Garden at a community garden work party Saturday. Girl Scout troop members participated for their Earth Day project. Community
garden work party organizer Chelle Hankinson said the work day was a success, drawing in the most volunteers ever, including
people from Lifeways group, youth from the Umatilla County Juvenile Detention Services, master gardeners and plot owners.
Hankinson said about a dozen garden work plots are available. People should call her at 541-564-6878 for more information.

also told that hosting a cer-
emony at Kennison Field
could jeopardize the war-
ranty for the new track,
where some seating would
be situated. The company
recommended, if the school
district hosts something
other than an athletic event,
3/4-inch plywood be placed
on the surface. Kay said,
based on the measurements
of seating placement in the
gymnasium, the district
would have to put down
about 350 sheets of ply-
wood, which would cost
about $21,000.
Additionally, the district
would have to pay more for
the sound system because
the company that provides
the service would need dif-
ferent equipment for cere-
monies in the stadium, plus
the standard sound system
would still have to be set up
in the gymnasium. There
would also be added costs
for additional seating and
increased security for the
outdoor location.
Maiocco said cost was a
big concern for him.
“Twenty thousand is just
the tip of the iceberg,” he
said of the cost. “I don’t
have any of these expenses
programmed into our bud-
get, currently.”

School Board member
Greg Harris said, regardless
of where the event takes
place this year, the analysis
was helpful because, as the
school district continues to
grow, the graduation site
will become more of an is-
sue.
“It’s something we ha-
ven’t talked about as a
board,” he said.

It also passed a motion
