Free Family Museum Passes Available at Morrow County Libraries
Free family muse
um passes to area museums
are now available at public
libraries throughout eastern
Oregon, including those in
Morrow County, thanks to
a partnership between the
museum and the nonprofit
Libraries of Eastern Oregon
(LEO).
The passes can be
checked out of the librar
ies just like a book. Each
pass allows all members
o f a family living in the
same household to visit the
museums free of charge.
Information kits contain
ing the free passes have
been sent this past month
to public libraries in all 15
LEO counties by Tamasts-
likt Cultural Institute.
Maryhill Museum
o f Art, near Goldendale,
Wash., has also provided
family passes to the 51
public libraries in the LEO
region earlier this year, fol
lowing a pilot project by the
art museum in the previ
ous year to provide family
passes at selected libraries.
LEO contributed
funds to Tamastslikt and
to the M aryhill art mu
seum toward the cost of
the passes with funding
provided to LEO for its “A
Sense of Place” project by
the Institute of Museum and
Library Services (IMLS).
A Sense of Place calls for
increased collaboration be
tween public libraries and
area museums as a way of
furthering understanding
of the region’s cultural and
heritage resources.
By making access
to these resources as simple
as checking out a book, the
role of the public library as
a resource for opportuni
ties in lifelong learning is
strengthened while at the
same tim e encouraging
greater patronage at area
museums, LEO officials
said.
Staff at The Mu
seum at Warm Springs has
agreed to provide family
passes later this summer
and negotiations are under
way by LEO to purchase
passes from other museums
as well.
“ We’re com m it
ted to providing access to
our museum,” said Carrie
Clark, curator of education
for Maryhill Museum of
Art. “It’s exciting to have
new people come in carry
ing the pass.”
C la rk re p o rte d
sig n ifican tly increased
numbers of visitors from
com m unities w here the
initial passes were placed,
including additional visita
tion by other persons who
said they had never visited
the museum previously but
had heard firsthand about
enjoyable visits from those
who did use the pass.
Maryhill Museum
of Art exhibits include 80
works by Auguste Rodin,

paintings, objects d ’art

Public Meetings in Your Area
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Oregon Department of Energy (ODOE)
and U.S. Forest Service have reopened the public comment period for Idaho Power's
proposed Boardman to Hemingway Transmission Line Project. These agencies invite
you to attend additional public scoping and information meetings about Idaho Power’s
revised project.
Idaho Power is proposing to construct, maintain and operate a new single-circuit, 500
kilovolt electric transmission line between the proposed substation near Boardman,
Oregon, and the Hemingway Substation near Melba, Idaho. The project initially
underwent scoping in 2008, but Idaho Power subsequently developed new routes
based on public input from its community advisory process. In summer 2010, the
company submitted new routes and related documents to the state and federal
agencies for review.
These agencies will be hosting open houses in a community near you; providing an
opportunity for you to review project information, ask questions, view detailed maps
and submit comments.
