work on the floors will be
moved into October.

the four unstained tables
stained with one coat of
sealer on them, says she

Isa and Maya Payne made a “cake” out of 99 paper cupcakes
in celebration of Ida Farra’s 99 th birthday last week. Ida was had a light sealer already
born in North Dakota on August 4, 1917. Her 11 siblings were on them and may not be
born in either North or South Dakota. Ida and her husband
Bill opened the shoe store in 1945 in Heppner. Friends and fam-
ily celebrated her birthday with a special lunch and birthday
cake. -Contributed photo

At its Aug. 2 meet-
ing, the Boardman City
Council passed Resolution
17-2016, a resolution in-
creasing the city’s garbage
rate beginning Oct. 1, 2016.
The increase is in response
to a rate increase by the
city’s garbage contractor,
Sanitary Disposal, Inc. of
Hermiston. Mike Jewett of
Sanitary Disposal told the
council they were increas-
ing the fee to the city due
to an increase in operating
expenses for Boardman, at
about 7.2 percent overall.
This is the first increase
in garbage rates in Board-
man since 2013. The cost of
a 90-gallon residential cart
will go from $11 per month
to $12.10 per month. Other
types of garbage services
will increase anywhere
from one percent to 14 per-
cent. For more information,
please contact Boardman
City Hall.
