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

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. The standards
include maintaining a tree
advisory
committee,
a
campus tree-care plan, dedi-
cated annual expenditures
for its campus tree program,
an Arbor Day observance
and student service-learning
project.
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. Currently there are 296
campuses across the country
with the recognition. For

Comedian Adam Kessler of Pasco entertains residents and
guests April 29 at McKay Creek Estates in Pendleton.
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.”
