EOU recognized as a 2016 Tree Campus USA Effective urban forest management has garnered Eastern Oregon University recognition as a 2016 Tree Campus USA from the Arbor Day Foundation. The honor was announced April 28 during the universi- ty’s celebration of National Arbor Day. President Tom Insko assisted in planting a Douglas fir — Oregon’s state tree — on the future site of a new grove of trees and native grasses on the La Grande campus. David Yoder, campus grounds coordinator and ISA certified arborist, has been championing the cultivation of EOU’s urban forest and convened the tree advisory committee responsible for devising a longterm plan. David Lageson, director of facilities and planning, Gary Keller, professor of business, students Mitch Staeffler and Victor Dias, and Brian Kelly, a consulting arborist and restoration director for the Hells Canyon Preservation Council, sit on the committee. Insko expressed apprecia- tion to Yoder for spearheading the effort. “Mr. Yoder is so passionate about this, and the fact that Eastern is committed to being a Tree Campus USA is tremendous,” Insko said. “It fits with our mission and Photo contributed by Laura Hancock Eastern Oregon University campus grounds coordinator David Yoder and president Tom Insko plant a young Douglas fir during the April 28 National Arbor Day celebra- tion on the La Grande campus. it fits with our community, so thanks to the committee that made this happen.” Eastern Oregon University is the sixth school in Oregon to meet Tree Campus USA’s qualifications.

Jamie Knight with the Oregon Department of Forestry, the entity that administers both the Tree Campus and Tree City USA programs for the state, applauded the effort. “You have a beautiful campus, and I’m so excited to be here today and part of this event,” Knight said. The national Tree Campus USA program was created in 2008 to honor colleges and universities for effective campus forest management and for engaging staff and students in conservation goals.

Planes, laughter fill the air for McKay Creek residents Vintage cars, aviation displays and military flyovers were recently enjoyed by residents of McKay Creek Estates. A group of residents from the Pendleton assisted living facility attended the April 29 activities that commem- orated the 75th anniversary of the Doolittle Raid. Held at the Oregon National Guard Armory in Pendleton, staff and residents of McKay Creek liked looking at the displays and visiting with military personnel and local first responders, said Noemi Wiseman, executive director. After enjoying lunch at Dairy Queen, Wiseman said the group returned to McKay Creek and hosted residents from Willowbrook Terrace, another Prestige Care facility. The gathering included a social hour and entertainment by comedian Adam Kessler. The Pasco man, who started telling jokes when he was 5, began the comedy club circuit in 2003. After 12 years working in the banking industry, the 40-year-old funnyman quit last year to pursue comedy work full- time. In addition to regular stand-up venues, churches, private parties and corporate events, the Pasco-based comic is known for making the rounds at retirement communities. “Everyone enjoyed the event,” Wiseman said. “The facility was filled with fun and laughter.” For more information about activities at the center, contact Wiseman at 541-276- 1987 or nwiseman@ prestigecare.com.
