BMCC has ribbon cutting April 27
Have you made plans for where you’ll watch the Solar Eclipse on August 21st? Visit the website: http:// www.greatamericaneclipse.com for lots of information!
Blue Mountain Community College celebrated the opening of the Workforce Training Center, the first of three major bond-funded construction projects to be completed, during an open house and ribboncutting ceremony on Thursday, April 27. The event was open to the public, and included a ribbon-cutting with the Boardman Chamber of Commerce, comments from BMCC President Cam Preus and Board Chair Chris Brown, refreshments, tours of the facility and an appearance by Timber, BMCC’s Timberwolf mascot. In addition, the College dedicated the “Carlson Room”, a conference room named after Louie and Betty Carlson of Heppner, who have contributed many years of service and volunteerism to BMCC, as well as Morrow County. Louie Carlson is a former Morrow County judge, and his wife, Betty, served many years with the BMCC Foundation. The Workforce Training Center, adjacent to the SAGE Center on Olson Road in Boardman, replaces the former BMCC Morrow County Center, which was located just down the road. The facility not only offers general and community education courses, but also houses BMCC’s Data Center Technician,
Industrial Systems Technologies and Early Childhood Education programs. The Workforce Training Center is the first of three major construction projects to reach completion. Voters approved a $23 million bond in May 2015 to construct the facility, as well as build a Precision Irrigated Agriculture Facility in Hermiston and an updated agriculture center on the Pendleton campus, known as the Facility for Agricultural Resource Management (FARM). The Precision Irrigated
Agriculture facility, located on Oregon State University Hermiston Agricultural Research and Education Center property, is set for completion this June, with a grand opening on June 29. The FARM is slated for completion in September. Other improvements funded by the bond were completed on the Pendleton campus last summer, and additional upgrades will be made this summer for renovated student use spaces, safety and security improvements, and HVAC/ electrical updates.

Cattle Barons Weekend announces Legacy Award winner PENDLETON, Ore. – Anderson Land and Livestock, Inc. of Pilot Rock, Oregon is the Legacy Award recipient for the 10th Anniversary of Pendleton Cattle Barons Weekend. A family affair Anderson Land and Livestock is a fourth generation livestock operation that tracks its beginnings in Umatilla County to the early 1940’s. First started by Red Anderson, now running the operation are Red’s son Terry and Terry’s wife Debby, along with their daughter and son-in-law Shana and Justin Bailey and their son Corey and wife Makenzie. Shanna and Justin’s children Easton and Ali are involved in the ranch as well helping their parents with a subsidiary ranch horse operation. Like any livestock and ranch op-
eration Anderson Land has faced challenging times in the last 70 years with its current operation supporting a herd of approximately 500 mother cows. “Terry Anderson is very passionate about be-
ing a progressive cattle producer.” stated Andy Vanderplaat, president of the board of directors for Cattle Barons “We are proud to recognize Terry and his family for the commitment it takes to maintain a ranching heritage.” Vanderplaat noted that this commitment includes Anderson Land’s active participation in the Oregon
Cattlemen’s Association and support of the Cattle Baron’s scholarship program. As the Legacy Award winner, Anderson Land adds to the celebration of Cattle Barons Weekend, a Mother’s Day weekend event held May 12th and 13th in Pendleton, Oregon. The weekend in full is supported by Lucas Oil and features a Western Select Horse sale of superior geldings from around the Pacific Northwest, a ranch rodeo, and a one night of Stock Saddle Bronc Championship competition. Attracting national attention this year, the Tooled Leather Competition and Bit, Spur and Engraving Contest will include entries from as far away as Texas and Missouri. More information about the Pendleton Cattle Baron’s Weekend scholarship programs and the events of the May weekend can be found on https:// www.cattlebarons.net/

How to get started gardening Choosing a garden site is as important as selecting the vegetables to grow in it. All vegetables need sunlight and fertile, well-drained soil, and they will contract fewer diseases if the site has good ventilation. Place the garden so it will be convenient to plant, care for, and harvest. Protect the garden site from invading insects or animals. Few of us are lucky enough to have the ideal garden site. You might find that the perfect place for your sweet corn is along the back fence, where it becomes a backdrop for dahlias. Or the sunniest site for chard or beets may be along the sidewalk entry. Innovative gardeners will find spaces that fit their plants’ needs. First, select for sunlight. An open, south-facing, gradual slope is best, but at least look for a shadefree place. All vegetables need a minimum of six hours of sunshine. Less will cause the plants to be weak and spindly no matter how much care you give them. Next, get to know your soil. Good gardening soil warms early in the spring, is loamy enough to provide oxygen to the roots of growing plants, holds water for several days, and is fertile enough to grow a good crop of weeds. Early warming is related to drainage. Poorly drained soil remains wet and cold late into the spring, making it difficult to grow earlyseason vegetables.
If your soil is heavy and remains wet long after rain has stopped, consider using raised beds or installing drainage. Raised beds will not only be better drained, they also will warm earlier. An indication of the general fertility of your garden soil is its natural vegetation. The healthier the weeds or grass growing on the site, the better the soil will be for vegetables. Try to locate your garden away from trees and large shrubs. The roots from nearby woody plants will take nutrients and water away from your vegetables. Avoid placing the garden where there is little air movement. A natural breeze helps prevent foliage diseases. Stagnant, humid, warm air creates ideal conditions for problems such as tomato blight, mildew on squash, or mold on green beans. Place your garden where it will be easy to care for. If you have to drag a 50-foot hose to water, it becomes a chore. Because Oregon’s vegetable-growing season coincides with the dry season, you may need to water frequently. If irrigation is time-consuming, your enthusiasm about gardening can fade quickly. The most useful garden site is near the kitchen so the cook can move fresh vegetables quickly to the dinner table. Nothing beats the flavor of corn picked minutes before dinner

Boardman hosts low cost rabies clinic and offers free dog licensing The City of Boardman is reminding pet owners of the need to keep their dogs and cats current on their rabies vaccinations. This year they will host a low-cost rabies vaccination clinic given by Dr. Burgess of Country Animal Hospital. Rabies is a fatal disease of the brain and spinal cord, caused by a virus carried by mammals. Vaccinating dogs and cats against rabies is essential in protecting loved ones and halting the spread of the disease. This low-cost rabies vaccination event kicks off on Saturday, May 13th, from 1:30pm to 3:30pm at the Boardman City Park. The cost of the rabies vaccination is $20 per pet. Along with the vaccinations, the City will offer free dog licensing. All dog owners who reside in the city limits of Boardman are required to have their dog licensed for identification purposes. For more information, please call Boardman Animal Control Officer Jose Fernandez at 541-481-9252

Riverside students were able to spend the day with Dr. Adam Moreno, a La Grande native who was recently awarded a NASA fellowship at the Ames Research Center in California to develop a computer model for forecaasting forest health. Dr. Moreno shared with students his experiences as a Hispanic student from rural Oregon as he navigated higher education. During his presentation the topics of careers in STEM, ecology, and computer science were also discussed.
Adolescent Well Care Exams encouraged by school districts Morrow County and Ione School Districts strongly encourage you to schedule an adolescent well care (AWC) exam appointment beginning June 1, and throughout the summer months to be prepared for fall sport season and the upcoming school year. For student athletes, the exam includes the OSAA evaluation for sport/activity participation. Morrow County Health District and Columbia River Community Health Services will be providing exams through appointment only and not providing open “sport physical” days. Who provides the AWC exam? Make a student appointment (ages 11-21) for an adolescent well care exam at a local Morrow County health clinic. If the patient has insurance, the insurance will be billed, and the balance, if any, will not be charged to the patient. There will be no cost to you. Columbia River Community Health Services, Boardman (541) 481-7212 Pioneer Memorial Clinic, Heppner (541) 676-5504 Ione Community Clinic (541) 422-7128
Irrigon Medical Clinic (541) 922-5880. Why are wellness exams important? Physical, social and emotional changes during adolescence increase the need for continuous, comprehensive preventive services and adolescents are laying the foundation for lifestyle and behaviors that persist into adulthood. The American Medical Association’s Guidelines for Adolescent Preventive Services, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Bright Futures
Guidelines, and the American Academy of Pediatrics all recommend comprehensive annual check-ups for adolescents. Adolescents who can easily access preventive health services are more likely to be healthy and able to reach milestones such as high school graduation, entry into the work force, higher education or military service. What can you expect during an exam? During an adolescent well care exam, the health care professional conducts a risk and strength assessment, listens to parent and youth concerns, conducts necessary screening and provides guidance on key health promotion priorities such as family support, healthy weight, nutrition and physical activity, mental health, healthy growth and development, safety and injury prevention, and oral health. The exam will include, if necessary, an evaluation for clearance to participate in sports/activities and completion of the required OSAA form. For assistance with transportation, please contact the CARE Team at 541-481-4200.

Karla began working at CRCHS a little over a year ago as a Receptionist and has since been promoted to Electronic Medical Record Specialist.

Kiwanis change location and time for their meeting on the third Thursday of each month Due to lack of attendance during the morning meetings, the Boardman Kiwanis Club decided to meet once a month at Ordnance Brewery on the third Thursday of each month at 6:00 pm. They still meet the first Thursday of each month at River Lodge and Grill at 6:30 am for breakfast. The group decided to meet the third Thursday of each month at night so more people could attend. The night meeting will allow more members and interested people to attend after work or for those who just aren’t “morning people”. Anyone who is a member, a spouse or would just like to help out on occasion as a volunteer is welcome to attend the meetings. You don’t have to be a member to help out in the Boardman community. The Kiwanis Club of Boardman is very active in the community with projects such as The Halloween party at RHS, Dictionaries for Third Graders, Morrow County Harvest Festival, Breakfast with Santa, and recently the Kiwanis put on the first annual Key Club Rally at the SAGE Center as well as assisting the RHS and IHS Key Clubs and providing scholarships to the graduating seniors of Boardman and Irrigon. Everyone is invited to join or attend a meeting. Their mission is “Serving the children of the world”.

Grant provides cooperation between Eastern Oregon manufacturers, educators and students Pendleton – A grant from the Ford Family Foundation is providing opportunities for eastern Oregon manufacturers to introduce local educators and students to careers at their businesses. The “Made in Eastern Oregon: An Introduction to Manufacturing” project is a collaboration between the Eastern Oregon Workforce Board and Eastern Oregon Regional Solutions. Other partners providing in-kind support are the manufacturers themselves, the InterMountain ESD & CTE Consortium and Blue Mountain Community College. The grant will fund three activities to connect students to manufacturing careers:
gently to support local industry by finding avenues to recruit and retain skilled workers, who can contribute to thriving communities,” said Jennifer Pambrun, IMESD Regional CTE Coordinator. The student field trips are happening this spring. An “Introduction to Manufacturing” curriculum and other instructional resources available through an online hub will be implemented by September 2017. For more information about the Eastern Oregon Workforce Board or Eastern Oregon Manufacturing Partnership, contact Bill Rosholt at 541-963-3693.

News from Hardman, Oregon Yeah! The new heater in the Annex finally came off of back order and is installed! We would like to thank the MCGG team: John Ripple, Doug Holland, Mike Correa and Matt Baker for donating the installation, their advice and for diligently checking on the back order. Members involved were: Sam Martin, Sr., Jim Kirkpatrick, Don Ward, and Scott and Claudia Smythe. We would also like to thank The Ford Family Foundation for the grant to replace the heater. Sam will be installing safety barriers in the near future. Claudia touched up the floor paint that was scratched from dragging the portable propane canisters across it and we installed switch plates and are in the process of covering the hole where the thermostat formerly went. Glass is there to replace a window that broke also. The ceiling trim on the east wall will have to be stacked like the north wall, due to the gap. The windows cannot be trimmed until they are, at a bare minimum, reset-we have gaps/unevenness with the wall and gaps of up to a half inch between upper and lower panes-you can squeeze a dish towel between them!!! We have received many pictures from Mark and Tami Rietmann and Gerald and Dianna Hoeft for our collection and a donation of Bob and Darlene Hoskins and Craig and Anne Munkers have ordered the fencing they are donating for around the old Hardman Cemetery where Bob’s ancestors are buried. John Flynn will tear out the old fence and Dan Van Schoiack will install the new fence. Randy Hansen was unable to tune our piano due to a broken bass bridge-it was noted in the interior of the piano when he opened it by the previous tuner-named RW Saunders-and dated in 1961. Randy

also discovered that since then, the treble bridge has split. He cleaned up the piano and looked up its’ history-the serial # was issued in1925though one key was dated 1909???!!! We appreciate Mike and Darcy Bergstrom whose donation allowed us to explore this and are saddened that it’s in such bad shape. We will enjoy it as best we can, for s long as we can, in the current condition. On March 13th, Jim, Don and Scott performed “exploratory surgery” on the facade of the Hallwhich had been boarded up and the doors changed out. The engineers in the group found that the real cause of the window breakage was structural-the framing holding the windows was inadequate for the amount of glass and the constant wind in Hardman exacerbated the issue, coupled with the natural settling of the building over time. The upper windows which were somewhat protected by a porch, off and on, over the years are still intact, but bowed. Pettyjohn’s has given us most of the estimates and the State Restorationist has added her input. We have commitments from local contractors to donate their time to complete the work and volunteer labor as well. We also received donations from Bob and Bonnie Buschke and Midway Ranches to help with matching funds. Once all the numbers and information are in, we will decide how to proceed to stop the snow from piling up inside the Hall doors and the how to keep the curtains from billowing! After much research and measuring, it is believed we can make the men’s bathroom handicap ac-
cessible without changing the footprint. The building committee will have to meet to go over the possible plan-mainly to decide on how and what kind of door should
be installed. We’d like to thank Sherron Woodside and Dick Paris for their additional input on this. Scott has been caulking and adding screws to the Annex roof in hopes of stopping the leak(s)-to no avail-until a plan can be implemented for a more permanent fix. The trusses are bowed from the Annex settling due to the former moisture problems and when it was jacked up and tied off, much of the tin loosened and with the bowingit’s not refastening very well! As far as the other scheduled 2017 projects-Claudia is ready to go on painting the women’s bath hall and on staining the dark around the edge of the dance hall floor and a crew is in place for working on the upstairs cleaning and wallpaper removal. Test plots are planned for determining a floor finish. The donated tiles have been taken out of storage and counted and with some “very non-professional fudging”, there will be exactly enough for the two bathroom stall floors. A couple of volunteers have stepped forward to possibly take on this project. The next event scheduled for the Hall is the Harshman Reunion on May 28th.

To the Voters within the Irrigon Rural Fire Protection District: My name is Jim Zellars and I am running for a position on the Irrigon Rural Fire Protection District’s Board of Directors. I would like to take the time to tell you a little about myself; I graduated from Umatilla High School and after high school I enlisted in the U.S. Navy to be deployed to serve in the Vietnam War. Following my service overseas, I attended Blue Mountain C.C. where I graduated in mechanics. During this time I also volunteered for the Echo Rural Fire District. In 1977, I served as the Fire Chief for a short time in Athena, Oregon for the Athena Volunteer Fire Department. My work history was centered on agriculture for many years working for a local tractor and implement dealership as Parts Manager. My wife Judy and I have been married for 44 years; we have 2 children, seven grandchildren, and one greatgrandchild. Both of our children and their families have lived in the area for many years. I have lived in Umatilla County for most of my adult life. My wife and I started Double J Drive Thru in Pendleton in 2004 after retiring from our jobs. We sold our business in 2015 after deciding it was time to fully retire and enjoy life. Wanting to be closer to our children who live in Boardman; that is when we purchased our new home in Irrigon, Oregon. I feel that I have a lot to offer and contribute to the Irrigon Rural Fire Protection District and the community which I live in. I would like the opportunity to share new ideas and past experience on issues I feel concerned about. Thank you for your time, Jim Zellars

It is a great privilege to take this special day to show our appreciation to the ladies young and above who keep things upright in our topsy turvy world. Come celebrate with us on Mother’s Day and then take that special lady of you life out for dinner and tell her how much you appreciated and love her! he Saturday Night at the Movies showing on May 20th will be “What If.” This hilarious fictional movie stretches the imagination to the limit. Ben Walker (actor Kevin Sorbo) left his college sweetheart to follow his life calling to enter the ministry. However Walker gets sidetracked on the way and becomes a successful and prosperous investment broker who rises to stardom in the corporate world. A letter from his old sweetheart, Wendy, (Kristy Swanson) prompts Walker to take a drive back to their old home town to say “hi.” The events that follow keep the audience guessing (and laughing) as Walker finds himself visiting with a tow truck driving angel who is bent on disrupting the businessman’s life. This is one you won’t want to miss. Popcorn and refreshments will be served and there is no charge for the showing. “What If” will be shown Saturday, May 20th, 6 p.m. at First Baptist Church of Boardman.

MCHS Contingent vsits Well Springs Historical Site On Thursday, April 20, 2017, in the afternoon, a contingent of six members from the MCHS * visited the aWell-Springs Oregon trail site. Rumors of deterioration due to weathering , and missing signage proved partially true. The colors of the displays were badly faded from the intense sunlight and the protective layers in the displays were badly crazed (also from the intense sunlight). Directional signage was nonexistent. We will discuss these findings at our upcoming meeting on June 4, 2017., along with some possible courses of action. Morrow County Historical Society
