Homes around Heppner showed their patriotism Me- morial Day with flags put up by the local Boy Scouts. “It’s not too late to sign up for the remaining holi- days this year,” said Dieter Waite, one of the adult scout leaders for the troop. “We are very pleased with the response and the support we are getting from the community. Many people have commented about how nice the flags look and how important it is to share their patriotic spirit.” For $45 the first year and $40 each subsequent year, members of Troop 691 will place a nylon flag in residents’ yards. The flag are displayed from early in the morning to late in the evening on the four holidays. The next holiday where the flags will be dis- played is Flag Day, Sunday, June 14.
