TEN - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, June 3,1998 ; PUBLIC NOTICE REQUEST FOR COMMENTS HEPPNER RANGER DISTRICT BULL PRAIRIE IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS The Heppner Ranger District is conducting an environmental analysis on the proposed Bull Prairie Improvement Projects. These projects would be located within the Bull Prairie Recreation Facility, Grant County, Oregon, at T.07S, R.26E., Section 7, W.M. surveyed. The 134 acre facility includes a campground, day use area, man-made 28 acre lake, and trail. The District proposes 2 major improvements and a variety of smaller projects within the campi- ground, picnic area, and trail. One major improvement would in volve dredging the lake to deeper than 3 feet around the 4 existing fishing docks (to alleviate inter ference from aquatic vegetation) and improving dock stability. The second would be removal o f un healthy trees throughout the en tire area and grand fir and Dou glas-fir within ponderosa pine sites using a team of horses to minimize soil disturbance. This would result in 500 ccf of timber, while unm erchantable trees would provide firewood for the campground. If approved, these projects would be implemented over a five year period as money becomes available. Please contact Lori Seitz at the address below for a full project description and maps. Com m ents regarding this project must be received by July 6, 1998. W ritten com m ents should be addressed to Delanne Ferguson, District Ranger, P.O. Box 7, Heppner, OR 97836.

New and renewing members help us to keep marketing our community, answering hundreds of phone calls, sending out brochures and relocate packets, chainng the parades, attending meetings, networking, putting on events and trying to "grow Heppner." Welcome Sweeney Mortuary and Campbell Financial Group. Last week the topic was commerce and diversity. Diversity includes visitors, and with summer upon us, we are about to have many ... BMW Motorcycles, Hitchhikers Northwest (20-plus RVers registered at Willow Lake RV Park) and many families who have requested visitor packets. There will be people coming for lone's big 4th of July celebration, the Volkswalk convention in Pendleton and, of course, fair and rodeo. Every visitor gives Heppner the opportunity to show off our community, to invite them to start a business, to encourage them to return and bring friends to other events and activities. "Renew, recreate, relocate, retire in Heppner." We certainly aren't a convention center but we can play off area conventions by offering side tours, good food and company. We can bring boards and committees here for a day-long session. Accommodations are growing with more bed and breakfast opportunities and facilities for dining. "One county, many communities working together hand in hand." You'll be hearing more about this theme as the Morrow County Fair and Oregon Trail Pro-Rodeo draws near. The theme lends itself to creative floats and booths. It's not too early to plan ahead. Congratulations to our graduates. The Chamber Board of Directors has appreciated the contributions by Josie Proctor during the year as she served as the student representative to the monthly meetings. Jill Barber will continue as senior representative, accompanied by Abby Kahl. We're proud of our students. Thought for the week: "What you value is what you think about; what you think about is what you become." V. COPIES m EACH HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES Obituaries Carl P. Linn Carl P.
