The Oregon Tech Board of Trustees held the group’s first meetings as a board this week at the Wilsonville campus in prepa- ration for assuming official gov- ernance of the university in July. Trustees met Tuesday through Thursday to learn about the uni- versity’s academic and financial structure, approve board bylaws and select leadership represen- tatives. Meetings were webcast locally in the College Union at Oregon Tech. “This really was history in the making for us,” said Oregon Tech’s President Chris Maples. “To have our own faculty member, our own student as part of the board — it sets the stage for the university to excel.” As of July 1, 2015, the board will assume official governance authority over the university, and will be able to, among other things, employ the university’s president, set tuition rates and authorize the acquisition of prop- erty and university improvements. The university remains governed by the State Board of Higher Edu- cation until June 30. Horse hearted Longtime show rider settles near state lines to be with her favorite animals By LEE JUILLERAT ❚ H&N Regional Editor FORT BIDWELL — The first thing you notice when you walk into Norma Peters’ house are the photos, trophies and ribbons. he photos, mostly black-and- white images, show a young girl with various stages of horse flirtations. In one, 3-year-old Norma is alongside a workhorse. In most of the others, a pretty young woman, wearing a white shirt and narrow tie, sits poised in the saddle as her horse soars over a 5-foot tall gate. “I was just crazy about horses,” she chirrups, scootering about the room with a level of energy, enthu- siasm and sparkle not common for a 93-year-old woman. Minutes later, seemingly oblivious to the evening chill, she’s out the back door ambling out to the barn and hol- lering, “Sox!” In a jiffy, the 25-year- old quarter horse gelding turns away from his feed and trots out to a beam- ing Peters. “He follows me around,” she tells, pleased with herself — and Sox. “He’ll leave his hay and come when I call him.” Sox is the latest in Peters’ stable of well-loved and equally well-trained horses. When she enters the corral carrying two sugar cubes, Sox sidles alongside, nudging and cuddling Peters while she banters and giggles. “I had to live someplace with my horses,” she explains of why she moved from Central California to Fort Bidwell nine years ago. Fort Bidwell, a historic but sparsely popu- lated community just miles away from Oregon and Nevada state lines, is California’s northeastern-most outpost. “That’s why I had to come up here. They built houses. Took away all the places to ride.” Peters is a spry — very alive — 93, so she still rides. Less than 5-feet tall and needing some WD-40 substitute for her aging body, she uses a mount- ing stool to climb aboard Sox.

Horse heartedLongtime show rider settles near state lines to be with her favorite animals
