Eagle Scout spruces up The Arc garden project
Hermiston Herald
While most people
were relaxing during the
Memorial Day weekend,
a determined Boy Scout
was working at The Arc
Building in Hermiston.
Logan Miller of Troop
#679 was sprucing up The
Arc Memorial Garden as
part of his Eagle Scout
project.
Supervised by Boy
Scout leaders Pat Mc-
Donough and Jenny Mill-
er, along with fellow Boy
Scouts, Jason Simpson
and Isaac Reardon of
Troop #654, the dedicat-
ed group of volunteers
came together on May
27. They transformed the
front flower beds into an
oasis of color with plants
provided by Westwinds
Nursery and D & B Farm
Supply in Pendleton, said
Kristi Smalley of The Arc.
Miller also commit-
ted to constructing four
benches that will be at-
tached to the front porch
to provide outdoor seat-
ing. The Arc president
Michele Keitzke was also
on hand to provide a roto-

intellectual and develop-
mental disabilities. The
garden also honors the
memory of other friends
and loved ones.
The first year, the
Green Thumb 4-H group
from Athena prepared the
flower beds and planted
flowers to assist in beau-
tification, Smalley said.
Two of the members of
the club had lost their fa-
thers in the previous year
and wanted to do some-
thing in their memory.
As part of the Memo-
rial Garden project, mem-
bers of The Arc also place
flowers during Memo-
rial Day weekend at the
headstone located in the
Pendleton Cemetery for
residents who were living
at Eastern Oregon Hos-
pital and Training Center
who died between 1913
and 1982. Many of the
residents, Smalley said,
died during that era with-
