Household hazardous waste collec
tion scheduled for Morrow County
Residents o f Morrow County may dispose o f a
wide variety o f their household hazardous waste items
free of charge at a collection event scheduled for Saturday,
September 20, at the Morrow County Road Department
parking lot on 365 W. Hwy 74, in Lexington from 10a.m.
- 2 p.m. and again on Sunday, September 2 1, at North End
Transfer Station, 69900 Frontage Lane in Boardman from
10 a.m. - 2 p.m. Morrow County is holding the event in
conjunction with the Oregon Department o f Environmen
tal Quality (DEQ). DEQ funds the event through landfill
disposal fees.
Common items to be collected include aerosol
cans, antifreeze, engine cleaners, fluorescent tubes, her
bicides, household batteries, mercury products, motor oil,
paints, pesticides, solvents, thermometers, weed killers and
wood preservatives. These items should be kept in their
original containers if possible. Persons should not bring
waste items such as explosives or products that contain
radioactive waste, such as smoke detectors.
All collected materials will be handled by a state
hazardous waste contractor. The materials will be screened
for usable products such as latex paint, and will be made
available to local residents for reuse. Remaining materials
will be taken to a permitted hazardous waste facility. After
final processing, these materials will be sent to reuse, re
cycling, energy recovery and incineration facilities. More
than 60 percent o f the collected materials are burned for
energy recovery or recycled. Most o f the remaining materi
als are either incinerated or placed in the hazardous waste
landfill in Arlington.
According to national estimates, each home con
tains three to eight gallons o f hazardous materials. Each
year the average U.S. family throws out 15 pounds of
these toxic products. In addition, family members are at
risk around this hazardous waste. When mishandled or
disposed o f improperly, these products can cause lung
irritation, bums, blindness, even death. Children and pets
are extremely vulnerable. Disposing o f toxic substances
in yards or landfills can leach into soil, polluting ground-
water and streams, harming wildlife and contaminating
drinking water.
For more information about the event, contact:
Morrow County Public Works, (5 4 1) 989-9500; DEQ
Bruce Lumper, (5 4 1) 298-7255 ext.40; or visit DEQ’s

BEO Bancorp YTD
Earnings up 16.3%
Bank o f Eastern Oregon and its parent company,
BEO Bancorp, reports earnings year to date o f $ 1,208,000
through June 30,2008. This is a 16.3% increase over YTD
2007 earnings o f $1,039,000. These positive results come
because o f continued loan growth, up 25.4% year over
year for total loans of $ 164,747,000, and despite reserving
$340,000 for loan losses during the first half o f the year.
Earnings for the second quarter o f2008 were down slightly
at 2.1% because o f this strong reserve stance.
Total assets grew 11.6% to $219,098,000 and total
deposits increased 3.3% to $174,413,000, compared to
6/30/07 totals.
“We are pleased to again report a year-to-date
increase in earnings despite a challenging banking land
scape,” said President and CEO, E. George Koffler. “The
Board o f Directors is taking a positive and pro-active ap
proach to building loan loss reserves during this time of
strong earnings, but economic times test the quality and
strength o f our loan portfolio,” Koffler concluded.

Mock pediatric trauma to be held
Morrow County Undersheriff Steve Myren and
Phillip Engle at the state EMS office, who interact regularly
with the Oregon Trauma System, have collaborated with
pediatric trauma specialists and have developed a train
ing to be held on Sunday, July 27, beginning at 11 a.m. in
Heppner. The mock pediatric trauma will be initiated at
the Morrow County Fairgrounds with EMS and then trans
ported to Pioneer Memorial Hospital Emergency Room
The morning o f Sunday, July 27, two pediatric
trauma specialists from OHSU, Drs. Garth Meckler and
David Spiro, will travel to Heppner. They will be bring
ing their “great new wireless child manikin,” as well as
an infant manikin with the same capabilities. They are
proposing that EMS respond to a scene o f an ATV accident
where the manikin will be programmed. EMS will assess,
extricate, and transport the manikin to Pioneer Memorial.
Upon arrival at PMH, the nursing staff and Dr. Berretta
will proceed as if it were a real case.
They stress that they are not trying to trick anyone
with the scenario, but are hoping to pay attention to how
the staff communicate with one another and run through
a basic primary and secondary survey, make any interven
tions or do any testing that they would normally do, and
then arrange for a trauma transfer to OHSU. Dr. Meckler
will prepare their communication center for a mock call.
With this manikin, medical staff can place IVs, run
fluids, put in an lO, and get all vital signs, and cues from
the manikin. Any lab tests or imaging would be asked for
and some radiographs and numbers will be returned.
OHSU has been doing simulations for a couple
o f years now for their nurses at OHSU and doing mock
codes with the residents, nurses and EMTs focused on clear
communication and teamwork. After the simulation, there
will be a hands-on demo o f the equipment and a discussion
about how the case went.
