Why does Columbia River Com-munity Health Services need a newbuilding?

Since 2005 the CRCHS Clinic hasexperienced a 240% growth in-crease from about 5,000 patient vis-its to the current patient load ofover 12,000 patient visits annually.During the same time period, staff-ing has increased 342% from 7 em-ployees to the current service teamof 24. CRCHS has also increasedmedical providers 100% from 2 tothe current 4. They have made 4building additions to their currentfacility and their electrical capac-ity is maxed out for any futuregrowth at their current location,201 SW Kinkade Road.Why has there been such growthfor the clinic?

In 2005 the CRCHS Clinic be-came a Federally Qualified HealthCare Facility, and received federalfunding to enable the clinic to serve

uninsured and low income patients.Currently 32% of the services pro-vided at the clinic are charity care,while 42% of the patients havecommercial insurance and the other26% are covered by Medicare andMedicaid.

The Port of Morrow has beeninstrumental in the growth ofCRCHS. Since 2007, the Port ofMorrow has seen the startup ofRDO/Calbee Foods, BoardmanFoods has expanded, Pacific Etha-nol has opened a new facility,GreenWood Resources hasopened the planer-kiln plus thesawmill on the farm, McKinstryReklaim has a new facility,ZeaChem has broken ground, allbusiness examples of some of thenew industries that currently needor will need CRCHS for occupa-tional health care. These servicesinclude pre-employment physicals,drug screening, hearing testing,

pulmonary function testing, maskfit testing, and various other ser-vices as required by the individualcompany. A new CRCHS Clinic isvital and critical to the economicdevelopment of our Boardmanbusiness community.Why was an outside firm hired toassist CRCHS with this project?

CRCHS completed a feasibilitystudy in 2008 and the Board of Di-rectors decided there was a con-clusive need to bring in a profes-sional fundraising company tohelp identify current viable fund-ing sources at the local, public andprivate levels. Westby Associates,Inc. joined the CRCHS team to workwith the local business community,regional foundations and local,state and federal elected officialsas a united priority to completecritical funding to this importantcommunity health project. Theyhave currently raised over $1 mil-

Staff of Portland General Elec-tric will be the featured speakersat the Boardman Chamber ofCommerce Membership Lunchon Wednesday, September 15 atthe Port of Morrow Office Build-ing at 12:00 noon. The PGE folkswill talk about the issues sur-rounding the closure of the PGECoal Fire Plant.

Clinic seeks final funding for new building

This architectural drawing shows the proposed new building that Columbia River Community Health Services hopes to start earlynext year. The non-profit clinic has purchased the land for the new construction on Willow Fork, in Boardman.

lion through public and privatesources and secured a USDA lowinterest loan for $1.25 million. Theyneed to raise approximately $1 mil-lion to finalize the project. Theyhave the potential of $650,000 infoundation funding support; how-ever, that is not possible withoutidentifying strong local financialsupport in the range of $500,000 inpledges, grants or cash commit-ments that will further leverage re-quired public and foundation sup-port to complete the buildingproject. Foundations and publicfunding sources look for and re-spond to strategic partnershipsand community support. Withoutthe immediate support from thebusiness community and publicdollar investment at the local, stateand federal level, the CRCHS build-ing project will be in jeopardy ofnot being completed, and the cur-rent capacity and service levels

would not be able to respond tothe growing demand of our localcommunity. Our nearest hospitalis 25 miles away--that is not theday-to-day answer for the urgentdaily needs of our Boardman com-munity.What does a new clinic mean forthe rest of the Boardman businesscommunity?

The new CRCHS clinic will en-able more residents to utilize ourlocal providers, which keeps ourresidents here to fill their prescrip-tions, maybe stop by the grocerystory and purchase other things inBoardman. Let’s keep our invest-ment HERE in Boardman.

Your cash investment or pledgeto this building campaign will le-verage critical foundation supportand help secure public funds. Con-tact CRCHS, 201 SW Kinkade, POBox 397, Boardman, OR 97818 orcall 541.481-7212 with your pledge.

Kris Baker Dorran is Boardman

Quilt Show’s Featured Quilter

You may enter or just enjoy the

6th Annual Boardman Quilt Show

The Featured Quilter at the 6th

Annual Boardman Quilt Show hashad a variety of careers and experi-ences, which she draws on in hercreative projects. Kris Dorran, 2010Featured Quilter, grew up inBoardman Oregon. In her earlydays, she was known as Kris Baker.She graduated from Riverside HighSchool in Boardman in 1980, andfrom Oregon State University in1985.

Kris attributes her interest insewing and textile arts to hermother, Mildred Baker.

“My mother has always sewn,I don’t think I had a ‘store bought’dress until I was in the sixth grade.She taught me to sew at a very earlyage. I sewed mostly clothes andreally didn’t get into quilting untilI was in my thirties. Once I did getinto quilting I pretty much stoppedmaking clothes all together.” After graduating from OSU, Krisfarmed with her dad, Harold Bakerfor a year. She moved on to anotheraspect of the business world whenK-Mart Corporation hired her. During the 20 years she was withK-Mart, she managed 11 K-Martstores in eight states. In 2006, Kris left K-Mart, andmoved with her husband Randy

back to his hometown, Hermiston. She continues to work full time inmanagement and quilts for plea-sure. She shares that she reallyenjoys making smalleritems, table runners, tabletoppers and wall hang-ings.

“I like the quick grati-fication that the smallerfinished product givesme.” Seasonal ones areher favorites and she hasbeen known to make themfor almost any and everyseason. For a weddingpresent for one of herfriends she make a set of12 table runners, one forevery month.

For larger projects,Kris really enjoysmaking the ‘scrappytype’ of quilts.

“My favorite chal-lenge is to make some-thing out of leftovers. My mothernever threw anything away andshe has passed that trait on to me.”

Kris likes a challenge and en-joys using computer software pro-grams to make her original designs. “It is very helpful to be able to‘draw’ them out in color before cut-

ting into and potentially wastingfabric.”

2010 Featured Quilter KrisDorran will be available to share

(Boardman OR.) —Rural com-munities in Oregon have been buf-feted by shifting natural resourcepolicies and globalizing econo-mies, yet family legacies, attach-ment to place, and traditional in-stitutions help these communitiespreserve their heritage of makinga living from the land. What doesrural Oregon’s sustainable futurelook like?

This is the focus of “Land-scapes and Livelihoods: A Sus-tainable Future for Rural Oregon,”a free program with Southern Or-egon University professor VictoriaSturtevant on Tuesday, Septem-ber 14, 2010 at 6:30pm at the OTLD

Boardman library, 200 South MainStreet, Boardman. This program issponsored by Oregon Humanitiesand the Libraries of Eastern Oregon(LEO).

Sturtevant’s experience in thecoal-mining region of Kentuckysparked her interest in resource-based communities. Since 1980, shehas taught sociology and environ-mental studies at Southern OregonUniversity. Her research focuseson social dimensions of forest man-agement, particularly community in-volvement in social assessment,ecological monitoring, wildfire plan-ning, and collaborative steward-ship.

Diane Wolfe, CEODear Community,

Well, since September is here,I guess that means fall is here! Fall is my favorite time of the yearand you can almost smell it in theair, I love the warm days and coolnights. August was anotherbusy month. I tried to find sometime to take a few days up, butwe just had too much going onhere in Boardman to get away. And personally I think that is awonderful problem!

It has been a fun learning ex-perience working with PGE andthe local union on the closing ofthe Coal-fired plant. We held avery successful Public Utility

Commission at the Port of Mor-row in August and had a reallygood turn-out. Now we will beworking on the public commentperiod for the DEQ. I had theopportunity to tour the Coal-fired plant, thank you DougPope for arranging the tour andbeing such a wonderful tourguide. I really enjoyed it.

September will keep thechamber office busy working onRollin’ on the River and Mor-row County Leadership. Andwe will be working on CareerDay and all the normal work thatgoes on in the office. We areworking hard to update the web,you should see new picturessoon and we are re-writing thecopy. We just completed thenew Morrow County brochureand the Morrow County Tour-ism Committee is really pleasedwith the results.

It is such a pleasure to liveand work in Boardman; youmake a great community to callhome!Till next month. di

You’ll find the “Yard of theMonth” sign for September at thecorner of Mt Adams and Wilsonstreets in Boardman.

I’m sure many of you have no-ticed the spacious lawn and tidygrounds surrounding a generousduplex there. Not often does onefind a duplex so adorned.

Yes indeed, the owner GrantChapman came to Boardman 20years ago, built this duplex andnow his wife Kathy and he coop-erate with the neighbors Tom andDorothy in keeping the ground pic-ture perfect. Their grandson Jackwho is living with them this sum-mer loves to help too.

Their lovely corner lot meldsnicely into the green belt of natu-

ral habitat in back. That habitatbrings many winged visitors to theassorted nosegays of colorful flow-ers tucked into corners of the yard.These displays bloom their headsoff from early spring to late fall.Birds can also be seen drinkingfrom and bathing in three differentwater features, a fountain, a waterfall and a pond.

In back there is a white trellissurrounded by flowers where if onewished he might sit and view thegorgeous Boardman sunsets overthe Columbia River while listeningto water music from one of the wellplaced water displays.

Beautiful work Chapmans.Thanks from Gardening Friends ofBoardman.

HermistonThe UmatillaC h e m i c a lAgent Dis-posal Facility(UMCDF) onAugust 3 de-stroyed theoldest mus-tard ton con-tainer storedat the UmatillaDepot.

The 70-year-old toncontainer wasmanufacturedin 1940. In1946, it wasfilled with1,768 pounds of mustard agent atthe Rocky Mt. Arsenal, near Den-ver, Colo., and later transported toUMCD between 1962-1969, whereit remained in storage until its dis-posal. Depot employees nick-named the container “Grandpa.”Depot maps identified its storagestructure as “Grandpa’s House.”

In a statement to UMCDF work-ers for disposal of the oldest toncontainer in Umatilla’s storage aswell as recent progress on disposalof mustard ton containers, CarmenSpencer, Deputy Assistant Secre-tary of the Army (Elimination ofChemical Weapons), said “Thankyou for the job you do every day,thanks for gutting it out through

difficult times. UMCDF is posi-tioned very well for continued suc-cess. Achieving the treaty date iswithin our reach.”

“Disposal of ‘Grandpa’ is an-other positive step forward in elimi-nating the chemical stockpile atUmatilla Chemical Depot.” said Lt.Col. Kris Perkins, depot com-mander. “We remain focused onour mission to safely and compli-antly destroy the remaining chemi-cal stockpile to ensure increasedsafety of the surrounding commu-nities and our nation.”

Unitary chemical munitionswere shipped to the depot from1962 to 1969. The Army plannedto ship chemical weapons from

Okinawa to the depot in the lateSixties, but Oregon Gov. TomMcCall objected along with NWCongressional representatives.President Richard Nixon latersigned an order stopping furthershipments of unitary chemicalweapons to the depot.

The Depot will be celebratingits 69th birthday this October.Originally built to support theWWII effort, the Depot first re-ceived conventional munitions in1941. All of the conventional mu-nitions were removed from the de-pot in 1994 after years of depotsupport during World War II, theKorean War, Vietnam and the GulfWar.

The oldest mustard ton container stored at the Umatilla Chemical Depot wasdestroyed August 3, 2010 at the Umatilla Chemical Agent Disposal Facility.

Boardman Mayor Chet Phillipsled the discussion, sayingBoardman has a per capita incomeof over $36,000. He said Boardmanhas a need to provide competitivehousing to draw employees of lo-

cal businesses to live in Boardman,citing 60 or 70 percent of its work-ers now drive 30 to 60 miles eachway to work each day. DebbieRadie of Boardman Foods agreed,saying they have a need to hire 30to 50 more employees and wouldlike them to live in Boardman be-cause living locally makes thembetter employees.

The Boardman City Council re-cently put into action recommen-dations from the Economic Devel-opment Committee for incentivessuspending system developmentcharges for a year and offering freewater and sewer services for up tothree months to new homeowners.The Committee has been meetingfor several months with a focus on

new housing for Boardman. Ac-cording to the recently completedBuildable Lands Inventory , thereare 60 lots for single family resi-dential available with infrastructurealready in place, large parcel singlefamily residential lots totaling 276acres ready for infrastructure, and71.5 acres of large parcel zoned formulti-family.

Mayor Phillips said “it is cer-tainly refreshing to see that somany of the participants were ac-ceptable to looking at new, creativeways to meet the needs of qualityhousing development in the Cityof Boardman. We have the jobs,we have the income, let’s build thehouses.”

Pharmacy & Your Health

When you need a prescription filled, how do you decide where to go?

Convenience and price are the factors that drive most of us. I’d like to suggest that

there are additional factors to consider. In fact, there are many reasons to think and act

locally, not only to get your prescriptions filled quickly and at a fair price, but also to

ensure that our community thrives.

While we see chain stores popping up everywhere, did you know that there are

24,000 independent community pharmacies in the US today? And that their local

pharmacists fill 44 percent of the retail prescriptions sold each year? These pharmacies

do an excellent job not only in filling prescriptions but helping customers understand

how and when to take their prescriptions. A 2002 Consumer Reports survey of 32,000

readers found that 85 percent of surveyed Consumer Reports readers were very

satisfied or completely satisfied with their experience at independents compared with 58

percent of chain drugstore customers.

These same Consumer Reports readers also reported that independent

pharmacies were most likely to have fast service and helpful pharmacists. This may be

partly due to the entrepreneurial character of independents, which puts their owner-

operator at least one step closer to their patients than other types of pharmacies. This

often translates into fewer delays in filling orders, shorter waits in line, and more personal

attention from pharmacists. Consumer Reports readers found independent pharmacists

to be accessible, approachable, and especially knowledgeable about both prescription

and nonprescription medications.

Local community pharmacies are often a good source of hard-to-find

medications. The Consumer Reports survey found that when these local pharmacies

were out of a medication, they were able to get it for patients within one day 80 percent

of the time. Other types of pharmacies were only able to restock within a day about 55

percent of the time.

So, what about costs? Cost is less of an issue at independents today than it was

in the past because most pharmacies accept insurance plans. Your copayment will be

the same at all pharmacies. The Consumer Report’s research found that the chains

they evaluated charged the highest prices, presumably for prescriptions not covered by

insurance.

But beyond the personal attention, professional service, high standard of care,

and lower costs of independents, there are other reasons to shop locally at independent

pharmacies. Economics is one. Local businesses tend to hire locally for positions that

are often centralized in a chain’s headquarters. Compared with the select inventory of

chains, independents also carry local items in addition to national brand items.

And the profits from locally-owned businesses more often make their way back

into the community. In fact a 2003 Independent Business Alliance economic impact

study conducted in Texas found that more than three times as much money stayed in

the community when it was spent at local businesses than when it was spent at chains.

Add to this the higher costs for road maintenance and public safety services of the

chains, and you have some strong financial arguments in favor of independent

pharmacies.

When you spend your money with local independent businesses, too, you are

having a critical say in the look and feel of your town, and taking one step toward

helping to preserve its unique character. That’s something that can’t be measured in

dollars.

Umatilla Chemical Depot,Hermiston, Ore. – The UmatillaChemical Agent Disposal Facility(UMCDF) has surpassed the 50percent mark for destroying theoriginal stockpile of chemical war-fare agents at the Umatilla Chemi-cal Depot. This includes all of thenerve agent and a portion of themustard agent destroyed since thestart of chemical operations in 2004.

As of Aug. 6, the UMCDF haddestroyed more than 1,858 tons ofliquid chemical agents, or half theoriginal total of 3,717 tons storedat Umatilla since the 1960s.

“This is an exciting time to be apart of this program,” said GaryAnderson, the U.S. Army’s SiteProject Manager at the UMCDF.“In my first month here, I can clearlysee the expertise and desire to en-sure success. I’m confident we’llcontinue to live up to the high ex-pectations and trust our work hasgenerated in the community.”

UMCDF surpasses 50 percent

milestone in agent destruction“This is a great accomplishment

for all of the 1,200 employees at thedepot and disposal facility,” saidLt. Col. Kris Perkins, commanderof the Umatilla Chemical Depot.“Safety and compliance will remaina continued focus.”

The UMCDF began incinerat-ing chemical agents in September2004 and has since destroyed allof Umatilla’s GB and VX nerveagents. Although the UMCDF hasprocessed only 50 percent of thechemical agent, it has destroyedmore than 99 percent of the indi-vidual chemical munitions in theUmatilla stockpile.

The UMCDF took nearly sixyears to process the first half of itschemical agent stockpile becausemost of the nerve agent was storedin relatively small amounts in rock-ets, land mines, artillery shells andbombs.

The UMCDF is expected to take

two years or less to destroy thelast half of its stockpile becausemustard agent is stored in onlyone configuration – large steelcontainers with no explosives, al-lowing larger volumes of agent tobe processed on a daily basisthrough the facility’s two LiquidIncinerators.

Now in its final campaign, theUMCDF has fewer than 2,100 mus-tard ton containers remaining to beprocessed. The facility began mus-tard processing in June 2009.

As chemical agent disposalplants around the country movethrough their mustard agent stock-piles, the U.S. Army Chemical Ma-terials Agency and its contractorsare rapidly increasing the percent-age of U.S. stockpile destroyed. InJuly 2010, the U.S. surpassed the75 percent completion mark forchemical agents in the original na-tional stockpile.

Second Mosquito pool test positive for

West Nile Virus in Morrow County.West Nile virus was isolated in

a second mosquito pool at a sitenear Irrigon, Morrow County, ac-cording to Oregon Public Healthofficials and Oregon State Univer-sity, Veterinary Diagnostics Labo-ratory. This is the second WestNile virus positive mosquitoesdetected in Morrow County thissummer.

Health officials are advisingpeople in Morrow County to takeprecautions against mosquitoes inorder to avoid the risk of infection.

“The risk of contracting WestNile virus is low but we do encour-age people to take appropriate pre-cautions to protect themselvesagainst mosquito bites,” said Dr.Emilio DeBess, state public healthveterinarian.

This is the third case of WestNile virus in the State of Oregon in2010. Washington State and Cali-fornia have had WNV mosquitoactivity since early summer.

Mosquito pools testing posi-

tive in any area could lead to hu-man as well as animal infection sohealth officials recommend mos-quito bite protection especially inthe evening hours. Mosquitotraps are set at night in various lo-cations throughout the county.The trapped insects are sorted byspecies and tested for West Nilevirus.

Eighty percent of people in-fected with West Nile virus exhibitno symptoms. Of the remaining 20percent most have very mild symp-toms, such as fever, headaches andnausea lasting from three to sixdays. In a few cases, more severesymptoms occur including convul-sions or disorientation. The cen-tral nervous system also may beaffected resulting in febrile head-ache, aseptic meningitis or en-cephalitis.

DeBess says simple precau-tions can prevent the spread ofWest Nile virus:· Eliminate sources of standing

water that are a breeding groundfor mosquitoes, including wateringtroughs, birdbaths, clogged gut-ters and old tires;· Avoid outdoor activities at duskand dawn when mosquitoes aremost active;· Wear long-sleeved shirts andlong pants in mosquito-infestedareas;· Use mosquito repellents con-taining DEET, Oil of Lemon Euca-lyptus or Picardin and followthe directions on the container;· Make sure screen doors andwindows are in good repair and fittightly.

Additional information aboutWest Nile virus is available at:http://www.oregon.gov/DHS/ph/acd/diseases/wnile/wnile.shtml.Morrow County Health Depart-ment http://www.oregon.gov/DHS/ph/lhd/county_directories/Morrow.pdfMorrow Countyhttp://morrowcountyoregon.com/


The Boardman Police Depart-ment is now offering child safetyseat inspections and installations,free of charge to the public. Of-ficer Chris Tiboni was recently cer-tified as a Child Passenger SafetySeat Technician through Safe KidsWorldwide, using curriculum pro-vided by the National HighwayTraffic Safety Administration. Cer-tified Child Passenger Safety Tech-nicians can check safety seats forcorrect installation, damage, re-calls, and size and age appropri-ateness.

In 2004, there were 495 passen-ger vehicle occupant fatalitiesamong children under 5 years ofage. Of those 495 fatalities, an esti-mated 173 (35%) were totally unre-strained. Among children under 5years old, an estimated 451 liveswere saved in 2004 by child re-

Boardman Police Department offers

child safety seat programstraint use. Of these 451 livessaved, 413 were associated with theuse of child safety seats and 38with the use of adult belts. Childsafety seats can reduce fatal injuryby 71 percent for infants and by 54percent for toddlers, ages 1-4.

An awareness gap exists whenit comes to child passenger safety,while 96 percent of parents andcaregivers believe their child safetyseats are installed correctly, re-search shows that seven out of 10children are improperly restrained.The most common child safety seatinstallation mistake are, not usingthe right child safety seats for achild’s size and age; not placingthe child safety seat in the correctdirection; incorrect installation ofthe child safety seat in relation tothe vehicle’s air bags; incorrect in-

stallation and tightness of the childsafety seat to the vehicle seat; notsecuring or tightening the childsafety seat’s harness and crotchstraps; improper use of lockingclips for certain vehicle safetybelts; not making sure the vehicle’sseat belts fit properly across thechild when using a booster seat;and using a defective or brokenchild safety seat.

With an inspection and instal-lation from the Boardman PoliceDepartment, you can greatly in-crease your child’s safety in anaccident. Appointments can bemade Monday through Friday bycalling the Boardman Police De-partment at 541-481-6071, ask forOfficer Tiboni. Each seat takesabout 30 minutes to check but thepeace of mind will last forever!

BOARDMAN – The BoardmanRural Fire Protection District onFriday (Aug. 27) officially filed withthe Morrow County elections of-fice to place an $11 million generalobligation bond on the Nov. 2 Gen-eral Election ballot. If approved byvoters, the bond would build a newfire station, pay off its current debtobligation, and replace an agingladder truck

Twelve years ago, by a vote ofthe people, the Boardman Rural FireProtection District annexed the Cityof Boardman to create a more effi-cient fire department. In the yearssince, the BRFPD has seen its com-

munity and fire district grow be-yond its expectations. The currentBRFPD building is at maximum ca-pacity. Built in 1973, it was remod-eled in 1998 to help with growth.Since the station was originallybuilt, Sam Boardman Elementaryand Windy River Elementary havebeen constructed across the street.There is no room for expansion atthe current location. A new stationwould include updated training fa-cilities that could be utilized by theBRFPD and other local emergencyservices.

A key component in the Board’sview is the opportunity this fund-

ing could provide for a Fire Sci-ence/EMT college program. In thistype of program, 15 students workand live at the fire station on aninternship, which is a requirementfor their degrees. At the same time,these students would also do shiftwork while at the station and pro-vide emergency fire and EMS callswhen not attending classes. Theseinterns could aid staffing levels atthe District, which could then po-tentially provide 24/7 service, 365days a year, to the community with-out having to pay for additionalstaff. The current structure doesnot have room for this program.

Drinking water protection isavailable for private wells

Pendleton, Ore. – The OregonPublic Health Division andUmatilla County Public Health rec-ommend that home owners withprivate wells north of MiltonFreewater test their water periodi-cally for coliform bacteria. Theshallow ground water aquifer northof Milton Freewater is known tobe contaminated and residentsshould take measures to assurethat their well water is safe to drink.Wells can become contaminatedby surface water or shallowgroundwater, especially duringperiods of high run-off due to rain-fall, snowmelt, or stream flooding.

“The best way to determine ifthe well has been contaminated isto have a water sample tested by adrinking water laboratory” statedGenni Lehnert, AdministratorUmatilla County Public Health.

If your home water supply iscontaminated with fecal coliform(E.coli) bacteria, property ownersshould boil their drinking water oruse an alternate source such asbottled water. Water should beboiled for 1 minute after it reachesa “rolling boil”. Boiled or bottledwater should be used for drinking,making ice, brushing teeth andfood preparation. Boiling kills bac-teria and other organisms in thewater.· The water is safe for hand wash-ing and bathing, but peopleshould not swallow the water.· Washing dishes can be safelydone by using hot water (dish-washer) or placing 1 capful ofbleach in the rinse water.

If you experience symptomssuch as diarrhea, cramps, nausea,or headaches and they persist, you

may want to seek medical advice.Infants, young children, some eld-erly, and people with severely com-promised immune systems may beat an increased risk for medicalcomplications.

If a well has been contaminatedby a specific flooding event or sur-face run-off, the well should be dis-infected with bleach and flushed.If this temporary disinfection pro-cedure does not eliminate the bac-teria, continuous treatment may berequired. Common treatment unitsthat can be installed for your hometo continuously treat bacteria in-clude ultraviolet units and chlori-nation.

BOARDMAN – The Board ofDirectors for the Boardman RuralFire Protection District voted unani-mously in favor of placing an $11million General Obligation Bond onthe November 2, 2010, ballot at itsregular Board meeting Thursdayevening. With voter approval ofthe funds, the District would builda new fire station, pay off its cur-rent debt obligation, and replacean aging ladder truck

While an attempt to pass a simi-lar bond two years ago narrowlyfailed, Board member JerryJohnson is optimistic the commu-nity will support the bond this timearound.

“We are good stewards of thetax payer’s money, and have neverasked for funds beyond what theyalready pay towards having theDistrict,” Johnson said. “We arenot increasing the amount we

asked for last time. We are con-vinced the new fire station wouldbring added value to the commu-nity in a myriad of ways, especiallyas a long term training center, andwould be something we could allbe truly proud of.”

Twelve years ago, by a vote ofthe people, the Boardman RuralFire Protection District annexed theCity of Boardman to create a moreefficient fire department. In theyears since, the BRFPD has seenits community and fire district growbeyond its expectations. The cur-rent BRFPD building is at maximumcapacity. Built in 1973, it was re-modeled in 1998 to help withgrowth. Since the station was origi-nally built, Sam Boardman Elemen-tary and Windy River Elementaryhave been constructed across thestreet.
