SIDEWALKS Good News Only -Continued from PAGE ONE By Doris Brosnan A doozy of another wind storm swept through town in the early morning. Good news: maybe not as much damage this time, although branches, shingles and dislocated garbage cans are a worry. Also, good news: the lawn that I was only halfway successful in blowing and raking some leaves from two days ago, as I began my battle with the sycamore tree that still contains many, huge leaves, was blown clear.. What a fine alternate plan the HHS student body developed this month when they were not able to hold the traditional Veterans Day assembly. Business win- dows, festooned with red, white and blue accessories, display photos of our com- munity members who have served or continue to serve in the military. We can stroll Main and May Streets and be reminded of the many who have served, as well as be thankful for those now serving. Grandparents Mike and Christy Correa enjoyed taking their granddaughter, Paisley Marie, to her first Mustang football game last Saturday. Petite Paisley is ten months old and smiled the whole game. (She had much to smile about, but truth be told, smiling is one of her common, captivating features.) It seems like yes- terday Correas were taking Paisley’s mother, Maken- zie, to the games. There will be many Mustang games in Paisley’s future. Go Mus- tangs. On to state. Kate Allstott, age four, is excited to be a big sis- ter to Jane Julie Allstott, born on October 1 st to Sean and Kylee Disque Allstott. Grandparents are Teri and Brian Allstott and Robanai and Duane Disque. Kate and Jane are also lucky to have five great grandparents, Jim and Jo Allstott, Judy and Riney Fischer, and Beverly Graebel. Kate and Jane also have a new cousin, Kinsley Rae Rankin, born Septem- ber 5 th to Cody and Jasey Riddle Rankin, making Terry Riddle a grandfather for the first time. Terry will share grandparent duties with Christine Rankin. Congratulations to the HHS athletes who added to their seasons’ fine stand- ings. The men’s cross-coun- try team placed third in the state championship com- petition. And the Mustangs gridiron team won its first playoff game, against Re- gis. (Stay tuned.)

Here’s hoping that some good news comes to everyone reading this. would be “perfect.” She said the land is in the flood way, the most restrictive type of property in Hep- pner, not buildable, and available for purchase. Mayor Jim Kindle wanted to know if residents in the area might object to the park as happened when a dog park was proposed earlier in another part of town. Cutsforth said there was a buffer between the lot and residential property, so she didn’t think so. She added that this location is more centrally located and easier access for people and their dogs than other proposed locations. While at the council meeting Cutsforth also up- dated the council on her CBEC offering scholarships T h i s y e a r, d u e t o COVID 19, Columbia Ba- sin Electric will not be sending students on the Washington D.C. tour.

Applications are available on the website at www.cbec.cc or from the schools. The press release stat- ed, “At CBEC, we take great pride in highlighting the value of cooperative membership to young peo- ple. After all, they are our members-in-training. We provide a variety of pro- grams that benefit young people, from safety demon- strations to sponsoring youth activities across our five-county service terri- tory.” efforts to locate a miniature golf course in town. She has a spot picked out on South Main at the old swimming pool location and so far has talked to miniature golf course developers about the project. Cutsforth presented the council with a proposed layout for the course. The Bryant Trust would be pay- ing for the golf course, but she is looking for a “con- sistent” entity to actually operate the facility. “We have a long way to go on this and I will be back next month with a presentation,” Cutsforth told the council. In other business the council heard a report on the recent planning com- mission meeting that okayed a variance applica- tion to the Dollar General store for placement of a sign on center street at the back side entrance to their new store on Main Street in Heppner. The sign will be 18-feet high and 96 by 48 inches wide. Construction has started on the store with a concrete pad recently poured. In other action the council approved the ex- penditure of $12,000 to have the Oregon Asso- ciation of Water utilities write a conservation and management plan for the city necessary for the city to keep its water rights with the State of Oregon. City Manager Cutsforth said the applications are difficult and he has had one he wrote already rejected.
