The new portion of the fire hall would house four ad ditional bays, two to the rear and two to the front and would also have two exit doors, office space and two restrooms with showers. Burkenbine said that the showers are required by law. Upon com pletion, the facility would have six bays. Council member Dave Allstott said that it may be possible to put a metal facade on the two bays that will remain to tie them into the newly constructed portion of the building. Council members agreed to have Burkenbine and city administrator Gary Marks proceed with specifications for the building. In June voters approved a $390,000 capital bond levy, which includes building and remodeling of the fire hall, a new fire engine and police and city vehicles and equipment. Heppner city attorney Bill Kuhn said that he expects that the city bonds will be sold by November and then the bidding process may begin. tion Agency grant of $241,000 Duo-Tang REPORT COVER • with prongs only BTS Special ” I 1 Genuine A Color Talk No. 2 PEECHEE PORTFOLIO WOOD PENCIL BTS Special BTS Special 1 r National f 836x11 insertable 5-tab INDEX DIVIDERS 3/ for 3-ring binder Crayola Your Choice CRAYONS FABER CASTELL FASHION RITES Different Brilliant Colors NON TOXIC BTS 49e 8 color box $|I9 24 color box pack of 3 wood pencils pack of 3 ball point pens pack of 3 vinyl erasers BTS Special Dennison GLUE STIC a/spo • IT tuo BTS Special BTS Special 3-Ring PRESSBOARD & SLICKER BINDER Mead 3-Ring W or 1" your choice BTS * Special 89e ea« TYPING PAPER Dennison BTS Special HI-LITERS BTS Special < •7e pk.

In younger days I held a record for running, without covering any distance. And only with persistance did this drylander accomplish the best of belly flops from a homemade diving board into a murky stockpond. While watching the Olympic competition it was flustrating to be bombarded with repetitious commercials-a necessity, I guess. It did give time to sneak in other activities instead of flexing one’s fingers. A quick pass with a broom, gathering up the remains of TV snacks or tossing clothes in a washer didn’t take up too much time. And without missing any of the action, I found I didn't need eyes to snap fresh beans from the garden. Much more aggravating was the time that the network spent on theatrics and hype. Sometimes only the top contenders got coverage, but more often featured were those that registered the most pain. For more indepth coverage one was supposed to buy each daily unedited coverage to help offset the network expense. But was it really necessary to delve into some of the athletes’ per sonal tragedies or repeatedly replay costly errors? It seems the media’s human interest angle has no limits anymore. The spectacular closing ceremony of the Olympics must have cost thousands of dollars. I wondered if athletes from struggling under privileged countries gave thought to a better use of that money for people coping with everyday existence. The next Olympics, in four years, in the United States will be an all out effort to upstage the recent one in Spain-the way of worldly affairs it seems. Perhaps that’s why I appreciate the homespun efforts that result in our annual county fair and rodeo. To be successful it takes alot of creative, everyday people. And the exhibits show off the many talents of diverse, talented exhibitors. From cookies to flowers, crafts and animals alot of hard work goes into these efforts. “Hats Off' to our citizens in Morrow County. Whatever you grow, sew, create or raise, bring it to the fair. And then you can sit back and watch some of the best PRC A athletes in action-not unlike the Olympic contenders. 4oz.
