ONTARIO – One of the most notorious eyesores in Malheur County underwent a transformation Saturday as crews tackled garbage, debris and abandoned cars at a home across from Alameda Elementary School.

Cody Easom of Boise, whose parents owned the home, told the Enterprise Sunday that he now intends to sell the property.
