Buckner Fump Service of
Redmond struck water at 848
ft. last Thursday at a proposed
new city well site, according
to Marshall Lovgren, city
administrator. The well site is
adjacent to the new reservoir
just off the new Willow Creek
Road.
Before water from the well
can be used, it must be tested,
and pumping must be tested to
assure that the water level
will drop to no less than 700 ft.

Cindy Schmidt
Cole's House of Fashion and
Posy Patch has a new name
and a new owner. Cindy
Schmidt of Heppner pur
chased the store from Carolyn
Cole March 1 . The store's new
name is "Country Rose."
Schmidt has lived in Hep
pner for nearly 10 years and
had worked for Cole for two
and one-half years. She says
she plans no real changes but
wants to add a cash and carry
bouquet service. She also
wants to expand the line of
larger ladies' sizes of clothing
and plans to build up the
children's department.
The store will also continue
to offer coffee and candy,
plants, florist's services,
linens, accessories and deco
rator items as well as clo
thing. An open house is being
planned; the date will be
announced later.
while pumping a minimum of
250 gallons per minute, Lov
gren explained. The testing,
for which Buckner is respon
sible, should begin soon, he
added.
The new well site was
chosen because the city's
other four wells are located on
Willow Creek, and in case of
an emergency in that area, the
new well could still provide
water for the city, Lovgren
said.

March 10, be part of the fun,
and put your preacher to
work," he added.

Watch for St.
Patrick's Day
Contest in the
G-T next week
By DELPHA JONES
Pat Wright has won the
Lexington Garden Club's con
test to name the recently
created park in that town. The
new name of the park is
"Friendship Park," and Mrs.
Wright received a gift certifi
cate redeemable at Del's
Plants Plus for her effort. A
slogan to be used with the
name, "Pride of the Lexington
Garden Bugs," was submitted
by Carol Baker. She will also
receive a gift certificate.
The contest, which was open
to Lexington residents, ran for
several weeks. A committee of
T.E. Messenger, Sr., Ed
Baker, Lois Hunt and Joyce
Buchanan was appointed to
select the winning name.
The park has been built by
the efforts of the newly orga
nized garden club with much
planing and expense.
Trees were planted in the
park this week to further add
to the beauty of the area.
