EOTEC plans last
pre-fair meeting
HERMISTON — The
Eastern Oregon Trade and
Event Center authority
board will have its last
meeting before the Umatilla
County Fair on Friday.
The meeting starts at
7 a.m. in EOTEC’s event
center, 1705 E. Airport
Road.
On the agenda is a
discussion of the project’s
well usage. The drilling of
wells on EOTEC property
for irrigation has been
a cause for concern and
complaint for some neigh-
bors, who say the EOTEC
wells could run theirs dry.
The board has been paying
to use potable city water for
irrigation while it attempts
to find a permanent solution
for its water needs, which
will include some water
from the Stanfield Irrigation
District.
Friday’s agenda also
includes discussion of
a public safety building
being added to the EOTEC
grounds for use by law
enforcement during fair
week, as well as reports on
finances, construction and
events held at EOTEC.
The board plans to
adjourn into executive
session to discuss the hiring
of a general manager to run
EOTEC, but the agenda
does not include an action
item after the session. The
board has been advertising
the position since the
beginning of June.
The board’s next meeting
is planned for Aug. 25, after
EOTEC has hosted its first
fair and rodeo.

members were introduced to
the chamber’s new board of
directors on Tuesday during
a Business to Business
luncheon.
Josh Burns of the
Wal-Mart
Distribution
Center is serving as the
chamber’s board chair for
2017-2018. He said the
next year will be “exciting
times” for the chamber as
it continues its search for
a new home after the city
of Hermiston informed the
chamber it would need to
move out of the Hermiston
Conference Center by Jan. 1.
“After the first of the
year we’re going to be doing
something different,” he
said. “What that is, we don’t
know yet.”
Burns replaced outgoing
director Shirley Parsons,
who executive director
Debbie Pedro praised
as guiding the chamber
through a difficult year full
of changes. Parsons said the
experience has been “chal-
lenging, but also been fun.”
“I’m so grateful for the
relationships that have been
built over the last year,” she
said.
The board’s treasurer for
the year will be Kara Taylor,
and Paul Keeler has been
chosen as chair-elect and will
serve as chair in 2018-2019.
The chamber also welcomed
Tammy Smith at Tim Mabry
as new board members.

East Oregonian
Good Shepherd Health
Care System is rolling out
new services to patients.
On
Tuesday
the
Hermiston-based hospital
announced the launch of
personal home caregiving
services. Heather Osborne,
GSHCS home health and
hospice manager, said in
a news release that in the
past Good Shepherd has
offered in-home medical
services like physical
therapy, but not services
such as assistance in
bathing or cooking.
“Over the past 12
months, we have had an
increase in inquiries for
home caregivers. With
no other home caregiver
agency services in the
community, we saw a
need, decided to take
action and create a service
the
community
was
requesting,” Osborne said.
Services provided will
include bathing, personal
grooming and hygiene,
dressing,
shopping
and errands, mobility,
nutrition, hydration and
feeding, laundry, medica-
tion assistance, toileting,
housekeeping,
medical
appointment
assistance
and transportation assis-
tance. Caregivers can
stop by an assisted living
facility each day to give
one-on-one help with a
meal, spend a week doing
laundry or cooking for a
patient post-operation, or
even provide transporta-
tion and company to go see
a movie.
Good Shepherd also
announced a new tran-
sitional care program,
which was developed
in partnership with CHI
St. Anthony Hospital in
Pendleton and Allevant
Solutions. The program
will serve patients who
are well enough to leave
full-time care in a hospital
setting but still have needs
such as wound care or
breathing treatments that
make their recovery in a
home or assisted living
facility difficult.
Dennis Burke, president
and CEO of Good Shep-
herd, said in a statement
that the program will allow
local patients to return to
the community to receive
care closer to home after
initial treatments at larger
facilities in the Tri-Cities
and Portland areas.
