Close to home
Mary Ann Ccrullo
Perhaps Heppner Ib an exception, but after living in this .
community for a short time, I became spoiled in certain
ways. Now.I'm a little wiser and a little bit sad.
Whfn my hiiHhni and I first arrived In the area wc were
amazed when people went to work and the front door was left
unlocked. Where we came from, new places of residences
were almost required to have shatter proof glass and
steel-plated doors.
We were used to having to prepare ourselves for having our
car broken into whenever it was parked on the street. In
Heppner we saw people park their vehicle In town and leave
the keys in the ignition!
Now I'm amazed at how easily we fell Into that same
pattern.
It all seemed to start In full force in 1981. Earlier In the
year, homes began being broken into near Pioneer Memorial
Hospital. Next, cars were being stolen, usually because
someone had left it running.
Things started getting a little close for comfort when tales
of a strange woman walking into neighbors houses while
they were out began circulating during the Christmas
holiday.
Other incidences had occurred, like the owners of the
Gazette-Times were burglarized. And the McElligott ranch
was cleared out and vandalized.
Finally, last weekend fate hit us. It wasn't a big deal
monetarily, but it made two people in this household think.
Last spring, during the rash of thefts and burglaries, the
police department advised the public to lock their homes and
cars and not to leave the keys In the ignition. Of course, Larry
and I, like most, didn't take their advice very seriously.
Last weekend someone helped themselves to a little bit of
cash in my wallet as It stupidly sat in the glove compartment
of our unlocked car.
It was then that Larry and I shook ourselves, added up the
recent occurrences in our community, and have begun
locking our doors once more.
It's sad to admit, but we've had to acknowledge that the
realities of the city are closing In. Let's hope it is only
temporary.

"Futures markets can pro
vide key benefits to farmers
even if they never trade a
single contract." says USDA
Economist Allen Paul. Only a
few farmers trade futures, but
many use the price informa
tion generated by futures
markets in production and
marketing decisions. Hedging
with futures contracts can
help protect farmers against
losses and reduce risk. Fu
tures contracts can also help
farmers obtain loans for
operating capital when their
security for the loan is
anticipated production.
