fighters, EMTs and Morrow
County Sheriffs deputies staged
an accident at the school,
complete from the first report of
the accident, to the response
from
medical
and
police
personnel, to the extrication of
the "victims" from the vehicle
and transport to the hospital and
finally to the removal of the
"body" by Pat Sweeney of
Sweeney Mortuary.
The presentation was
designed to give students a
sobering
look
at
the
consequences
of
drinking,
speeding or simple inattention
while driving a motor vehicle.
Several lone students
were made up to look like
accident victims. The "deceased"
victim was a mannequin.
Morrow County Sheriffs
Deputy Randy Rayburn talked to
the
students
after
the
presentation, answered their
questions and reminded them
that in a real situation such as
they witnessed, he and a chaplain
would then go to the victim's
home to tell his parents that he
had died.

come get you," pleaded Heppner

Chamber Chatter
By Claudia Hughes
Chamber Executive Director
Last week was a great week with
only one regret; that I didn't sneak
into the Heppner High School
program honoring our veterans. It
sounded so wonderful after hearing
from some of the 108 veterans and
wives who were in attendance.
Some of the comments were: "All
veterans from all wars were
recognized." "The band did an
outstanding job." "There was hardly
a dry eye in the gym." "The students
were awesome in their silent
attentiveness." "The music was
wonderful." "It was such an honor
to be there." "We were treated to
a wonderful lunch." and the
comments went on. Maybe it will
be possible to share the tape with
the entire community.
What a great undertaking by our
high school students and staff who
planned the day to honor our
veterans. They are to be commended.
We don't give our youth enough
credit. They are our future and our
hope. The Chamber of Commerce
and the community is very proud
o f them and of our veterans. We
appreciate you, one and all.
The September 11 tragedy
continues to bring us to our senses
and help us to recognize the good
in the world. As Thanksgiving week
approaches, I'd like to share the
following portion of an e-mail I
received:
"I Wish You Enough..."
"I wish you enough sun to keep
your attitude bright. I wish you
enough rain to appreciate the sun
more. I wish you enough happiness
to keep your spirit alive. I wish you
enough pain so that the smallest joys
in life appear much bigger. I wish
you enough gain to satisfy your
wanting. I wish you enough loss to
appreciate all that you possess. I wish
you enough hello's to get you through
the final "goodbye." And I wish you
love and a grateful thanksgiving,
which extends beyond the holiday,
and beyond the goodbyes."

Assisted living construction
to resume
By Doris Brosnan
Division and the Building Division.
Plans were previously submitted
last summer and were returned from
the state two-and-a-hal f months later,
with a request tor two changes before
the plans could be approved. The
board sent the plans back to the
construction firm's architect, who
had them for another two months
before they were resubmitted - last
week - to the three state bureaus.
From the contact person with the
state, the board has received
assurance that the plans will not
again be delayed for two months
but will receive prompt attention.
Though the board is confident
of state approval of the project plans,
it has chosen not to restart
construction until the final plans have
actually been approved. It does not
want to risk the slightest chance of
The board o f directors o f the
Willow Creek Valley Assisted Living
Facility recognizes the importance
o f keeping the public informed of
the status of its project. A news
release has not appeared for over
a month because not all construction
details have been determined, but
recurring questions from interested
and concerned citizens prompts the
board to provide another update:
Construction of the 16-apartment
"Willow Creek Terrace" assisted
living facility has been interrupted
but will resume. Financing for the
construction is secure and includes
donations, a low-interest loan from
the U.S. Department of Agriculture,
and smaller loans from the Bank
o f Eastern Oregon, Klamath First,
and
Morrow
Development
Corporation.
Construction work was halted
when a test of water pressure at the
site indicated lack of enough pressure
to properly operate ceiling, fire-
system sprinklers. Correction of such
a problem would have included an
additional expensive specialized
pressure pump, a generator and a
separate heated building, adding a
substantial cost to construction.
Another, later test, one performed
by the state building inspector,
revealed that, in fact, water pressure
is indeed adequate for all o f the
facility's needs, and an added
pressure pump will not be required.
When construction was stopped,
the "footprint" of the building had
been established. The footings have
been poured and the stem wall
foundation is in place. Water, sewer,
electric and TV lines have been
placed. O'Brien Construction of
Hermiston is the general contractor
for the $800,000-plus project, and
by the time work was interrupted,
just over $183,000 had been paid
to O'Brien, Shobe Enterprises and
the project consultant, James Rippee.
The board o f directors, though
eager to continue construction, will
authorize a "restart" only after the
architect's modified plans for the
facility return from the state with
total approval from the Health
Division, the Senior and Disabled
having to stop again until the
building is complete, or of having
to place another change-order, which
would add to the cost of construction.
Once construction resumes,
completion is expected to take six
or seven months. Construction will
resume with the pouring of the floor,
and because the facility will have
a floor-heating system, work on that
is weather dependent. Materials used
for the system cannot be installed
in 20-degree or colder temperatures.
Both the construction company
and the board of directors are eager
to complete Willow Creek Terrace.
They and the State of Oregon and
the USDA realize, however, that
the previous delays have resulted
in a situation in which the weather
will have the final say. The members
of the board will be watching the
weather reports closely, hoping for
a window o f opportunity.
Anyone with questions about the
project is invited to contact any of
the following board members:
Suzanne Jepsen, 676-9850, Gail
Hughes. 676-9782, Rene Devin, 676-
