For the past 24 years MRI Mobile has partnered with hospitals, clinics, and group practices across the Northwest to help them expand their radiology testing capabilities. Patients receive the same quality imaging provided at major medical centers without the inconvenience of traveling miles from home. The Mobile MRI van is equipped with a 1.5T (T=Tesla strength) High Definition (HD) unit, and according to MRI Mobile, the acquisition times are among the fastest in the industry, which equates to shorter scan times. The high definition component yields sharper images on which the reading radiologist is able to make better decisions with a higher level of confidence.

MRI Mobile is available to conduct scans at Pioneer Memorial Hospital every other Saturday.

Changes, changes, changes!

Whether it be new, refreshed or “bigger and better”, anywhere you look in the Boardman, you will find something has changed within the recent months.

As we all know, changes don’t happen overnight. A wide range of resources, time, teamwork and determination are what’s needed to be successful with projects. It’s apparent Boardman is flourishing.

Look towards the sky in Boardman and often, you see beautiful clear skies, or perhaps one of the beautiful sunrises and sunsets we get to enjoy here. Now you will also notice the renowned water tower is a bold, abstract totem marking “Boardman” is here.

As you enter Boardman, businesses throughout town have freshened their appearances with new painting projects, paving, signage, and internal renovations. Have you noticed Boardman Jump Start Java and NAPA have freshly painted exteriors? How about Boardman grocery store’s interior revamp and repaved parking lot? Also came a brand-new name… so long Boardman Select Market, hello Boardman Harvest Town Foods! Perhaps you noticed the City of Boardman enhanced the appeal of the decorative lamp posts that line City Center Drive.

The long-awaited Boardman Pool and Recreation Center is a true victory for diligence and the phrase “patience is a virtue”. To add to this exciting addition in Boardman, the Blue Mountain Community College Workforce Training Facility, for those continuing their education, and the spanking new preschool, Neal Early Learning Center, for our up-and-coming prodigy. It is exciting to see how many benefits these two new “school” assets provide to the development of our community.

Many businesses feel that upkeep such as this, is something that can only be achieved as they save their own funds to complete projects for improvement. Yes, that is one way that it can happen, but there are other avenues as well. State of Oregon’s Small Business Department, Greater Eastern Oregon Development Corporation (GEODC), Oregon Small Business Development Center (SBDC), Blue Mountain Community College (BMCC SBA) are accessible avenues for guidance and provide various lending opportunities.

An additional avenue that gears their “Business Incentive Program” directly towards existing and new businesses in Boardman is the Boardman Community Development Association.

If you would like further information contact the Boardman Chamber of Commerce, and our staff will be happy to assist you. (541) 481-3014 or info@boardmanchamber.org

Local student interns at Port of Morrow Warehousing

Hans Rockwell interned at the Port of Morrow during summer break.

Hans Rockwell, current junior and wrestler at Eastern Oregon University spent the summer as an intern for Port of Morrow Warehousing. Hans assisted Safety Manager Bobby Barnes with developing and updating several safety programs for Port of Morrow Warehousing.

They updated the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Program and Hazard Communication Program at the warehouse by analyzing current practices and updating to current OSHA standards. They also developed a

Brittle Plastics and Glass Program for the new dry warehouse that the Port will be operating at 71410 East Columbia Ave. In addition to helping improve safety at the warehouse, Hans also spent considerable time repairing broken side racks that the warehouse uses in operation, which has allowed Hans to stay in shape and hit the ground running when returning to Eastern Oregon University in September. This internship was made possible because of an Internship Grant from Special Districts Association of Oregon.

FFA benefits from sale of market hog

By Cooper Szasz, Riverside FFA Chapter’s Secretary A fundamental part of the FFA organization is to provide service to one’s community. In light of this virtue, Beth Dickenson and the Heppner FFA chapter were able to sell a market pig at the Morrow Couty Fair. The profits that were obtained were used to buy school supplies for less fortunate children in Mornrow County.

The Heppner FFA chapter bought $12,200 worth of school supplies from a variety of sources and distributed supplies to Riverside High School, Irrigon High School, Ione High School, and kept a proportional amount in Heppner. Some of the funds that were raised were put in reserve for items that may be needed mid-year.

After the school supplies arrived at each high school it was up to the FFA officers to organize the materials and then disperse them to the grade schools in that community, where they would be given to a child in need.

The market pig came from one of Ms. Dickenson’s students, Jacee Currin.

Ms. Currin had an extra pig and decided to donate the animal to the Heppner FFA chapter. A separate student of Ms. Dickenson’s, Kolby Currin, who had attended the FFA Washington Leadership Conference, proposed the idea of selling the donated market pig to raise funds for school supplies.

The Riverside FFA chapter would like to thank Ms. Dickenson, the Heppner FFA chapter, and the sponsors who purchased the market pig for bringing this service project to fruition.

Boardman schools collaborated for Community Event BOARDMAN – On September 12, schools in the Boardman community hosted the 7 th Annual Boardman Community Resource Extravaganza at Sam Boardman Elementary. The event is an opportunity for various organizations and businesses to share with families the support and help available within the Boardman community.

An estimated 300 to 400 people attended the event, including many families from all three schools: Sam Boardman Elementary, Windy River Elementary and Riverside Junior/Senior High School. In previous years, the Extravaganza was held only at Windy River Elementary, but the district wanted to expand to include more families.

The community was well represented with over 20 local organizations including banks, the police department, the Port of Morrow Workforce Center and the new Boardman Recreation Center.

Many local service organizations, ranging from the Department of Human Services to Morrow County School District’s Care Team to OSU Extension and 4-H, also attended and provided information, prizes and games for families.

Brandon Hammond, principal of Windy River Elementary, said, “This is an excellent event for our community and allows our families to see all the various entities available to support them and their child.” Hammond said the school district appreciates the organizations that made time to attend the event and provide information. He also said staff at Boardman schools are excited to collaborate with the community and look forward to the event next year and for many years to come.

West Nile Virus persists in North Morrow County Manager Greg Barron says “With the cooler weather, things are definitely slowing down. We only collected one mosquito pool that was shipped off to be tested for WNV at the Oregon State University Diagnostic Lab yesterday.

During this season, we average 69 mosquito pools (a mosquito pool is 10 to 50 mosquitoes of one species) per week. Last season, we averaged 27 pools per week. This season, we have sent in a total of 1,102 mosquito pools to be tested with 52 of those testing positive for WNV. Last season, we sent in a total of 463 mosquito pools with 7 of those testing positive.”

West Nile virus, a mild flu-like disease spread by mosquitoes, has been reported to have been found again in three testing sites in Morrow County Oregon, according to Oregon Public Health officials. The mosquitoes were collected the week of September 5th in North Morrow County and tested at Oregon State University, Veterinary Diagnostic laboratory in Corvallis, Oregon.

Health officials are advising people in Morrow County to take precautions against mosquitoes in order to avoid the risk of infection.

We want people in that area to be especially careful to avoid getting mosquito bites. “The risk of contracting West Nile virus may be low, but we do encourage people to take appropriate precautions to protect themselves against mosquito bites,” said Greg Barron, Manager of North Morrow Vector Control District. “We will continue to increase our mosquito control operations utilizing our Ultra Low Volume (ULV) truck mounted

sprayers and possibly some spraying by helicopter to reduce adult mosquito populations,” Barron said.

Dr. Emilio DeBess, public health veterinarian says simple precautions can prevent the spread of West Nile virus: · Eliminate sources of standing water that are a breeding ground for mosquitoes, including watering troughs, bird baths, ornamental ponds, buckets, wading and swimming pools not in use and old tires. · When engaged in outdoor activities at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active protect yourself by using mosquito repellants containing DEET, oil of lemon eucalyptus or Picardin and Products containing IR3535 include Skin So Soft, Bug Guard Plus, Expedition and SkinSmart and follow the directions on the container. · Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants in mosquito-infested areas. · Make sure screen doors and windows are in good repair and fit tightly.

Because of the number of mosquito pools testing positive in any area could lead to infection, Shelley Wight, Morrow County Health Department Health Educator / Communicable Disease Coordinator recommends people and animals be protected against mosquito bites.

Eighty percent of people infected with West Nile virus exhibit no symptoms. Of the remaining 20 percent, most have very mild symptoms, such as fever, headaches and nausea lasting from three to six days. In a few cases, more severe symptoms may occur including convulsions or disorientation. The

central nervous system also may be affected, resulting in a headache associated with fever, aseptic meningitis or encephalitis. West Nile is spread to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito. Most infected people will show little or no signs of disease. About 1 in 5 infected people may show signs of West Nile fever. People at risk include those individuals over 50 years of age, people with immune compromising conditions, or those people with diabetes and high blood pressure. Symptoms may include fever above 100ºF AND severe headache, stiff neck, mental confusion, muscle weakness, shaking, paralysis, or rash. It is important that you contact your health care provider if you experience any of these symptoms. The fever syndrome may last from a few days to several weeks. The incubation period is usually 2-14 days.

Consult your health care provider if you have these symptoms.

Health Care Providers may contact the Morrow County Health Department for information on West Nile virus testing services that the Oregon Public Health Lab offers.

Boardman wants voters to decide on new service district During their September 5th meeting, the Boardman City Council passed a resolution approving a Morrow County order to initiate the formation of a Morrow County Extension Service District. In August, Councilors heard a presentation from representatives of the OSU Extension Service regarding the formation of new special districts in Morrow and Umatilla Counties.

The Extension Service of Morrow and Umatilla Counties are promoting the formation of a new extension service district in each county, and asked the city council to support putting it on the May 2018 ballot for voter’s consideration. The Extension Services plan to ask the voters of Morrow and Umatilla Counties to approve the formation of the new districts with a $0.33 per thousand assessment rate, generating an estimated 1.5

million dollars a year.

Because of the way special districts receive their taxes, councilors’ chief concern is the loss of revenue to the City of Boardman, and other special districts, if this new special district is formed. There was consensus from the council that they would not be in support of the formation of a Morrow County Extension Service District, although, they are in favor of the Extension Service bringing the idea before the voters.

In other city business, the council approved a resolution to receive a $60,000 infrastructure grant from Morrow County. Two other resolutions were passed, one regarding providing worker’s compensation for volunteers, and the other a budget transfer.

The next Boardman City Council meeting will be Tuesday, October 3, 2017 at 7:00pm at Boardman

US News & World Report published its annual list of Best Colleges and Universities in the nation, and EOU appeared in online and regional categories. The university landed just outside the nation’s top 100 online bachelor’s programs, and also made the list for its online MBA degree. Overall, EOU scored among the best 125 regional universities in the West for the second year in a row.

The nationally recognized list is generated based on a host of factors. U.S. News gathers data for 15 different indicators of academic quality, such as first-year student retention rates, faculty resources, admissions selectivity, financial

resources, alumni giving and graduation rate.

EOU’s focus on teaching, innovative learning experiences, vibrant campus and successful graduates earned inclusion as a 2017-18 College of Distinction. The ranking assesses professional evaluations, personal connection with faculty, inclusive community and preparation for life after graduation. The university was also named a Public College of Distinction and an Oregon College of Distinction.

As EOU takes active steps to reach its 2029 goals as laid out in the strategic plan, the institution anticipates delivering on an increasing number of these and other indicators. Other recent distinctions include recognition of EOU’s online liberal arts, early childhood education, and business programs.
