editor's note: The following column will appear periodically with
information about Heppner's website (www.heppner.net). What's new,
what's different and what you can find there.
Quite a few new things have been added recently to the Heppner
Home Page web site. In the business section we have recently added
web pages for Gardner’s Men's Wear, Dennis Wall’s Custom Leather
Goods, as well as a real estate section with pictures, descriptions and
prices of homes and other property for sale in the Heppner area.
In a new section called pictures, Erik Patton contributed a nice
collection of photos taken around Heppner, so you can take a little
picture tour of Heppner.
The activities section has shown the biggest growth on the Heppner
web site, with new web pages added for the Willow Creek
Campground (you can make reservations nght on-line), a special two
page site on the cycling advantages of south Morrow County, web
pages for the 1999 Morrow County Fair (which has a schedule of
events for those who don't have access to a premium book) and the
Oregon Trail Pro Rodeo. The activities section also has web pages
for the two county parks, Anson Wright and Cutsforth parks. There
are 14 pictures of each campg/ound for a nice picture tour for web
surfers.
Under the organizations section of the Heppner Home Page there are
new web pages for the Heppner Economic Development Corp. and the
Heppner Chamber of Commerce. The HEDC page gives an overview
of the services and other economic activities in Heppner, and the
Chamber of Commerce page is titled, "Heppner Where rural is for
real".
As usual there are still links to the Health District web site, the Blue
Mountain Scenic Byway, The Heppner Gazette, Bank of Eastern
Oregon, MCGG, Dr. Rolen's Optometrist page, the City of Heppner
(where by the way you can peruse or search city council or planning
commission minutes of meetings) a link to the Morrow Co. home
page, the St. Patrick's Senior Center, the museum, and the Heppner
Lions Club. And don't forget you can also send a free digital postcard
from the Heppner Home Page. It's a regular e-mail with a picture
(choose from several) of the Heppner area attached.
If you have ever wondered about the world-wide reach of the
Internet consider what a recent examination of the Heppner web site
logs show. These were hits from the following countries: Germany
461; United Kingdom 137; Canada 125; Israel 122; Sweden 105;
France 96; Ireland 77; Australia 76; Japan 73; Austria 70; New
Zealand 42; Netherlands 39; Turkey 35; Denmark 34; Mexico 20
South Africa 18; and Italy, Finland and Singapore 10 each. What does
it all mean? Don't know, but it is kind of interesting.

Heppner city crewmember Randy Sample prepares for placement
of new valve on a city water main on Riverside street last Thursday.
The new valve (along with a second valve) will enable city crews to
shut down water to just part of the city. Previously for work to be
done or in the event of an emergency, water to the entire city would
have to be shut off, says city Manager Jerry Breazeale.
