Around About
By Justine Weathcrfora'
Sometimes It seems that Morrow County, particularly the
Heppner area, goes on about the same year after year. This
has not been true since preliminary work began on the
Willow Creek Dam Project.
The relocation of the Willow Creek and Balm Fork roads
has brought such a change to those who live near the old
routes in the neighborhood of Hager Park or who live along or
use the new route. We who are on South Court Street, which
connected with the old Willow Crock Road, have seen such a
' drop In traffic passing our homes. No longer do I watch loads
of logs come by, no longer can I see families going to the
mountains and often bringing home loads of wood, and this
Christmas time the fresh-cut yule trees will come over the
new road and I will miss seeing them pass by.
Last week I was very interested in the talk and slide show
that Col. Robert Williams, district engineer for the Walla
Walla District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
presented Tuesday noon. His slides showed the extent of the
Walla Walla District which mainly encompasses the Snake
River drainage area, although it touches In parts of six
different states with Its largest portion being In Idaho.' "
Actually, Heppner Is not In the Walla Walla District, but '
this project was assigned to that district for both design and
construction. Col. Williams stressed how this project is really
making Heppner famous as its roller compacted concrete
construction Is very new and Is being publicized in many
engineering and construction journals. Engineers and
construction workers from many part of the world have
come to view this dam being built.
The fact that this sized dam is being completed in one
season is remarkable. The contactors have set records for
efficiency and speed in Its construction. The principal
' contractor, Eucon, has targeted Sept. 20 for the completion of
work here.
In 1982 the autumnal equinox, or the official beginning of
fall, doesn't come until Sept. 23. It is possible the dam
construction will be mainly completed about then or quite
soon after that date. Remember that the vernal equinox, the
beginning of spring, was March 20 so actually most of the
work has been done in the remarkably short period of around
six months. Of course the finishing touches will come later,
such as the landscaping of a lakeside park, the building of a
boot ramp and probably the building of a baseball diamond.
; For some time now and continuing this month Civil
Engineer Leif Erickson has been conducting Information
tours for viewers of the project. He tells how pleased he is to
be able to watch as it approaches completion because he was
in on the designing of the project many moons ago. He says
"It Isn't too often that a design engineer is able to be present
during construction and be able to watch the completion of
the dt-Kign he took a part In creating."
This year the entire south county community will really
feel a great change when the persons working on the dam
move away, many taking their families and even their
movable homes with them. Again there will be more homes
for rent and for sale here. Of course the dam project forced
several families to move to different locations.
The recreational-vehicle park that the John Skows built
just in time to give places for the temporary homes of some
of the workers may not be as well used after their departure.
Lexington may see some workers moving away. Restau
rants, taverns, motels, the laundromat and generally all
businesses will finally realize (if they haven't already) how
much this construction period has meant to them. The people
Involved with the dam have meant much to the whole
community, too. We have grown and have learned from our
exposure to these people who came from many different
places, bringing their differing and sometimes unusual
backgrounds and a variety of Interesting experiences.
We hope that as they leave here, they will have some good
memories of their months among us. The,y have worked so
hard and so fast that most of them have not been able to
participate in many community activities. We wish some of
them would linger and really let us get acquainted with them.
However, they will all be able to say "Yes, I know Heppner,
Oregon. I worked there in 1982." We hope they may add "It's
a pretty nice little town full of good, friendly families."
Sherers win lone Yard

When traveling the lone
Arlington road during any
time of the year one can find a
spot of color just four miles
down the road from lone. This
is the location of the home of
Beulah and Harold Sherer
which was selected as the
Yard of the Month for Sep
tember by the lone Garden
Club, i
At this time of year petu
nias, roses and geraniums
make a colorful display
among Immaculately groom
ed evergreen shrubbery. Soon
the chrysanthemums and
Michaelmas daisies will pro
vide a beautiful sight for
passersby. "Doc," as Mr.
Sherer was known when he
was Morrow County road
superintendent, is finding
retirement busy on his farm ;
working with his cattle and
helping Beulah keep their
house and yard in apple pie
order.
Since the beginning of the
Yard of the Month project last
year, members of the garden
club have noted a renewed
interest in the appearance of
yards and gardens in the area.
In fact, it has been very hard
to select the "best" garden for
each month, said a club
spokesperson.

novel War and Peace by hand seven timet.
