Volunteers line downtown
Umatilla with trees
By JADE MCDOWELL
NEWS EDITOR
A swarm of volunteers
in neon vests spread out
up and down Sixth Street
in Umatilla on Saturday,
March 13, to plant 73 new
trees downtown.
Esmerelda Horn, devel-
opment and recreation
manager for the city of
Umatilla, said the trees
are a mixture of hornbeam
trees and red maples. The
city plans to make the tree
planting an annual spring-
time event.
“We’ll hit up a diff erent
area every year,” she said.
The city put out a call
for volunteers to show up
at 8:30 a.m., anticipating
it would take until about
11 a.m. to get all the trees
in. Instead, so many vol-
unteers came out to help
that it took an hour. Some
showed up as individuals
or families, while groups
also showed up from orga-
nizations, including the
InterMountain Education
Service District’s Migrant
Education program, Uma-
tilla School District, and
The Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints.
“It’s incredible,” City
Manager David Stockdale
said. “These are the type
of community events that
bring everyone together.”
Workers also drew com-
ments from people driv-
ing or walking past, thank-
ing them for their eff orts to
beautify downtown.

PET OF THE W EEK
MEET LILLY
Lilly is like a Golden Lab in a
tiny package. She is sweet, silly
and soulful. She did have some
separation anxiety issues with her
previous adopter, so she needs a
home where family is there for
her, maybe a playmate who isn't
demanding. She loves a good belly
rub and her soft blanket.
