DAM WATER -Continued from PAGE ONE the water and you can see how much there is. Although there have been several mechanical devices installed at the lake to circulate water and hopefully improve water quality, she says none of that has helped. She said the first system cost $90,000 in 2004 and another effort in 2009 for $346,000 did nothing to help. Those fig- ures were not confirmed by the Corps. Jones passed out slips of paper asking those who want to get involved to give their name and contact information as well as how much time and in what ar- eas they would be willing to contribute. Several mem- bers of the audience joined in the discussion, with one man asking: “Shouldn’t we the people of Heppner be able to say, ‘We want to use this lake’?” Community lunch menu United Methodist volunteers will serve lunch on Wednesday, April 24 at St. Patrick’s Senior Center. Lunch will be parmesan crusted fish, rice pilaf, lemon broccoli, sliced tomatoes, hot rolls and carrot cake lemon roll for dessert. Milk, coffee and tea is served at each meal. Suggested donation is $3.50 per meal. Menu is subject to change. Heppner Les Schwab would like to congratulate Keegan Gibbs on being elected as 2019 Oregon State FFA Treasurer.
