Wednesday, August 2, 2017 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Dull, Boring and Bland communities forge bond LONDON (AP) — Dull and Boring, meet Bland. Dull, Scotland and Boring, Oregon, two small commu- nities united by unexciting names, have joined forces with a third: Bland Shire, Australia. Dull and Boring became sister communities in 2012, after a Scottish woman passed through the U.S. town on a cycling holiday. Officials say the relationship has boosted the profile of both places. Dull officials on Friday hosted the mayor of the region of Bland Shire, New South Wales, at a reception to celebrate the third member of a club dubbed the League of Extraordinary Communities. Bland Shire and Boring are both named after early residents, William Bland and William Boring, while Dull’s name may come from a Gaelic word for meadow. Boring has a population of about 10,000 while Bland Shire has about 6,000 people and Dull is a hamlet with just 84 occupants. Dennis Melloy, provost of the Perth and Kinross region that’s home to Dull, said the relationship with Boring and Bland had “created a real feel-good factor for their communities with quirky names.” And he said the alliance could expand. We’ve found Ordinary and Dreary, both in America, and I think they could soon be part of it all. — Dennis Melloy “We’ve found Ordinary and Dreary, both in America, and I think they could soon be part of it all,” he said. 9pm•August 5 EROTIC CITY A TRIBUTE TO PRINCE $10 at bendticket.com $15 at the door 175 N.
