He has served on the City of Boardman Budget Committee, board member of Boardman Community Development Association, Morrow County Parks Committee, Morrow County Tourism Committee and is the longest serving board member of Columbia River Health. Ted turned a penpal relationship with a girl from the Ukraine into a lifelong commitment when he married Tanya in 1996. “She had to get an exit visa to join me in Boardman,” he says. “That turned into quite an ordeal!” Tanya settled into Boardman, becoming a United States citizen, studied to become a registered nurse, which added to her three other degrees in accounting, lab technology and library science. She has worked in the Labor & Delivery department at Good Shepherd Hospital since 2005. Working at the Park District meant many seven days per week hours, but Ted always looked forward to his extended vacation time during the winters, when park activities slowed down. “I love to travel,” he laughed. “so Tanya and I have planned and taken many adventures throughout the years.” Some of the travels they have taken (besides numerous trips to Ukraine to visit her parents) have been to Greece, Italy, Mexico, Egypt, Fiji, French Polynesia, France, Belgium, Canada, China, Spain and Indonesia. “We’ve traveled to 26 different countries,” he says, and I’d like to go to another hundred countries,” laughs Ted. The Lieurances purchased a home in Vancouver, Washington in 2017, looking ahead to retirement. They rented out the house, luckily to one couple the entire time, until last Novem-
ber. The Lieurances are repainting, recarpeting and undergoing some remodeling on their home, which they will move to when Ted retires from the District June 30th. The couple has enjoyed their boating on the Columbia River around Boardman, and intend to visit the lakes and rivers near
Vancouver when they move. The Park District is interviewing applicants for District Manager, and hope to have the right person hired before Ted retires. The community will miss Ted’s positive outlook and involvement in the area. Best of luck to the Lieurances!

As of 02/22/22, the Boardman Fire Rescue District was notified by Morrow County Sheriff Ken Matlack; the Morrow County Sheriff ’s Office was immediately ceasing to dispatch the Boardman Fire Rescue District on any medical (EMS) calls within the Fire District. Since 3/16/2020, The Boardman Fire Rescue District has responded to 630 fire calls, and an additional 814 EMS calls. EMS calls are at no additional cost to taxpayers and residents within the Fire District. The Boardman Fire Rescue District requires all fulltime firefighters to be state licensed Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) or higher. This practice has permitted the Fire District to utilize the full-time firefighters as EMS providers. The Boardman Fire Rescue District maintains highly trained staff which provides 24 hour, 7 days a week service from the Boardman fire station and additional staffing is augmented by volunteer firefighters/EMTs. The Boardman Fire Rescue District has set and maintained a mini-
mum response time of 90 seconds or less for staff to be enroute to emergency calls,
from the Boardman station. This allows the Fire District to provide the highest level of care and assistance to the community in times of emergency or crisis. Boardman Fire Rescue District Chief Hughes was advised the reason the Sheriff ’s Office was immediately ceasing to dispatch Boardman Fire Rescue District to EMS calls was due to a complaint that the EMS
Coordinator, Donna Sherman, of the Morrow County Health District had with the way BFD personnel provided medical treatment to a patient. However, neither Sheriff Matlack nor Donna Sherman have been willing to provide sufficient details for the Fire District to investigate this complaint. The Boardman Fire Rescue District is not managed by the Morrow County Sheriff ’s Office or the Morrow County Health District. The Boardman Fire District is managed by the elected board of directors and answers to the community of taxpayers in which they serve. The Boardman Fire Rescue District is diligently trying to work out the issues at hand, in order to continue to provide the best emergency medical care when seconds matter. Public safety and patient care is our highest priority. Sincerely, Boardman Fire Rescue District Board Members

Title III grant brings $2.5M for student services to Eastern Oregon University LA GRANDE, Ore. – As classes began last fall, Eastern Oregon University had something extra to celebrate. The university was notified in late September that it had been awarded a $2.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education. The Title III funding is a Strengthening Institutions Grant, paid out at $450,000 each year for five years, with the initial distribution received in fall 2021. “This is a significant, substantial grant for a university like EOU because it’s five years long and the amount of money that comes to EOU allows us to follow through with the things we know we need to do,” said Nate Lowe, Dean of the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences who is also acting as interim grant director. Funds are to be used for academic quality, institutional management and fiscal stability. He said the broad support of this particular grant removes some of the constraints that small, regional universities like EOU tend to face. “A Title III grant like this can be transformational for a campus like ours because it’s integrational across campus,” Lowe said. “It’s not only a financial boost, but it creates an opportunity for the institution to work together.” A new, comprehensive student success program, called
BRIDGES, will take shape thanks to grant funds. Leaders from across the university collaborated to apply for the grant, and will continue their interdisciplinary work to implement a range of resources, from faculty-led math tutoring, to expanded diversity and equity efforts, to new staff positions. This integrated approach is united in its aim to increase retention and graduation, thereby improving student success and ensuring the university’s fiscal stability when the grant funding ends. “There are dozens and dozens of faculty and staff on this campus who are directly connected to this grant and its activities, out to every corner of campus,” Lowe said. “It’s meant to create collaboration and interconnection of the work that we do in order to support students.” Initiatives driven by this grant seek intentionally to break down barriers and increase collaboration for the benefit of students. BRIDGES contains six distinct areas of focus: enhanced academic advising, math and English courses designed to bring students up to college level, experiential learning curriculum for every degree program, comprehensive First Year Experience for incoming students, improved degree planning systems, and cultivated a sense of belonging
backed by a new Associate Vice President for Diversity, Inclusion, Equity and Belonging. The university is in the process of hiring the associate vice president, who will serve as grant director for the Title III funds and oversee the creation of a Center for Diversity, Inclusion, Equity and Belonging at EOU. “This is the anchor of the entire grant,” Lowe said. “The funds allow us to invest in additional personnel to enhance student support, especially for those who are underrepresented or underprepared and those who have bigger roadblocks to success.” Some of the work has already begun, while other aspects are still taking shape. Lowe anticipates a growing number of opportunities for university departments, employees and stakeholders to get involved. It’s been eight months since EOU’s Provost convened a cross-campus team to spend several weeks working with consultants to apply for a highly competitive Title III grant. Already, it’s abundantly clear that these funds have potential to transform the student experience at EOU. “It’s really a gift to students today and in the future,” Lowe said. “We will be a better institution because of this and on the other side of it.”

MCSD School Board votes to place $138 million bond on May ballot (Morrow County) – On Monday evening, February 14 th, the Morrow County School District School Boarad made it official – the district is going out for a bond in May 2022. The School Board voted at their regular meeting to place a General Obligation Bond Measure on the May 17th ballot. The board and district have been planning the bond for quite some time. The MCSD Long-Range Facilities/Bond Planning Committee has been working on the District Facilities Plan since 2015, with more than 50 Morrow County committee members participating. If passed, the proposed bond measure would fund projects in all three communities the district serves — Boardman, Heppner and Irrigon. Projects would be completed at all of the district’s eight schools and at the District Office. Proposed bond projects include: · New secure entries and offices · Additions to and remodels of existing schools · Heating, ventilation and air
conditioning (HVAC) system updates · Additional student spaces · Separation of Jr/Sr High student spaces · Reconfigured traffic and parking · Additional building access for people with disabilities · Increased technology infrastructure Superintendent Dirk Dirksen said the school board and the district will be sharing information about the bond in the next few months, including flyers mailed to voters, an explanatory video and information on the district website and Facebook page. “We want to ensure that our district families and communities are informed about what this bond would mean at their schools and for the success of all students at MCSD,” Dirksen said. If passed, the proposed bond measure would raise $138 million, and MCSD would be awarded a matching grant from the Oregon School Capital Improvement Matching (OSCIM) Program of $4 million. A total
of $142 million would be available for proposed projects. “Having the OSCIM grant as a match is a good opportunity for the district to receive additional funds for projects,” Dirksen said. If the proposed measure passes, the bond would mature in 20 years or less and the bond rate would be an estimated $2.67 per $1,000 of assessed property value, although the actual levy rate may differ. If the proposed measure passes, it is estimated that a taxpayer who owns a house assessed at $200,000 would pay approximately $534 per year. If the proposed bond measure does not pass, the grant money would not be received from the state, the proposed projects would not be completed and tax rates would not increase. For more information about the bond, please visit the district website at www.morrow.k12.or.us or contact Dirk Dirksen, Superintendent, at 541-676-5705, dirk.dirksen@morrow.k12.or.us.

Umatilla Electric to install updated meters beginning March in Boardman New automated meters to help improve electric distribution will be deployed by UEC over the coming months in the Boardman area. In an initial phase beginning in March, Allegiant Utility Services technicians will replace existing meters at about 1,000 residences and other service locations south of the freeway at Boardman. During meter installations, disruption to members should be minimal. On the day of the replacement, members can expect to briefly lose

power as a technician makes the switch. In addition, your next electric utility bill may show two meter readings: one from the old meter and one from the new meter. The new automated meters will help UEC’s ongoing efforts to improve service reliability. In recent years, UEC has upgraded its control and data systems, outage management and field equipment to help operators at its command center in Hermiston more quickly detect and respond to outages with accu-
rate location prediction, reducing the need to send a crew to manually check miles of power lines. The new meters build upon that system. Initially, meter replacements were scheduled to begin in UEC service areas east of Pendleton, but winter conditions have postponed deployment at those service locations. For more information about Umatilla Electric’s meter replacement project, please call UEC at (541) 567-6414.

Umatilla Electric investing in a thriving community Umatilla Electric Cooperative’s planned Wilson Lane Improvement Project will replace 43 aging poles and approximately 1.8 miles of line along Wilson Lane in south Boardman, between the intersections of Olson road and Paul Smith road. This project will offer additional reliability measures that will provide an increase in capacity and assist in outage restoration. The construction will be rebuilding the current distribution line by re-
placing the existing poles and wire with taller poles and new, heavier conductor. Construction is scheduled for March through June of 2022. UEC is working hard to minimize the impacts while identifying system improvements and to keep the affected community informed as the project progresses through construction. Careful consideration is taken to increase the benefits our members, partners and the community experience. For the

Obituaries God has welcomed home an incredible son and brother, an amazing father, and a great uncle, cousin and friend to so many others. Ryan Dee Neal, 40, passed away Tuesday January 18, 2022, at Providence St. Vincent, Portland, OR due to COVID complications. Ryan was born September 30, 1981, in Clarkston, Washington to Gary and Kathy Neal. At 7-1/2 years younger than sister Rochelle, his mission as a brother was to tease and love her as much as possible. The family lived in Clarkston until the second half of Ryan’s third grade year when his father accepted a position in Boardman, Oregon. On his first day of school there Ryan was immediately welcomed by his classmates. A tight knit group of friends bonded together and to this day, “The Boardman Boys” keep in touch on a regular basis. Ryan had not just his own family, but his friend’s families became his as well. Ryan loved and participated in many sports – football in middle school, baseball until high school, and he lettered in golf and basketball. The highlight of his senior year at Riverside High School was the basketball team’s third place finish at state with Ryan and all his many close friends playing together. Golf continued to be a huge part of Ryan’s adult life. Ryan had just recently retired the Walla Walla Community College golf bag he received as a member of their golf team. We have many happy memories with Ryan. Lots of family time tubing and boarding on the river, snow skiing, family reunions, times when he tagged along with his Dad to meetings and conferences and too many others to list. Some of our most special memories are from our trips in the car with Ryan. Those living in eastern Oregon and small towns will understand. Our family spent a large part of our days on the road – to shop, to play sports, to go to movies, to do so many things. We feel blessed to have shared those times with him. After high school graduation Ryan attended the University of Portland, Walla Walla Community College, and graduated with a Business Management degree from Oregon State Uni-
March 4, 2022 versity in 2004. He was proud to be a Beaver alumnus. Ryan loved his time and professors in the OSU business department. They thought highly enough of Ryan that he was asked to give campus tours to potential incoming professors. The family has heard from so many how smart Ryan was. His friends on campus noticed too. They lamented that they studied for days before an exam, yet Ryan would study for 2 hours the night before and ace it. Ryan connected with his future wife Sonja during this time. Sonja lived in Irrigon, the town closest to Boardman, but they did not know each other well until their college years. Immediately upon college graduation, Ryan went to work for Knight Transportation, working his way up to operations manager and west coast marketing manager. Ryan and Sonja were living in Manteca, CA when Ryan accepted the position in 2012 as Director of Operations for Haney Truck Lines in Yakima, WA. While living in Yakima, the forever love of Ryan’s life, Ari Dee Neal, was born. Ryan and Ari’s love for each other was like no other. Every possible moment was spent together enjoying everything from swimming to hot tubbing, movies, golf, visiting Coeur d’Alene, and most of all, snuggling together on the couch. In 2014 Marten Transportation lured Ryan away from Haney Truck Lines when he became their Area Sales Director for the Pacific Northwest region. When the Port of Morrow established a freezer warehouse operation in his hometown of Boardman, Ryan and Sonja were thrilled at the chance to come home to raise their son in the town they loved. Ryan was hired in 2015 as Operations Manager and the family moved to Boardman. In October 2018, after an extensive search and interview process, the Port of Morrow hired Ryan as their Executive Director/CEO. Ryan’s love for his community and desire to help it continue to be an amazing place to work and raise a family was endless. His hand can be seen in many ways, from the directional signs around town to the refresh and transformation of Willow Run Golf Course into the Marker 40 Golf Course.
Ryan was a valued member of many organizations and committees – Kiwanis, Boardman Chamber, Boardman Community Development Association, Intermountain Education Service District and others. Many, many people have reached out to Ryan’s family to share their stories about Ryan and the positive influence he was in their lives. He had a huge heart, cared deeply, and mattered so much to so many. Knowing how Ryan touched others is helping his family as they grieve. The world is a better place because of him, he will be missed deeply and remembered always. Ryan is survived by Ryan Dee Neal his parents, Gary and Kathy, son Ari, Sonja, sister beloved Grandpa and Grandma Rochelle (Tim) and their chil- Neal, Uncle Edd, Uncle Leo, dren, Grandpa and Grandma Grandpa and Grandma Olson, uncles Scott, Mike, Dale, Hancock and Aunt Karen.

A Ryan Neal Memorial Fund has been established through Boardman Community Development Association, P O Box 229, Boardman, OR 97818. Ryan had been working hard to establish a Morrow County Scholarship endowment fund so that all Morrow County graduates would receive a scholarship to be used for higher education. He was also working with other community members to reestablish the RHS golf team as well as a youth golf program. Memorial funds would go towards these efforts and other community needs as they arise. Due to COVID restrictions no services will be held at this time. Plans are to hold a celebration of life at Marker 40 Golf Course after the weather warms up. Details will be publicized at that time. Sweeney Mortuary of Heppner is in care of arrangements.

BARRY CHARLES BEYELER June 10, 1956 – February 15, 2022 Barry Beyeler was born in Norfolk, Nebraska June 10th, 1956. He grew up mostly in Nebraska and Colorado, but moved frequently as his father pursued his career. Barry always desired a place to plant his
roots, to call a home, and a community to be a part of. In 1978, Boardman, Oregon became that place. Then in December 1980, Jim Thompson – City Manager, hired Barry as a backhoe operator for the city Public Works Department. Five City Managers, 13 Mayors, numerous city councils, and 42 years later he was still serving the City of Boardman as the Community Development Director. Karen Pettigrew, current City Manager said she knew Barry all those years to be “a faithful, dedicated employee of the City of Boardman.” During his tenure, Barry served not only his community, but the State of Oregon as well. He was a long-time member of the American Water Works Association and League of Oregon Cities. He served as a volunteer for the Oregon Hanford Clean-up Board (2005-2008). In 2008, Barry was appointed to the U.S. Department of Energy’s Hanford Advisory Board. Throughout 2010-2019, he was in the service of the Energy Facilities Siting Council (EFSC) during which he was appointed Vice Chair (2013-
March 4, 2022
2015) and Chair (2015-2019) by the Governor of the State of Oregon. Todd Cornett, Assistant Director of Siting at Oregon Department of Energy wrote he worked closely with Barry on EFSC and will miss him greatly. “Even after his time on EFSC, I spoke with him at least monthly.” What Barry loved most about living in Boardman was being part of a community that was like family. Over the years he participated in all things “community” from being on the volunteer EMT and Fire Departments to numerous public events, especially 4th of July. Lynn Prag, co-publisher of the North Morrow County Times wrote, “Barry was involved in everything to do with improving life in Boardman, and he was always smiling and so cheerful about it. He enjoyed small town life, from playing softball to a front row seat at Music in the Park. He was so enthusiastic about everything, we will miss him.” Barry could often be found at high school sporting events, even after his daughter’s graduation in 1995. Barry was a caring, stubborn, compassionate, and political man with a deep love of country, community, nature, and family. He enjoyed many hobbies; sports fan, poet, amateur geologist, singer, historian, and so many others. His greatest love was being a father to Brandy and grandfather to Tyler. Barry Charles Beyeler passed away suddenly on Tuesday February 15th, 2022. He is survived by his daughter and son-in-law Brandy & Jerod Alexander, grandson Tyler Alexander, stepmother Beverly Beyeler, brother and sister-inlaw Craig & Lori Beyeler, sister Malia Beyeler, stepsister and brother-in-law Suzy & Mike Johnson, stepsister Luanne Smith, and multiple nieces, nephews, aunts, and cousins. He was preceded in death by his mother Joyce (Jorgensen) Beyeler, father Robert Beyeler, and sister-inlaw Charlotte. A public service is to be scheduled for April 2022 with date, time, and location to be provided separately. In lieu of flowers or cards, donations can be made to one of the following the Barry Beyeler Memorial Fund c/o Brandy Alexander at any Banner Bank location, any organization supporting military members and their families, and/or a donation of blood to the American Red Cross.

Land Conservation and Development Commission appoints committee SALEM (February 4, 2022) – The Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) and the Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC) has announced appointments to the state’s Local Officials Advisory Committee (LOAC). Membership includes elected officials from both urban and rural cities and counties and reflect the geographic diversity of the state. The LOAC is a group of city and county elected officials, appointed by the Land Conservation and Development Commission who advise and assist LCDC and the DLCD on its policies and programs affecting local governments. The committee was established in 1973 by Senate Bill 100, the law that created Oregon’s statewide planning program.Purpose:· To promote open, effective communications among LCDC, DLCD, and local governments, including an exchange of ideas concerning the local implementation of the statewide land use planning program.· To advise and assist LCDC and DLCD in implementing and improving the statewide land use planning program as it pertains to local government.· To provide a forum for input on the department’s activities, policy development, and programs for local governments.· To ensure that LCDC is aware of the impact of proposed department activities and policy development on local
governments.The committee’s mission, purpose and goals:· To promote mutual understanding and cooperation between LCDC, DLCD and local governments in implementing the statewide land use planning system.· To advise and assist LCDC and DLCD by providing a forum for local government officials to be involved in the formation of statewide land use policy and decisions that have local impact; providing feedback, after study and assessment, of the impact of land use policy decisions on local communities.· Make land use planning more effective by fostering support and respect for local planning efforts and improved communication; assisting in the development of agency strategic plans and the allocation of biennial budget resources; assisting in the formation of any statewide planning goal amendments and agency policy guidelines.The newly appointed LOAC members will serve a two-year term and include:Ms. Melissa Lindsay, Commissioner, Morrow CountyMr. Colm Willis, Commissioner, Marion CountyMs. Nancy Wyse, Commissioner, Benton CountyMr. Rory Bialostocky, Councilor, City of West LinnMs. Catherine Biscoe, Councilor, City of PhilomathMr. Ray Smith, Mayor, City of Coburg ”I am really looking forward to working with the new members of LOAC,” said Commissioner Kaety Jacobson, commission li-
aison to LOAC, “and thank all of them for being willing to help DLCD work on issues important to Oregon and its community members.”The group plan to hold their first meeting this spring. Oregon’s statewide land use planning program — originated in 1973 under Senate Bill 100 — protects farm and forest lands, conserves natural resources, promotes livable communities, facilitates orderly and efficient development, helps coordination among local governments, and enables citizen involvement. The program affords all Oregonians predictability and sustainability to the development process by allocating land for homes and jobs, as well as transportation and agriculture. The Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) administers the program. A seven-member volunteer citizen board known as the Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC) guides DLCD. Under the program, all cities and counties have adopted comprehensive plans that meet mandatory state standards. The standards are 19 Statewide Planning Goals that deal with land use, development, housing, transportation, and conservation of natural resources. Periodic review of plans and technical assistance in the form of grants to local jurisdictions are key elements of the program.
