known the importance of
community support and have
increasingly appreciated that

in the Willow' Creek Valley

the board to more than $84,000
in their efforts to raise at least
$90,000 required by the lending

Phone scam targets
area
A telephone scam is targeting
people in the Heppner area.
According to several local
people who have received the
scam phone calls, the caller says
that he represents the local phone
company and asks for bank
checking or savings account
numbers or credit card numbers.
The callers do not represent
the phone company.
Anyone receiving such a call
should never give out account
numbers, but instead should
notify police.
