New fair coordinator talks parking, carnival
By BRITTANY NORTON
East Oregonian
With opening day just
over a month away, the
Umatilla County Fair’s new
coordinator is working to
make its second year at the
Eastern Oregon Trade and
Event Center a success.
Angie McNalley assumed
the title of fair coordinator
in April, after former fair
coordinator Cyndie Driscoll
resigned in March.
McNalley was formerly
the administrative assis-
tant of the fair, which acts
as a support position for
the manager. She said she
is familiar with many of the
responsibilities of being fair
coordinator.
“It wasn’t the right time

spots than years

optimistic that carnival rides
will go more smoothly this
year.
“There were issues with
the contractors that the car-

of left a bad taste in every-

that over the years every-

more rides, bigger rides and

we’re at this year,” she said.

McNal-

PENDLETON
Pipeline project reflects on first year of connections
By ANTONIO SIERRA
East Oregonian
The Employee Pipeline
Project set modest goals
for itself in its first year and
largely met them.
A collaboration between
Eastern
Oregon
Busi-
ness Source, the Pendleton
School District and Umatilla
County, Employee Pipe-
line officials gave a progress
report to the organizations
involved with the project’s
inaugural year.
An offshoot of the
Schools to Careers program,
the Employee Pipeline’s
stated goal was to place five
Pendleton high school stu-
dents in career-track jobs by
the end of the school year.
Employee Pipeline coor-
dinator Bonnie Day said
four students were placed
at local jobs while six more
had serious leads on future
positions. The four stu-
dents found work at well-
known employers: the
Pendleton Fire Depart-
ment, St. Anthony Hospital,
Sign Men, and the Oregon
Department of Forestry.
Overall, the program
engaged more than 40
seniors and helped con-
nect them with more than
90 internships, job shadows,
mentorship meetings and
tours.
The Employee Pipe-
line team also learned a lot
on what worked and what
didn’t in a year Schools to
Careers coordinator Chris-
tina van der Kamp called the
“pre-beta” stage.
Pipeline officials found
that meeting with stu-
dents one-on-one several
times throughout the year
kept kids engaged with the
program.
They also experienced
more success when poten-
tial employers were flexi-
ble, whether it was sending
human resources represen-
tatives directly to the school
to talk to students, working
with students to accommo-
date their school schedule
or holding a job until after
graduation.
But staff also saw areas
where they could improve.
While Employee Pipe-
line worked with more than
40 students, Day said many
students fell off after a while
because they lost interest or
stopped communicating.
The program also some-
times struggled to set up
kids with employers eager to
bring students in.
Wildhorse Resort &
Casino was enthusiastic
about Employee Pipeline,
but it was often difficult to
find transportation to send a
student to Mission.
Interpath Laboratory was
also a willing participant,
but the program had trouble
preparing students to work
there.
While internships at the
Pendleton Unmanned Aerial
Systems Range are comple-
mented by Pendleton High
School’s robotics program,
there isn’t an equivalent
class for medical lab work.
Susan Bower, the director
of Eastern Oregon Business
Source, said van der Kamp
and Day spent a significant
amount of time going over
job search basics like fill-
ing out an application or
requesting a Social Security
number.
Bower said she went
into the program thinking
every child had an adult role
model who demonstrated
good work practices.
“I learned a lot,” she said.
“They don’t.”
Bower said Employee
Pipeline is working with the
Pendleton School District to
better integrate career readi-
ness into school curriculum.
After some modest suc-
cess in year one, Employee
Pipeline will have time to
build on it.
Eastern Oregon Business
Source recently secured a
$100,000 grant from the
Pendleton School District to
continue running Schools to
Careers and Employee Pipe-
line for the next two years,
and it’s expanding those ser-
vices into Pilot Rock and
Athena-Weston.
Van der Kamp said
Employee Pipeline plans
to introduce software next
school year where students
can create and post resumes
and employers can post jobs.
With operations expand-
ing, Bower said she will hire
a new part-time staff mem-
ber to help run the programs.
Bower said Schools to
Careers and Employee Pipe-
line won’t achieve all of its
goals in its first year or sec-
ond year, but eventually they
will have a “greater impact
on society.”

Fireworks safety tips
East Oregonian
As the Fourth of July
approaches, American Red
Cross and the Umatilla
County Fire District 1 are
reminding people to be safe,
and to use common sense
when lighting fireworks.
Fire marshal Scott Goff
asked people to make sure
they light fireworks in areas
clear of vegetation, stored
items, and away from
structures.
“Make sure you get a
good plan to dispose of
them,” he said. “A bucket
with water, give them a
good soak and make sure
they’re out before throwing
them in the trash.”
It’s important to make
sure kids are supervised
when they light fireworks,
he said, and Red Cross
warns not to give any fire-
works to young children.
The fire department
often sees problems with
people lighting fireworks
too close to a house or out
in the yard, Goff said, where
parts of the landscape will
catch fire.
Goff said the department
usually has a few extra peo-
ple on hand during the
Fourth of July holiday, as
they usually see a few fires
just after dark.
He said as far as he
knows, all the fireworks
sold in the area are licensed
and permitted through the
state fire marshal’s office.
“The problem is typi-
cally stuff coming from out
of state,” he said. “Things
that fly in the air, explode,
those kinds of things tend to
cause us problems.”
