VALE Jerry Erstrom, of Vale, was known as the weed man both locally and at the state level. Erstrom recently died, a victim of COVID-19, but will be remembered for his battle to control weeds — particularly in the rangeland, when he worked for the Bureau of Land Management and after he retired. Gary Page, Malheur County weed inspector, said Erstrom along with former county commissioner John Bishop were instrumental in the re-organization of the Malheur County Weed Advisory Board in 1997. The pair lobbied the County Court to reestablish the advisory board which had lapsed for several decades, and Erstrom pushed for the creation of a county department.
