Brandon Hammond takes reins as Boardman City Manager

August 1st began a new era for the City of Boardman when Brandon Hammond took over as City Manager.

Karen Pettigrew had retired then Rick Stokoe handled the duties as Assistant City Manager until Hammond started the job.

Brandon and family were former residents of Boardman for seven years when he was a principal for Sam Boardman, Windy River and vice principal at Riverside, during which time he served on the Boardman City Council and on the board for Chamber of Commerce. He spoke about his great regard for Boardman and his wish to return to the area.

Hammond grew up in Logan, Utah, completing his bachelor’s degree at Utah State, his

Master’s Deree in Science at Eastern Oregon University, and obtained additional certifications through Concordia University of Chicago. He left Boardman to work 2020 through 2022 as Superintendent of Schools in Arlington, before moving to Medford, where he served as principal for one year.

“I have eleven years administrative experience before coming to Boardman,” he says.

Brandon’s wife, Charisa,

oversees their tribe: Mary, age 20 and Matthew age 18, who are both serving on a church mission this year. Nathan, age 15 and eighth grader Seth is age 13 and Isaac age 10.

Hammond looks forward to improvements within the city, including the addition at City Hall, which will house the Planning Department, and is scheduled to be completed in January. A wider Main Street overpass for all the traffic we now see in Boardman as well as

some type of connection between north and south Olsen for easing that traffic is on his wish list. He also looks to expand the City of Boardman website so it includes a calendar of all events occuring here. A newsletter is also on Hammond’s horizon.

“We need more communication here,” Hammond says of his desire to send out a newsletter. He plans to send out the newsletter and emails in both English and Spanish.

Umatilla Electric Summer Science Camp wraps up record

year with new corporate sponsor

Hermiston, Ore. — Locally owned public utilities are an intricate part of the communities they serve. But being a good neighbor means more than providing a service. It requires a commitment to local communities. Nowhere is this more prominent than in the support of youth programs that inspire, educate and offer life-affirming experiences.

Fourth and fifth graders in Umatilla Electric Cooperative’s (UEC) service territory were treated to a hands-on exploration of science, water, electricity this summer during Hydromania Summer Science Camp. New in 2023, a collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) meant campers were given special access to the AWS Think Big Space located in Boardman, Ore.

“AWS is thrilled to support UEC’s Hydromania Summer Science Camp, complementing the STEAM programing that has been inspiring students that participate for so many years,” said Sarah Georgiades, Head of AWS InCommunities for the Americas. “We strongly

and special STEM-related exploration kits for each student, delivering campers with a lifelong memory and educational foundation of science, technology and energy subjects.

“Education and leadership opportunities allow young

marks.

For more than 25 years, UEC has facilitated the fun-filled summer science camp focused on science, water, our environment, and energy making it an unforgettable experience. “We are excited to have this oppor-

believe in the power of education to unlock human potential, and summer is a critical time when we need to continue engaging students in fun, educational experiences that activate their spirit of innovation and creative thinking.”

As the corporate sponsor this year, support from AWS was integral in providing the necessary staff, busing, equipment

people to grow and be active in their communities — UEC has made it a priority to offer opportunities for our youth to foster the skills needed to become the leaders of tomorrow.” said Weston Putman, manager of public relations at Umatilla Electric Cooperative.

UEC’s “Hydromaniacs” sat down with Brooke Kaschmitter, STEAM education advisor for the Port of Morrow, who facilitated a tour of the Think Big Space for a lesson in robotic coding where students learned how to write basic code and “teach” a mini robot to follow a custom designed route. Over the course of sixweeks, 100 campers, affectionately referred to as “Hydromaniacs”, built models of a hydroelectric dam, learned about the life cycle of salmon, explored the inner workings of a modern commercial farm, coded mini robotic devices able to drive autonomously and toured national historic land-

tunity available to the youth in our communities. Hydromania has now seen generations of students grow up and now send their children to attend this unique summer science camp,” stated Amy Callan, program coordinator. “We are proud of the legacy of learning being fostered here and wish to thank all those who have made it possible.”

Throughout 2023, UEC has showcased the people and programs in our community making a difference every day to help create a better place to live, work and play. The series called, Our Power is People, recognizes that as a member-owned cooperative, the organization’s success stems from the community it serves.

To commemorate the 2023 camp season, UEC produced a video highlighting the people and partnerships continuing to bolster this one-of-a-kind youth camp, which is now available online and on UEC’s social media channels. Next year’s camp details will be available in April of 2024 with applications opening in May.

Timely advice on garden chores, fertilizing, pest control, and more from OSU Extension. These tips are not necessarily applicable to all areas of Oregon. For more information, contact your local Extension office.

The Oregon State University Extension Service encourages sustainable gardening practices.

Practice preventive pest management rather than reactive pest control. Identify and monitor problems before acting, and opt for the least toxic approach. Conserve biological control agents such as predators and the parasitoids that feed on insect pests.

Maintenance and cleanup

Harvest winter squash when the "ground spot" changes from white to a cream or gold color.

Pick and store winter squash; mulch carrots, parsnips and beets for winter harvesting.

Protect tomatoes; pick green tomatoes and ripen indoors if frost threatens.

Reduce water on trees, shrubs and vines east of Cascades to harden them for winter.

Stake tall flowers to keep them from blowing over in fall winds.

Dig, clean and store tuberous begonias if frost threatens.

Harvest potatoes when the tops die down. Store them in a dark location.

Optimal time for establishing a new lawn is August through mid-September.

Aerate lawns.

Early-September: Apply 1

pound nitrogen per 1,000 square feet to lawns. Reduce risks of run-off into local waterways by not fertilizing just prior to rain, and not over-irrigating so that water runs off of lawn and onto sidewalk or street.

Recycle disease-free plant material and kitchen vegetable and fruit scraps into compost. Don't compost diseased plants unless you are using the "hot compost" method (120 degrees to 150 degrees Fahrenheit).

Planting/propagation

Pest monitoring and management

Use chemical controls only when necessary and only after thoroughly reading the pesticide label. First consider cultural, then physical and biological controls. Choose the leasttoxic options, and use them judiciously. Some examples include insecticidal soaps, horticultural oils, botanical insecticides, and organic and synthetic pesticides.

Apply parasitic nematodes to moist soil beneath rhododendrons and azaleas that show root weevil damage (notched leaves).

Control slugs as necessary. Least toxic management options include barriers and traps. Baits are also available for slug control; use caution around pets. Read and follow all label directions prior to using baits, or any other chemical control. Monitor trailing berries for leaf and cane spot. Treat if necessary.

Divide peonies and iris.

Plant or transplant woody ornamentals and mature herbaceous perennials. Fall planting of trees, shrubs and perennials can encourage healthy root growth over the winter.

Plant daffodils, tulips and crocus for spring bloom. Work calcium and phosphorus into the soil below the bulbs at planting time. Remember when purchasing bulbs, the size of the bulb is directly correlated to the size of the flower yet to come in spring.

As necessary, apply copper spray for peach and cherry trees.

Spray for juniper twig blight, as necessary, after pruning away dead and infected twigs. Continue monitoring lateseason soft fruits and berries for Spotted Wing Drosophila (SWD). If SWD are present, use an integrated and least toxic approach to manage the pests.

Indoor gardening

Clean houseplants, check for insects, and repot and fertilize if necessary; then bring them indoors.

National Book Lover’s Day Celebration held at UEC

Hermiston, Ore. – For a former milestone anniversary of Umatilla Electric, Steve Meyers, a local historian and nowretired UEC employee, wrote a 120-plus page book highlighting the formation of the cooperative, the early years of electrification, and how the industry - and Umatilla Electric – have changed through the years.

In honor of National Book Lover’s Day on Wednesday, Aug. 9, UEC invited Meyers to return to the cooperative’s headquarters in Hermiston, Ore. to sign copies of the book for members and others in the community. In addition to the author signing, copies of the book were available in the lobby throughout the day.

Umatilla Electric is proud to celebrate their 86th year of service in 2023. The cooperative has a limited number of copies of “When the High Line Comes,” and is happy to share them, upon request. Please reach out to Kim Rill at kim.rill@umatillaelectric.com for details.

Pendleton, OR – A new study has revealed the extensive impact that Blue Mountain Community College (BMCC) has on the Eastern Oregon regional economy and its return of investment for students and tax payers. The comprehensive analysis was conducted by independent labor market research firm Lightcast, part of a larger project that was commissioned by the Oregon Community College Association (OCCA) and all 17 Oregon community colleges. Data reveals that BMCC generates an impressive $157.5 million economic impact in the 2021-2022 fiscal year while supporting 1 out of 34 jobs in the Eastern Oregon region.

The focus of the report, primarily on the 2021-2022 fiscal year, dives deep into the regional economic impact of BMCC’s operations, student spending, and alumni, along with the benefit to taxpayers and students. The $157.5 million impact is equivalent to approximately 2.2% of the total gross regional product within the region BMCC serves, which

includes Morrow, Umatilla, Union, Baker, and Grant counties while bringing in a total taxpayer benefit of $16.8 million.

“This report helps demonstrate what Blue Mountain Community College has been doing for over 60 years— serving and giving back to the communities we serve,” said BMCC President Dr. Mark Browning.

“The impact of alumni, current students and our wonderful staff and faculty, collectively supporting some 2305 jobs and 157.5 million dollars annually shows a most positive return on investment of public dollars.”

For students, attending BMCC brings a 6.3 benefit-cost ratio. In other words, for every dollar students invest in BMCC, they receive a cumulative value of $6.30 in higher future earnings. The rate of return for students annually is a whopping 21.8%, compared to the stock marketing 30-year average annual return of 9.6%.

Other key points from the report include:

·The net impact of BMCC’s former students currently em-

ployed in the regional workforce amounted to $137.9 million in added income in FY 2021-22.

·The net impact of the college’s operations spending added $17.7 million in income to the regional economy in FY 2021-22.

·In return for their investment, students will receive a cumulative present value of $44.2 million in increased earnings over their working lives. This translates to a return of $6.30 in higher future earnings for every dollar students invest in their education. Students’ average annual rate of return is 21.8%.

·FY 2021-22, Oregon invested $28.7 million to support BMCC. In turn, the Oregon economy will grow by $156.2 million, over the course of students’ working lives. Society will also benefit from $4.3 million of public and private sector savings.

Morrow County Statement on Litigation Filed by Morrow County Health District

Morrow County Health District (MCHD) has filed a lawsuit against Morrow County, Boardman Fire Rescue District (BFRD), and several individuals, to stop the County from engaging in its legal obligation to develop, update and replace the current 1998 Ambulance Service Area (ASA) Plan. The complaints and allegations are baseless and inflammatory, misrepresent the process and actions to the public, and seek to prevent the Board of Commissioners (BOC) from exercising its obligations. In furtherance of that effort, MCHD has threatened personal liability and has filed personal ethics complaints. Morrow County will not be deterred in its legal obligation to develop an ASA Plan that provides the best ambulance services available to everyone in the County.

Morrow County is legally required to update the 1998 ASA Plan and regrets MCHD’s efforts to create false narratives and inflame public fear and passion with baseless allegations. The BOC has invited MCHD, and others, to submit testimony regarding their concerns, and will consider such in the formulation of the final 2023 ASA Plan. In response to the lawsuit, please note the following:

• MCHD wrote and unilaterally implemented the 2021 ASA Plan. That effort fell short since, 1.) the legal process was not followed, 2.) the proposed ASA Plan was not approved by the County as required by law, and 3.) the ASA Plan included the unlawful transfer of all authority from the County to MCHD. The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) is aware of the County’s efforts to update the 1998 ASA Plan and of the County’s determination that the 2021 ASA Plan was never legally approved.

• The 1995 intergovernmental agreement between Morrow County and MCHD transferred ambulances and related equipment to the Health District so the Health District could take over the responsibility to provide ambulance services throughout the County. It was an asset transfer agreement, not an exclusive grant of a franchise to provide ambulance services indefinitely. In fact, the State of Oregon statutory process requires that counties develop and administer ambulance service plans, determine ambulance service areas, and designate ambulance providers. That process was followed in the development of the 1998 ASA Plan, and MCHD accepted its designation under the 1998 ASA Plan. The Health District was not provided with a perpetual right under the 1998 ASA Plan.

• MCHD appears to be under the mistaken belief that it has legal authority to govern ambulance services within the County. That belief is false. MCHD refuses to recognize the law or the fact that the County is responsible for ambulance service areas and plans, and for appointment of ambulance service providers.

• MCHD has made several misleading, false, and confusing statements in its complaint, but here are the facts:

« MCHD has no authority over BFRD and does not have authority to levy fines.

« Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 198.720(2) provides that a district may not include territory included within another district formed under the same principal Act. BFRD is a rural fire protection district formed under ORS Ch. 478, and MCHD is a health district formed under ORS Ch. 440. If the BOC decides to allow BFRD to provide ambulance services, such is not prohibited by ORS 198.720(2).

« Rural fire protection districts are authorized to respond to all medical, fire and emergency calls. That is not a violation of MCHD’s right to provide ambulance transport. The public benefits from reduced response times and quicker medical assistance.

• Morrow County encourages MCHD to participate in the ASA Plan process and submit evidence to support its claims so that the BOC can consider it when making its final determination. For example, 1.) provide support for the geographic allegations regarding the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) boundaries for cost-based reimbursement, 2.) the claim that “the loss of runs” results in a loss of funding for the entire program when MCHD also claims that it loses money on every run, and, 3.) why response times would be harmed by adding additional ambulances to the system when the opposite claim was made in MCHD’s 2021 Plan, and so on.
