Businesses keep Heppner attractive For A dvertising advertising deadline is Monday at 5 p m Cost lo r a display ad is $5 per lication m ust be specified A ffidavits m ust be required at the tim e of subm ission A ffidavits ~ To the editor, I would like to take this opportunity to recognize the Heppner main streets businesses for their continuing effort to keep the highways through town looking good and litter-free. One of Heppner’s important assets is its good ap pearance for ourselves and our visitors. Our community businesses are important contributors to how we look. Sincerely, John Edmundson Heppner Vote yes for fire hall Voters of Lexington, We would like to clear up some misinformation that was published in a letter to the editor in last week’s Gazette. First of all, the cost of the new Fire Hall is $162,000—which includes the new septic system—not $200,000. Of that $162,000, we already have $38,000 from grants and pledges. We are asking for $200,000 of bonding authority based on legal advice from the town’s attorney in case we incur unforeseen expenses. We do not plan to spend one cent more than we have to. Yes, you are already paying $2 per thousand to support the department. These taxes will cover the cost of heat and power in the new building after it is constructed. At this time we would also like to point out that the Lexington bond listed on your current property tax statement will be paid off this year. The new Fire Hall bond will simply take its place next year at a slightly higher rate. We are building a Fire Hall to house the equip ment that we have.. .two fire trucks and two pick-up style brush rigs. Why construct a new building that will not house all of the equipment? Thank you and please vote yes! Mayor Jean Brazell Lexington BEO collects coins for a cause Bank of Eastern Oregon’s employees had a loose coin chal lenge amongst departments to see which groups could collect the most coins to donate to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Pink collection buckets were placed in each building. BEO’s employees came up with $473.79. Bank of Eastern Oregon will match that figure, rounding it up to a $1,000 donation. -Contributed photo “Sew Oregon” visits Heppner Guest speakers from the Umatilla Army Depot will speak at the Heppner Chamber of Commerce meeting Thursday at noon.
