National Night Out festivities kick off in Hermiston
Treasure hunt
begins with
fi rst clue
TREASURE HUNT
CLUE NO. 1
Jesus said, “Come to me …
and I will give you rest.”
But don’t be surprised if
there’s a test.
Something might look out
of place.
But when you fi nd it, you
won’t be off base.
Don’t just look, you might
have to lift.
Then an ice cream party
will be your gift.

medallion as part of Herm-
iston’s festivities. It’s about
3 inches in diameter and is
attached to a red, white and
blue ribbon.
The treasure hunt, Miears
said, is a fun way to get

Eastern Oregon
Climate Change
Coalition receives
Wildhorse
Foundation grant
PENDLETON — The
Eastern Oregon Climate
Cha nge Coalit ion, or
EOC3, recently announced
it received nearly $2,000 in
grant funding from Wild-
horse Foundation to continue
its program of climate
change education for East-
ern Oregon.
EOC3 is a nonprofi t that
aims to provide scientific
information about climate
change to the public and
began providing monthly
Climate Conversations in
March 2018. Topics included
wildfi re susceptibility, wine
production and global patho-
gens and infectious diseases.
The meetings were usually
at a local pub or Blue Moun-
tain Community College.
As public interest increased,
organizers needed technol-
ogy to allow them to record
and broadcast live sessions
and make it easier for indi-
viduals to take part.
“We appreciate Wild-
horse Foundation’s support
of our educational eff orts,”
EOC3 Chair Dave Powell
said in a press release. “This
funding will allow us to
reach a broader audience
than we could before.”
The grant made it possible
for the coalition to acquire
a video camera, recording
equipment and accesso-
ries so it can post recorded
sessions to its Facebook page
and website.
“Broadcasting monthly
programs allows eastern
Oregon residents to gather
in different locations and
share a program together,”
said Powell.
Residents in Board-
man, Heppner, Hermiston,
La Grande, Enterprise and
Walla Walla also expressed
interests in EOC3 programs
but were not able to attend.
With the new technol-
ogy, according to the press
release, there is no limit to
who can participate.
