The all Warrior Memorial is
still in progress and things are
looking up at this point. Even
though things seem to be at a
stand still there is progress being
made. .,. .
One thing we do need to do is
meet with the Land Use
Committee to get everything
al 1 squared away and have them
set up a general public meeting
so as we can present this to the
general membership. Hopefully ,
that will be soon We have set
up two meetings in the past and
they were canceled because no
one showed up. What happened '
was the Veterans were sitting
in one building waiting for the
Land Use Committee to show
up, in the meantime the Land .
Use Committee was in another .
building waiting for the
Veterans to how. up,' finally,
they canceled the meeting.. ' -v

96.5 FM "More
Country" to
change format
Starting on January 1, 1998, with
the coming of the new year, High
Desert Communications annnounces
the addition of a new format to Cen
tral Oregon radio air wavesas they
split simulcast of KIJK and KTWI,
formally known as "More Country
Radio" 96.5 of Prinevillc.
According to station manager
Jerry Hicks, "the new format at 96.5
will broadcast, at 100,000 watts of
power, Central Oregon's only adult
contemporary format."
Artist's like Hootie and the Blow
fish, Gin Blossoms, Phil Collins, Rod
Ste wart, Toni Braxton, Seal, Journey,
Tina Turner, Madonna, Elton John
and many more will be heard with a
real local presentation. It's a format
that I think is missing in the radio
market of Central Oregon," says
Hicks.
This format addition and quality
programming is "very exciting to
say the least. The marketing power
of an 18 to 44-year-old focused hot
adult contemporary, combined with
the great ratings delivered by More
Country-KIJK, will even be greater.
Here's a one-two punch sure to reach
and deliver to radio listeners around
Central Oregon, says Hicks.
"We look forward to our new and
exciting format and hope our listen
ers will be just as excited at the op
portunity to bring the new format at
96.5 to Central Oregon ears."

Registry Programs. Veterans
who served in the Persian Gulf
War or who claim exposure to
Agent Orange or atomic radiation
are provided with free,
comprehensive medical
examinations, including base-line
laboratory tests and other
diagnostic teats deemed by an
examining physician necessary to
determine current health status.
Results of the examinations, which
include preparation of the
veteran's military service and
exposure history, are entered into
special, computerized data bases,
called registries. These data bases
assist VA in analyzing the types
of health conditions being reported
by veterans. Registry participants
are advised to the results of their
examinations in personal
consultations. Veterans wishing
to participate should contact the
nearest VA health-care facility for
an examination. VA operates a
toll-free at a 1-800-749-8387 to
inform Persian Gulf veterans about
VA programs, their benefits and
the latest information available
about Persian Gulf affairs.
