In April, the Cityof Boardman re-tained Prothman, aconsulting firm from

Seattle, to recruit candidates for thechief of police position. Prothman,received 26 applications and, in Oc-tober, the City interviewed four ofthose applicants. The interviewpanels were made up of commu-nity members and others who work

Sam Boardman Elementary andthe Boardman Senior Center gra-ciously allowed us to use their fa-cilities. The Boardman Chamber ofCommerce worked on advertise-ment. We so appreciated the NorthMorrow Times who gave us a frontpage ad! And the East Oregonianwho also mentioned us.

Coffee: grounds forcommunity enrichment

With the holidays rapidly ap-proaching, Boardman and EasternOregon non-profit organizationsfind themselves scrambling fordonations. The need is increas-ingly great—not just for Thanks-giving or Christmas—but year-round.

From covering rent and electri-

cal bills at an Irrigon senior centerto helping Hermiston high schoolpupils pay student body fees, thefree coffee served at Boardman’sI-84 rest area pumps lifeblood backto community members who needit most.

Oregon Travel Experience su-pervises the Boardman rest areaand issues coffee permits to localnon-profit organizations. Low in-come families, seniors and the dis-abled all benefit from donations re-ceived from motorists who stop forcoffee, hot chocolate, or a cookie.

The program’s success bankson the free coffee volunteers whoembrace the principle of givingback.Pumping Life into Communities

Many of the Boardman rest areafree coffee participants have beenengaged in the program for a de-cade or longer. Organizations viefor coveted slots on holiday week-ends, since donations generallyincrease with the amount of trafficon I-84. All money is channeled towhere it is needed most.

Laverne Partlow and EttaMcKenzie, are longtime volunteersfrom the Boardman Senior Cen-ter. Laverne has been a major forcebehind her group’s work since1990. She has weathered wind,snow, and rain while serving mo-torists for the past 20 years.

Helping motoristsexperience local

Many visitors stretching their

legs at theBoardman restarea are curiousabout thesights theydrive by. DianeWolfe from theB o a r d m a nChamber ofCommerce knewthe rest areawas a perfectchoice for avisitor’s guide.She also knewvolunteers fromthe Free Coffeeprogram wouldbe happy tohelp motorists find their way intonearby communities.

“The Free Coffee program vol-unteers said they were getting lotsof questions about services avail-able in the middle of the night orvery early in the morning. Driverswould ask things like ‘We’re head-ing to Pendleton, is there anywhereto eat at this time of night?’ I de-

cided to combine informationabout local businesses inBoardman and across MorrowCounty, and include communitieslike Heppner, Irrigon, and UmatillaCounty.”

Jessie Davila and JuliaCardenas run Columbia River Har-vesters in Boardman. Their non-profit gleans food from local farm-ers and home orchardists to feedthe hungry. An overflow harvestof apples, pears, and corn feed se-niors and needy families inBoardman.

“The farmers call us up and wego right to the place they have acrop,” says Davila. “Instead offood going to waste, we get ourgroup volunteers together and gopick it right from the farm or gar-den. The cash donations we getfrom the Free Coffee Program helpus to pay the rent on our officeand the gas it takes to go pick upthe food.”

Columbia River HarvestersManager Julia Cardenas andDavila open the center to the com-munity for food distribution toanyone in need. The center is cur-rently gearing up for holiday tur-key food-baskets and will be at theBoardman rest area serving coffeeover Thanksgiving weekend. “We

save enough donation money fromthe coffee to go and buy turkeysfor the baskets,” says Davila.

Columbia River Harvesters dis-tributes food boxes three days perweek at their North Main Street lo-cation in Boardman. The centeropens at 1:00 p.m. on Fridays, Sat-urdays, and Mondays, and pro-vides food to the hungry until 3:00

p.m. Every nickel gleaned from serv-ing coffee at the Boardman rest areais re-cycled into food distributionactivities.

“We driveour seniors todoctor’s ap-pointments inP o r t l a n d ,B e n d ,Pend le ton ,and evenWalla Walla,”says BetteTernes of theStokes Land-ing SeniorCenter inIrrigon. “Themoney weraise fromdrivers usingthe free coffee program not onlypays for gas but also keeps thelights on in our center. We’re here24/7 for our seniors when they needa ride.”

Ternes and her husband haveserved free coffee for over 10 yearsat Boardman. She says driverswho stop are pleased by the ser-vice. “You can’t believe how manypeople stop and talk with us—some for over half an hour,” saysTerns. “The truckers are especiallygrateful. We’re the first thing theysee in the morning. They comeright on over to our trailer with theirbig travel mugs.”

One of the challenges facingTernes’ group is the aging volun-teer population and the lack ofyounger residents in their smallIrrigon community.

“It’s the same people that dothe work all the time. Some of usare in our 80s and we’ve lost a lotof people lately. We really coulduse some help,” said Ternes. “Allthe money donated for the free cof-fee goes to operating our seniorcenter. We were able to buy newtables and chairs for the lunchroom,pay for janitorial services, andmake improvements to the nurse’sstation and bathrooms. But if theroads are bad, we can’t go. We’reall getting up there in age.”

For Love of KidsAt the Hermiston Masonic

Lodge 138, Michael Parker talksabout the benefits of the Free Cof-fee program to his organization.“We’re big on helping kids inHermiston,” he says. “All of the

money we receive from our shiftsat the Boardman rest area goes toBikes for Books and scholarshipsfor kids to go to college. We alsouse the money to buy speechtherapy for children.”

Parker’s group has been at theBoardman rest area serving freecoffee to drivers for over 25 years.“We’d like to see a permanent set-up for the program,” he said. “Wehave to haul our own trailers in andout, and it can be difficult. We’dlike to see something like what’sbeen done in the Willamette Val-ley, where there’s dedicated spaceat the (Oregon Travel Experience)rest area offices.”

For Parker, holiday-weekendshifts at the rest area means chil-dren from Hermiston to Irrigon ben-efit from the donations. “Our ba-sic goal is to help kids. All of themoney goes for good things. Wedon’t get any money personallyout of it.”

Colds and flu – no big deal, right? Well, yes and no.They usually don’t last a really long time or cause seriousproblems.

Colds can plague you with everything from a stuffyor runny nose to a scratchy throat and watery eyes – andnonstop sneezing that can put even your cat over the edge.Flu bugs bring symptoms that can look a lot like a cold. Butthe flu tends to ambush you suddenly, last longer than acold, and pile on other symptoms such as fever, fatigue,headache, chills, and achiness.

Some people who get the flu are at risk for prettyserious health problems. In fact, flu-related complicationssend more than 200,000 Americans to the hospital eachyear with thousands dying.1 Even the common cold takes atoll, accounting for 22 million lost school days in the U.S.each year.

Prevention is looking better and better, isn’t it?The number one thing you can do to prevent the flu?

Get a flu vaccine, which protects against the three mostlikely flu viruses to strike each season. The Centers forDisease Control and Prevention (CDC) now recommendsthat everyone six months and older get a flu vaccine. Get thevaccine as soon as it is available if you are in one of thesehigh risk categories – you are pregnant, 65 or older, or havea chronic disease. It’s also more important if you are ahealth care worker or care for someone who is at increasedrisk.

The Flu Vaccine is available as a shot or nasalspray, and is best received in October or November, althoughyou may still benefit in December or January. Ask yourdoctor or me if you have questions about this.Colds and flu are spread mostly by droplets in the air or bytouching a contaminated surface, then touching your eyes ornose. So some other simple steps may go a long waytoward helping you prevent these common diseases.

1. Wash your hands often with warm, soapy water forabout 15 to 20 seconds. If you’re away from soapand water, an alcohol-based hand rub will do. Avoidtouching your eyes, mouth, and nose as much asyou can. No free rides for these germs! Set a goodexample for your kids and encourage them to do thesame. Also, try to limit being around people who areinfected.

2. Sneezing and coughing? You know the drill: Coveryour nose and mouth with a tissue, and then throw itin the trash. If there’s no tissue in sight, cough orsneeze into your elbow or upper sleeve. Be sure topass this tip on to your kids. If you’ve got a fever,stay home for at last 24 hours after the fever is gone– that is, gone without the use of a fever-loweringmedicine.

3. Don’t forget that other all-around healthy habits – abalanced diet, sleep, exercise, and stress control –can help prevent colds and flu. And, remember thatexposure to tobacco – firsthand or secondhand –makes you more prone to respiratory illnesses.

A colorful 3-ft. globe with daz-zling displays and video films pro-jected onto its inside surface willbe placed by the Oregon Museumof Science and Industry (OMSI) atthe Oregon Trail Library District’sBoardman library from the eveningof December 5 – December 10.

The globe is called MagicPlanet. It is one component of aNASA-designed exhibit called“Earth From Space.”

The globe itself sits on top of aprojector and is connected to alaptop programmed by NASA toshow dozens of moving images andprograms as the globe lights upand spins.

Library patrons of all ages canuse push-buttons to have TheMagic Planet show any of dozensof brilliantly-colored displays suchas Earth’s city lights, climatechange, tsunamis, wind streams,ocean currents, geographic fea-tures and much more – including7-minute videos about Earth thatare projected onto the globe’s sur-

OMSI’s Earth From Space Exhibit in Boardmanface.

“The Magic Planet is amazing.It captivates the senses. The onewe’ve brought out to eastern Or-egon is a smaller version of thesame Science on a Sphere exhibitwe have here at the museum inPortland,” said Nate Lesiuk, pro-gram developer for OMSI’s EarthFrom Space program.

“People are fascinated by it.Here at the museum we call it ‘eyecandy’.”

Other parts of the Earth FromSpace exhibit brought to theHeppner library include a table-topspinning praxinoscope, which is amirrored device showing weatherpatterns and a viewing weather sta-tion.

The Earth From Space exhibitcomponents are brought to east-ern Oregon through a NASA grantprovided to OMSI in partnershipwith Libraries of Eastern Oregon(LEO).

OTLD is providing the first hostsites for the exhibit to be featured

in eastern Oregon.“We’ve never had anything

quite like this come to our librariesbefore,” said OTLD directorMarsha Richmond.

“I hope people will come in tothe library and see the MagicPlanet and all that it offers, as itfeatures so many different movingimages of Earth,” Richmond said.“The sphere is easy to manipulateto show different weather patternsand how our planet really looksfrom space. It’s fun to explore themany displays included with it, andpeople of all ages have access tousing it,” she added.

The Earth From Space exhibitwill be rotated among public librar-ies in eastern Oregon from thismonth through Feb. 2013.

CSEPP begins Recycling Program fortone alert radios and carbon filters

The Umatilla Chemical Depotbegan destroying its chemical mu-nitions in 2004 and has recentlycompleted its mission. With the fi-nal destruction of the chemicalmunitions, the risk of a chemicalaccident at the Depot has beeneliminated in Oregon and Wash-ington.

As a result, the Chemical Stock-pile Emergency Preparedness Pro-gram (CSEPP) will soon come to aclose and service for Tone AlertRadios will be discontinued. ToneAlert Radios (TARs) have beendistributed to area residents since2000. The TARs were part of awarning system that would havealerted residents in the event ofchemical accident at the UmatillaChemical Depot.

CSEPP is asking residents toturn in their TARs, along with allits components (antenna, powercords and strobe lights) to a recy-cling bin located in your commu-nity. TARs should not be thrownout with household garbage, asthey contain a lead acid battery.CSEPP has arranged for free recy-cling to keep TARs out of the locallandfills.

Residents may choose to keeptheir TARs to receive severeweather alerts; however this willonly be for a limited time. Thosewho choose to keep their TARs willassume all responsibility for main-tenance and all liability associatedwith continued use of the radio.

CSEPP will no longer maintainthe radios, or provide any batter-ies or other support for the radios.

Residents who wish to con-

tinue to receive severe weatheralerts may purchase a NationalOceanic and Atmospheric Admin-istration (NOAA) weather radio atlocal retail stores.

For residents with Recirculat-ing Air Filters (RAFs): CSEPPdistributed RAFs and carbon fil-ters to residents in the Irrigon area.Residents in other areas may alsohave received a RAF. RAFs andcarbon filters were to be used inthe event of a chemical accident atthe Umatilla Chemical Depot.

Residents may choose to keepthe RAFs or bring them to a recy-cling location, but should recycle

the carbon filters that were deliv-ered in a separate box, even if youchoose to keep the RecirculatingAir Filter. The RAF can be used

daily to filter air inyour home; how-ever carbon filtersare useful only dur-ing a chemicalemergency and canbe harmful to theenvironment if notrecycled properly.

Those whokeep the RAFs willassume all respon-sibility for mainte-nance and all liabil-ity associated withcontinued use. Re-placement HEPAfilters are availablethrough many
