Jack Bellinger wins re-election to board By GEORGE PLAVEN STAFF WRITER In what turned out to be a closely contested race, incumbent Jack Bellinger was re-elected last week to the Westland Irrigation District board of directors, defeating challenger Ray Vogt by just 12 votes. Bellinger, owner of Bell- inger Farms in Hermiston, kept his seat by a narrow count of 107-95, according to unofficial results. The West- land board met last Monday to certify the election and announce an official winner. The Westland Irrigation District delivers water to approximately 260 patrons in the Umatilla Basin. Only dis- trict members were allowed to vote in the board election, with voting weighted by land ownership. Anyone with up to 40 acres received one vote, while anyone with between 40 and 160 acres received two votes and anyone with more than 160 acres received three votes.

Pendleton, OR I-84 - Exit 216 541-966-1850 said he ran to improve trans- parency between the board and patrons, and to ensure small farmers like himself have a voice in major deci- sions moving forward, such as the ill-fated Central Proj- ect to secure mitigated water from the Columbia River. “I just don’t feel like the smaller farmers have been asked for their advice in any of those decisions,” Vogt said. “The small guy has just as much right to his water as the big guy has to his water.” While Vogt said he will support Bellinger, he added that the tight race does show there are patrons out there questioning whether small farmers are truly being represented. In an interview Wednes- day, Bellinger said his goal is to unite the district in the face of a lawsuit filed against it last year by a group of patrons with senior water rights.
