The lone Fire Department Board o f Directors received notification from the Insurance Service Offices commercial risk services that the classification will be changed from a class 7 to a protection class 5/9. A class 8 will apply to dwelling properties located within five road miles of the fire station and over 1000 feet from a fire hydrant. The evaluation was completed by an inspector last November. Dramatic improvement in fire response capabilities contributed to the new ratings. Boor lists several reasons for the superior rating. “ It has been the culmination of outstanding support by the people of lone and the rural patrons,” Boor said. “ The total support for purchas ing apparatus, equipment and fire station, along with the dedication of those people who volunteer their time to train and respond has made this happen,” he said. “ These individuals work hard in becoming a team. They train hard to become better and most importantly, they put their lives on the line voluntarily to help protect their friends, neighbors, and a lot of times, relatives' pro perty as well as their lives,” Boor added. “ They don’t respond to a fire for the money.” The Insurance Services Office says that the new classification may have a favorable effect on property insurance premiums for many insured within the district. The change in premium depends on the type of building construc tion occupancy and other proper ty insurance premium calcula tions. The change may also reduce property insurance prem ium calculations for sprinklered properties. The change applies only for in surance companies using the In surance Service Offices proper ty insurance premium calcula tions. However, numerous in surance companies use other than ISO property insurance so that the effect of the change in class may be different for their policy holders. The city classification applies to properties with a needed fire flow of 3500 gallons per minute or less. The private public pro tection at properties with larger flows is individually evaluated and may vary from the city classification. “ To know for sure whether this improved rating will reduce your rates a person should con tact his or her insurance agent,” advises Nancy Brownfield, an in surance agent for Wheatland In surance in lone. Some companies take special consideration for those outside the city limits upon adequate response time and water availability,” Brownfield noted. “ The main thing is we have im proved, our fire response is bet ter and that means a better chance to save property as well as lives. I believe the board and the fire department are to be commend ed for their hard work and dedication for making our com munity better and safer,” she concluded. Heppner TV holds annual meeting WE WILL BE CLOSED JULY 5 FOR THE 4th OF JULY WEEKEND THANK YOU ! WE WILL BE CLOSED Monday, July 5th Happy 4th of July PETTYJOHN’S f ,™ » 424 Lynden Way, Heppner m , 676-9157 or 676-5001 The annual meeting of Hepp ner TV, Inc. was held June 15 at St. Patrick’s Senior Center. The purpose of the meeting was to review the activities and financial status of the corporation for the year, «id .«last, a-ra^mber.of. the board of directors. Casey Beard, coordinator of the Emergency Management System, and Andy Lennox, also involved in emergency services for Morrow and Umatilla Coun ties, explained the Emergency Broadcast Network and requested that the board consider allowing the Network to tie into Heppner TV for communication with residents during national, state, or local emergencies. “ The board readily supported this request, with the understanding that all equipment would be funded by the Emergency Management System and that it would be com patible with Heppner TV’s equip ment,” said a Heppner TV news release. The board explained how the Cable Act and FCC rules inter preting the Act, may affect Hepp ner TV. Because all of Morrow County has been placed in the Yakim a/Tri-Cities “ area of dominant influence” , there is strong indication that Heppner TV will again have to carry the network channels from the Tri- Cities. “ The Cable Act is a com plicated new law that may prove to be both inconvenient and ex pensive for small cable com panies to implement,” the release said. As soon as the “ mustcarry” issues are resolved, local subscribers will be notified con cerning changes in the position of channels on the cable. The auditor indicated that the financial status of Heppner TV improved over the past year. The board approved purchase of the Sears building to provide for space for all aspects of current operations and future technical moves. The company had rented two locations for office and equipment storge since its incep tion. The board also is commit ted to providing a contingency fund for replacing the current cable when it begins to break down. It is currently beyond the originally projected years of service. Linda Shaw was elected presi dent of the board of directors for the coming year and Dan Oglesbee will serve as vice presi dent. Dean Gilman was re-elected to a new five-year term. Other board m em bers are Riley Munkers and Greg Sweek. At an earlier meeting the board changed the regular meeting date. The board will meet on the third Tuesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. in the Heppner TV office. The next regular meeting will be July 20.
