HERMISTON
Woman recognized for years of quilt donations
Bonnie Engle, 85, and
friends make more
than 100 quilts a year
“This is a huge
part of the
Christmas Express
package we do,
and I can’t tell
you how helpful
it’s been.”

$fter helping provide
a little extra warmth for
hundreds of families in need,
Bonnie Engle of Hermiston
got a gift in return on
Wednesday.
Hermiston Police Captain
Travis Enyon presented
her with a $250 gift certif-
icate for her 85th birthday,
recognizing the hundreds
of handmade quilts she has
had a hand in donating to
the department’s Christmas
Express program over the
years.
“This is a huge part of the
Christmas Express package
we do, and , can’t tell you
how helpful it’s been,” he
said.
The Christmas Express
distributes food, toys and
other items to needy families
during the holiday season.
Engle said she started making
quilts for the program about
12 years ago, and eventually
got a handful of fellow resi-
dents at Desert Sage Manor
to help tie the ones she made,

and in some cases make their
own. Together they donate
between 100 and 120 hand-
made quilts each year.
Community
members
often donate fabric for the
quilts, but the women gener-
ally pay for batting and other
supplies out of their own
pockets.
Engle said she started
making quilts after she
retired “just for something to
do,” but now she loves being
able to help out a worthy
cause.
This year she said she
made most of the fronts and
then set them up on frames
in the common area so
other people could sit and
help tie together the front
and the back. Fellow Desert
Sage Manor resident Geri
Nunnenkamp said having
the quilts to work on during
the year had been helpful in
PENDLETON
Anarchist organizers coming to the arts center
Discussion panel
on two-month tour
through 25 states
By ANTONIO SIERRA
East Oregonian
$narchy is coming to
Pendleton — not literally
— but in the form of a
discussion panel.
The panel, which brings
together anarchist organizers
from /atin $merica, Eastern
Europe, the Balkans and
North $merica, will discuss
modern anarchist ideas and
tactics at the Pendleton
Center for the $rts Oct. 7 at
7 p.m.
“The participants will
compare experiences from
the wave of protests and
uprisings that has swept
the world since 2010
— exploring the role of
demand-based politics in
both catalyzing and limiting
movements, examining a
variety of forms of repres-
sion, and critically evalu-
ating experiments with direct
democracy,” a press release
states. “They will conclude
by assessing the prospects
of contemporary struggles
for self-determination in an
era of globalized capitalism
and state control.”
The panel’s 25-state,
50-stop, two-month tour
will also promote “To
Change Everything,” an
anarchist manifesto written
by Crimeth,nc., a self-de-
scribed
“decentralized
anarchist collective.”
The local event is being
organized by Chris Garri-
gues, a Pendleton resident
and a math teacher at Pilot
Rock Junior/Senior High
School.
Originally from the East
Coast, Garrigues became
familiar with Crimeth,nc.
when he worked at The
Wooden Shoe, an anarchist
book store in Philadelphia.
Garrigues kept in touch,
and when he learned that the
panel was going to tour the
country and was looking for
new venues and cities to host
them, he formed a group
called D’School Pendleton
and volunteered to host one.
While the panel is mostly
presents in major metro
areas and college towns on
its tours, Pendleton won’t
be the only unconventional
stop.
,n between stops like
Portland, San Francisco and
New Orleans, the tour will
stop at Grass Valley, Calif.,
a city of roughly 12,000
between Sacramento and
Reno, Nev., and Durango,
a town of nearly 17,000 in
southwestern Colorado.
Having grown up in a
military town in Virginia,
Garrigues
understands
that many Pendletonians
might consider themselves
law-and-order types.
But he’s hopeful that
panel attendees will come to
the event with an open mind
and be willing to challenge
themselves. Garrigues said
anarchy’s philosophy of
self-determination should
appeal to both liberals and
conservatives.
$lthough the panel will
attempt to clarify anarchy,
the panelists themselves
are shrouded in mystery
— Garrigues said he hasn’t
been told the identity of the
panelists, a move he thinks
might be a way for attendees
to focus on the ideas instead
of the individuals.
,f the event is a success,
Garrigues said he would like
to use D’School Pendleton
to host future educational
events, although they’ll
probably be less provocative
than anarchy.

Wastewater lagoon project will raise sewer rates

P
money from the increase.
He also said the more
expensive option may allow
the city to reach a $46-a-
month threshold that would
qualify it for a $750,000
grant that would reduce the
overall cost.
The $2.7 million option,
though, may not get the
rate over the threshold. ,f
it doesn’t hit that mark, the
city would have to go with
a loan at 4 percent interest.
Baird pushed the $4
million project, but he said
either evaporation option
would be better than irriga-
tion, which would demand
higher maintenance costs
and be subject to more envi-
ronmental regulations.
The city’s current sewer
rate is $28 per month.
The council consensus
was to have $nderson
Perry make drafts for both
evaporation lagoon options.
Then the city will take plans
to a “one stop” meeting with
state and federal agencies
to consider the project and
determine funding mecha-
nisms.

Pilot Rock City Council
learned Tuesday it could not
arbitrarily raise sewer rates
to qualify for low-interest
loans and grants to fund the
city’s new wastewater treat-
ment facility. But it could
justify the $10 rate hike that
went into effect in July to
help pay for the project.
The council last month
voted to have the engi-
neering ¿rm $nderson Perry
and $ssociates, ,nc., draft
plans for new wastewater
lagoons. That project would
cost about $4 million. Then
at the Sept. 10 council
meeting,
Councilman
Deacon Perkins questioned
why the project was about
$1.3 million more than other
options. So Tuesday night
$nderson Perry president
Brad Baird and engineer
Jadon Herron returned for
another round of questions
and answers.
They explained the
council could opt for the
$2.7 million evaporation
system that would turn the
city’s bike pit — currently
used for dirt bike events —
into the lagoons, which is
what the pit used to be. That
estimate, though, does not
include the cost of creating
a new site for the bike pit.
The other option would
reach $4 million because
it would require building
dikes for new lagoons. That
“earth work,” Baird said, is
expensive. But this option
also would mean less main-
tenance and environmental
monitoring over the life of
the lagoons.
,t also would be enough
for the city to warrant raising
the sewer rate to at least
$40.3 a month, the ¿gure
that would qualify the city
for a 1 percent, long-term
loan from government agen-
cies to pay for the project.
Baird said the project cost
must drive the rate increase
— the city simply raising
the rates to get a deal would
not pass muster.
That drew concern from
council members because
the city raised the sewer rate
$10 to pay for the lagoon
work and put the city on
track to get that 1 percent
loan. Baird said the city
should be ¿ne because it has
not built up a large pile of

keeping her mind off of the
health issues she has been
experiencing.
“,t’s fun,” she said.
“When you’re in pain and
you can’t sleep you can sit
and think of something else.”
,n addition to the quilts,
the residents also help the
Christmas Express program
by collecting donations,
crocheting items and buying
toys and books to donate.
Darlene Nelson, property
manager for Desert Sage
Manor, pointed out that the
apartments — which are
available to women age 62
and older — are subsidized
by the housing authority.
She said many of the women
there feel drawn toward
doing something in recog-
nition of the rent help they
receive.
“This is a good way to
give back to the community,”
she said.
Nelson said she wanted to
challenge all of the rent-sub-
sidized housing complexes
in Hermiston to consider
doing something once a year
to help a nonpro¿t.
She said Engle has lived
at Desert Sage Manor since
a month after it opened in
1 and has a big inÀuence
on the close-knit community
of women there. She moni-
tors the alert buttons that
residents can push in case of
a medical emergency, helps
with tenant lockouts and
other issues when Nelson
isn’t available, heads up the
annual yard sale and holiday
bazaar and makes breakfast
for the tenants every Monday.
“She gives and gives and
gives,” Nelson said.
Engle is more modest
about her endeavors, espe-
cially when it comes to the
hours she spends each week
making quilts for families in
need.
“,t’s just something to
do,” she said.
