Dayville hazard trees to be removed Oct. 30
Blue Mountain Eagle
On the morning of Oct. 30, crews
with the Oregon Department of Trans-
portation will begin the process of re-
moving hazard trees from the Highway
26 right of way just east of Dayville.
ODOT has identified as many as 12 such
trees that present a danger and must be
removed. ODOT maintenance managers
will remove the trees to a stockpile site.
Motorists can expect to see equipment
and personnel in close vicinity to the
highway and anticipate some slowing or
stopping (up to 20 minutes) as the oper-
ation is underway. The felling project is
expected to be completed on the same
day.
Operation Shoebox deadlines in November
Blue Mountain Eagle
Over the last 25 years Operation
Christmas Child has delivered millions of
shoeboxes filled with gifts and necessities
to desperately needy children.
Last year, Grant County donated 1,270
shoeboxes filled with gifts. These boxes
provide children with the opportunity for
a better life.
To donate, pick up an empty shoe box
and an informational brochure at any par-
ticipating church or at Len’s Drug. Then
choose a boy or girl and age category (2-4,
5-9, 10-14). Please include $9 inside the
shoebox on top of the gifts or donate it on-
line or by mail to Samaritan’s Purse/Op-
eration Christmas Child in Boone, North
Carolina.
Drop-off deadlines are Saturday, Nov.
10, at Len’s Drug, Sunday, Nov. 11, at
the John Day Nazarene Church and the
Prairie City Assembly of God Church.
On Nov. 12 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Cor-
nerstone Christian Fellowship will be

shipped off.
