The feasibility study is scheduled to be completed in December 2015 and the WURA board of directors will make a decision at that time about proceeding with master planning and trail construction. The Joseph Branch Trail has the potential to create XQLTXH EHQH¿WV IRU QRUWK- eastern Oregon, said Terry Edvalson, who provides project management sup- port and is an adjunct facul- ty member at EOU. “The development of the rail-with-trail could en- courage additional interest in visiting the region, create new opportunities for the local economy, and enhance recreational and quality of life opportunities for local residents,” Edvalson said. The 163 participants in public workshops held in Elgin, Wallowa and Enter- prise in December 2014 provided information about concerns, constraints and opportunities along each mile of the proposed trail. The information is being used to develop a draft trail development design alter- natives report. The draft al- ternatives design report will be presented for review and comment in upcoming pub- lic workshops. A survey to evaluate public support for various design alternatives and gather opinions about other issues related to the trail will be conducted this spring. Reports and other infor- mation about the study are available at www.eou.edu/ rails-with-trails and www. josephbranchtrail.org.

Second and fourth Tuesdays THANK YOUS Sherwood’s Parent’s Club thanks student volunteers I would like to publicly give a huge thank you and standing ovation to the student volunteers from Pendleton High School who helped with our carnival at Sherwood Heights Elementary School — most of the students were from the National Honor Society and the Leadership Group. Those of you who have coordinated an event know that reliable and enthusiastic volunteers are crucial to making an event a success. This group of about 40 young adults stepped up to the plate and absolutely knocked it out of the park! They were not just there, but involved which helped to make this carnival one of our best, in my opinion. By giving of their time and energy, we were able to cover all of our games and activities which made it possible for our parents to be able to enjoy the evening with their kids instead of “working” the carnival. Their donation of time might have been small in their minds but it made a huge, positive impact on hundreds of people at our school, especially myself. I am extremely grateful to have had such a great group of young adults help with Sher- wood’s Carnival! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
