Pendleton Aquatic
Center plans
public opening
PENDLETON — After a
year of closed doors, Pendle-
ton Parks and Recreation has
announced its plans to open
the Pendleton Aquatic Center
to the public on June 12.
The Pendleton High School
Swim Team petitioned the city
to allow them the opportunity
to utilize the facility for prac-
tice in May after the Oregon
School Activities Association
shifted their season.
The Pendleton Aquatic
Center will also be offering
classes during the month of
May, which include swim
lessons, scuba diving lessons,
water safety classes and
more as part of their “Learn
to Swim” and water safety
programs. May Aquatic Center
activities and swim lessons
opened for registration online,
by phone, or in the parks office
on Monday, April 12.
For the month of May, only
the 50-meter pool will be in
operation limited to struc-
tured activities and classes for
the May session. The Aquatic
Center entrance has temporar-
ily shifted to the old pool build-
ing, located at the east side of
the Aquatic Center.
The full Aquatic Center
will be open for public swim
times after its regular June
opening. Season passes for
the normal operating months
are available for purchase,
with a 10% early bird discount

OCA provides
wildfire assistance
SALEM — The Oregon
Cattlemen’s Association
(OCA) has provided $45,000
in wildfire assistance to
ranchers and Rangeland
Fire Protection Associations
(RFPAs) impacted by the
severe and tragic wildfires
from the summer of 2020,
which burned over 1 million
acres in the state.
OCA received 12 appli-
cations for assistance with
a combined request of over
$258,000 for expenses and
losses relating to 2020 wild-
fires. Applications were
submitted from Crook,
Harney, Jackson, Lake, Linn,
Morrow, and Wasco coun-
ties, with the majority of
applicants residing in Lake
County. Funds were provided
to every applicant and ranged
from the smallest amount of
$500 to the largest amount of
$13,700 provided to an indi-
vidual applicant.
This assistance was made
possible due to the large
generosity from Northwest
Farm Credit Services and
the various donors who made
contributions to OCA’s Wild-
fire Assistance fund since
September of 2020.
