EDITORIAL
better for
The American Association of University
Women's Candidates Fair, held last Wednes
day in Heppner, was a well organized and
thoroughly interesting and educational event.
So often during the election we are
inundated with media coverage of the "big"
candidates, the presidents and other national
office seekers.
We live in a small community and often see
local candidates on the street corner or in the
restaurants, but how often do we have the
chance to hear these candidates discuss their
philosophies and ideas about the offices they
seek?
The Candidates Fair gave local candidates
a chance to do just that, speak out. And more
important it offered the local electorate an
opportunity to hear the people who will, after
the election, in some way or another influence
our daily lives.
These jobs and offices are regional, and do
not carry the broad influence of a U.S. Senate
seat, for example, but they do, nevertheless,
carry weight which will affect us just as
much.
A note of encouragement should be given to
rhe candidates who participated in the
questioning and speeches. Standing up in
front of an audience to "toot one's own horn"
ay not be easy for many of them, and with
eACCTition of the "pure" political offices
the legislature) good oratory skills may not
lh1 a requisite.
However, they did get up, they did speak,
and they and the voters should feel assured
that the political process is better off for it.

Letters to the Editor
Dial 911
Some time ago. after a good
night's sleep. I opened my
eyes and raised my head to
check out the day. All the
lights in a Vegas disco went
off in my head and my body
did a freefall from an airplane
without a parachute. I thought
about it for a minute and said
to myself, "Delia, that didn't
happen, so get it together." So
I tried again and again and
each time the lights and the
freefall.
So what to do? Help was
necessary before I passed out.
I reached for the bedside
phone my children had insis
ted be installed in hand-reach .
of my pillow and dialed 911.
the emergency number. A
voice answered immediately
I gave her my name, street,
and how to find me and that I
needed help.
In just a few minutes the
ambulance was here and.
bless Mike, ran across the
street to help. The stretcher
couldn't make the turn into the
bedroom so they flipped a
blanket on the floor, plopped
me on it. and literally dragged
me out and away to the
hospital.
This is a thank you to the
town for having that wonder
ful emergency number, 911.
May we never lose it through
misuse or neglect.
Thanks to my folks and dear
friends for all the care and
loving kindness when so badly
needed.

Unbiased
A newspaper reporter
should be unbiased and should
not allow his feelings - no
matter how strong they may
be - to color his stories, unless
those stories are written as
editorials.
The biased viewpoint of
"Gazette-Times" reporter
Sherry Cowett is all too
evident in her October 2 story
"Heppner Fillies fulfill pre
diction" concerning the recent
Ione-Heppner volleyball
game.
In her effort to take sides
Miss Cowett managed to leave
out the date of the game,
where it was held, and the
scores of the individual play
ers. She did succeed in getting
in such questionably pertinent
remarks as "The lone team
hit the ball all over the gym
and didn't have much control
of the ball at all." and "The
whole game lasted seven
minutes."
Miss Cowett seemed to be
much more concerned with
playing up Heppner and
putting down lone than she
was with getting all of the
facts into her story.
Besides leaving out impor
tant facts, the story by Miss
Cowett may have stirred up
animosity and resentment
towards Heppner on the part
of the lone players, coaches,
and students. In other words,
such biased journalism does
nothing to promote good
sportsmanship.
I realize that the "Gazette
Times" has to hire high school
STATEMENT OF INGATHERING PHILOSOPHY,
OBJECTIVES, AND METHODS
Seventh-dav Adventists have conducted their Annual Ingathering
Crusade ince 1908. They have attempted to reach every home with their
spiritual message. They believe that Christ is the only hope for a world
plagued with problems, such as runaway crime, devastating wars,
polluted environment, and other social evils. Their aim, to teach all
nations the everlasting gosDel of our Lord and the commandments of
Cod, sums up their reason tor a steady, consistent witness to the world
about them.
Seventh-day Adventists believe in a holistic concept of man, and
they attempt to minister to the social, physical, mental, and spiritual
aspects of men. To meet his needs, these Christian people believe they
must minister not only to one but to all aspects of his being. Thus the
humanitarian work fostered by the Adventists includes more than the
preaching of the Word. It also comprehends a healing ministry for the
tick, the feeding of the hungry, the clothing of the naked, the education
of children and youth. In their work the Adventists endeavor to serve all
aspects of man's being physical, mental, and spiritual. They work for
the wholeness of life and the wholeness of man. This, in substance, is
their reason for existence.
The Annual Ingathering Crusade is part of a many-sided evangelistic
program fostered by Seventh-day Adventists. The objectives of this
ministry are
to reach every home and business,
to bring the love and hope of Jesus Christ to every individual,
to have prayer with as many individuals as possible,
to encourage Bible study by enrolling people in the Bible course,
to leave Christian literature,
to give every individual an opportunity to give an offering for the
financial support of the worldwide humanitarian work of the Seventh
day Adventist Church,
to locate individuals who might be interested in worshiping with or
joining the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
These volunteer workers who make personal contacts are willing to
contribute of their time and their monetary gifts to bring to the world the
Biblical message of an unfailing hope in Cod. They invite others to join
hands with them in this humanitarian and spiritual undertaking.

students to help cover their
sports stories because of the
time factor involved in cover
ing so many local sporting
events, however, this is no
excuse for poor journalism. I
hope you will encourage Miss
Cowett to either curb her urge
to write biased stories or to
turn in her reporter's note
book. Sincerely yours.

(Editor's note: The Gazette
Times is aware of the rivalry
that can develop between two
schools and their sports
teams.
We stand by our reporters -from
lone. Heppner or wher
ever - and urge sports fans to
realize a critique of the
opposing (and sometimes
home) team is part of sports
reporting and is not meant to
detract from or belittle those
students participating.
