According to the Oregon StateArchives:

Morrow County was created in1885 from the western portion ofUmatilla County and a small por-tion of eastern Wasco County. Itwas named after Jackson Lee Mor-row, an early settler in the area andmember of the Legislative Assem-bly when the county was created.Morrow County is located in thenorth central part of the state andeast of the Cascade Mountains.The county is bounded by theColumbia River on the north,Umatilla County on the east, GrantCounty on the south, and GilliamCounty on the west. The countycontains 2,049 square miles.

Heppner was designated thetemporary county seat at the timethe county was created and nar-rowly defeated Lexington in theelection held in 1886 to determinethe permanent county seat.Heppner was originally calledStandsbury Flat for George W.Standsbury, one of the first whitesettlers in the area. Thesettlement’s name was changed toHeppner in 1873, in honor of HenryHeppner who in partnership withJackson Morrow had establisheda store in the town a year earlier.What is the Oregon Blue Book?

The Oregon Blue Book is thestate’s official directory and factbook. It contains listings and func-tional descriptions of governmentagencies and educational institu-tions. It also features an almanac,maps, facts about Oregon history

Are you up on facts about where we live?

and elections, as well as informa-tion on the arts, media, and othercultural institutions in Oregon. Theprint version of the Blue Book ispublished during odd-numberedyears as required by ORS 177.120.The Web version is updated regu-larly as information about changesbecomes available. The Web ver-sion is located at: http://bluebook.state.or.us/misc/about/about.htm

Goals and FeaturesThe primary goal of the Blue

Book is to help the citizens of Or-egon understand and gain accessto their government and related in-stitutions. To accomplish this, theBlue Book provides thousands ofWeb links. But understanding re-quires more than just directoriesthat list Web sites. Accordingly, theBlue Book is brimming with origi-nal content:

Several resources, such as theEconomy, Government Finance,and History sections, provide in-depth analysis to better place theOregon experience in context.

Dozens of state agency histo-ries show how state offices andfunctions have evolved since thefirst provisional government in the1840s.

Records retention schedulesdescribe the functions of stateagency programs in concise,straightforward language to helpmake large and complex agencies alittle easier to comprehend.

Of course, the Oregon experi-ence consists of much more thanjust understanding government.

For a broader perspective, the BlueBook provides access to hundredsof Oregon art and culture organi-zations, newspapers, radio and tele-vision stations, and more. And theOregon Topics section includeshundreds of links to subjects thatcut across rigid organizational hi-erarchies.

It also features cultural exhibitssuch as one celebrating the cen-tennial of woman suffrage in Or-egon and one showing the evolu-tion of the Blue Book over 100years. Other exhibits include Cen-tury Farms and Ranches; Depres-sion Era Public Works; the Lewisand Clark Exposition exhibit of1905 memorabilia; Oregon Trade-marks, which interprets the state’scolorful business history; and Or-egon at Work, which displays theincredible range of Oregon occu-pations over the decades. Mean-while, the Notable OregoniansGuide offers biographical sketchesof 70 individuals who have becomeprominent in various pursuits.

And kids are not left out. Thekid’s corner has a wealth of games,quizzes, trivia, and other resources.

Like Oregon, the Blue Book isexpansive - totaling thousands ofWeb pages. We encourage you toexplore the Blue Book and, by ex-tension, explore the state itself. Thescenic photos displayed through-out the Blue Book will give you ataste of the rich natural and cul-tural beauty to be found in Oregon.You can also take a photo tour orthe governmental center of Or-egon, the State Capitol.


For the fifth year, BoardmanPark & Recreation District receivedimmense help with their “SpringClean-up”, from their adoptedGood Sams Club named “BlueMountain Sams”, out of Pendleton.

Five club members came twodays in a row (March 23 & 24) tohelp park staff get the day-use parkand campground spiffied up for theseason and the Easter egg hunt(April 23rd 10am at Day Use park).The group mowed all the grassthroughout the park, mulched andpicked up limbs that had accumu-lated from over the winter. The BlueMountain Sams also used blowersfor cleaning up the asphalt andgravel pad areas of the campsites.They also used the blowers &rakes to remove yard debris frompull-through site dividers.

Thanks to all their hard work,Boardman Park & Recreation Dis-trict is ready to take on the sea-son!! This major Spring Cleanupcould not be accomplished with-out their much needed assistanceof time, effort and knowledge: thePark staff continue to look forwardto getting their help every year.

Boardman Park treated the BlueMountain Sams members to lunchand traded stories from the past

and experiences at other camp-grounds.

This community mindedclub also volunteers in assisting

“St. Mary’s out-Reach”, “Adopt-a-highway” and “Adopt-a-Park”.

When the busy club membershave down time, they continuetheir pace of ‘Good Will’ and go

around communities to collect popcans, beer cans and water bottlesto cash in and supply those pro-ceeds to the DoernbecherChildren’s Hospital.

Purpose:The Port of Morrow (POM) and

I-84/US 730 Interchange AreaManagement Plans (IAMPs) arelong-term transportation and landuse plans that are being developedby the Oregon Department ofTransportation (ODOT), the Portof Morrow, the City of Boardman,and Morrow County.

The focus of the plans is on theexisting I-84/Laurel Lane (exit 165,aka POM) and I-84/US 730 inter-changes and identifying near- andlong-term improvement projectsthat will allow the interchanges tocontinue to function in a safe andefficient manner for the long-termfuture as the surrounding area de-velops and new roadway connec-tions are built.

As part of the planning process,land use, roadways, and propertyaccess within the vicinity of theinterchange will be evaluated.

Building new interchanges or modi-fying existing interchanges is verycostly; therefore, it is in the inter-est of ODOT, the Port of Morrow,the City of Boardman, MorrowCounty, business owners, and citi-zens to ensure that these impor-tant interchanges function well foras many years as possible.

Outcomes:The POM & I-84/US 730 IAMPs

will help maximize the capacity ofthe interchanges while providingsafe and efficient operations be-tween connecting roadways. Theywill result in plans thatwill be adopted by the City ofBoardman, Morrow County, andODOT.

These plans will include:Near-term and long-term trans-

portation improvements for the in-terchange and surrounding roadnetwork.

Local Circulation Plan – identi-

fication and alignment of futurelocal streets and modifications toexisting streets.

Access Management Plan –identification of a long-term accessplan for properties along roadwaysnear the interchanges.

Land Use Regulations – identi-fication of potential developmentregulations related to ensuring thefunction of the interchange andsurrounding transportation facili-ties.

The IAMPs will serve as a com-mitment by the City and County to

1) provide the supporting localstreet network and

2) ensure future land uses pro-tect the interchange function. Con-versely the IAMP provides cer-tainty to property owners and de-velopers on how the land use andtransportation in the vicinity of theinterchange will be operated overtime.

Dear Community,April is here and hopefully thatmeans that spring is in the air! Sureseems to me that March was a re-ally cold month.

weather man, a few degrees warmerwould have been nice. But the im-portant part is that we raised somegood money for the RiversideScholarship Fund.

the best speakers I have heard in along time.

By: Margie ParksAn old wives tale says “If the

ground hog sees his shadow onFebruary 2nd, there will be 6 moreweeks of winter”. Another onesays “If March comes in like alion it will go out like a lamb”.

Spring is here...it was officialMarch 21st. It came in like a lamb“sort of” with temps in the 50degree zone, but the wind waslion like. So...it’s anybody’sguess how March will end up.

Spring bulbs are beginning tobloom, (at least those not eatenby pocket gophers or beaten todeath by the wind.) The smallerbulbs like Hyacinth, Snow drops,Crocus, Sillia, Tete & Tetes and

many others, even four inch tallGreigii x T. Kaufmenniana tulipsfrom Turkey being shorter seem toreceive less wind damage espe-cially if planted beneath deciduousshrubs or on the lee-ward side ofthe large boulders for protection.

Some people plant tulips andother larger bulbs in 29 oz. tin foodcans, making holes in the bottomfor drainage. This stops rodentsfrom eating them. It’s tedious butreally does work.

Remember when planning abulb garden to consider early, late,and mid spring bloom time to cre-ate a longer display. Add somebulb food to the planting hole.

After bloom remove only the

Gardening Friendsflower head to prevent loss of plantenergy to seed production. Leavestem and leaves on until no greenis left. After bloom is a good timeto spray the foliage with a bit ofliquid fertilizer like “Bloom” or“Fish” etc. usually a teaspoon perquart. This will increase next year’sperformance.

The best way to plant bulbs isto toss them up into the air andplant the where they fall for a natu-ral look. Or line them up if that’sthe look you like.

Remember, Gardening Friendsmeet each second Monday of themonth at 528 Juniper Drive at 2 pm.Look for the sign. We’d love tohave you join us.

Attend Columbia River

“Wild Beauty” program

at Boardman, Irrigon

April 13 and 14

A special program celebrating“Wild Beauty: Photographs of theColumbia River Gorge 1867-1957” – the first book publishedby the Northwest PhotographyArchive – will be held in Heppner,Boardman and Irrigon this month.Hosted by the Oregon Trail LibraryDistrict, the program will be held atthe Boardman branch library, 200S. Main St. , on Wed., April 13 andagain at the Irrigon City Hall onThurs., April 14. Each program willbegin at 6:30 p.m.

The free program is hosted bythe library district in partnershipwith Libraries of Eastern Oregon(LEO). All ages are welcome.

“Wild Beauty” illuminates therich photographic heritage of theColumbia River Gorge over a cen-tury of dramatic change, with 134images by three dozen photogra-phers, including the famedCarleton Watkins, BenjaminGifford, Fred Kister, Lily White,Sarah Ladd, Alfred Monner andRay Atkeson.

Much of the extraordinary workcreated during this period byWatkins and his successors hasnever been able to public view. Theoriginal prints or negatives are frag-ile; they exist today primarily be-cause they have been preservedin archival collections.

These rare photographs havebeen meticulously restored andthen carefully reproduced in a four-color process to capture the nu-anced tones and subtle coloring ofalbumen silver prints, gelatin sil-ver prints, platinum prints, hand-colored photographs and earlyKodachromes.

The first volume in the North-west Photography Series, “WildBeauty” is published by the non-profit Northwest PhotographyArchive in collaboration with Or-egon State University Press.“Wild Beauty” was nominated for

the Oregon Books Awards, and isOregon’s first American Master-pieces project, supported by theOregon Arts Commission and theNational Endowment for the Arts.The program will be presented byJohn Laursen, co-author of thebook. Laursen is the owner/opera-tor of Press-22, a Portland studiospecializing in the design and pro-duction of high quality books andtext-based public art projects.

“I’m enthusiastic about theprospect of doing these presenta-tions in at Boardman and Irrigon,”Laursen said. “The event I do is aPowerPoint presentation of photo-graphs from the book.

“As I go through the images Italk about the book, and the pic-tures, and the Gorge, and the pho-tographers, and the circumstancesunder which the photographerswere working. It’s a pretty free-flow-ing talk rather than a lecture per se,and generally I invite questionsboth during the presentation andafter.”

Laursen will have copies of thebook available for signing.“ ‘Wild Beauty’ captures not onlythe spectacular landscapes thatdraw us to the river’s shores, butthe complex and conflicting histo-ries that have played out in theColumbia River Gorge over thepast two centuries,” said TobyJurovics, Curator of Photographyfor the Smithsonian American ArtMuseum.

“‘Wild Beauty’ is a gift to theColumbia and to all who love thismajestic and elegant river.”The program is made possible forthe library district through Librar-ies of Eastern Oregon (LEO), ofwhich OTLD is a founding mem-ber. For further information aboutprogram, please contact library dis-trict director Marsha Richmond at541-481-3365 or LEO director LynCraig at 541-763-2355.


The Boardman City Council pre-sented the Boardman Senior Citi-zens with the deed to the SeniorCenter Building at the City Coun-cil meeting March 15th. Several Se-nior Citizens were on hand to re-ceive the deed signed by MayorPhillips and Senior Citizen’s Presi-dent Gordon Lienau.

To build the Senior Center, theCity received a State of OregonCommunity Block Grant, which theSenior Citizens matched with theirown funds. The grant required theCity to own the building for fiveyears after its completion, beforedeeding the property.

Senior Citizen member LaVernGertlar told of the fundraising ef-forts throughout the years to raisemoney for the matching grant forthe building. Many times theyhosted free coffee at the Boardmanrest areas. They took donationsfor lunches hosted weekly at a tem-porary meeting site. He said sadlyseveral of the original memberswho began the fundraising cam-paign are gone now, but was ex-

Dear Family:Now that THE day is past and

we can breath again, there mightbe some news that might interestyou, so I will see how far I can getand not forget anythingthat will make the reportcomplete. First of all, wewant to thank each oneof you that were so kindand responded toCheryl’s request andsent a card, some evenmore than one. When ourGirls make up their mindsto put on a project, theyget it done and I am veryproud of them for the wayin which this all turnedout and surprised Marieand it will take a longtime to really get it allsettled in her mind. It maynot have been a Party,but guess she received herpenultimate card. That is a newword for me (Les did I use it cor-rectly?). We have not counted ac-curately yet but at that last countit was 180. Betcha Hallmark wouldlove an inventory like that.

Our celebration began whenSuella arrived Friday morning at8:30 AM, so off we went toHermiston to fill the gas tank with$3.46 gas and a $50.00 visa bill. Ofcourse a facial from a Mary Kayrepresentative was necessary. I satthrough the ordeal to make certainthere were no mistakes made. I hadto make sure I kissed the correctLady when the Operator said shewas finished. How could I evermake a mistake. Sharon flew in fromSeattle so we went to pick her upat 2:30 after a snack at MacD. Theplane was on time so wasted no

time getting her with us. A sessionat a Photo shop to get an accurateaccount of the Beauty Shop expe-rience had done it’s job. Being nearCostco we had some business to

take care of and to explain herewould take too much time andspace to explain, so we headed forhome after a bit of shopping andto pick up a Chicken dinner at KFCfor our evening meal at home. Ofcourse a mail check applauded forthe special day. In order to get pre-pared for the Catered dinner at 5:30we settled for a fruit dish for lunch. The balloons were inflated andsent into the air with a note en-closed to anyone finding one tocall Marie. As of the present shehas received no calls.. The Girlshad called neighbors and friendsin town to watch the sight, so wehad the yard full of people to watch.It was quite a colorful sight to see90 colored balloons being carriedby the wind until they were out ofsight.

The festivities ended with the

Catered meal of Marie’s favoritemeal of meat loaf, mashed potatoesand gravy,. green beans with mushrooms, a watergate salad and des-sert of carrot cake, and of course

coffee and soda drinks.The Girls had invitedour Church pianist andsong leader to have asong fest of some ofMarie’s favoritehymns. It was a specialoccasion and of courseit all had to come to anend, of course thatmeant the goodbyehugs and kisses.

Marie has hadseveral friends in to seeall the cards and ofcourse all the “oows”and “ahhs” that gowith it. Marie says ‘nomore until the 100th

one’. More than likely that will haveto be in Heaven and God says thereis no time there, so can’t imaginehow long that party will be.

Marie was very well pleasedwith all the activities and she wantsto thank each of you for respond-ing to the Girl’s request to send allthose cards with all the goodwishes and compliments. I was justa tag-along but I must say I amproud of my Daughters who couldput on a celebration like that. Onethat included so many People.

We are sort of waiting for springand the way it looks outside rightnow we might get some today. Weare very happy that we are not go-ing through what we see is goingon some places, and are thankfulfor it. Do not worry the work willcome, so get prepared. Love, NormDeBoar

Controlling Allergies on a Budget

By Richard RockwellIt was a great season for the Pi-

rate Wrestling teams this year. Tostart off, the Riverside HS team hadits highest finish since 1997, as weplaced 5th at the state tournament.We also tied for the most state plac-ers since 1997. To top it off, we fin-ished with 2 champions, somethingRiverside has never had, a 3rd placeand 4th place.

Brigham Hansen capped off hisexcellent wrestling career by win-ning his 3rd state title for the Pi-rates. Brigham had 4 falls forthe tournament and finished thestate tournament as the outstand-ing wrestler for the 3A tournament.Gustavo Madrigal won his firststate title with a outstanding winin the finals. This was Gustavo’s2nd time placing.

Briton Hansen, made it tothe 3rd/4th place final and won byfall in overtime. This was Briton’s2nd time placing at state.

Trevor Graff, making his first ap-pearance at state made the most of

it, but making it to the 3rd/4th placefinal, however losing to take 4th.

Riverside also had 3 other statequalifiers in Martin Herrera (0-2),Mario Sepulveda (0-2) and ChueyAlba (1-2).

The Riverside Jr High team also

had a great season by finishing24th out of 89 teams at the statetournament. Riverside had 6 state

qualifiers this year. The statetournament has no classificationseparation. Placing for the Pirates

this year was Hans Rockwell whotook 3rd and younger brother,Aristotle Rockwell who took 5th.Aristotle is the first 6th grader everto place at state. Elijah Conlon,making his 2nd trip to the statetournament, went 2-2 and was a

match away from placing for the2nd straight year.

Other qualifiers were Clay Miller

(0-2), Ricardo Mendoza (0-2) andBrian Mendoza (0-2).

Also, Hans Rockwell earned theright to wrestle for Team OR at theMiddle School National Dual tour-nament in Danville, IL over springbreak. He will compete with 33 ofOR’s best MS kids against 20 ofthe best MS teams from around thecountry.

This spring, the Pirate clubteam, will travel to two tournaments,then two camps over the summer.The Pirate’s will be fundraisingduring this time to raise funds toattend these events. The Piratewrestlers truly believe spring andsummer wrestlers make winterchampions. So, they will be look-ing for donations or jobs to helpoffset their costs. If you are a mem-ber of the community that needsany kind of work done or wouldlike to make a donation, please con-tact Coach Dave Boor at RHS at481-2525.

Pirate Wrestling team ends season

placing 5th at state tournament

In today’s economy – where every dollar counts – budget-ing can be about as painful as a root canal. So, when it comesto something like allergy control, you may feel you don’t haveanything left over to spend. Still, there’s no need to suffer insilence. A few simple steps can make a big difference, whilecosting very little. To start, think about the things you can do that are free –or practically free. For example, clear out items that might becollecting dust mites. Think extra pillows, throw rugs, or stuffedanimals. Are hypoallergenic pillows and comforters or aller-gen-proof covers (starting around $65) too costly for you? Thenkeep bed linens and other items around that can be washed inhot water. And, rent a steam cleaner for about $25 a day tosteamroll those nasty little allergens lurking in carpets. Speaking of cleaning, dust and pollen masks and nonlatexgloves are very low-cost ways to whip through the housework(or gardening) without exposing yourself to extra allergens.Microfiber hypoallergenic cloths are specially designed to at-tract dust and allow you to clean without the use of chemi-cals. They generally cost around $1 to $2 a piece. Use a di-luted bleach solution to wipe down surfaces in bathrooms andother places. And, even if you don’t have a HEPA (High Effi-ciency Particulate Air) vacuum cleaner, don’t forget to changeyour vacuum bag at least once a month. A washable rubbermat at the front door will cut back on what gets tracked in. If you can spring for a portable air cleaner, make sureyou find one that doesn’t produce ozone. This can make aller-gies worse. A good place to research these products is at thewebsite of the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers(AHAM) [www.cadr.org/]. Here, you can find information aboutall kinds air filtering technologies, from HEPA to ionization. Short of buying an air cleaner, though, it might help tobuy a pleated paper furnace filter with a MERV rating of 7 to13. These capture many of the allergens HEPA filters do andcost around $10. Electrostatic filters do a similar job and costaround $15. Humidity is also an important factor when trying to con-trol allergies. You want it low enough to control dust mites, butnot so low it irritates your nasal passages. A $15 hygrometercan help you see if you’re in a safer range – between 30 and50 percent humidity. Then you can use a humidifier or dehu-midifier to achieve the right level. To help keep those nasalpassages clear, consider using a bulb syringe or neti pot ($15),filled with lukewarm saline. Remember: Many of these products are available in ourstore. And, of course, don’t forget about over-the-counter (OTC)allergy medications, such as pills, eyedrops, and nasal sprays.Check with me about any prescription medications that maynow be available as cheaper OCT medications. For example,a wide range of Allegra products, the best-selling antihista-mine, is now available over the counter. And one final note: If you or your child needs allergy shots,you may be heartened to learn this: A 10-year study showedthat allergy shots reduce overall health care costs in childrenby one-third and prescription costs by 16 percent. A prettysound investment.

charter? The effect of this mea-sure, if approved, shall be to enacta new City Charter for the City ofIrrigon. It changes several aspectsof City government and City op-erations. The new Charter will havethe following significant changesfrom the current Charter: Endsmayor’s responsibility for dailyoperations of the city, includingpersonnel management, and trans-fers that responsibility to the citymanager. Eliminates city recorderposition, with recorder’s dutiesabsorbed by other City staff. Pro-cedures for selecting or removingofficials are clarified, will require asuper majority vote, i.e., at leastfour votes, by City Council to ap-point or remove a mayor or othercity officials such as city manager,city attorney, and mayor pro tem.The mayor pro tem has authorityto vote even when acting as mayor.Provisions for the appointment ofa municipal judge.

MORROW COUNTY SCHOOLDISTRICT 25-57 Measure NO:Morrow County School DistrictElimination of Certain School Com-mittees Caption: Question: Sum-

mary: Shall Morrow CountySchool District eliminate electedlocal school committees and theassociated election costs? Thismeasure authorizes the District toeliminate “local school commit-tees”. Membership on a “localschool committee” is filled by anelection of the voters. However,these committees have becomeinactive because there is little orno interest in serving on the com-mittees. There has been one filingin the last 4 election cycles (8years). But even when no oneruns, state statute requires the Dis-trict to hold an election at signifi-cant cost. These committees wereoriginally imposed by state stat-ute to help monitor and adviseconcerning school facility needs.Subsequently, in the Oregon Edu-cational Act for the 21st Centurythe legislature mandated site coun-cils at each public school. Conse-quently, each District school nowhas an active site council with par-ent membership which requiresonly an informal election at theschool site, not participation in adistrict-wide election that involves4346 electors. A “yes” vote willauthorize the District to eliminatethese inactive “local school com-mittees” and save the money as-sociated with the elections.
