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

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.

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.

The OSSOM conference held
in Hood River went very well. Many
from the lone club members
attended Speakers included a person
who was blinded by a drunken dnver
and a speaker on self-esteem.
The Oregon OSSOM state
director commented that the letters
that the students write have a very
big impact on the decisions o f our
legislators.
Academic pins will be presented
for those students who received a
3.8 gpa or above with 5 or more
classes. Those students who did not
receive their pin for last spring will
be identified and awarded their pins.
Principal Mike Stuart distributed
a bond project summary and
explained some of the details. There
was discussion regarding the new
elem entary school building and
gymnasium proposed. The architects
will be deciding specifics with input
from com m unity and advisory
com m ittee and others after the
passing o f the bond.
Jim Swanson explained how
the project will save money on
m aintenance expenses. He said it
is definitely a 'win win' situation.
V olunteers will be setting up a
phone bank to encourage voter
participation. Anyone who has
questions about the details o f the
bond should call and ask for
explanations.
Also discussed was an update
on the NW RL m ath grant. The
efforts were spearheaded by the
north end schools. Teacher Barb
Collin will work with the primary
folks on activities for math
improvement.
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.
Stuart will discuss our proposal to
the superintendent.

came in 2nd place, Tiana Camanllo
came in 5th place, Shannon Clay

2nd place, Justin Archer 10th place.

Mr. Schaber and Mr. Holland have
volunteered to assist with track team.
They attended a workshop in Reno
a programcalled "BIGGER.
FASTER. STRONGER" which
begins with teaching better weight
lifting practices. They are
volunteering two nights a week to
work with the middle school
students on weight training. Some
high school students who can't fit
weight training into their schedule
havealso been coming in and helping
and making very good encouraging
remarks to the younger students.
The "BIGGER, FASTER,
STRONGER" program is much
broader than merely lifting weights.

a better citizen" and "how to be a
better person." The program
improves the whole person.
