Post Office goes modern
Gets new ball point pens
The Heppner Post Office really went modem
Tuesday.
After providing customers with old-style
scratchy dip pens for an untold number of years the
postal department this week supplies postmaster James
Driscoll with new, modem ball point pens.
Unlike the old pens, which no one in his right
mind would bother to steal even though they lay out
entirely unprotected on the desks, the new ball points
are chained to the wall and are clearly marked “Prop
erty of the US Post Office.”

priority for fuels reduction
projects to lessen the impact
of wildfire on lives, prop
erty, and the landscape.
The focus of this
meeting will be to discuss
topics including defensible
space strategies, evacuation
routes, broader landscape
level treatment design, and
other resource interests.
Attendants will be asked
to give their opinions and
specific treatment sugges
tions regarding these top
ics so we can proceed with
developing the proposed
action over the next couple
of months.
“I am looking to
get a good sense of treat
ment design and objec
tives from the public and
collaborator’s perspective
prior to breaking for the
field season,” said Tom
Mafera, Heppner District
Ranger. “Your suggestions
will be useful in the devel
opment of the proposed ac
tion for the Potamus Plan
ning Area.”
