When the Heppner
Elementary Parent-Teacher
Club met to discuss the
upcoming annual school
carnival, they realized that
many of the props for the
games and activities had
seen better days. PTC Presi
dent Carri Grieb suggested
contacting Dave Fowler at
Heppner High to see if his
students would be inter
ested in building new and
improved carnival games.
“Everyone at Hep
pner High rem em bers
the fun of Carnival Night
at HES,” said a project
spokesperson, “so the mem
bers of the Heppner High
Manufacturing and Engi
neering Department were
anxious to help create new
memories.”
So far, the high-
schoolers have created new
boards for the Football
Toss, the Bean Bag Throw
and the Balloon Pop. Many
other projects are in the
works and will be done
in plenty of time for the
Thursday, November 10
carnival date.
The carnival is held
in the HES gym, but the
fundraiser’s festivities be
gin in the cafeteria at 5:30
p.m. with dinner of chili,
baked potatoes and hot
dogs. The carnival will take
place from 6:00-7:30 p.m.

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

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.
