Greeting from Badger Land!
North Powder seems to be the
only place in the area still “bad
gered” with snow and ice. La-
Grande, Union, and Baker all seem
clear of snow and ice except for
the piles left by the snow plows.
How has your week been? Hope
all is going well. Seems like some
thing is always happening here.
Haines/North Powder Food Bank
was this week and 68 boxes were
handed out to the community.
Face Lift for Grange
The Wolf Creek Grange will be
getting a new look this week. After
the Friday lunch bunch several
people went to work clearing out
the grange as the floor is getting a
face lift. The floor will be refin
ished and will take about a week to
dry thoroughly. This work is being
done by community service work
ers. So, for the next two weeks
(Jan. 30 and Feb. 6) the lunch
bunch will be held at the United
Methodist Church.
Booster Station Operational
City Recorder Beth Wendt said
the new booster station was up and
running and everyone should now
have good water pressure.
North Powder has received a
grant in the amount of $101,250
for a new Wastewater Facility
Plan. The grant is from the
Water/Wastewater Financing Pro
gram from Business Oregon Infra
structure Finance Authority. The
project is estimated to cost about
$135,000, so the city will have to
finance the difference. A request
for engineers to submit their qual
ifications has been sent and the
deadline for those to be submitted
is Feb. 9.
The city has been operating
under a Mutual Agreement Order
with the DEQ for the past three
years due to non-compliance is
sues at the Wastewater Facility
plant. In addition to the nop-com-
pliance issues, new state and fed
eral regulations will eventually
discontinue allowing recycled
water to be sent to rivers and
streams. Under our current DEQ
permit we are allowed to send the
treated wastewater to the river dur
ing the winter months (Nov.-
May).
A new wastewater facility plan
would provide alternative options
for the treated wastewater as well
as making recommendations for
dealing with the non-compliance
issues.
Public Hearing
A public hearing will be held
Feb. 2 at the regular city council
meeting at 7 p.m. at the Wolf
Creek Grange. This meeting will
be to get public opinion on the
water project and how they felt it
all went.
Library News
The library will be sponsoring
the annual Groundhog Breakfast
on Feb. 7, from 8-11 at the Wolf
Creek Grange. Prices are: Children
age 10 and under $3 which in
cludes two pancakes, one egg, one

Here we are, the last week of Jan.
Can you believe it? I can't. We
have snow, of course, in Halfway
and in Oxbow they are mowing
their lawns, in Richland the ground
for the most part free of snow. And
the forecast for weather is cold,
cloudy, some sun. No huge com
plaints here. At least the ground is
frozen and we are staying away
from the mud....for now.

Slide and Power Outage
A mud and rock slide between

So much came down that the road
was completely blocked. Thus
started the clean up, no road travel

They had to use dynomite on some
of the rocks as they were too huge
to just move.
Then on Saturday, while the
clean was occurring, a power line
glitch of some sort happened. And
yes, clear skies, no rain, ho snow,
no heavy wires....just a power out
age. It took the power out in
Halfway and Richland for a few
hours.

Whitey Bloom and crew were

sold this year (again). The new
ones will be painted on Friday
starting about 9 a.m. at the Lions
Club. If you are looking for some
thing to do on Friday, drop in and
see if you can lend a hand. Can't
wait to see them all up. The hearts,
I should explain are big plywood
hearts, a thought is printed on them.
Folks purchase the heart thoughout
