It's a busy week ahead with
plans underway for the annual
sidewalk sale, summer Chamber
tour, and "Celebrate Heppner".
Interested in a tour to learn
more about the Umatilla
Chemical Disposal Facility and
Raytheon
Demilitarization
Company?
The Heppner
Chamber's annual tour is
scheduled for Tuesday, July 28.
Travel and tour time will take
approximately four hours. The

given
preference
but
all
interested persons are welcome if

Some good sports have agreed
to be candidates for the "Kiss A

During the day the public will
have the opportunity to purchase
a vote for the person they most
want to see kiss the pig on the
shamrock that evening. Proceeds
will go toward the celebration
expense. Sponsors are invited to
contribute to the entertainment.
Music, contests, recognition,
cheers, food and fun are all on
the agenda.
Enjoy the sidewalk sale, then
bring your lawn chairs and meet
at the shamrock for a rollicking
evening sponsored by the City
and Chamber.
Thought for the week: "Each
day is an opportunity to clear our
vision. Do not clutter up today
with the leavings of other days."
The U.S. Dept, of Trans
portation lists its planned
construction activities on Willow
Creek Road for the week of
Monday, July 20, and plans for
dust control on the Shaw Creek
Road on July 27-28.
Tidewater will be continuing
with the cut slope excavation and
placing rock embankment with
materials from the cut slope,
working between the beginning
of the project and Smith Ditch.
The surveyors are on the project,
placing stakes for cuts and fills,
rock embankment areas and for
the various culverts located along
the project. They received the
culverts for the unnamed
tributary and Smith Ditch on
Monday and Tuesday and
planned to place them as they
receive them. They will continue
building rock embankments and
placing culverts as they come to
them. There may be some minor
blasting on the cut slope near the
middle of the project because of
large rock, but it will not affect
the road conditions.
Tidewater plans to blade and
water the Shaw Creek Road (the
detour route) starting on
Monday, July 27. On Tuesday,
July 28, they plan to put down a
dust palliative (lignon sulfonate)
to control the dust for most of the
construction season. As the
lignon is being placed and until it
has absorbed into the road
surface, the public will want to
observe the speed limit to avoid
getting the mixture on their
vehicles. There will be a pilot car
with the distributor as it is
placing the lignon on the road.
Please observe the construction
signs. The contractors appreciate
your cooperation.
Willow Creek Road (Coal
Mine Grade) is closed to through
traffic from Cutsforth Park to the
intersection of Forest Service
roads 5320 and 53. This
intersection will remain open, to
the logging contractor only, for
the removal of timber sale
material. The FS 21 Road,
Penland Lake Road, intersection
will
remain
open
until
construction activities restrict
traffic with flaggers in the middle
of July.
Willow Creek Road remains
open, to local traffic only, to
Cutsforth Fark. The park will
remain open for the construction
season.
Please observe the warning
signs for the detour route and
barricades at both ends of the
construction zone. Please have a
safe summer and remember that
the barricaded road closures are
for the traveling public's safety.
