Sheriff’s Department places life

preservers at area swimming holesThe Morrow County Sheriff’s

Department was troubled by thenumber of drowning deaths in ourarea, so they decided to take ac-tion. Detective Sergeant TerryHarper headed up a program tobuild kiosks and place free-to-uselife preservers at Boardman MarinaPark, river Mile Marker 40, (the bestbeach around Boardman!) IrrigonMarina, Cutsforth Park and AnsonWright Park. Harper and otherSheriff’s Department officers builteach kiosk, and placed eight pre-servers: two infant, two 30-60pound, two youth and two adultsized preservers at each station.

“We’re hopeful that the life pre-servers will be used by those whoneed them, and returned and hungback up at the kiosk when they’redone,” said Harper.

Nearly $900 in materials and pre-servers were purchased for the pro-gram, said Harper. The funds camefrom the Child Abuse Multi-disci-plinary Team, which consists ofrepresentatives from the Sheriff’sDepartment, Morrow CountyCourt, the District Attorney’s of-fice, school councilors, MorrowCounty Health Department, thestate Department of Human Re-sources and the Morrow CountyJuvenile Department. The team

meets monthly to tackle issues re-garding child abuse and otherproblems. They felt the lendingprogram was an important issue forMorrow County.

D e t e c t i v eHarper added thathe is seeking agrant from theSearch and Res-cue team to fundthrowable liferings to be placedat each station.

“So far theprogram has beenpositive,” statedHarper. Whilesome wondered ifthe life preserverswould be stolen,Harper said thatthey’ve only lostsix so far. Hethanked the com-munity memberswho have do-nated additionallife preservers tobe used in thisprogram. “If the public has life pre-servers that are unused becausetheir kids have grown up, we’d liketo see them donated to this pro-gram,” he stated.

L-R Savannah Turner 10 years old visitingfrom Pennsylvania, and Rose Jurcich 9 ofBoardman borrowed life preservers to swim inthe marina. Both girls are grandchildren ofKathy and Del Turner of Boardman.

Those wishing to donate pre-servers may contact the MorrowCounty Sheriff’s Department at541/676-3317 or simply place the

preservers at one of the stations.“Just tell them to hang ‘em back

up when they’re through using thepreservers,” emphasized Harper.

They are a traditional jazz bandformed in 1997 in the Tri Cities areaof Washington. The name Side-walk Stompers identifies the band

as a small acoustic street band ableto play anywhere without piano

and drums and small enough tomove from spot to spot, similar toNew Orleans streetbands. Occasionallythe band is augmentedwith a guest jazz pianistwhen a stage venue al-lows. The SidewalkStompers are strictly anoff-the-cuff extempora-neous group, nocharts. You will recog-nize most all of thetunes, twenties and thir-ties standards. Noth-ing obscure, just a lotof great old tunes youhaven’t heard for a longtime.

The band plays for parties, win-ery functions, pubs, jazz clubs, andjazz festivals. The Sidewalk

Music in the Parks winds up summerStompers have been the traditionaljazz band stomping the sidewalksof Ellensburg at their July jazz fes-tival (Jazz in the Valley) every yearsince it started in 1998. This willbe the sixth year the band will beperforming for the final performanceof the Irrigon/Boardman Music InThe Parks program…. Always fun.

The band is led by KarlWalterskirchen, who moved to theTri Cities from San Francisco in1993 to work at Hanford as a me-chanical engineer. Originally fromMissoula, Montana, he startedplaying banjo with traditional jazzbands in the San Francisco area inthe mid 60’s. He played on and offat the famous Red Garter in SanFrancisco and played banjo withnumerous San Francisco style andNew Orleans style traditional jazzbands in the San Francisco area. After moving to the Tri Cities Karl

played with the local Three RiversJazz Band before starting the Side-

walk Stompers. This year’s en-semble at Irrigon will include trum-pet, clarinet, banjo (or guitar), andjazz piano.

Picking goatheads source of youth money

Who would have thought thatthe famous “goatheads” would besuch a good source of summerfunds to Boardman’s youth?

Each year the City receivescomplaints of the plant growingalong the bike path, sidewalks andcurbs.

If you have ever stepped on aPuncturevine seed, you knowwhat a pain the plant can be. Eachspiny bur or seed pod from thePuncturevine (Tribulusterrestris), also known as a“Goathead”, contains 20 seedsequipped with long sharp spinescapable of puncturing a bike tireor a shoe. It takes only 3 weeksfor this weed to sprout and makeseeds. To make things worse, theseeds are some of the hardiest innature; they may lay in theground dormant for up to 20 yearsuntil just the right conditionscome along for them to grow.

The City of Boardman’sPuncturevine Control Program hasbeen dubbed a huge success withover 200 bags of Puncturevine col-lected. This is the City’s secondyear running the program, whichoriginally started off with a budgetof $300. With so many participantsthe City ran out of funds within thefirst two weeks of the program,leading the City Council to add

another $300 into this year’s pro-gram. The City provided the bags,and participants were paid $3 perbag collected. The City plans toburn the weeds as soon as the burnban is lifted.

The City’s Code Compliance Of-ficial John Russell said he could seea big improvement along the City’sbike path, streets, and other publicareas such as the Marina Park’s

baseball fields. Many citizens,mostly school-aged children, par-ticipated in collecting the weed inthe spirit of helping out their com-munity. The City of Boardman ap-preciates all the participation in theprogram, and hopes to sponsor itagain next spring. For more infor-mation on the City’s PuncturevineControl Program, call BoardmanCity Hall at 541-481-9252.

Boardman Park & Recre-ation District always spraysweeds each year, but in theheat of the summer with somany duties ongoing, some-times the quick-growingpuncturevine gets a headstart.

The Park is picking up theCity of Boardman’s lead andwill offer $1.00 per bag ofgoatheads collected duringthe month of August. Thebags may be picked up andreturned to the campgroundcheck-in booth at the RVpark.

Park Ranger TedLieurance said he hopesthat the roadways andtrailside will be totally cleanof the noxious weed.

CORVALLIS, Ore. —A highlight oflate summer is when tomatoespicked fresh from the garden be-come an ingredient in almost ev-ery meal. But since we can’t eatthem fast enough, manypeople preserve them toenjoy throughout theyear.

Home canning, one ofthe most popular preser-vation methods for toma-toes and tomato prod-ucts, requires safe proce-dures, according toCarolyn Raab, OregonState University Extension foodsand nutrition specialist.

A revised OSU Extension pub-lication, “Canning Tomatoes andTomato Products,” PNW 300, givesupdated details on safe canning

OSU updates available on

canning tomatoes safelymethods, from preparing the toma-toes to testing the seal, and is avail-able online.

This year’s revisions in the pub-lication recommend that you re-

place pressure can-ner gauges if theyread high or low bymore than twopounds (formerlyone pound); pre-heat water in a boil-ing-water canner be-fore processing; andwait to remove jarsfrom canners to pro-

mote lid seal.A new section describes how

to safely handle and detoxifyspoiled food before disposal, andthen how to clean the contaminatedarea.

Microorganisms that causespoilage, such as molds, yeast andbacteria, are destroyed by heatprocessing, and because process-ing times are scientifically deter-mined, Raab said, it is extremelyimportant to follow a tested recipefor tomatoes and tomato productssuch as salsa.

“Changes in the amount or typeof ingredients and method ofpreparation can influence process-ing conditions needed to guaran-tee safety,” she said. “For example,addition of extra vegetables to asalsa recipe can change acidity,and overcooking can change con-sistency. Products not preparedaccording to instructions shouldbe frozen.”

In 1987, the U.S. Department ofAgriculture completed extensivetesting of tomato canning proce-dures to ensure that home-cannedtomatoes and tomato products aresafe to eat and can be stored onthe shelf without spoiling.

Processing times were length-ened to ensure that tomato variet-ies with a high-solids content areadequately processed. Pressurecanner recommendations wereadded as an alternative to boiling-water processing. Recommendedpressures now differ for dial andweighted gauges. And, altitudecorrections for both boiling-watercanners and pressure canners wererevised. By: Judy ScottSource: Carolyn Raab

Sharon Barrick’s unique yardon Boardman Avenue has beencatching our eyes for quite sometime. We found her one day sip-ping ice water with a nearby neigh-bor she calls her backdoor friend.She says “all my friends are backdoor friends.”

The contrast between the frontand the side yards is remarkable!Peering under two large oak treesacross an expanse of green lawninto a protected shady porch onecan almost imagine they are step-ping off a boat somewhere in theMediterranean: while the area west

of her driveway which she oncecalled “The Scabby Side Yard” hasbeen transformed into a HighPlains Desert planting with the helpof her good friends the Wetherells.

Sharon arrived in Boardman inthe fall of 1960 with her parents.She attended Riverside HighSchool, went away to collage andspent 4 years in Scotland (hergrandmother’s ancestral home.)She then came back to teach for 30years at Riverside.

She says she has a shamrockplant in her yard that is 50 yearsold, has learned a great deal fromOregon and Washington extensionprograms, and sometimes finds 25cent plant treasures at their sales.

She is even now helping her PinOak recover from drought stressand as we talked a hummingbirdwas feeding at a fuchsia plant onher porch.

Sharon says her plantings con-tain items gathered over the yearsby family members and finds timeworking in her yard very therapeu-tic

Do you need a building permit?

How do you know if you need aBuilding Permit? Do you live inMorrow County? Are you plan-ning to start a building projectsoon? Well, if you add a room,build a stair way, install or changeyour heating or cooling system,add a fireplace, replace water heat-ers, alter piping inside a wall, re-model, or add on to existing plumb-ing you need a permit.

You must have a licensed con-tractor do the work for your projectUNLESS it is a single or multi-fam-ily home owned and lived in byyourself, then you may do yourown work but you still need thatpermit. A licensed plumber or elec-trician is required for all construc-tion unless it meets the require-ments for normal maintenance.

When coming to apply for apermit you must have the follow-ing information; the address, landowners name and phone number,and the contractors name, Oregonlicense number, phone number, andaddress.

The steps that need to be takenin order to get a permit are as fol-

lows:1) If you live in the outside

a city in Morrow County and areadding a plumbing fixture or build-ing a new structure you need toget a zoning sign off from the Mor-row County Planning Department.If you live within the city limits ofBoardman, Irrigon, Heppner, Lex-ington, or Ione, you’ll need to getzoning approval from those cities.

2) For those who are on aseptic system you will need to con-tact DEQ in Pendleton, if you areadding a bathroom or adding addi-tional plumbing fixtures.

3) Bring the zoning ap-proval and a DEQ sign off, if re-quired, with two sets of plans forbuildings, to City Hall in Boardman.

4) After the plans have beenreviewed and approved by thebuilding official then you may pickup the approved plans and are ableto start your project. DO NOT BE-GIN CONSTRUCTION BEFOREPLANS ARE APPROVED!

If you are planning to do aproject that is as small as installinga new stove, or as big as building a

new home you need to come seeus at Boardman City Hall. By ob-taining a permit you are purchas-ing inspections for your project.Having your project inspected isvery important for a number of rea-sons: such as being able to get yourfunding from the bank, or havingyour insurance cover your homein case your newly-installed appli-ances cause damage.

Boardman City Hall issuesbuilding permits for all areas withinMorrow County. We issue stateelectrical permits for all of MorrowCounty. The inspection/plan re-view services offered at BoardmanCity Hall include; Building, Me-chanical, Plumbing, ManufacturedHome, Sprinkler, Electrical, ProcessPiping and Sign Permits.

Hostile application to acquire BEO

Bancorp withdrawnHeppner, Oregon, (July 28,

2010) “I am pleased to announcethat the application made to theFederal Reserve Bank by Commu-nity Bancshares, Inc. to acquire upto 100% of the outstanding sharesof BEO Bancorp has been with-drawn,” said President and CEO,Jeff Bailey.

“Though I will not speculate asto why the application was with-drawn, I understand that the Fed-eral Reserve Bank received literallyhundreds of letters from sharehold-ers, customers, and employees inopposition to the application. I amcertain these letters made a differ-ence and was a factor in the finaldecision,” continued Bailey.

“Because of the overwhelmingmessage to remain independentthat we heard from our sharehold-

ers and community, we will dili-gently proceed with actions to but-tress the existing anti-takeovermeasures already within the ar-ticles of incorporation and bylaws,as well as adopt further measuressuggested by counsel. With thesemeasures added to defenses al-ready existing within Oregon stat-utes, we will in fact be an evenstronger, more independent corpo-ration,” said EVP and CFO, MarkLemmon.

“The Board of Directors, man-agement and employees of Bankof Eastern Oregon thank the stake-holders for resoundingly voicingsupport and conviction for Bankof Eastern Oregon to remainstaunchly independent, locallyowned and operated, as well as anintegral part of our communities,”

concluded Bailey.For further information on the

Heritage Station and the Co-lumbia Blue Mt. Resource Conser-vation & Development Council areagain partnering to provide a holi-day venue for value-added pro-ducers and rural crafts people tosell their wares during the 3rd an-nual Artisan Alley in Pendleton.

Held on the first Saturday inDecember, in conjunction with thePendleton Christmas Carriage Pa-rade, this event offers a final salesopportunity before Christmas.

“Barbara Lund-Jones, director ofHeritage Station, and I are workingto get a jump on the planning forArtisan Alley,” notes Kathy Ferge,coordinator with the RC&D. “We’dlike our producers and crafts peopleto begin planning now for theevent. We’re working on signifi-cantly expanding our promotionand outreach efforts and to furtherdevelop relationships with new andreturning vendors.”

In the two years prior, vendorshave come from as far away asHeppner, Long Creek and Condon,

Oregon selling decorated gourdbaskets, seasoned wheat berriesand other gift items. “One of thegoals of the RC&D is to expandsales and marketing opportunitiesfor small rural and agricultural busi-nesses within the Columbia BlueMt area.

Boardman – In an effort to com-municate better with the popula-tion it serves, the Boardman RuralFire district has launched Facebookand Twitter pages to reach asbroad a segment of Boardman resi-dents as possible.

In addition to the Fire District’swebsite (www.boardmanfire.com),anyone interested in getting themost up to date information maysubscribe to their social network-ing sites. Become a ‘fan’ onFaceBook (Boardman Rural FireDistrict), and become a ‘follower’on Twitter (BoardmanFD). Therewill also be links from the websiteto the other accounts.

“The use of these sites to com-municate has gotten to the point

that we thought it was importantfor the Fire District to be part ofthat,” said Fire Chief MarcRogelstad.

“Our goal is to keep theBoardman community informedabout not only what the Fire Dis-trict is doing, but also to get im-portant messages about fire safetyto the public. This seems to be aneffective method to do that, and itdoesn’t cost anything.”

The Fire District plans on post-ing updates on such things asevents involving the Fire District,answers to commonly asked ques-tions, and fire safety tips.

Treatment for Addison’s Disease

Pharmacy & Your Health

Addison’s disease is a condition that involves the

adrenal glands. In this condition, there is an inadequate

amount of three hormones: Cortisol, a glucocorticoid, and

aldosterone. The adrenal glands are located just above

the kidneys, and normally function to produce adequate

amounts of these hormones. Two of the hormones are

essential for converting food to energy, the inflammatory

response and our ability to respond to stress. Aldosterone

is essential for balancing sodium, potassium, and water to

regulate normal blood pressure. Addison’s disease may be

the result of an autoimmune condition, in which the body’s

immune system attacks the adrenal glands. Infections,

tuberculosis, and cancers also may cause adrenal gland

failure. Symptoms of this condition include muscle

weakness, weight loss, decreased appetite, low blood

pressure, low blood sugar, irritability, and salt craving.

Although Addison’s disease may be life

threatening, hormonal treatment is available.

Hydrocortisone and prednisone are drugs that are

sometimes prescribed to replace the hormone cortisol.

Aldosterone may be replaced by the medication

fludrocortisone (Florinef). These replacement hormones

are taken orally each day to simulate normal hormone

production by the body.

About the Boardman PlantThe Boardman Power Plant is a

585-megawatt coal-fired electricitygenerating plant in northeasternOregon. It is one of PGE’s most cost-effective sources of power, produc-ing electricity at a variable cost ofabout one-third to one-half thewholesale market price. Boardmanprovides about 15 percent of thepower PGE delivers to its custom-ers, making it a key resource inmeeting Oregonians’ current andfuture energy needs.

Air emissions proposalPGE submitted its most recent

Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) tothe Oregon Public Utility Commis-sion on Nov. 5, 2009. In that plan,the utility recommended installa-tion of extensive emissions controlretrofits on the Boardman Plant, atan estimated cost of $520 million to$560 million. These controls wouldallow continued operation of theplant in compliance with new rulesfrom the Oregon Department ofEnvironmental Quality.

In January, 2010, PGE an-nounced that after further analysisand discussions with stakeholdersand regulators it intended to pur-sue an alternative operating planfor Boardman. Under this plan, PGEwould install certain additionalemissions controls and make op-erational changes to further reduceemissions, but then cease opera-tions in 2020.

The company did not include aproposal in its IRP to ceaseBoardman operations in 2020 be-cause such a plan would not beactionable under the current DEQ

rules; however, further analysishas shown that a 2020 alternativewould provide a better balance ofcost and risk for PGE customers,and discussion with environmen-tal regulators and other stakehold-ers suggests that there may be sup-port for a rule change that wouldmake it possible to implement theplan.

So, on April 2, PGE submitted aproposal to the DEQ asking for rulerevisions that would allow us tomeet environmental standards re-lated to haze-causing emissions byclosing the Boardman plant in 2020.As part of the proposal, PGE wouldswitch to a lower sulfur coal to re-duce allowed sulfur dioxide emis-sions 50 percent by 2014 and in-stall new burners to reduce emis-sions of nitrogen oxides by 50 per-cent by 2011. Under separate DEQrules, PGE has already agreed toinstall controls in 2011 to reducemercury emissions from the plantby 90 percent — one of the moststringent standards in the nation.

We followed up on April 9 byfiling an addendum to our Inte-grated Resource Plan requestingOPUC acknowledgement of a 2020closure date contingent on DEQapproval of revised rules.

If agreement on an alternativeplan can’t be reached or other regu-latory hurdles make it impossibleto implement the plan, PGE will con-tinue to seek approval for installa-tion of all emissions controls pres-ently required and continued op-eration of the plant — the best op-tion available to customers with-out changes to current rules.
