Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, Apnl 25, 2001 - THREE Chéri Lovgren opens Cheri’s Hair Care By Merlyn Robinson Cheri Lovgren with customer Pennie Miller New Heppner logo developed The City o f Heppner is now sporting a new, updated city logo. The new logo includes rolling hills, a four-leaf clover to indicate Heppner's strong Irish heritage and the phrase, "Gateway to the Blues" to indicate Heppner's connection to the Blue M ountains. The logo is available for anyone to use and may be dow nloaded from the Internet at w w w .heppner.net/logo. The logo, which was designed by the R/H/A/S consulting firm, was created as part o f a grant through the . Oregon Downtown Development Association. The firm worked closely with a local com m ittee. C ities o f less than 5,000 people were invited to apply for the grant, which also focused on econom ically depressed areas. The grant assisted the selected com m unities in identifying their strengths and •: XZZ 13 13 3 2 * SX * 1 3 weaknesses, creating a marketing plan and m aterials to help market the com m unity. Besides developing a logo, the grant included funds for the design o f brochures, posters, letterhead, television slides, information folders, Burma Shave-like signs advertising the town, ad mock- ups and a w elcom e sign. According to Heppner City M anager Jerry Breazeale, the project had a value o f $15-20 thousand, but, he added, "Just getting the logo costs around $40,000, so it's a really good deal." Breazeale is scheduled to make a presentation about the project to the Downtown D evelopm ent A ssociation conference in Ashland this week. The city has the com pleted marketing plan and materials and will start the marketing campaign following the conference, said Breazeale. 1 3 (KE3 31 3Z ZZI A new business in town is Then's Hair Care, located in the newly renovated portion o f the building next to the R&W Drive-In on Heppner's Mam Street. A grand opening, April 16, heralded the opening o f this Heppner business for former Heppner beauty operator C hen Lovgren, who once again is offering a full line o f hair care services. Cheri and her husband, Frank "Red" Lovgren, recently moved back to Heppner after seven years in Alaska. Although Chen is a St. Paul native, she calls Eastern Oregon home and she said she is "thrilled to be back home." Previous to their stay in Alaska, for 10 years Cheri was a beauty operator in Heppner. so she says she is looking forward to m eeting both new and old custom ers. For several years, the Lovgrens had frequently looked for a house to buy in Heppner. By sheer luck, she says, the opportunity to buy a house and for Frank to relocate for work at the co-generation plant at the former Kinzua mill site "all came suddenly," she says. While Frank enjoys hunting and fishing with friends and relatives, C hen says she has little time for hobbies. When not busy at her shop, she does cross-stitch embroidery in her spare moments as they settle into their new home on Cemetery Hill.

Yes for Kids Committee was to meet April 11 with Jerry Rietmann and any interested parties at the elem entary school at 7 p.m. The superintendent and others met with a group superintendents from other districts in Salem to get additional funding for small schools. According to information provided, it takes m ore funds to operate a smaller school. The cost per student is higher because there are fewer kids needing the same instruction and supplies as a classroom with a larger num ber o f students. Also good news is that the legislature is now com m itted to looking at restructuring the funding formulas in the state, especially with regard to small schools. Parent-teacher conference scheduling. Teachers present preferred teaching all day on Thursday and then staying and doing conferences on Thursday evening until 8 p.m. and continuing with conferences half a day on Friday.
