said Ian Reid, North Fork

for the Umatilla National
Forest.
This section o f road,

John Day Wilderness trail
bridge at Big Creek, will

No motorized vehicles

A s e g m e n t o f the
narrow road washed out
four years ago when the
North Fork John Day River
flooded. Crews were able to
stabilize a small portion of
the wash through placement
of gabions so that access
to the trailhead two miles
down road would remain.
“Since that time, the
road bed has continued to
erode to the point where
it is now im passable to
full-sized vehicles and a
significant safety hazard
to forest visitors. With no
safe area for vehicles to
park or turn around near
the washout, we will place
the closure barrier 1.3 miles
back near Oriental Creek
Cam pground, where the
road will remain closed
indefinitely to full-sized
vehicles,” said Reid.
A closure device

the closed portion of road
to help prevent sediment

they have purchased for Heppner Elementary School. The student council sponsors several
events throughout the year, including Red Ribbon Week, a canned food drive, Pennies for
Patients and Popcorn Days. They also help with the school carnival, field day, greeting guests
at the music concerts and decorating for the school dance. This year, the school added an
additional requirement, which was their community service project in which they spent an
hour cleaning up the tennis courts during the Mustang Mop-Up. Their final assignment for
the year was to purchase a special gift for the school; they chose to purchase three mini iPads
to be used next year in the classrooms. -Contributedphoto
