Boardman Buzzzzzzzz

Greetings Boardman, I’m not sure when reflection is a good thingbut I thought I would share some historyabout our Boardman Chamber. I also knowsome of our long time residents might have aslightly different version so here’s what I canremember since arriving in Boardman in 1986.Prior to February of 1998 we did not have aChamber Director, a building or an office butwe did have a phone with an an-swering machine, P.O. Box #1 anda community of volunteers.

So do you remember our firstChamber Director? None otherthan Carol Michael in 1998 who withthe cooperation of so many but es-pecially with the intergovernmen-tal agreement with the City ofBoardman the Boardman Park andRecreation District for locating usat 206 N. Main Street the old police depart-ment. With the help of Tony Chavez (Cham-ber President) we got a desk, filing cabinet,and brochure racks from UEC, a computer fromThe North Morrow Times, a printer fromBoardman Park and Recreation.

And so it begins..... 16 years later we’vehad 5 wonderful Directors, stable funding, abeautiful office location at the SAGE Centerwith the support from the Port of Morrow, 2and a half employees a Beautiful retail Storeand over 180 members.Some things do take time to grow but I thinkwe can all be proud of the strides we havemade including a New Middle School, a beau-tiful new Medical Facility, New City Hall, Po-lice Dept, Pharmacy, Banks, Restaurants, walk-ing trails an amazing park, Marina and so muchmore.

So Thank You to all of you for your sup-port and the many, many volunteers.

Port gets $6m grant forwarehouse, rail projectConnect Oregon V grant provides al-most half the funding for rail spur andcold storage facility

BOARDMAN, Ore. (Aug. 22, 2014)– The Oregon TransportationCommission approved a $6 milliongrant for a new cold storage railtransload facility at the Port ofMorrow Friday during its meetingin Ontario.

The port will provide an $8 mil-lion match with the sale of port rev-enue bonds and theConnectOregon funds will make upthe remaining cost for the $14 mil-lion facility, which is expected tobegin operations in Spring 2015.

Specifications include a 2,500-foot rail spur with switches, and100,000 square feet of warehousespace. The cold storage facility –in the port’s East Beach IndustrialPark – will have 75,000 square feetof frozen space and 25,000 squarefeet of refrigerated space.

Port of Morrow General Man-ager Gary Neal said the facility willbe a public warehouse that isowned and operated by the port.The facility manager has beenhired and will bring on an addi-tional 25 employees, all of whichwill be Port of Morrow staff. Con-struction plans include pavedtruck access, lighting, and fencing.

“Cold storage space at the Portof Morrow is a critical part of theport’s infrastructure to utilize theintermodal transportation benefitsof the port’s strategic location,”Neal said. “This new facility at theport and the interconnection to allmodes of transportation was thereason Connect Oregon was con-ceived and implemented by theOregon legislature.”

The commission approved 36

out of the 37 recommendedprojects. According to the OregonDepartment of Transportation,ConnectOregon focuses on im-proving connections and support-ing local economies throughoutthe state. The Oregon legislaturefirst approved ConnectOregon in2005.

The region’s food processingindustry, including many busi-nesses in the port’s industrial park,will be able to take advantage ofthe warehousing capacity to assistthem in freezing and distributingproducts across the United Statesvia the railroad, highways, andbarging to export terminals in Port-land.

“With increased growth in ourregion’s agricultural industry, theneed for this facility has reachedthe level where the port has deter-mined this to be its highest prior-ity in our strategic investmentplans to address these needs,”Neal said.

Drive Careful

City applies for ODOT Special CityAllotment

During their August 5, 2014council meeting, Boardman CityCouncilors approved application tothe Oregon Department of Trans-portation for a Special City Allot-ment. Boardman applied for con-struction of curbs and sidewalksfor a future construction of a streetwhich will be located between FalerRoad and Chaparell Drive.

These Special City Allotmentstotal $1,000,000.00 in funds dis-persed by the Department ofTransportation to cities with apopulation of 5,000 or less. Fortysix small cities qualify for the allot-ments and are to be used for streetprojects, not a part of the statehighway system, that areinadequate,or are in a condition

detrimental to safety. Each allot-ment will be for $50,000.00 and willbe dispersed for the 2015-2016 fis-cal year.

In other city business, the citysold a parcel of land, located nearthe city’s waste water lagoons toUmatilla Electric for a radio tower.The $131,000.00 is earmarked forthe new splash pad park project.


Fire Department historyBoardman Rural Fire Protection

District was formed in the early1970’s to provide fire protection forthe residents living outside theCity of Boardman, and they builtthe current fire station located onWilson Lane. The 1970 Census

shows Boardman with a populationof 192.

As the community grew, the in-creased need of fire protection be-came the focus of the Fire Districtand the City of Boardman. In 1998,the City of Boardman and the FireDistrict voted to form a single uni-fied entity to provide fire protec-tion: Boardman Rural Fire Protec-tion District. Current Fire ChiefMarc Rogelstad was hired at thattime to manage the District. From1970 to the year 2000, Boardmangrew to a population of 2,855. The2010 Census reports the popula-tion of the City of Boardman as3,220.How has the Fire District grown?

During the past 15 years, theFire District has grown to includeareas both to the east and west ofthe City. This expansion has in-creased the size of the coveragearea to 330 square miles. Why thegrowth? Through the years, theFire District had responded to callsfor help outside of the district, re-sponding to those in need. Even-tually, the District felt that if theunprotected areas wanted fire pro-tection, then they should join theFire District and pay taxes to sup-

Boardman Fire District asks approval of GO Bondport the District. As a result, theDistrict now covers these outlyingareas and has placed three sub sta-tions at Three Mile Farms,Boardman Coal Plant and ButterCreek Junction. When the Districtchanged to include the City ofBoardman, the taxable value was

approximately 210 million Dollars.As of the 2013-14 tax year, the valueof the Fire District was$1,211,966,147. That’s an increaseof over 1 billion dollars over thepast 15 years!

In the 1970’s there were two fac-tories in Boardman: Oregon Potatoand Lamb-Weston.

Today? There are over twodozen industries and counting:OPI; ConAgra; West Plant; EastPlant; Morrow Cold Storage; Coy-ote Springs PGE; Transloads (3);Calbee Foods; Boardman Foods;Treadit Tire; Reclaim; Pacific Etha-nol; Tillamook CRP; NorthwestContainers; 6 PDX sites; PlanerMill; Cascade Specialties; WilburEllis; Oregon Hay; Dodge Logging;ZeaCham; PGG (formerly Cargill);Tidewater; and Transfer Stations.How bad is the present facility?

The Wilson Lane Fire hall wasconstructed in the 1970’s and re-modeled in 1999 for a town of 1,500people. It does not meet seismiccriteria, is deficient in ADA com-pliance and other repairs areneeded. There is no room on thatlot to expand, which means thattraining is often done on vacantstreets or lots with permission.

Accessing Wilson Lane has be-come increasingly difficult withSam Boardman Elementary andWindy River School and the sub-sequent traffic.

What’s the solution?Boardman Rural Fire Protection

District is proposing a General

Obligation Bond not exceeding$13.715 million for a new Emer-gency Services Station. Voterswithin the Boardman Ru-ral Fire Protection Districtwill have the opportunityto vote on this in the No-vember 4th election. If ap-proved, this GO Bond willfurnish the money to pur-chase land, construct andequip a new fire stationand training facility on thecorner of Olsen Street andColumbia Avenue. Thestation will include hous-ing for 24-hour firefighterstaff, emergency medicaltechnician (EMT) staff,and students enrolled inthe Educational Sleeper Program,who would supplement volunteersto reduce response times and in-crease staffing resources available.This facility will be good for 50years!

Until 1998, the District was en-tirely run by volunteers. Over theyears a healthy roster filled trucksfor emergencies with some re-sponders having to wait at the sta-tion. That has dramaticallychanged. Currently the number of

volunteers is at the lowest since1998. This is due in large part tothe rigors of state and nationaltraining requirements. Limited timemakes volunteering an even moredifficult choice. Factories run con-tinuously, therefore employees arerarely allowed to leave their shiftto respond to a call for volunteerservice.

In 2008 the District received aSAFER fire grant that helped hirefour paid duty crew firefighters.The District has been able to re-tain these positions after the fund-ing from the grant concluded in2013. This means that the hall iscurrently staffed seven days perweek from 8:00 to 5:00. After 5:00pm and on weekends if there is a“call out”, the staff who show upreceive “comp time” for their un-paid fire call and hopefully, addi-tional volunteers show up for theevent. The new facility wouldhave an additional two paid staffmembers plus up to six studentvolunteers per shift.

Currently, emergency events areoften met at a minimum level. Vol-unteers are necessary for meetingthe staffing requirements. In 1998,

there were 98 fire responses; in2013 there were 242 responses. Cur-rently in 2014 they are exceeding

the previous year run numbers.What kind of training will there

be at the new facility?The District currently has be-

gun the second year of a highschool program with Riverside Jr/Sr High school and Oregon TrailFire Training Association. The newstation will house college studentswho seek a Fire Science Degreethrough Blue Mt. Community Col-lege with classroom and trainingfacilities on site. High school stu-

dents would have a choice tostay in the area in a chosen ca-reer (firefighting, emergencymedical services, nursing,healthcare) while providing ser-vices to friends and family. Thestudents taking the Fire Sciencecourses would be performing afirst responder duty in exchangefor education and housing at thenew fire station.

What else will be in thenew facility?

The new station will be amulti-use building, and is de-signed for local law enforcementservices with offices for the Mor-row County Sheriff and emer-gency medical service accommo-dations and emergency opera-tions center. The facility is largeenough to allow conferences forarea, state and national trainings.

Who pays for a GO Bond?Industry and business who

have an Enterprise Zone tax ex-emption WILL pay on this bondmeasure. Anticipated cost toproperty tax payers would be 47cents per $1,000 assessed value,which would be reduced as theDistrict continues to grow. Sincethe majority of the assessedvalue in the district is comprisedof businesses located in the Port

of Morrow, the GO Bond willmostly paid for by industries.Need more information?

The public is invited to stopby the fire hall at 300 SW WilsonLane from 8 - 5 daily to visit withstaff and take a close look at thearchitect’s floor plans and render-ings. You are also invited to voteYES on your November 4th bal-lot so your local fire protectioncan take the next step into thefuture!

Just spittin’ and whistlin’With the lazy-daisy-days of

summer upon us and with harvestabout over and school about tobegin its annual door opening,strange thoughts pass through mymind. Our kids have graduatedfrom the various high schools, onto college and leaving our smallcommunity forever…this after theirfamilies have invested life savingsto pay for mind-boggling tuitionfees to four-year colleges. Justdoesn’t seem right, somehow.

In some ways, this is a goodthing for those who can afford it,but for those who cannot afford it,it rapidly becomes a gigantic prob-lem. I am pretty sure that sendingour kids to a college or universityis a top priority in most family wantlists. So how can families solve thehigh cost of college tuition?

I got to thinking about the an-swer to this question. One answerlies in our own backyard. It is calledBlue Mountain Community Col-lege, a two-year institution for anassociate degree or two years ofbasic instruction to carry on to anyfour-year college or university.

Think of it. Two years of col-lege at BMCC at literally half thecost of any four-year institution.Further, specialty departmentswithin BMCC are tailored to ourvery own communities for jobgrowth.

Another thought I had was howto develop jobs for our graduatingseniors and keep them in our owncommunities. Take, for instance,the Port of Morrow. This Port dis-trict has brought into our areaworld-class industry and commercesecond only to the Portland area.These companies and institutions

such as ConAgra and TillamookCheese and Food Processing rightnow are recruiting young, eagerstudents who have good work eth-ics. BMCC in our own backyardhas the capability of workingclosely with these companies totailor classes that meet the needsof these companies.

So, after thinking of this, it cameto me that we can “have our cakeand eat it, too.” Simple—the com-bination of Blue Mountain Com-munity College, a “good old coun-try work force” and the tremen-dous industry job recruitment inprocess at the Port of Morrow of-fers a no-brainer solution to jobs,affordable education and stabiliz-ing our communities. What do youthink about this?

Just spittin’ and whistlin’ forsomething to do. Louie Carlson, Heppner

Time to start thinking aboutFALL CLEAN UP


Letter to the Editor:Re: Oregon DSL denies BoardmanCoal Terminal

Thank you Mary Abrams andGovernor Kitzhaber for respectingthe Yakimas, the Nez Perce, theUmatillas, and the ConfederatedTribes of Warm Springs.At a meeting in Washougal lastweek, a representative of the Co-lumbia River Intertribal Fish Com-mission said nothing has upset thetribes more than the proposed coaland oil shipments.

In 1983, Republican GovernorJohn Spellman of Washington said,as long as I am Governor, there willbe no pipeline under Puget Sound. Now there still is none.

Immoral nineteenth-century at-titudes remain dominant in the coaland oil industry. Jobs for the few,profits for the fewer, and harm toall.

Not only must the Boardmanproject be denied, but so shouldGlobal Partners’ oil terminal expan-sion proposal in Clatskanie. Fur-thermore public money should notbe used to improve their rail linesand the docks. No more subsidiesfor dangerous oil.Don Steinke360-892-15894833 NE 238 AveVancouver, WA 98682

West Nile virus, a mild flu-likedisease spread by mosquitoes, hasbeen reported to have been foundin two testing sites in MorrowCounty Oregon, according to Or-egon Public Health officials. Themosquitoes were collected on thenight of 8-18-14 near Boardman,Oregon.

Health officials are advisingpeople in Morrow County to takeprecautions against mosquitoes inorder to avoid the risk of infection.We want people in that area to beespecially careful to avoid gettingmosquito bites. “The risk of con-tracting West Nile virus may be low,but we do encourage people totake appropriate precautions toprotect themselves against mos-quito bites,” said Greg Barron,Manager of North Morrow VectorControl District. “We will continueto increase our mosquito controloperations utilizing our Ultra LowVolume (ULV) truck mountedsprayers and possibly some spray-ing by helicopter to reduce adultmosquito populations,” Barronsaid.

Dr. Emilio DeBess, public healthveterinarian says simple precau-tions can prevent the spread ofWest Nile virus:

· Eliminate sources of

standing water that are a breedingground for mosquitoes, includingwatering troughs, bird baths, or-namental ponds, buckets, wadingand swimming pools not in use andold tires.· When engaged in outdoor ac-tivities at dusk and dawn whenmosquitoes are most active protectyourself by using mosquito repel-lants containing DEET, oil of lemoneucalyptus or Picardin and followthe directions on the container.· Wear long-sleeved shirts andlong pants in mosquito-infestedareas.· Make sure screen doors andwindows are in good repair and fittightly.

Because of the number of mos-quito pools testing positive in anyarea could lead to infection, ShelleyWight, Morrow County HealthDepartment Health Educator / Com-municable Disease Coordinatorrecommends people and animals beprotected against mosquito bites.

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 (more) occur including

convulsions or disorientation. Thecentral nervous system also maybe affected, resulting in a headacheassociated with fever, aseptic men-ingitis or encephalitis. Consult yourhealth care provider if you havethese symptoms. Health Care Pro-viders may contact the MorrowCounty Health Department for in-formation on West Nile virus test-ing services that the Oregon Pub-lic Health Lab offers.

Heppner, Ore. — August 20, 2014— Morrow County School Districtannounced it will save an estimated$20,965 per yeara through energy-efficiency upgrades recently com-pleted at two of its schools. Withexpertise and cash incentives fromEnergy Trust of Oregon, theschool district implemented anHVAC Direct Digital Control tune-up to improve two academic build-ings in the district, lower overallenergy use and reduce the district’sdirect operating expenses.

Energy Trust provided energyanalysis through Ameresco Quan-tum, the vendor for the technicalstudy and has studies underwayfor four more academic buildingsin the district. The completed studyidentified issues within the schooldistrict’s HVAC system, both incontrol settings and improperlyfunctioning equipment. Siemensperformed the HVAC tune-up andequipment replacement.

The project has an estimatedpayback period of less than twomonths, when combined with thecash incentives provided by En-ergy Trust, and annual savings of$20,965 in energy costs. MorrowCounty School District expects tosave 14,093 therms of natural gaseach year — energy equal to heat-ing 28 homes for a year.

“As we continue to see expen-ditures increase, from textbooks toelectricity, it’s tremendously impor-tant to save every penny,” said DirkDirksen, superintendent, Morrow

Morrow County School District tapsinto savings through energy-efficiency upgradesImproves learning environment for students with Energy Trust ofOregon support

County School District. “Workingwith vendors and Energy Trust toreceive cash incentives for the en-ergy-efficiency upgrades providedus with a cost-effective way to re-duce installation costs now andsave on energy and energy costsfor years to come. We realize thedirect benefit this will have on stu-dents in enhancing their learningenvironment.”

Morrow County School Districtis also looking into implementingmore energy-efficiency projects inthe classroom environment of fourof the district’s schools.

“Without the help of indepen-dent nonprofits such as EnergyTrust, to provide both the exper-tise and the savings opportunities,projects like these would not bepossible in our rural area schooldistrict,” added Dirksen. “We lookforward to working with EnergyTrust in the future to identify andimplement more energy-savingopportunities for our schools.”

“Energy Trust supported morethan 180 schools with nearly $1million in cash incentives and tech-nical assistance for energy-effi-ciency projects installed last year,”said Oliver Kesting, commercialsector lead, Energy Trust. “We’repleased to be helping schools re-duce energy costs so they can in-vest those dollars in the class-room.” Since 2002, Energy Trusthas provided $6.5 million in cashincentives to help Oregon k-12schools make energy-efficiency

improvements.Morrow County schools, in

partnership with families and com-munities, provide each student theopportunity to develop values,knowledge, skills and self-confi-dence to become life-long learnersand responsible citizens.
