next June.
Oregon TSA holds
three state competitions
during the school year at
BMCC. There are currently
six high school TSA chap-
ters in our region, with
plans for new chapters next
year.
“We will be adding
middle school TSA chap-
ters for 2015-16,” added
Fowler.
teacher Dave Fowler said it
was a learning experience
for all the students, and
plans are already underway
for the 2016 National TSA
Conference, “Building
a Legacy, in Nashville, TN

-Heard a report from
police officer John Bowles,
who is also a councilperson,
that there has been a drop in
crime in Heppner, a lot of
which is due to citizens call-
ing in suspicious activity.
-Heard a report from
Fire Chief Rusty Estes,
who reported the follow-
ing activity for June: three
rural wild land fires, five
secure landing zones, one
motor vehicle accident, two
structure fires, two rekindle
fires, one lift assist, two mu-
tual aids to Boardman, two
mutual aids to Ione, and 22
chief calls.
CITY COUNCIL
council passed a letter of
support for ODOT’s (Or-
egon Department of Trans-
portation) plan to chip seal
Heppner’s Main Street next
summer. The street is a
state highway and therefore
ODOT’s responsibility for
upkeep. New striping will
also be done at that time and
Cutsforth said the angle of
parking lines on the street
will be changed at that time
to make for easier parking.
“There was a recom-
mendation to change the
parking spaces on Main
Street from an 80 degree an-
gle to 60 degrees,” accord-
The View from the Green
utility commission meeting.
“This would improve vis-
ibility, also this would help
with the J-turn (U-turn)
problem, as the new angle
would make J-turn parking
less accessible.”
In other business the
council:
-Allowed WC con-
struction to start work at 6
a.m. on the new courthouse
building site instead of 7
a.m. The heat and a desire
for construction workers
to work four 10-hour days
prompted the change.
-Decided not to charge
month fire flow charge if
their water has been shut
off. Business, and not resi-
dential, are charged the
extra water fee, and the
city had been making that
charge even if a business
was shut down and the
water turned off. Cutsforth
said people were not only
angry about the charge, but
were refusing to pay since
they were not receiving wa-
ter service. She said there
were, “four to five empty
buildings and it’s not a big
part of our budget” she told
the council.
