Creative Care preschool gets rural community grant addresses a variety of abil- ities. The existing play equipment was in dire need of replacement and this money will help us accom- plish our goal quickly. “Our preschool has served Ione and surround- ing communities for gen- erations. In fact, many for- mer students have grown to become Farm Credit Services customers and even a few Northwest FCS employees. This grant is an example of Northwest Farm Credit Services’ commit- ment to rural communities and we are proud to have been selected.” Northwest FCS award- ed more than $99,000 dur- ing the irst rural grant cycle of 2016. Since the pro- gram’s inception in 2007, the company has presented 527 rural grants totaling more than $1,047,000. The next rural grant deadline is June 1.

Up- grades include stop, curve warnings, trafic direction arrows, street name and other signs changed or im- proved at select locations. In Morrow County, new signage will be added on Tower Rd. and Willow Creek Rd. Oregon Dept. of Trans- portation personnel say the work is needed to ensure signage meets current fed- eral standards. This may include replacing damaged signs, adding new signage such as additional curve warnings, relocating signs to improve site distance/ safety, or upgrading exist- ing signs to comply with changed sign requirements. According to an ODOT release, the project will go to bid in late May, with work performed during the 2016 summer construction season and completed by fall 2016. Travelers can expect lane closures, laggers, and up to 20-minute delays at times near work areas, de- pending on location. Some minor impacts for pedestrian trafic, such as sidewalk closures or de- tours may also occur. The estimated $550,000 is being funded through the Federal Highway Safety Improvement Program. Heed the Warning T his sign which is posted at substations and near other electrical equipment- means what it says. Electricity can be deadly, and should always be respected. Take this warning seriously, and teach young children- even those to young to read- to recognize the warning sign and steer clear of the hazard. COLUMBIA BASIN ELECTRIC CO-OP
