The Heppner Elementary School
Site Council met for the first time
on September 7.
According to a council publicist
Sharon Morris, the focus of the
Site Council is improvement of
instruction, student outcomes, and
staff development.
The membership of the Site
Council consists of an equal
amount of teachers and parents, a
representative from the classified
staff, and the principal, said
Morris. A school board member is
optional, she said, as is a member
of the advisory board.
The Site Council will put
together an action plan to aid in
the accomplishment of the school
district's goals for student and
school improvement, Morris.
The principal evaluates teacher
requests for in-service funds
according to goals and makes
recommendations to the council
for approval or disapproval.
Officers for the 1999-200 school
year were elected as follows:
chairperson, Janet Allen; vice
chair, Cindi Doherty; secretary,
Jean Strange; publicist, Sharon
Morris.
Items to be addressed by the Site
Council need to be on the agenda,
said Morris. People wishing to put

Willow
Creek
Road (Coal Mine
Grade) now open
Notice to the citizens who
utilize and enjoy the Willow
Creek (Coal Mine Grade) area,
the Willow Creek Road (Coal
Mine Grade) is now open to all
traffic.
The U.S.
Dept, of
Transportation lists its planned
construction activities on Willow
Creek Road for the week of
Monday, Sept. 27:
Tidewater will have a small
crew with flaggers working the
week of Sept. 27 to water, grade
and roll the Shaw Creek Grade to
finish the road for acceptance with
the client agencies.
Tidewater will have a crew
working the second week of
October to place two inches of
asphalt on the existing FS 53 road
from the cattle guard at the upper
end of Coal Mine Grade to the 20
mph corner. They will have
flaggers and there could be up to
30 minute delays while they are
doing the pavement overlay on
this section of the road.
The paving that is being done
towards Ukiah is being done by
Morrell Paving on a contract with
the Umatilla National Forest
office in Pendleton.
Tidewater has to come back and
seed the cut and fill slopes during
the first 15 days of October, so at
that time there will or could be
some traffic delays controlled
with flaggers. The road will
remain open for all traffic during
this time. Please observe the
flaggers and remember that they
are doing their job to protect the
traveling public and the workers
on the job site.
Cutsforth Park is open through
the normal camping season. Shaw
Creek Road is and will remain
open to all traffic.
Federal Highways appreciates
the citizens and traveling public
that utilize the Willow Creek
Road
for
their
patience,
consideration and cooperation
during the construction of the road
and appreciates input from the
public.

project engineer, at (541) 676-
