The Pendleton High School teacher didn’t likely give it much thought since she was busy getting a chemo treatment at the Tri-Cities Cancer Center. Unbeknownst to Youngman, however, her students launched a campaign this weekend to get their beloved teacher RQ ³7KH (OOHQ 'H*HQHUHV Show.” Youngman has said she would love to meet 'H*HQHUHV The East Oregonian featured the Spanish teacher in a human interest story on Friday about her third battle with cancer. Youngman receives treatments every other Monday, returning to school the next day, despite fatigue and nausea. The Twitter campaign started gaining traction on Sunday and went crazy on Monday. “It’s blowing up,” said Roman Martinez, a student in Youngman’s Spanish 4 class. Martinez, who sent out plenty of his own tweets, noticed with elation that NFL football player Vic Beasley had tweeted twice on the teacher’s behalf. “Please help us get Kathryn Youngman on @ TheEllenShow. She’s going to beat cancer for the 3rd time all while teaching. Staff photo by E.J. Harris Spanish language teacher Kathryn Youngman has lost her hair due to chemother- apy treatments she has undergone while battling against breast cancer. This is Youngman’s third bout ighting cancer. # Yo u n g m a n O n E l l e n , ” tweeted Beasley. The defensive end for the Atlanta Falcons posted a link to the East Oregonian story. Both tweets shared hundreds of times. “I don’t know how he found out about it, but he must have seen one of the tweets and hopped on the bandwagon,” Martinez said. Other athletes joined in, including University of Oregon quarterback Vernon Adams, Oregon State basket- ball player Tres Tinkle and Olympic beach volleyball player Kerri Walsh. Martinez also messaged Portland Trail Blazer 'DPLDQ /LOODUG DVNLQJ KLP to tweet back. As of Monday afternoon, Lillard hadn’t responded, but Martinez holds out hope. Many of the tweets feature photos of PHS students holding signs with words of encouragement such as “Fight like a girl,” “Heroic” and “Kind.” The students are effusive about Youngman. “She’s always so positive and encouraging about everything,” said senior Taryn Sokoloski. “She always makes us feel loved in school and in life. You feel like you have someone on your side.” Substitute teacher Katie Monchalin teaches Young- man’s classes on treatment days. Montchalin, also Youngman’s niece, watched in awe as students talked up the Twitter campaign and planned other ways to show support. When Youngman returns to class Tuesday, she ZLOO¿QGDVHDRISLQN “The entire school will wear pink,” Montchalin said. “Some tweeted about it, but it’s been mostly word- of-mouth and it was on the morning announcements.” Even PHS rival Hermiston High School has tweeted in support, Martinez noted, and HHS Associated Student *RYHUQPHQW RI¿FHUV YRZHG to wear pink in solidarity on Tuesday. Who knows how long the Twitter campaign will last or whether Ellen will notice. These things tend to ebb and ÀRZ DQG HYHQWXDOO\ YDQLVK but on Monday, enthusiasm ran high. “People put sticky notes with ‘#YoungmanOnEllen’ all over the hallway walls,” Montchalin said. “Someone even wrote it with dry erase markers on the bathroom mirrors.” Students are working on a video to send to the “Ellen” show. ——— Contact Kathy Aney at kaney@eastoregonian.com or call 541-966-0810.

Similar controls were installed last year at Morrow County schools. The system uses a Web-based platform where custodians can monitor room temperatures and preset schedules to maxi- PL]HHI¿FLHQF\ “Anywhere you can get on the Internet, they can access their controls system,” said Cory Wiltshire, project manager with McKinstry in Portland, an energy and facility services contractor. At Milton-Freewater 8QL¿HG 6FKRRO 'LVWULFW McKinstry upgraded the controls system at 94-year-old McLoughlin High School and 106-year-old Central Middle School over summer. The total cost was $260,000, with $50,000 in incentives provided by Milton-Free- water City Light & Power and the Energy Trust of Oregon. Controls were also modernized at Weston Middle School, along with a ÀXRUHVFHQW OLJKWLQJ XSJUDGH at Weston-McEwen High School. That project cost $200,000, with $7,500 from the Energy Trust of Oregon. The districts are expected to save a combined $30,000 annually in energy costs. Wiltshire said the idea is that savings can eventually offset the initial cost of construc- tion. “The biggest goal for us was to ultimately realize no day-to-day changes in comfort level for the users, the students,” he said. “So far, I think we’ve accom- plished that.” Energy and utility costs generally account for 20-40 percent of a school’s mainte- nance and operations budget, according to McKinstry. The company cites a U.S. Green Building Council report that takes student comfort as RQHIDFWRUWKDWFDQLQÀXHQFH achievement in school. “These improvements not only help our districts stretch their energy dollars on day one, but provide a healthier, more comfortable learning environment for all school occupants,” said Lee Hankins, energy business unit manager for McKinstry’s 2UHJRQRI¿FHV ——— Contact George Plaven at gplaven@eastoregonian. com or 541-966-0825.
