrades have been in the planning stages since 2014 and will include new water and sewer lines in several areas throughout Boaradman. The upgrades will ensure reliability in the city’s water and wastewater systems and will improve fire flow. In December the city awarded the contract to do the upgrades to Premier Excavation of Pasco, Washington. Sixteen bids were received at the time, with Premier Construction coming in the with the apparent lowest bid of $2,266,119.10. The city’s engineers, Anderson Perry and Associates, has worked with Premier in the past and is pleased to be working with them on this project. The water and sewer upgrades are expected to be completed in October of 2018.

IMESD celebrates February’s Dental Health Month with school-based events
Photo 1 Caption: A Head Start student brushes the teeth of a stuffed dragon during a Dental Learning Lab at the Pendleton Early Learning Center on February 8, 2018. PENDLETON – The month of February is Dental Health Month, but the InterMountain Education Service District (IMESD) is hoping that children in eastern Oregon are thinking about oral health all year round. The IMESD is providing a variety of programs throughout the region through a five-year grant from the Oregon Community Foundation; this is year three of the grant. The programs include dental learning labs in schools, dental screenings, fluoride varnishes, sealants and health education bags for classrooms. In Oregon, oral health issues are the number one reason for school absences. All of the IMESD’s 18 component school districts are participating in the oral health program with one common goal – improving the oral health of students to improve their attendance at school and help them succeed. Cathy Wamsley, project coordinator for IMESD’s oral health programs, said having a healthy mouth is crucial, citing links between poor
oral health and diabetes, heart disease, childhood obesity and even mental health. “The mouth is part of the body and needs to be treated as such. Oral health even affects mental health — if you don’t like your teeth, you don’t want to smile, and that’s a big deal,” Wamsley said. Many children will not share about their tooth or mouth pain, making it difficult for parents to pinpoint what’s wrong, she said. Part of Wamsley’s job is to get schools involved. “It’s been amazing how responsive our schools have been for making oral health a priority. We’ve done a lot of educating students and communities in the region about the importance of good oral health,” Wamsley said. Advantage Dental provides all screenings, fluoride varnishes and sealants at no cost regardless of income or insurance. Referrals are then made to the student’s dental provider or assistance is offered to parents to help find a provider. Dental learning labs are also
taken to community health fairs, library reading times, preschools and other community events. Wamsley has sent materials to a few day cares, too. For older students, programs discuss effects of tobacco use, oral piercings and sports drinks, the importance of mouth guards for sports and careers in dental health. Recently, the oral health programs had a dental learning lab for students at Umatilla-Morrow Head Start at the Pendleton Early Learning Center. Several groups of three- and four-year-olds went through four stations learning about their teeth. At the first station, they used toothbrushes to brush the teeth of friendly dragons with oversized teeth. A toothshaped timer counted out twominute intervals, the time children should spend brushing their own teeth. LEGO blocks and yarn were on hand at the second station for practicing flossing, and the third station featured brushing off “sugar bugs” and brushing on fluoride. The fourth station featured plastic cut-outs of food items, where kids had to decide what was healthy and not so healthy for their teeth. So far during the 2017-18 school year, the program has: Screened 5,798 students and 810 preschoolers Provided fluoride varnish to 2,549 students and 589 preschoolers Applied 1,809 sealants to students Identified untreated decay in 1,069 students and 170 preschoolers The dental learning lab has provided education to 1,524 children. At the learning lab at the Pendleton Early Learning Center, when the preschoolers had completed their stations, they each received a bag containing a toothbrush and toothpaste – and they were all smiles!

A community of health that cares Boardman, Or. - A Local Community Health Center is trying to make a difference in northeast Oregon area with a unique kind of community pharmacy. Columbia River Community Health Services CEO Seth Whitmer, chose the location on 220 S. Main St. In Boardman, Or. to help bring better health care to the underserved communities of Morrow and Umatilla counties by opening an all patient pharmacy. After Good Shepherd closed it services in the Boardman location Whitmer and his team acted quickly leaving only a four-day closing gap from Good Shepherd pharmacy to Columbia River Pharmacy. “The need was there. We’re trying to provide an opportunity, nothing helps a community better than a great Health Center and a Pharmacy.” Whitmer said. Although full establishment of the pharmacy isn’t set to be due until April 7th, 2018 on their grand opening, the pharmacy is currently operating and attending patients. The pharmacy is currently open Monday thru Friday 9a-7p and Saturdays 9a5p. As they finalize the arrangements for the grand opening CEO Seth stated they will be helping the community out by also having a home delivery system of medication to those in need!
According to an article from Forbes, the Healthcare industry is expected to grow and become the largest needed resource during the next decade. “People are wanting to live longer and healthier. Everyone is worried and on medication nowadays,” Marketing Director Jonathan Lopez said. In the past, gaps in the public insurance system and lack of access to affordable private coverage left millions without health insurance. Beginning in 2014, the ACA expanded coverage to millions of previously uninsured people through the expansion of Medicaid and the establishment of Health Insurance Marketplaces. Data show substantial gains in public and private insurance coverage and historic decreases in uninsured rates under the ACA. Coverage gains were particularly large among low-income people living in states that expanded Medicaid. Still, millions of people—27.6 million in 2016— remained uninsured. Most uninsured people are in low-income families and have at least one worker in the family. Reflecting the more limited availability of public coverage in some states, adults are more likely to be uninsured than children. People without insurance coverage have worse access to care than people who are insured.
One in five uninsured adults in 2016 went without needed medical care due to cost. Studies repeatedly demonstrate that the uninsured are less likely than those with insurance to receive preventive care and services for major health conditions and chronic diseases. Columbia River Health is moving forward with a great vision and passion to help anyone and everyone in need. Regardless of their age, race, or gender, they are here to serve and provide the help! The average income for households in northeast Oregon is around $36,536 a year. “That’s a concern for my community. We need to make the difference in people’s lives one day at a time, you meet people and hear their stories. That brings a smile to your face and a warm heart.” Lopez said. Columbia River Pharmacy is your one stop pharmacy, conveniently located inside your Boardman Harvest foods. They are a team of individuals working hard to meet and exceed the community’s expectations. Being a completely new pharmacy means various challenges, that they are happy to take on. They are friendly and more than willing to help The Community obtain their medications at little to no cost. They’ll greet you with a smile, y Hablan Español!
The Eastern Oregon Healthy Living Alliance receives funding to improve colon cancer screenings in Morrow, Sherman, and Gilliam Counties The project is one of several recently funded through the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute Community Partnership Program: https:// news.ohsu.edu/2018/01/11/ohsuknight-cancer-institutes-community-partnership-program-reaches2-million-funding-milestone Lakeview, OR (February 19, 2018) – Eastern Oregon Healthy Living Alliance (EOHLA) received $50,000 from the Knight Cancer Institute at Oregon Health & Science University to improve colorectal cancer screening rates in eastern Oregon by promoting and increasing screening participation of Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) kits, which are recommended annually for adults aged 50-75. The project will be provided in 3 frontier counties within eastern Oregon, including Morrow, Sherman, and Gilliam counties. Participating clinics and health organizations include the Columbia River Health Services, Morrow County Health District, Sherman County Medical Clinic, and the North Gilliam County Health District. Additionally, EOHLA will partner with Community Advisory Councils in each county to coordinate and support activities to outreach to the target population. The project aims to decrease risks related to colorectal cancer related illness and death in eastern Oregon through early detection by providing colon cancer screening health education, outreach, and promotion to improve screening rates in participating counties. Outreach activities, materials, and messages are informed by local preferences identified through five focus groups that were conducted in 2016 pertaining to effective colorectal cancer outreach practices in eastern Oregon counties. Outreach efforts will include small and mass media, group education, and clinic sponsored direct mail. According to the Oregon Health
Authority, “Colorectal cancer is preventable. Routine screening can reduce deaths through the early diagnosis and removal of precancerous polyps. Screening saves lives, but only if people get tested.” One in three (36 percent) Oregonians ages 50-75 are not being screened as recommended. Colorectal cancer screening rates in eastern Oregon are lower than Oregon’s statewide rate. In 2016, the eastern Oregon screening rate average was 7% below the region wide benchmarks of 39%. Additionally, the lack of screenings results in higher rates of mortality for the eastern Oregon population compared to Oregon statewide. “EOHLA is committed to delivering strategies that improve community health throughout the entire region”, stated Andrea Fletcher, EOHLA co-founder and board member representing Morrow County. “With the shifting emphasis in the healthcare system toward prevention practices to help keep people healthy, screenings, such as colon cancer screenings, can prevent many serious illnesses before they occur.” The project is funded through the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute Community Partnership Program. This program is designed to build sustainable collaborations with Oregon communities by providing grants PO Box 1230 Lakeview, OR 97630 Tel: 541.219.0907 jadams@gobhi.net and other resources to foster development of community-identified cancer prevention, early detection, treatment and survivorship projects. The OHSU Knight Cancer Institute has made a decade-long commitment to invest in this program to develop robust, sustainable programs that benefit the health of all Oregonians. Additional information about the program is available on the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute’s website.

She passed away in her home on Saturday February 17, 2018 at the age of 75. Jane grew up in Corvallis, Oregon where she attended school through her Junior year. She then moved to Portland where she
graduated from Wilson High School in the early 1960’s. She lived in the Portland area for several years until moving to Boardman in 1978. She worked as a cook for Riverside High School and Sam Boardman Elementary School for twenty three years. She also worked many other part time jobs in the area. Jane was a member of the Boardman First Baptist Church and she was the cofounder of the Thanksgiving Celebration Dinner in Boardman. Jane was also a charter member of Boardman Fire Corps. She was easy to get to know any made many lasting friendships. For many years Jane delivered The Oregonian newspaper. A route that should have taken forty-five minutes often took hours as she stopped and greeted her many friends along the way. She loved spending time with her family especially her grandchildren.
Jane married Ivan R. Akers on March 9, 1978. She was preceded in death by her husband, Ivan and both of her parents. She is survived by her daughter, Suzanne (David) Gray; son, Glen (Annie) Whitson; brother, Al (Bev) Grantham; sister, Grace Grantham; grandchildren, Shawn Akers, Nick and Zach Whitson and Josh and Ari’el Gray.

Letter to the Editor January 31, 2018 Community College request supports local economy Blue Mountain Community College is joining Oregon’s 16 other community colleges in a legislative request that will allow it to maintain momentum in supporting students to complete their programs and prepare more people for local jobs. The alternative could be cuts in student services and other programs, or larger increases in tuition. Both slow down our mission to prepare local people to contribute to the economic vitality and cultural richness of our community. It is clear that no one – including our legislators – intended for this situation to occur. Last July, the legislature added $70 million to Public University Support Fund to limit tuition increases and maintain student support at fouryear schools, and $6 million in state funds were added to the Community College Support Fund for the same purpose. Unfortunately, the amount for community college was $32 million short of accomplishing the same level of support for community college students as compared to students at four-year universities. It forces most community colleges to choose between large tuition increases or significant cuts to programs and services.
Macario’s Mexican
The community college funding formula is complicated, relying on revenues from both state and local sources. It is possible that some confusion about this contributed to the situation as the state budget came together at the 11th hour last July. Now we need action by the Legislature during its 35-day session, which begins Feb. 5, so that community college students – and our communities – do not suffer a setback to local economic prosperity and student success. A recent Emsi study has shown that for every $1.00 invested in an education at BMCC provides a $3.70 return on investment to a student over their working career – that’s a greater economic return to local communities than any other public investment. Community colleges work in partnership with K-12, four-year universities, and local industries to ensure the best outcomes for both students and the community. A $32 million statewide investment in community colleges will pay huge dividends in momentum for our local economy. Please ask our local legislators to support BMCC and community colleges in Oregon.

Memory Quilts - Ties That Bind
Shannon and Dave Paxton of Hermiston stand in front of a quilt that the Boardman Quilt Group made for their daughter. The Paxton’s will give their daughter the quilt when she graduates from nursing school. The Boardman Quilt Group is known for their community service. How do you pass your family memories and traditions to younger generations? Photo albums, games, recycling grandparents clothing and recipe collections are used by some families. An increasingly popular technique is incorporating family memories in a quilt. One Hermiston family collected all the t-shirts, sweatshirts, and team jackets from their daughter’s school and sports activities. They were not sure how they would use the 100+ garments in one project. They just knew they had to make a decision before their daughter graduated with her RN degree this June. Their goal: a lifetime of memories and stories embedded into a project for the next step of the daughter’s life. While the parents were pondering the future, the 2017 Boardman Quilt Show was in the news. Putting two events together the parents came up with the concept of a memory quilt made of the tee shirt/
jacket collection. Not owning a sewing machine or any sewing experience, they contacted a member of the Boardman Quilt Group to see if they would be willing to design and create a memory quilt as a service project.. Boardman Quilt Group has a long history of Quilt related Community Service projects. Supporting American Military with: Santa Stockings for Marines in serving in the Middle East; American Hero Quilts; Quilts of Valor; Comfort Quilts for nursing home residents and children removed from dangerous surroundings by local law enforcement; quilts sent to Canadian communities devastated by Forest Fires; and quilts for Scholarship Raffles. The quilt group does not solicit commissions. One member, Marie Cornell, said she would be willing to give it a try, if another member would do the hand work. Kathy Hyder agreed to hand sew
the binding on the queen size quilt. Quilt group members weighed in with comments and suggestions on a regular basis. The family contributed the plethora of tee shirts. Quilt group members contributed batting, backing, thread, time and skills. Marie Cornell combined selections from 42 tee shirts for the quilt top and backing, and machine quilted the quilt. At last, it was finished: The 100’ X 92’ size was a perfect Queen Size Quilt. The family was beyond thrilled. “Marie my dream came true,” said the dad, a stage 4 cancer patient.” I want to live long enough to see our daughter complete her nursing studies and receive the Memory Quilt.” Does someone in your family has a tee –shirt memory quilt? Consider exhibiting it at the 2018 Fall Boardman Quilt Show, October 12 & 13, at the Boardman Senior Center. Now is the perfect time to tie family memories together!
