hundred and fifty people on
the first Saturday in June
each year. This was the
forty-second Auction and
Barbeque for the people of

that welcomes hundreds to
the little town of lone. Some
people who have grown up,
gone to school here, or lived
there at one time realize this
is a wonderful time to spend
the day and see many of their
friends again. For some, it is
a yearly event. A group of
friends with motor homes
and travel trailers come from
Goldendale, WA each year.
They come the day before
the auction, set up their
campers on the grounds and
enjoy the goings-on for two
days. Theywatch as workers

Want to know where
and when you may
encounter orange cones and
work zones as you travel
around the state this
sum m er? The O regon
D epartm ent
of
T ran sp o rtatio n
is
distributing the Summ er
2004 Road Projects map so
motorists can plan ahead and
be prepared.
With 121 projects
listed on the map, this is one
of the busiest construction
seasons in recent history.
The increase is fueled in part
by *'
the
' OVegiJn
Transportation Investment
Act. The Oregon Legislature
passed a series of funding
packages that raise $2.915
billion for highw ay and
bridge construction work
over the next several years.
OTIA
funding
is
contributing to 17 projects
scheduled
for
this
construction season.
More road projects
also means y o u ’re more
likely to encounter a work
zone. When driving through
a w ork zone, please
remember to slow down, be
alert for changes to traffic
patterns, and be aware of
workers and equipment. In
2002, there were 305 traffic
crashes, five fatalities and
290 injuries related to traffic
in work zones.
The c o n stru ctio n
map is a helpful guide for
general information about
construction activity. For
current road cond itio n s,
in cluding c o n stru ctio n
activity, motorists can log on
to www.TripCheck.com or
call 511.
The Summer 2004

around the state, including
