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.)
Please, share your rea-
sons to smile by sending
your good-news tidbits
before Monday afternoon
to dbrosnan123@gmail.
com, or call 541-676-5382
or 541-223-1490, or stop
me on the street.
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. In
lieu of the trip, CBEC will
be offering four $500 schol-
arships, one for each of the
following communities;
Heppner/Lexington, Ione,
Condon and Fossil. Appli-
cations are due no later than
Thursday, December 16,
2021, at 5 p.m.
Applications are open
to all current 2021-2022
high school juniors, at-
tending school within the
CBEC service territory and
whose parents or guardians
receive electrical service
from CBEC. 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.

Monoclonal Antibodies for COVID-19:
• Early treatment with monoclonal antibodies may prevent
progression to more severe disease and hospitalization
• Monoclonal antibodies are proteins produced in a lab to
target and attack specific antigens, such as the Covid-19 virus
• Once inside your body, the monoclonal antibodies attach
themselves to the Covid-19 antigen, and engage your
immune system to target and attack the virus
• Patient data from clinical trials showed that high risk Covid-19
patients treated with monoclonal antibodies had a 70%
reduction in relative risk of progression to severe disease
or hospitalization compared to patients who did not receive
monoclonal antibodies
• Outpatient one-time dose
• Treatments are generally available at little or no cost to
eligible patients

• Have mild to moderate symptoms of Covid-19, and
• Have tested positive for Covid-19, and
• Have had symptoms for 10 days or less (the treatment is most
effective when given shortly after symptoms appear, so it is
important to get tested and treated as soon as possible), and
• Are at high risk of getting more serious symptoms
