Boardman plans assessment HHS king and queen crowned
of police department
around the state. They w ill
interview the officers and
city staff, and may contact
members o f the commu
nity during the assessment
to determine Boardman’s
law enforcem ent needs.
They will then make recom
mendations to the council
based on their assessment.
The Oregon Association
Chiefs of Police also offers
a service to assist the city in
finding a replacement po
lice chief. Currently Loren
Dieter is serving as interim
chief.
In other city busi
ness, the council appointed
David Gray and Bill Han
cock to the Planning Com
mission, renewed a contract
with Boy Scout Troop 602
for flag display services,
ratified the police union
contract, and made an Ar
bor Day proclamation. The
council also amended two
developm ent incentives
resolutions regarding sys
tem development charges
and a commercial water
rate reduction, making the
expiration date on all of the
city’s development incen
tives to July 1, 2011.
The next m e et
ing of the Boardman City
Council will be Tuesday,
April 19 at 7 p.m. at Board-
man City Hall.
T he B o ard m an
City Council is seeking
input before deciding the
direction of law enforce
ment for the city.
Last month the city
council hosted a town hall
meeting to get the public’s
input on what the commu
nity wants from its local law
enforcement. The council
questioned the importance
of 24/7 coverage, quick re
sponse for law enforcement,
w hether the community
wants dedicated officers to
patrol the city, and whether
the city should contract for
law enforcement services
with the Morrow County
S heriff’s Departm ent or
retain its own police de
partment. The public over
whelmingly encouraged the
council to retain the city’s
police department.
At last night’s city
council meeting, Councilor
Ed Glenn proposed a reso
lution to pursue contracting
with the Morrow County
Sheriff’s Department; the
resolution'was rejected by
a vote of 5-1. Instead, the
council instructed the city
m anager to schedule an
assessm ent o f its police
department by the Oregon
Association Chiefs of Po
lice. The assessment team
is made up o f chiefs of
police departments from

lone 4-H Food & Clothing Club
meeting held
By Alexis Garrett
The lone 4-H Food and Clothing Club held
their second meeting of the year on March 13 from 2-4
p.m. at the lone Community Church. Ten of the club’s
12 members were present. Club leaders are Nancy and
Rebecca Jepsen.
Leader Rebecca Jepsen gave a presentation
about quick breads, the topic for the food club this meet
ing. The presentation focused on two main methods of
mixing quick breads, the “biscuit method” and the “muffin
method.” The 4-H members then split into two groups to
practice the methods from Rebecca’s presentation. One
group made “Fluffy Biscuits” shaped like shamrocks and
the second group made a basic muffin recipe and added
either blueberries or chocolate chips.
After baking and sampling the results, the group
then moved on to their sewing project. The members each
brought fabric of their choice and worked on sewing a
pillow case from their fabric. By the end of the meeting,
the members were pleased to see the results of their sew
ing project.
The next meeting will be held on April 17 from
3-5 p.m. at the lone Community Church.
