The Barnyarders met on Fri
day, Feb. 16. They made pig
waterers for fair; these con

short business meeting in

to pay for the waterers. The
Barnyarders decided to work at

Chamber Chatter
By Claudia Hughes, Chamber Manager
All the "leprechauns" who
have put in long days and
nights preparing for Heppner's
annual Wee Bit O' Ireland are
in the process of bringing
19%'s celebration to closure.
For some, this involves coun
ting, numbering and bagging
250 ducks; writing thank yous;
paying bills; cleaning up cook
ing facilities; putting away auc
tion tables and chairs; arrang
ing for the Paddy Wagon dates
to be changed; returning props
and equipment used for the
Barbershop setting; taking
down flags, banners and perk
ing up and putting away the in
formation booth; ordering new
leprechaun shoes and evaluat
ing and planning for next year.
New faces and the ever-
faithful returning volunteers
made the celebration suc
cessful. The auction, parade,
entertainm ent, volkswalk,
social hour, coffee hour, meals,
etc. all take hours and hours of
preparation. A tally of the man
power behind the celebration
would be astounding. Before all
the fantastic committee chair
persons return to their hollows
to put on different hats, it
would be interesting to have an
estimate from each tallying the
approximate number of people
and hours required to ac
complish their task. A wrap-up
committee session will be held
within the next few weeks.
For all of you Heppnerites
and visitors who spent the
weekend in Heppner, it would
be of great value to the commit
tee if you would share sugges
tions for the 1997 event. Drop
them by the Chamber office
(P.O. Box 1232) or City Hall.
Your comments are the energy
to "box up the Irish" for yet
another year and don their next
community hat.
And as for different hats, it's
time for the Chamber of Com
merce Rose Sale. Delivery date
will be Wednesday, April 10.
One dozen roses will be $16, a
one dollar increase. If you
would like to order roses for so
meone special in your life,
please call the office, 676-5536,
prior to Friday, March 29, to
place your order. This is
Chamber's annual non-dues
project to enable the organiza
tion to continue working
toward helping business, com
munity and people thrive.
Business After Hours will be
hosted by the Heppner Post
Office at 6 p.m. Thursday,
March 21. See you there!

HEPPNER RANGER
DISTRICT
LONE STAR SALVAGE
ENVIRONMENTAL
ASSESSMENT
The Heppner Ranger District
intends to implement Alter
native 2 of the Lone Star Sal
vage Environmental Assess
ment, which would occur in
Morrow County, Oregon.
This alternative would har
vest 5.6 million board feet from
1,675 acres. Roadside hazard
tree removal would occur along
9 miles of haul routes. Four
miles of FS Road 2107 would be
reconstructed to improve drain
age and 14 miles of temporary
roads would be reopened or
constructed. All temporary
roads would be obliterated after
harvest is completed. This al
ternative would recover eco
nomic value from dead and
beetle-infested trees; improve
safety and accessibility, and
reduce cost of maintenance
along travel routes; and reduce
fuel levels and continuity to
help control wildfires when
they occur.
There is an identifiable sal
vage component (harvest of
dead trees would occur on 97%
of the acres). As such, the deci
sion for this project will be ex
empt from appeal.
If you would like a copy of
the Environmental Assessment
or have any questions, please
contact Betsy Kaiser at (503)
676-9187. Any written com
ments regarding this project
should be addressed to Del-
anne Ferguson, District Ran
