Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, November 7, 2007 - THREE Algae advisory lifted for Willow Creek Reservoir lone students get crash course in insurance and etiquette The algae adv isory issued in mid-August for Wil low Creek Reservoir has been lifted, the U.S. Army Corps o f Engineers announced today. Recent water sampling confirms reduced levels o f a species o f blue-green algae that can produce toxins harmful to humans and animals, with the exception o f the northwest comer of the lake, which continues to return high algal cell counts. State guidelines recommend waiting two weeks after algal cell counts fall below state-specified levels before lifting advisories related to algae blooms. The Oregon Department o f Human Serv ices ad vises people who recreate in Oregon reservoirs to always be alert tor signs o f algal blooms. People and their pets should avoid water contact if there are v isible clumps of algae in the water. For local information, contact The Dalles, John Day, Willow' Creek Project at (541 ) 506-7802. For health information, contact Deanna Conners at DHS, (971 ) 673- 0444. Additional information on blue-green algae can be found on the DHS Web site at http://oregon.gov/DHS/ph/ envtox/maadvisories.shtml. E rin H e id e m a n ’s personal finance and man agement class at lone Com munity School got a crash course in insurance and eti quette this past week thanks to classroom presenters Sta cie Miller, Deacon Heide- man and Sylvia Sandford. “It’s nice to know we have such a pool o f resources in our community willing to help,” said teacher, Erin Heideman. S ta c ie M iller, an agent for W heatland In surance, talked about her responsibilities as an agent and what students should be considering when purchas ing insurance. Mrs. Miller suggested a number o f op tions o f insurance ranging from the kind o f car you drive to renters insurance. “ I would highly recommend keeping your credit score high and maintain a good driv ing record,” she said. “ It does a lot for your insurance premiums.” As a senior adjus tor for Farmers Insurance, Deacon Heideman, talked about what happens when you submit a claim through your insurance company and the process it follows. He told stories o f claims he has been assigned from sewer back ups to fire losses and what happens to your pre miums once you do submit a claim. His biggest piece of advice was to continue your education and go to c o l lege. “Get some education past high school,” he said. “In order to competitive in today’s job world you have to make yourself marketable and one sure way of making sure that happens is to fur ther your education in some capacity.” “Another way to be marketable in the job place is to mind your manners,” said S ylvia S an d fo rd , a former Miss Rodeo Oregon and escrow officer. “ First impressions have an enor mous impact on your job op portunities and interviews.” Mrs. Sandford also talked about how' to research your options and how to have a direction chosen as you pursue further education. Her biggest piece o f adv ice was to make sure that you are prompt, resilient and are able to communicate well, especially with a potential employer. lone to observe Veteran’s Day with ceremony HHS parent teacher confer ences to be held The American Le gion, lone Post 95 will ob serve Veteran’s Day on No vember 12 in lone.
