CHAMBER CHATTER By Claudia Hughes Chamber Executive Director By now the ballots have arrived in voting households. Your vote can make a difference and we sometimes forget what a privilege it is to have a voice in our country. It’s easy to become apathetic and w onder if it does any good. Take a few minutes to m ark your ballot, hold a living room forum to hear different opinions, think about the people w ho m ake a difference in rural c o m m u n itie s , c o n s id e r agriculture, the need for jobs, listeners, those w ho represent those things closest to your heart, those w ho are w illing to state what they believe, and then cast your ballot. Every vote matters. You matter. While visiting over coffee the other day, a customer service s to ry w a s s h a re d .

The District is governed by a b o a rd o f fiv e e le c te d directors. Since the District was formed in 1995, its directors have been elected by zone; that is, the District is divided into five zones, and one director represents each zone. The director representing the zone must reside within the zone, and is elected by electors residing within the zone. A f te r e a c h f e d e ra l census, the law req u ires the D istrict b o ard to a d ju st the electoral zones to ensure that they are as equal in population as possible. If the method o f electing the board by electoral zones rem ains in place, the board will be r e q u ir e d to m a k e th is a d ju stm e n t w ith in th e year. Because the County’s population is increasingly concentrated in the th re e z o n e s e n c o m p a s s in g Boardman, Irrigon, and adjacent rural areas, and relatively sparse in the tw o southern zones, the geographic boundaries o f the southern zones will have to be extended into the Boardm an- Irrigon areas to balan ce the population among the zones. The District’s board o f directors has determ ined that this boundary shift will effectively elim inate representation by geographic area. To resolve this concern, the District placed a measure on the ballot at the Nov. 5, 2002, general election, to elim inate electoral zones within the District, so that board m em bers will be elected at-large by all eligible voters in the County. The Board decided to put the ballot measure before the voters for the following reasons: -It is in the best interest o f the district to elim inate the need to adjust our boundaries each time there is a census. That process is very expensive; -Because the boundary shift w ould have to extend the lone and H eppner zones into the Boardm an and Irrig o n a re a s it e lim in a te s representation by geography area; and -By having all board m em bers serve the district at large they are responsible to the constituents o f the entire district, not just their zone. Currently, the Board o f D irecto rs co n sists of: T erry Tallman, Boardman; Bob Byrd, Irrigon; B arry Turner, O uter Boardman / Irrigon; Del LaRue, lone; and C yde M arie Estes, Heppner. Each year, the district contracts w ith local non-profit e n titie s to f a c ilita te m an y activities, som e o f w hich are: music, advertising and fireworks for the Boardman Fourth o f July; music and advertising for the lone Fourth o f July; m usic for the Irrigon W aterm elon festival; m usic in the Parks, Boardm an and Irrigon; music for Cinco de M ayo; m usic for St. Patrick’s Day; entertainment for the Lewis and Clark Heritage Day; music in th e P a rk s fo r H e p p n e r, Lexington and lone; and m any others. The district’s prim ary c o n tra c t is w ith th e S chool District to provide co-curricular activities.
