Volunteer campground hosts wanted East Oregonian PENDLETON — The Umatilla National Forest is looking for volunteers to spend the summer as camp- ground hosts at the Jubilee Lake and Bull Prairie Lake campgrounds, according to a press release from the Umatilla National Forest. A campground host greets campers, provides informa- tion on the surrounding area and generally makes campers feel at home. Hosts will visit with campers and day-use visitors, clean and maintain restrooms, restock supplies, occasionally clean up after camp, and carry out minor maintenance as needed. Hosts need to be friendly, fl exible, and responsible. Host applicants may be subject to a criminal background check. Successful applicants will need to supply their own trailer, camper, or motor home. Campground hosts will be provided a campsite, usually near the main entry- way to the campground. Though the host program is a volunteer program, a food allowance and propane is off ered, and personal vehicle mileage associated with host- ing duties is reimbursed. Jubilee Lake Campground is located 12 miles northeast of Tollgate and is the larg- est developed campground on the Umatilla National Forest off ering 53 campsites, four picnic areas and a 2.8 mile accessible hiking trail around the 92-acre lake. The campground is very popu- lar for overnight camping as well as day-use activities. Campground hosts are typi- cally on-site from early-July through mid-September.

KEEP IT Ben Lonergan/East Oregonian, File A sign advises employees they must be wearing masks at an employee entrance to Wildhorse Resort & Casino on Friday, June 5, 2020. The Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation will continue to require masks in all the opera- tions it owns on and off of the reservation. CTUIR will keep mask requirements By BRYCE DOLE East Oregonian MISSION — The Confed- erated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation will continue to require masks in all tribal government offi ces and tribally owned stores and restaurants both on and off the reservation, according to an announcement from tribal health offi cials. The announcement comes a week after state and federal health officials said fully vaccinated people don’t need to wear masks in most public settings. State offi cials later clarifi ed that fully vaccinated Oregonians can only enter a business maskless if they show proof of vaccination, and businesses must require masks if they don’t check. But the CTUIR decided to keep its previous mask-wear- ing rules in place because “there is no effi cient and reli- able method for determining whether a person has been vaccinated,” the announce- ment said. And although many people have vaccination cards showing they’ve been immu- nized against COVID-19, tribal offi cials “will not place the burden on our employees to verify if patrons, co-work- ers or clients are vaccinated.” Tribal health offi cials also said mask rules will remain in place to protect all people within tribal jurisdiction from the coronavirus, partic- ularly those who have yet to be vaccinated. Tribal offi cials “strongly” encouraged people intending to hold gatherings during the upcoming graduation season to limit group size and hold gatherings outdoors. “Any event or gather- ing that is held, whether in a private social setting or as part of a larger organized event such as prom or grad- uation, should observe the masking and social distanc- ing requirements that indoor events necessitate,” tribal offi - cials said. And with the recent case spike on the reservation, tribal health offi cials said they plan to be “extremely cautious” while considering easing mask requirements in the coming weeks. 3(752/(80 345 N. 1st Place, Hermiston, OR 97838 541-28 9-5015 • www.mcpcoop.com LOCAL ELMER’S IRRIGATION, INC. “Proudly serving & investing in the future of our communities” Hwy 395 • Hermiston 541-567-5572 Complete Collection Service Complete Collection Service Licensed • Bonded No Collection • No Fee Tim Mabry President 461 E.
