Governor Kulongoski welcomes ZeaChem to Boardman

GreenWood Resources employee Luke Maynard and NewHolland representative Dave Wagner display the $500,000chopper that turns trees into chips for use in the ZeaChemBoardman Biorefinery.

Lots of dignitaries were inBoardman June 2nd for the ceremo-nies beginning construction ofZeaChem, Inc.’s BoardmanBiorefinery located at the Port ofMorrow. Governor TedKulongoski, US Senator RonWyden, State Representative Greg

Smith along with representativesfrom the US Department of Energyand the Environmental ProtectionAgency joined local folk for theoccasion.

ZeaChem is building the cellu-losic ethanol 250,000 gallon capac-ity test plant which will cost ap-

proximately $73 million. The fund-ing will come from a $25 milliongrant from the American Recoveryand Investment Act, $10 millionfrom Oregon Business Energy TaxCredits and remaining money fromprivate investors.

This “test” plant for cellulose-based ethanol will not be bigenough to be economically fea-sible for commercial production,but will test this unusual processout of the lab environment. Thesame bacteria found in a termite isused to break down cellulose (plantfiber) into acetic acid, which canbe made into ethanol. ZeaChemhas a contract with GreenWoodResources to provide wood chipsfor this process.

After welcoming ceremoniesand a catered lunch, two busestransported guests to the 25,000acre GreenWood poplar “forest”located along I-84 for a tour. Al-though GreenWood is growingpoplars up to 12 years of age, theZeaChem process will use 2- to 3-year old trees for their process. ANew Holland harvester which cutsand chews up the trees up to sixinches in diameter was displayed.This $500,000 machine was spe-cially manufactured in Belgium forharvesting trees for chips, and thesize of the chips can be determined

by the machine to be shredded upto 1 1/2” in size. GreenWood has asawmill located within the tree farmfor processing larger trees into us-able lumber.

GreenWood Irrigation ManagerLuke Maynard said the farm plansto regrow the tree stumps after har-vest. The harvester can then “eatup” the bushy growth into chips

for ZeaChem.Co-founder Dan Verser stated

that “It takes one ton of 100% drymatter wood chips to be convertedinto 100 gallons of ethanol.”

Will this process lead to a com-mercial biorefinery in the future?Co-founder Tim Eggeman says“This is not the end of my dreams,but the start.”

Nick Armstrong

A Riverside alumnus from thisyear’s graduating class is alreadymaking a name for himself in a bigway. After attending the qualify-ing High School Rodeo State Fi-nals in Prineville the middle of Juneand placing fourth in bullriding,this qualified Nick Armstrong to at-tend the world’s largest rodeo, theNational High School Finals Rodeoin Gillette, Wyoming in July.

Nick, who is the grandson ofSusan Stanhope and NickMcLachlan of Boardman, was agood all around athlete during highschool. “Two years ago I startedriding bulls after participating injunior rodeos riding broncs,” saysNick. He built his own mechanicalbull and also rode practice bullswhenever he could. Last year Nickrode 120 live bulls. He works week-days from 9-6 at Tredit Tire inBoardman, and then hits the roadfor weekend rodeoing. “I’ve beento McMinnville, Astoria, Baker Cityand Prineville since I graduated,”he continued. That participationput him in the top 25 and qualifiedNick to attend the State Finals inPrineville.

At the State Tournament, hestarted in the position of 9th in thestate. “I didn’t think I had a chance,but it worked out good for me. Theright people fell off and I slipped into fourth place, which sends me toWyoming.”

Winning the fourth place atPrineville gave Nick a $500 schol-

arship towards college. He’s hop-ing to win more at the National Fi-nals so he can attend Blue Mt.Community College and study ag-ricultural business. He wants tobe part of BMCC’s outstandingrodeo program. Some of the prizesat National Finals are: $350,000 incollege scholarships, $250,000 inprizes and of course braggingrights to the National High SchoolRodeo championship.

Grandpa and grandma are plan-ning to attend the National Finalsand will take their trailer to stay in.Friends Zach Boehmer, who quali-fied in saddle bronc and Nick’s as-sistant Travis Pecallotto, (whohelps with Nick’s equipment andpulls the rope when Nick is riding)will also travel with them to Wyo-ming.

“I am going to representBoardman, Morrow County andthe state of Oregon,” says Nick.He is hoping for some local spon-sorships to help him with his ex-penses on his trip to the Nation-als. Since he an “independent”,that is not a member of a sanctionedrodeo team, he doesn’t have anycorporate sponsorships yet. Byqualifying for Nationals, Nick hasreceived a special rodeo jacket onwhich anyone sponsoring himwould have a logo or name embroi-dered. “I’d like to meet personallywith anyone who is interested inhelping me,” says Nick. He can bereached at 541/481-4281 or mailingaddress: 78256 Peters Road,Boardman, OR 97818.

“I’d like to thank everyone whohas helped me along the way, es-pecially my Grandma andGrandpa,” says Nick.

There’s lots of action whenNick rides a bull like this one.

Auriculotherapy is an alterna-tive health care procedure in whichstimulation of the auricle (outer ear)is utilized to alleviate health condi-tions in other parts of the body.While originally based upon theancient Chinese practices of acu-puncture, the correspondence ofspecific parts of the body to spe-cific parts of the ear was first de-veloped in France. It is this inte-grated system of Chinese andWestern practices of auricular acu-puncture which is used.

EARS 2 R HEALTH © Alterna-tive Healthstyles™ utilizes prin-ciples gathered from ancient andmodern texts, authors, and re-sources. The Auricular (outer ear)Reflexology is non-invasive andsafe. They believe stimulating spe-cific points on the ear strengthensthe functions of the body’s or-gans, muscles and bones to do theirjob more effectively. The body is

restored to optimumhealth and balancewhile problems arecorrected. Success isrestoration of thebody’s balance andharmony.

Tina Mills ofCarlton, Oregon be-came interested in thisprocedure as a treat-ment for her son, whosuffered from atten-tion deficit hyperac-tivity disorder(ADHD) and poorkidney function.They found relief fromthe ADHD and im-proved kidney func-tion, too. This en-couraged Tina to at-tend school to learnthe procedures. Shealso talked her mother,Aldine Schooley intoa companion courseat the schooling.

The first annual BoardmanRelay for Life Yard Sale was a HIT!

Your local team “Lovin Life”raised over $700 for the fightagainst cancer.

Although the weather tried todiscourage even the most deter-mined of yard salers, theBoardman community perse-vered. Showing that come rain orshine the fight against cancer isworth it. Several people from thecommunity opened their closetsand garages to donate items forthe effort. While others used theirability to see value in those do-nations and make generous pur-chases. I would like to thankNAPA Auto Parts of Boardmanfor letting us use their parking lot.I would also like to thank all ofthe people and businesses thathelped either by donation, pur-chases or volunteering. I

couldn’t have done it withouteveryone’s help, big and small.

Its times like these when I havethe opportunity to show otherswhy I love Boardman so much. Iknow that this is a community thatcan pull together when needed andis always ready to embrace a wor-thy cause. Thank you.Hermiston Relay for Life 2010!

The Relay for Life started at 6pmwith the torch relay and openingceremonies. One of our local HighSchool graduates, Evelyn Garciasang “My Heart Will Go On” andpromptly moved the crowd to tearswhile reminding us all why we dowhat we do for cancer research. Asthe night went on the walkerswhere entertained with a variety ofperformances. Everything fromKarate to dancing to Karaoke. Any-thing to keep you awake thru thenight. We also had a bouncy house

for the kids, a silent auction andvarious team booths with raffleitems.

The survivor lap was inspira-tional and moving. Walking the lu-minary lap and looking at all theluminary bags that had been deco-rated to represent friends and lovedones who have battled cancer isreally something everyone shouldsee for themselves. It’s quite mov-ing. My son enjoys pointing outthe bags his brothers and sisterhave decorated for him.

The teams also had competitionlaps to entertain us. We had card-board box creations, (my favoritewas the three foot cardboard I-pod) we had a dress as your favor-ite superhero lap, a “Twilight” lap(there where vampires lurking ev-erywhere), mean while we had ourMr. Relay competition going on.Which required one of the gentle-men from each team to wear a promdress and go around town to localbusinesses on a scavenger huntfor additional donations. Very ex-citing stuff. Then as if that wasn’tenough to keep us all up and mov-ing, we were treated with a rousingperformance (at 7am) by the RoundUp City Cloggers.

All in all this was a very suc-cessful battle against the war oncancer and the celebration was asalways, amazing to say the least.For those of you who were notable to participate in the event thisyear, do not worry we will do it allagain next year….Thank youBoardman. Natasha Rockwell

City of Boardman placesbounty on noxious weed

City Councilors gave the greenlight recently to spend $300 on aprogram aimed at controllingPuncturevine. The City ran theprogram for the first time last Au-gust and it was a huge success withcitizens collecting over 2600pounds of the Puncturevine. Thisyear the City wanted to start theprogram earlier in hopes of collect-ing the weed while they’re small,preventing them from producingseed pods.

If you have ever stepped on aPuncturevine seed, you know whata pain the plant can be. Each spinybur or seed pod from thePuncturevine (Tribulus terrestris),also known as a “Goathead”, con-tains 20 seeds equipped with longsharp spines capable of punctur-ing a bike tire or a shoe. It takesonly 3 weeks for this weed tosprout and make seeds. To makethings worse, the seeds are someof the hardiest in nature; they maylay in the ground dormant for upto 20 years until just the right con-ditions come along for them to

grow. Any establishedPuncturevine will continue to growand spread until frost comes along- unless you stop it.

The City plans to enlist the aidof its citizens to control the spreadof Puncturevine by offering to payfor collection of the weed through-out the months of July and August.The Puncturevine and their seedpods need to be collected in bagsprovided by the City and returnedto City Hall to receive $3 per bag inJuly and $1 per bag in August, oruntil the entire $300 has been paidout.

The City’s Code Compliance Of-ficial, John Russell, said “this is agreat opportunity for local youthto raise money for their organiza-tions and to do something goodfor their community”. Areas of themost concern are the City’s bike/pedestrian paths, and residentialareas. Bags can be picked up atBoardman City Hall anytime from8am to 5pm. For more informationon the program, contact BoardmanCity Hall at 481-9252.

The Oregon Department of En-ergy (ODOE) and several federalagencies (led by the U.S. ForestService), continue to seek publicinput on the Cascade CrossingTransmission Project, proposedby Portland General Electric (PGE).

“We look forward to the oppor-tunity to meet with the public andanswer questions. The upcomingpublic meetings are an importantearly step in the respective fed-eral and state review processes,”said Kristy Boscheinen, ForestPlanner with the Mt. Hood Na-tional Forest.

Proposed Cascade Crossing Transmission Project public meetings begin June 21

PGE proposes to build a new500 kilovolt transmission line fromBoardman to Salem, a distance ofapproximately 210 miles, as well asupgrade the existing transmissionsystems near Salem and possiblyin the Willamette Valley. PGE hasapplied to the federal governmentfor right of way grants and specialuse permits to cross federally-man-aged lands and has also submitteda Notice of Intent to apply for anEnergy Facility Site Certificate fromthe Oregon Energy Facility SitingCouncil.

The ODOE and federal agencies

will jointly host public informationand scoping meetings throughoutthe project area. All meeting loca-tions will be open from 4:00 to 7:00p.m. and staff from the state andfederal agencies as well as PGE willbe available to answer questions.A short presentation about thestate and federal application reviewprocesses will be given at 4:30 andagain at 6:00 pm. Meetings will beheld:· Thursday, July 1 – Boardman(Port of Morrow Riverfront Center,2 Marine Dr.)

Comments during this phase of

the project must be received byAugust 2, 2010 and can be made toboth the ODOE and federal agen-cies in a variety of ways, includ-ing:· via e-mail to [email protected];· through the shared projectwebsite atwww.cascadecrossingproject.com/comment;· U.S. mail addressed to CascadeCrossing Transmission Project,1515 SW Fifth Ave., Ste. 1022, Port-land, OR 97201-5449; and· via a tollfree fax:888-291-6460.

Portland State University researchers report the discovery of

Oregon’s 5th official meteorite in Morrow County(Portland, Ore.) – May 29, 2010

The cosmic interloper traveled mil-lions of miles and billions of yearsto reach Earth, endured a fiery pas-sage through Earth’s atmosphere,waited on Earth’s surface a thou-sand years or more, and even af-ter it was picked up, existed in ano-nymity for years before it was fi-nally recognized as beingOregon’s fifth meteorite.

The meteorite is named Mor-row Country after the location innorth central Oregon where it wasrecovered, researchers at PortlandState University say. The 40pound meteorite is an orientedstone, aerodynamically shapedinto a cone by its passage throughthe Earth’s atmosphere. It is thefirst meteorite to be recovered inOregon east of the Cascades. Only

four previous meteorites havebeen recovered from Oregon, mak-ing this an exceptional discovery.The other Oregon meteorites areSam’s Valley (found 1894),Willamette (found 1902), KlamathFalls (found 1952), and Salem (fellin 1981). Three of these are ironmeteorites, whereas Salem andMorrow County are both stonymeteorites.

Conditions in Oregon are unfa-vorable for finding meteorites, withheavily forested lands west of theCascades, and many dark-coloredvolcanic rocks present to the eastwhich can be easily confused withreal, dark-colored meteorites.

The unfavorable combinationof dark bedrock geology and highprecipitation results in 34 timesfewer meteorites recovered in Or-egon per square mile than in Kan-sas, which has much light-coloredbedrock and little forestland.

The Morrow County meteoritewas found in a ditch beside theroad during the fall of 1999 by Mr.Donald Wesson as he and his wifeDebbie were driving through thewheat country of north central Or-egon on their way home to Wash-ington. The large stone remained

unidentified for10 more years.Along the way, itrested in a gar-den, hung out be-neath a barbequeon a deck, visiteda county fair, andpassed throughtwo universitiesbefore it was offi-cially classified asa meteorite.

The meteoritesat for abouteight years in Mr.Wesson’s rockgarden. Afterviewing a televi-sion programabout meteorites,Mr. Wessonmoved the stoneto his deck andstarted askingaround to see if itmight be a mete-orite. In the sum-

mer of 2009, Mr. Wesson took it tothe local county fair at Castle Rock,Washington, where it was shownto Mr. Ronald Graichen, a retiredgeologist with the Southern Wash-ington Mineralogical Society, whoencouraged Mr. Wesson to take therock to a university for study.

Mr. Wesson contacted Mr.George Mustoe at Western Wash-ington University in Bellingham,

Washington, where Mr. Mustoeand Dr. Bernard Housen performedtests on samples of the stone, andconcluded that the rock was prob-ably a meteorite. They suggestedthat Mr. Wesson contact Dick Pughat Portland State University.

Samples of the stone were sentto the Cascadia Meteorite Labora-tory, where Dr. Melinda Hutson andDr. AlexRuzicka classi-fied it: MorrowCounty is anL6 ordinaryc h o n d r i t e ,which hasbeen highlyshocked (S5),but minimallyw e a t h e r e d(W1). Thename and clas-sification havebeen ap-proved by theNomenclatureCommittee ofthe Meteoriti-cal Society,making the me-teorite official.A type speci-men has beenplaced in therepository atPortland StateUniversity.

According to Dick Pugh, a fieldscientist with the Cascadia Mete-orite Laboratory who for manyyears has sought additional mete-orites from Oregon, the new mete-orite fulfills a dream. “For a longtime Oregon has had only four me-teorites, and now I’ve helped todiscover the fifth.” He also notesthat the wheat country in MorrowCounty is one of the best places tofind meteorites in the state becauseit is being farmed in much the sameway as in meteorite-productiveKansas. “The best equipment usedto find meteorites has been the farmplow.” Although the exact locationthe meteorite was found is notknown, Pugh says, “It was prob-ably plowed up by a farmer andtossed to the side of the road.There is even evidence that therock was hit by a plow.” Dr. Hutson,

curator of the Cascadia MeteoriteLaboratory, says “Morrow Countyis a relatively common type of me-teorite, but it stands out from othermeteorites in a couple of ways. Themeteorite isn’t significantly weath-ered but it has a distinctive yellowtint caused by weathering unlikethat seen in meteorites recoveredfrom deserts in Africa or Antarc-

tica. Also, it has beautiful shockveins and glass, caused by a majorcollision in space. And the coneshape of the meteorite is very nicefor such a large specimen.”Cascadia Meteorite Laboratory di-rector Alex Ruzicka, an AssistantProfessor at Portland State, sayshe expects more meteorites to bediscovered in Oregon. “In a way,I’m not surprised at all by this dis-covery. With our vigorous out-reach effort I always knew the labwould help to recover more mete-orites from Oregon, I just didn’tknow when. Maybe this will be thestart of many more to come.”

About the Cascadia MeteoriteLaboratory

Program on Indigenous People of the Columbia

River to be held at Boardman, IrrigonInternational commerce, diplo-

matic relations, cultural exchangesand tourism are hot topics todayin the Northwest, just as they werenearly 12,000 years ago among theindigenous peoples who livedalong the Columbia River.

These civilized, prosperous na-tions developed an internationalmarketplace that, by the 1700s, in-cluded trade with Russia, Spain,England, china and America – yettheir story is often untold in histo-ries of the region.

On July 13 and 14 Native Ameri-can historian and scholar PatCourtney Gold will present a spe-cial community program called “In-novators and Traders: IndigenousPeople of the Columbia River” atBoardman and Irrigon.

The free programs are open topersons of all ages. The programwill be held on Tues., July 13 at 7p.m. at the Boardman branch library

Gold will discuss the rich heri-tage of cultural and financial com-merce conducted up and down theColumbia River.

Just as questions ofsustainability affect modern com-merce, Gold will show how nativepeoples’ relationship to the landprovided our first environmentallyfriendly model of commerce.

Gold is a former Chautauquaprogram presenter for the OregonCouncil for the Humanities as wellas an internationally acclaimed fi-ber artist and basket maker. She isenrolled in the Wasco Nation, Con-federated Tribes of Warm Springs,Oregon, where she was raised.

What To Do About Strains and Sprains

Pharmacy & Your Health

Excess physical exertion may lead to sudden pain

and swelling around muscles or joints. Stretching too far

or slowing down abruptly are two possible causes of

strains and sprains. A sprain occurs when a ligament is

stretched or torn. The normal function of a ligament is to

connect bones and help stabilize joints and prevent

excessive movement. A collision, such as with another

person during a sporting event, or a rapid change in

direction are common causes of sprains. Ankles, knees,

and wrists are frequent locations where sprains may occur.

In contrast, a strain is caused by the stretching or tearing

of muscle. An acute strain occurs when a muscle stretches

abnormally far, or suddenly powerfully contracts. A chronic

strain may result from overuse of a muscle over time.

Strains are also commonly referred to as pulled muscles.

Back injuries and pulled hamstrings are examples of

common types of strains.

If a strain or sprain is mild, over-the-counter pain

relievers such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen may be

prescribed. Ice should be applied in the affected area as

soon as possible to help reduce swelling. If the injury is

severe, a brace or splint may be applied to limit mobility of

the affected area. In the case of a ruptured muscle or torn

ligament, surgery may be necessary.
