The Oregon Department of
Transportation (ODOT) has an
Adopt-a-Highway
program
which can be a way to maintain
the good appearance of our
community entries.
Details of the Adopt-a-
Highway program may be
obtained from our local ODOT
maintenance foreman, Jim King,
676-5545, or from the District
12 coordinator for the program,
George Ruby, 276-2141.
I encourage community
organizations or businesses to
consider becoming involved in
the Adopt-a-Highway program
and help Heppner realize the full
benefit
of
the
many
improvements
we
have
accomplished.
(s) JohruEdmundson
Heppner
To the Editor:
The Heppner community has
accomplished a lot in the last
few years in regard to
improvements for our town.
We can point with pride to the
Mam Street modernization, the
new aquatic center, the rebuilt
rodeo grounds, the Heppner
Flood Memorial mini-park, the
new ball fields and playgrounds,
new school facilities and many
other projects that make
Heppner a great place to live.
Another important part of the
liveability/quality
of
life
package is doing a good job with
keeping up the appearance of
what we have worked so hard to
accomplish.
We all need to take a senous
look at the entries to town and
ask ourselves if we are doing as
much as we can and should with
regard to control of littering and

The Home Loan Bank of
Seattle awarded a $10,000 grant
to the Bank of Eastern Oregon to
help fund predevelopment costs
for a proposed new assisted
living facility for the elderly in
the Willow Creek Valley,
announced James R. Faulstich,
president and chief executive
officer of the Federal Home
Loan Bank of Seattle.
The Federal Home Bank of
Seattle's
Challenge
Fund
provides grants to financial
institutions
for
the
predevelopment expenses of
affordable housing, such as
feasibility studies, architectural
and engineering fees or grant-
writing expenses. Grants are
made to the lender and passed on
the housing developer. If the
housing is developed, grants are
repaid; grants are forgiven if the
proposal does not prove feasible.
Bank of Eastern Oregon will
provide the grant funds to the
Willow Creek Valley Assisted
Living Corporation (WCVALC)
which plans to build an assisted
living facility to meet the needs
of the elderly in the Willow
Creek Valley, the Heppner, lone
and
Lexington
areas.
Approximately 10 of the 20
residents will earn less than 50
percent of the Morrow County
median income ($13,500 per
year for an individual).
The Challenge Fund grant will
be used to pay for a feasibility
study to assess the number of
apartments needed to meet the
demand. It will also be used to
hire a consultant to complete
funding applications and an
architect to provide site plans
and drawings required by the
funding sources.
Challenge Fund grants are
combined with financial or m-
kind contributions from the
lender. If the project is
financially feasible, the Bank of
Eastern Oregon will provide
construction and permanent
financing with reduced loan fees
valued at $5,000 and will donate
accounting
services
to
WCVALC.
Since 1992, the Seattle Bank's
Challenge Fund has supported
97 developments benefitting
3,013 families.

Phase II construction involves in
creasing existing work space.
Knerr plans to start the project
by mid-September. The project
will include construction of an
emergency operations room and
will provide more storage room
for emergency supplies and equip

will allow Morrow County Emer

“The advantage o f an ex
panded EOC will be that when
individuals report for an exercise
or real emergency, they will be
working together in the same
room,” said Dan Knoll, Morrow
County public information officer.
“This will increase the flow and
accuracy of information from one
workstation to another and elimi

initial minutes of an emergency.
The cost of the project is ap
