Sewer Plant to be Cleaned
Council Okays New
First iteiiionMoiiday"sCity
Council agenda was a hear
ing on an apral against the
conditional use htiii1I to con
struct the new U.S. Forest
Service building on the Lott
Rasmussen Addition.
Attorney Dennis Doherty
represented Clauile Busrhkc
and said toning is designed
to protect the public. He
pointed out that the Heppner
zoning ordinance set limits
on the City Council and that
the Council and Planning
Commission must adhere to
the ordinance. Uses in the
Lott-Rasmussen Addition are
residential except for condi
tional uses compatible with
residential use. He said per
mitting in ivement to a resi
dential district will hurt
downtown valuations and cen
tral business district conve
nience will lie lost. He stat
ed that the conditional use
permit for an office build
ing in the Addition was in
violation of Heppner's zone
ordinance.
Witnesses miking state
ments as apiH'llants said they
didn't want to see commer
cial buildings in a residen
tial zone; that the new build
ing would create traffic ha
zards; that it would deval
uate home values and that it
would not promote the gener
al welfare as shown in the
long-range City plan.
Making the statements were
Don Stroeber, Ron Palmer,
Claude Buschke, Jim Hager.
Mr. Hager said it would des
troy the value of his down
town business lot and that a
commercial building up on the
hill would be a detriment
because of traffic and danger
to children.
Mr. Buschke stated that
the place for commercial bu
ildings was downtown or do
wntown business would be
hurt and that empty dow ntown
buildings were an added ha
rmful thing to downtown bu
sinesses. Mayor Collins read letters
from other appellants again
st the new building location.
Kinord McDaniel Passes
Area residents were sad
dened at the loss of a pio
neer, Kinard McDaniel, 84,
who passed away in Pendle
ton August 3.
Mr. McDaniel was born
Nov. 12, 1887 at Newton,
Indiana, the son of Samuel
McDaniel and Harriet Sto
well. He homesteaded in the
Burton Valley District in the
Hardman area in 1894. The
ranch is still operated by
his two sons. On August

Writing the letter were Joan

Raymond Batty, Mrs. Ron
Palmer, Their letters po
inted out the location of the
new building was inappropr
iate and area cannot stand the
added traffic hazards and lo
cation was in violation of the
City Ordinance.
Attorney Ralph Currin of
Pendleton represented tlie bu
ilder but did not make a
statement.
Randy Lott said item 7
of a section of the City Or
dinance permits a public bu
ilding as proposed which is
not a comiiarcial building.
He said traffic would be neg
ligible compared to the
school. As to damage to
property values, he said
if ttiis tiapiened he
would be hurt worst of all
as he owns most of the land.
He said he's had no objec
tions from property owners
up tbere. Sites on
Main Street were not accep
table to the General Servic
es Administration as that
area is in the Flood Plain.
Mrs. Lott said the 25-mile
per hour speed limit creates
no problem. She said spe
eders and squirrelers had fo
rced them to sell their home
property.
Warren Plocliarsky adja
cent property owner, said he
felt the building would be an
asset and said ' he has no
objections to the new build
ing. City Attorney P.W. M.ih
oney stated an opinion back
ed by the Director of Plan
ning who drew the City Or
dinance that a public build-
ing is one put to government
use by county, state or Fe
deral bodies. Heppner Or
dinance states building can
only be used for that purpose
and is at the discretion of
the City Council.
The City Attorney read a
letter from the City Planning
Commission to the City Coun
cil stating at their last me
eting a unanimous vote
eat-grandchildren.
Services were held Mon
day, August 7 at 10:00 a.m.
at the United Methodist Chu
ch with Rev. Edwin Cutting
officiating.
Sacred selections, "There
Will Be A Vacant Chair"
and "Beyond the Sunset"
were sung by Carl and Bet
ty Marquardt, accompanied
by Mrs. C.C. Carmichael on
the organ.
Interment followed at the
IOOF Cemetery near Hard
man with Sweeney Mortuary
in care of the arrangements.

make its own decision.
The City Attorney stated
that the building permit was
allowable by Ordinance at the
discretion of the City Coun
cil. Mr. Peterson's agent-the

Adults Only!
This article is for adults
only! If you are not an
adult, do not bother to read
any further. However, if you
are, this may be important
to you if you need to learn
to swim, or brush up on
existing skills.
Adult lessons will be of
fered by Linda Orwick at the
Heppner Pool from August
15 to August 18 in hour long
sessions.
This is an ideal time to
take advantage of individual
ized instruction as students
will be taught at their own
pace.
As an important feature
of this course, everyone will
be instructed in elementary
forms of rescue that even
non - swimmers can learn.
This is especially beneficial
to parents as this knowledge
can be invaluable in an em
ergency. So register now for this
brief but worthwhile session
at the Heppner Municipal
Swimming Pool.

SEWER PLANT
DISCUSSION
Gil Croff of the Groff A
Clark Engineers reported on
Hepjmer's sewer plant prob
lems. He said this was not
an unusual situation. He ex
plained that the digester wo
rks much like a septic tank
and produced odors at cer
tain times. When exposed to
air, there is 94 percent water
and balance solids which are
drawn out twice a month.
Some of the solutions he said
were quite expensive. Sludge
can be disposed of by haul
ing to disposal sites. He sug
gested a tap from the bottom
and addition of a pump and
a tank truck for hauling. He
said when the City located a
new garbage disposal site a
little extra land would be ne
eded. He recommended a tho
rough cleaning of the diges
ter. The City has a sewer
fund of about $10,000 which
can be used for cleaning and
obtaining a truck if needed.
Mr. Groff discussed the pos
sibility of installing steam
pipes in the digester to in
crease efficiency.
Mr. Groff expected to con
tact a cleaning expert Tues
day. Council expects imme
diate action on this serious
problem.

cating the old town of Board
man when it was flooded by
the waters of the John Day
Dam.
Mr. West said he and his
