Maggie Collins,was crowned a yearago as the 2012 Fairand OTPR Queen re-starting a legacy forMorrow County. Due to fundingcuts the royalty has been cut downfrom the larger well know court toonly a Queen. Most neighboringcounties, fairs, and rodeos haveopted to having only a Queenwhich has worked well.

HEPPNER, Ore. (Nov. 27, 2012) —Private landowners working onenhancing the sustainability oftheir farm, ranch or non-industrialprivate forestland now have addi-tional time to apply for technicaland financial assistance throughtheir local USDA Natural Re-sources Conservation Service(NRCS) office. The deadline forapplication has been extended toDecember 21, 2012.

NRCS works in partnership withprivate landowners, conservationand agricultural groups to identifyand prioritize natural resource con-cerns within our communitiesacross Oregon. This local guid-ance ensures that NRCS workscollaboratively with land managersand partners to address and im-prove resource issues on a land-scape scale.

“Landowners now have addi-tional time to come in and talk tous about their natural resourcegoals and concerns,” said KaceeLathrop, District Conservationist inMorrow County.

Based on input from the com-munity and available funding, thefollowing natural resource prob-

lems will receive higher priority inthe local application selection pro-cess.· Restoring forest health andprotecting forests from the threatof Wildfire in the Blakes Ranch andPenland Lake areas.· Rangeland management andwildlife habitat improvements formule deer and upland game birdsin the Heppner Wildlife Manage-ment Unit. As well as aspen resto-ration.· Juniper removal in the UpperRock Creek Watershed· Russian olive control on prop-erties south of Boardman.· Increasing farm efficiency andreducing soil erosion by re-design-ing and rebuilding terraces to befarm over but still structurally vi-able to reduce soil erosion in theEightmile Watershed.

The Environmental Quality In-centives Program (EQIP) is a vol-untary conservation program tohelp farmers, ranchers, and non-in-dustrial forestland owners improveand enhance the condition of wa-ter, soil, and other natural resourceson private working lands. Theseprograms also offer additional as-

sistance for beginning, historicallyunderserved and limited resourcefarmers, ranchers and forestry own-ers. For landowner stories, visitthe Oregon NRCS ConservationShowcase website: http://www.or.nrcs.usda.gov/news/showcase/index.html

NRCS encourages and invitesinterested agricultural, forestry andlivestock producers to visit theirlocal USDA Service Center andapply for and complete their pro-gram eligibility before the Decem-ber 21, 2012 deadline. If you havenot participated in USDA programsin the past, it is important to con-tact your local NRCS field office assoon as possible to ensure youhave the time needed to make in-formed decisions and complete theapplication process.

1. Local Character & ProsperityIn an increasingly regimentedworld, communities that preservetheir one-of-a-kind businesses(who doesn’t love the idea of ‘momn’ pop stores?) and unique charac-ter have a financial advantage. Local retailers also provide strongsupport to locally-made products,keeping money in our community.2. Community Well-BeingLocally owned businesses buildstrong communities by sustainingvibrant town centers, building eco-nomic and social relationships be-tween shoppers, and contributingto local causes. According to anAIBA Economic Impact case study,every dollar you spend at an inde-pendent, local business, it creates3.5 times more local economic ben-efit than dollars spent at a chainstore.3. Local Decision-MakingLocal ownership ensures that im-portant decisions are made locallyby people who live in the commu-nity and who will feel the impactsof those decisions. Thinking ofsupporting a local cause? Accord-ing to an Anderson Study of RetailEconomics, locally-owned firmscontribute more to local charities

Ten(10) reasons to shop Boardmanand fundraisers than do their na-tional counterparts.4. Keeping Dollars in the LocalEconomyCompared to chain stores, locallyowned businesses recycle a muchlarger share of their revenue backinto the local economy, enrichingthe whole community. Accordingto a civic economic study in Michi-gan, for every $100 spent at a lo-cally-owned business, $68 stays inthe local economy compared toonly $43 if spent at a national chain.5. Jobs and WagesLocally owned businesses createmore local jobs and, in some sec-tors, provide better wages and ben-efits than chains do. Local retail-ers and distributors also carry ahigher percentage of locally-madegoods than the chains, creatingmore jobs for local producers.6. EntrepreneurshipEntrepreneurship fuels America’seconomic innovation and prosper-ity, and serves as a key means forfamilies to move out of low-wagejobs and into the middle class. Supporting local community nowcan benefit our future generations.7. Public Benefits and CostsLocal stores require comparatively

little infrastructure and make moreefficient use of public services rela-tive to big box stores and stripshopping malls. Also it gives youthe opportunity to get out andmingle with your community, with-out the hustle and bustle of manybig box stores.8. Environmental SustainabilityShopping locally helps to sustainBoardman by keeping it vibrant andcompact- which in turn is essentialto reducing automobile use, and airpollution. Besides- sometimes it isnice to spend a weekend withouthaving to drive out of town! Also-think of the gas you’d save on!9. CompetitionA marketplace of many small busi-nesses is the best way to ensureinnovation and low prices over thelong-term.10. Product DiversityA multitude of small businesses,each selecting products based, noton a national sales plan, but ontheir own interests and the needsof their local customers, guaranteesa much broader range of productchoices. What if no one inBoardman wants a Snuggie? Onlyour local retailers would know suchinformation.

City of Boardman Code Compli-ance Official Keri Jarmer wants toremind everyone to take specialcare of their pets during the com-ing winter months. Just as peoplemake adjustments in their clothingduring winter months, it is neces-sary to make some adjustments inyour pet’s care. A good rule to fol-low is if you’re cold outside, yourpet is cold too! The following aresome winter care tips to keep inmind:· Limit time outdoors with yourpet if the thermometer reads belowfreezing, especially for small orshort-haired animals.· Dogs who spend plenty of timeoutdoors, even if protected by adoghouse, run a risk of death dueto the cold. The doorway of yourdog’s house should be faced awayfrom the wind or covered. Also, thehouse should be well-insulated and

just big enough for them to standup, turn around, and lie down in-side comfortably. A doghouse thatis too big won’t contain your dog’sbody heat and stay warm. For mul-tiple dogs, consider a house largeenough to let them cuddle to-gether.· Dogs and cats who lack thickfur coats and have low body fatreserves are generally not suitedfor cold temperatures. Pets who areold or who have been ill can alsobe sensitive to winter weather.When it’s frigid outside, it is espe-cially important to keep them in-doors or to provide a warm shelteroutside the house. Consider dress-ing your dog in a warm dog sweateror jacket whenever you go for awalk.· Winter is a miserable time to belost. Be sure your dog has a Citylicense. The cost is $10 and all that

is needed to get one is to provide acopy of your dog’s current rabiesvaccination. You can download theCity’s dog license form by goingto http://www.cityofboardman.com/clerks/dog.pdf .· Keeping warm depletes energy.Pets that spend a lot of time out-doors may need additional food.· Water should be checked regu-larly to make sure it is not frozen.To prevent your pet’s tongue fromfreezing to a metal bowl, use plas-tic.· All outdoor animals need pro-tection from the elements. Remem-ber the wind chill factor can lowertemperatures drastically.· Warm automobile engines canbe dangerous for cats and smallwildlife that are seeking warmth.Try to get in the habit of rappingyour car’s hood before you startyour engine.

It’s winter, take special care of your pets
