Kemp beat Sheirbon The US Forest Service has chosen the Royce Fulleton building in downtown Heppner for the site of its new office building. The site was chosen after the Forest Service received eight dif ferent proposals at four diffent loca tions for the new structure. The Forest Service is being forc ed to move from its present location on the hill near Heppner high school after the city planning commission denied requests for enlargement. Fulleton’s building will be tom down, and the new 10,000 sq ft of fice building will have wood siding, and is expected to be ready for oc cupancy by the end of this year. Forest Service officials were un sure when construction would begin, but they did say the building will be one story and the entrance way will be at the south end. Ruby S hearer, daughter of Fulleton, will handle construction of the building and have the Forest Ser vice there on a five year lease, with five year renewal up to 20 years. The office space will accom modate the 45 permanent and some seasonal workers the Forest Service currently employs here.

The ex tra 100 votes for Kemp was enough to put her ahead of challenger Sheirbon.
