Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, January 4, 1995 - FIVE B M C C lists fall Bridge completed on Court Street honor students B y M a ry A n n M u n k e rs P a t S w e e n e y d r iv e s a c ro s s n e w ly c o m p le te d C o u rt S t . b rid g e Pat Sweeney, nearby resi dent, was the first to drive across newly completed south Court St. Bridge recently. Work has been completed on the south Court Street Bridge in Heppner. The project was started around Oct. 1 and was completed and open for traffic Wed., Dec. 28. The new concrete bridge replaced a 1948 wooden struc ture which had begun to deteriorate. The bridge, com plete with railing and a new en try angle on to Court Street, was a state project and cost around $250,000. The city's portion of the project was $25,000, which was funded through a grant. Heppner city manager Gary Marks says that state workers will return to seed the dirt around the bank by the bridge. He says that the city is also try ing to get the state to put up screening around the opening of the culvert. "The city is con cerned about the opening to the culvert," said Marks. "They think it represents a hazard to children." Marks says the city fears that children may be tempted to walk along the edge and could fall into the creek and be injured. A request by Linda Dutcher for a guardrail behind her house was rejected by the state following a visit by a state safe ty inspector. The bridge comes out on Court St. directly facing the Dutchers' back yard and the Dutchers feared that vehicles could crash into their yard.

It's a proven fact that we remember 90 percent of what we say as we do, says a press release from the Morrow County Extension office. The easiest way to learn how to do a presentation is to attend "Speakeasy" field day. This workshop is filled with ac tivities that will help a person overcome their fear of speaking in public. "W e'll play games, watch sample presentations, and use fun kits to practice creating presentations," said a spokesperson. 'Speakeasy" will be held Fri day, January 27 at Riverside High School, Boardman. The field day is scheduled from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Participants should bring a sack lunch because they will be working during the lunch hour. Car pooling with friends would add to the fun, continued the spokesperson. An advanced workshop, Speakeasy II, for graduates of past Speakeasy field days and for members who have given presentations at fair or in club meetings will be held in Hepp ner, February 10.
