Students new to BMCC who

test before they can make a re
gistration appointment. This
includes students transferring
from other colleges who have
not had college-level writing or
math.
The ASSET placement test is
given to help counselors and
advisors assess student ability
in reading, writing and math,
ensuring the students take the
appropriate classes for their
skill level. Regular testing
times are Monday and Tues
day, beginning at 11 a.m. Ap
pointments are not necessary.
Immediately following the test,
results will be assessed by a
counselor and registration ap
pointments for fall term will be
made.
The test is held in the BMCC
admissions and advising office
in Pioneer Hall; there is a $10
per person charge for the test
ing service.
W ell water tests slated at Irrigon
unhealthy situation. Some
wells do need additional testing
to determine the reason for
high nitrate levels," Michael-
Bennett continues. "We would
like all domestic well water
users in the area to take advan
tage of the free tests."
The test are coordinated by
Rich Topielec, OSU Extension
agent, and conducted by Ir
rigon volunteers Bonnie Clow
and Mary Ellen Coleman. The
testing process takes only a few
minutes and results can be
picked up a short time later.
The water sample should be
taken the same morning as the
test. Free sampling bottles and
sam pling in stru ctio n s are
available at Irrigon City Hall,
220 North Main, and Boardman
Pharmacy, 202 N.W. 1st.
For more information, call the
Morrow County Extension of
fice, 676-9642 or 1800 342-3664.
Oregon State University Ex
tension Service is offering a se
cond well water testing oppor
tunity for Columbia Basin rural
homeowners on Saturday, Ju
ly 29, from 1-5 p.m. at the Ir-
rigon Watermelon Festival.
"W e were really pleased to
be able to test 24 Columbia
Basin wells for nitrate levels
during the Boardman Fourth of
July festivities," says Carol
Michael-Bennett, OSU Morrow
County Extention agent.
"The nitrate levels of wells
tested ranged from 0 to 30 plus
parts per million (ppm). It is
really interesting to see how
much nitrate variation there
can be in the same neighbor
hood. Users of wells with less
than 10 ppm are happy to learn
no further tests are needed. A
level higher than 10 ppm is
considered an indicator of an

Forty-five participants and
five dog buddies took part in
the Boardman 4th of July
Wellness Walk. The route us
ed the new riverside walking
path for the first mile of the 5K
event.
The paved walk path follows
the Columbia River through the
B oardm an M arina C am p
ground and connects with
Marine Avenue by the Captain
A1 James Tugboat. Benches are
strategically placed for resting
or viewing.
Austin Freeman, a member
of the Palmdale California High
School track team, did not take
advantage of the benches. Free
man had made a personal chal
lenge to complete the course at
least 10 minutes sooner than
his dad.
Freeman was the first finisher
in the non-competitive event
and arrived 12 minutes before
the second finisher, his dad.
Both Freemans and other par
ticipants said, "The walk path
is a wonderful addition to the
area.”
The walk drew participants
from Boardman, W elches,
Memphis, TN., McCall and
Lava Hot Springs, ID., Olym
pia, Bellevue, Kirkland and
Kelso, WA.
Leave rodents alone, say experts for the
National Pest Control Association
"D on't go looking for mice.
If you don't need to be around
mice, avoid them ," says Dr.
Richard Kramer, director of
Research, Education and Tech
nical Resources for the National
Pest Control Association in
Dunn Loring, Virginia.
Deer mice, which are quite
abundant in most of North
A m erica, are am ong the
rodents known to carry the in
fection, Hantavirus, in their
droppings and urine. The Han
tavirus is spreading eastward
from its initial detection point
in the southwest region of the
U.S.
Humans who come into con
tact with the contaminated
material or who breathe airbom
particles in an area where it has
dried may be at risk.
Generally, the onset of this
disease begins with respiratory
flu-like sysmptoms, followed
by nausea and then rapid onset
of respiratory distress from the
lungs filling with plasma. More
than half the cases are fatal.
The incubation period in
humans can be five to 41 days,
but is usually 12-16 days.
Treat all mice as though they
are infected, Kramer advises.
Do not catch mice just to deter
mine if they are deer mice and
are in your area.
One identifying feature of the
deer mouse is its tail, which is
short and finely haired with a
well-defined dark stripe on top
and white on the bottom. The
deer mouse is grey to brown
with a white belly. It has short
hind feet and all four feet are
white.
D eer mice ten d to live
together in winter, with several
congregating in one nest. They
are food-gatherers and store
nuts, fruits and insects in bur
rows. Hawks, owls and other
predators catch and eat deer
mice.
If you have them in your
house, you will want to get rid
of them, Kramer says. To
remove mice, use common
snap traps baited with peanut
butter. Place several traps about
10 feet apart throughout the
house. When cleaning up, use
household cleaners and wear
cotton or plastic gloves and a
full-face respirator.

Funding for GWEB projects
comes from the Oregon State
Lottery.
The new p ro jects were
awarded funds by GWEB at a
meeting in Salem on June 22.
The board considered a total of
53 grant applications. "The
GWEB process is successful
because our funds become a
catalyst for getting local folks
involved," said Chair Carole
Whipple. "And they help draw
other funds from lots of dif
ferent sources, both for com
munity education and to help
resolve tough environmental
problems." Whipple, a rancher
from Elkton, in southern
Oregon, is a strong proponent
of looking at land management
from a watershed perspective.
The term "watershed" refers to
all the land drained by a single
stream or system of connected
streams.
Additional GWEB grants will
be awarded over the next two
years for watershed restoration
projects supported by local
watershed councils. Selected
projects m ust dem onstrate
sound watershed enhancement
techniques or educate about the
concepts of watershed en
hancement. GWEB grants are
available to in d iv id u als,
b u sin esses, organizations,
government agencies, schools,
or other groups.

Over $380,000 in grant funds
from the Governor's Water
sh ed E nhancem ent Board
(GWEB) will go to 12 water
shed restoration and education
projects around the state in the
next two years.
A $4,812 grant was awarded
for Damon Riparian Enhance
ment, near Heppner on a
Willow Creek tributary.
According to the GWEB, the
area has been overgrazed and
noxious weeds have invaded
the site, inhibiting native grass
production. The applicant will
plant 500 Caragana seedlings in
the riparian area to help im-'
prove water quality, water
quantity and wildlife habitat,
and will fence the area to ex
clude livestock. PVC pipe will
be installed to carry spring
water that currently stays in the
spring area to a livestock water
ing trough. The trough will be
allowed to overflow into the
riparian area to help improve
streamside vegetation growth.
In Wasco County, $56,250
will go toward upland restora
tion in the Bakeoven Creek
watershed. In Lane County,
$6,000 will be used to train
teach ers about w atersh ed
education concepts. In Malheur
County, $27,155 will help fund
riparian fencing and juniper
control in the Clover Creek
watershed. The other funded
projects are in Tillamook,

Additional suggestions: keep
woodpiles at a distance and
store food stocks in rodent-
proof containers. Place all gar
bage in rodent-free containers
and haul away trash, abandon
ed vehicles and old tires.
It is best to leave the follow
ing precautions to professional
exterminators: in buildings
with large rodent populations,
open doors and windows for at
least 30 minutes to ventilate.
The professional will hose
down the area with water or a
w ater/b leach solution to
remove dust or gaseous air
borne particles from mouse
droppings. He or she will will
wear a full-face respirator while
cleaning.
When removing mice, wear
heavy plastic gloves. The pro
fessional will place carcasses in
plastic bags with enough
household disinfectant to wet
the mice and dispose of the
bags correctly. Before removing
gloves, he or she will wash
gloved hands in a disinfectant
of three tablespoons of bleach
per gallon of water and then in
soap and water.
