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.

tle and alfalfa on 24.5 acres,

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.
John Gregory Walker
was born January 28, 1956,
in Hermiston, Oregon,
the son of Woodrow and
Edith (Goodman) Walker.
He passed away in
Hermiston on Friday,
November 10, 2017,
at the age of 61.
John lived the
majority of his life in
the Hermiston area.
He graduated from
Hermiston
High Walker
School in the Class
of 1974. He worked various
jobs throughout his life but
mostly as a body and fender
repairman or farming with
his brother Steve.
He enjoyed golfing and
fishing.
He was preceded in death
by his parents, Woodrow
and Edith Walker, and broth-
ers Jerry and Dick Walker.
He is survived by a
brother, Steve Walker; a
son, Christopher; and
several nieces and
nephews.
A memorial ser-
vice will be held at
3:00 p.m. Sunday,
November 19, 2017,
at the Hermiston Sev-
enth-day
Adven-
tist Church, 855 W.
Highland Ave., Hermiston,
OR 97838). A private inter-
ment will be in the Hermis-
ton Cemetery.
