Tho snhivil must hp moved
frnm its nrospnt location and be
rebuilt because of the impending
jonn uay aam reservoir, anu ior
months a controversy, empna
ci7orf hv uncertainty, has held
swav hptween Boardman and
Irrigon interests on where the
school should be piacea.
Director Warner s motion came
at tho elimax nf a 2Va hour dis-
cussion before a sizeable dele
gation of interested persons irom
the North Morrow county towns.
Some 40 of those present were
from Irrigon and five or six rep
resented Boardman. Many opin
ions and ideas were neara irom
the audience in time allotted for
open discussion.
After eleven motions naa Deen
presented, most of them by Di
rectors Bob Sicard of Boardman
nnrl Wnrnpr anH most of them
declared dead for lack of a sec
ond, the board approved a mo
tion by Director Fred Martin mat
tho hnarrl annolnt a committee
of five, including all directors
but Sicard and Warner, to stuoy
the sites, consider them at a
meeting on September 4 and
bring a report to the board on
September 10. And that is where
the matter stooa at tne ena oi
the evening.
Both Irrigon and Boardman
made strong pleas for their
choices of sites. Irrigon support
ers backed a 20-acre tract known
as the Robbins property on the
south side of their town and
the Patterson Ferry road site as
a second choice. Boardman resi
dents spoke for a location with
in the new Boardman townsite
yet to be selected or lor bite
B" which is located about xk
milo south nf the new inter
change at the junction of the
bomb range road trom wortn
Lexington with Interstate 80.
Mayor Joe Tatone of Board
man urged that a professional
firm be employed to maKe tne
site selection.
"We have the school and hope
to keep a school," he said. "Un
fortunately we can't tell what
the population will be or where
it will be. I think Irrigon would
be a fine place; I think Board
man would be a fine place. It
has to go where it will do the
most good. Consulting engineers
may be hired to make the choice.
Irrigon may be just as satisfied
if we hired professional people.
"Do you want to deplete our
town hv takine it (the school)
away?" he asked.
Warren McCoy of irrigon
pointed out that the State De
nortmont nf Education in a 1959
survey had recommended that
the school be placed in Irrigon
and reaffirmed this recommen
dation in 1961. He and other
members of the delegation from
that town said that they would
"go along with anotner state
department survey.
Snoaklnff for the Irrieon in
terests, W. H. Parker declared
that Site B Is three or four miles
farthpr from fire Drotection than
tho Irrionn chnlros: that a deeD
well would be needed for water
while the city of Irrigon would
furnish water at the location
in its tnwnsitp: that an Irriffon
choice would eliminate at least
one bus; and that it would be
farther away from any noise anu
odor that might come trom tsoe
ing development.
Tn a nroDosal that all ele
mentary children be educated
in Irrigon and the high school
ho nineoH nn Sito R or in Board-
man, Parker declared, "You've
got the pig on the wrong end.
If anyone needs to be close to
schools, the elementary child
ren do." His Inference was that
this would mean transporting
the Boardman children to irri
gon.

some saying that this would be
a major factor and others dis
counting noise because proposed
tests would be only a "minute
or two" duration and coming
not more than once or twice a
month. Earl McQuaw oi tsoara
man declared, "We're in an ex
nine timp. We'll have noise
the rest of our lives. Planes fly
over the school now every aay.
Both sicard and warner maue
ctrnncr nipas for thpir resDective
fhnirps. Thp former said that Site

limits or eitner town ana tnai
an oipmpntarv school and hieh

Director D. O. Nelson pretty
wpII pvnlained the board's
dilemma in a reply to the partial
pleas.
"Yon can't decide where it
chnnH po. and I can't do it."
he said, stressing the uncertainty i
of future population ot tne area.
"Wp havp an obligation to all
the people not just Boardman
and not just Irrigon," he declar
ed.
Administrator Robert Van
HniitP harl rnmniled some of his
thinking in a mimeographed
message to the board in wnicn
he cited the advantages of a
single elementary plant and sug
gested that all elementary stu
dents be educated in Irrigon with
the provision for school facilities
in the Boardman townsite by
reserving a site for an elemen
tary school if population growth
warrants.
"If the elementary students
are all in attendance at Irrigon,
the high school should be built
near Boardman in order to pro
vide a central location for all
hicrh sehnol students and to Dro-
vide a community facility," he
said in the paper.

ttnwpvpr. at thp meeting Van
Houte said that he has "no axe
tn rrrinrl" fnr nnv nf the DrODOSed
locations. He emphasized that he
does feel tnat some dhsic ques
tions need to be answered. The
administrator pointed out that
some 240 construction days will
be needed to ouua tne new
school, which would be financed
from funds reimbursed trom tne
Army Corps of Engineers and
from a share of proceeds of the
school bond issue passed eany
this year. To have a school ready
by the fall of 1963 would mean
that contract must be let by
December, and this means mat
a decision on site would have
to be made very soon.
Sifarri anH Warner made a
series of motions alternately,
favoring various sites and var
ious rnmhinations of schools,
without receiving seconds from
their colleagues, l'inaiiy warner
received support from Director
L. E. Dick who seconded a mo
tion that the Irrigon site be
chosen for a high school and a
grade school site be reserved in
Boardman.
This motion was withdrawn
after a few minutes discussion
in order that the high school
and grade school matters be con
sidered separately. Warner then
moved that irrigon De cnosen ior
the site. Sicard vainly tried to
amend the motion by striking
out ""Irrigon" and inserting
"Boardman," but this was ruled
out of order. Vote on tne motion
was three to three. Dick, Mrs.
Esther Anderson and Warner
voted yes and Martin, Nelson
and Sicard voted no. unairman
Wilkinson, with the deciding
vote in hand, declared the mo
tion lost, saying that he would
first want to know what would
be done about the grade school.
Finallv Martin's motion was
that the board appoint five of
its members as a committee to
study sites and make report on
September 10 was approved with
out a dissenting vote. The feel
ing seems to be that a dennite
choice will be made at that time
to end the long controversy.
Mrs. Anderson, who had little
to say throughout the evening's
deliberations, offered one sug
gestion that brought some fav
orable reaction. "Why don't Irri
gon and Boardman incorporate
into one town?" she asked.
