David and April Hilton Sykes, Publishers LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Editor's note: The Gazette Times has received several unsigned letters to the editor Rewarding To the Editor: March 30 is the date of the regular school district election and also the date for the election of school board mem bers. My school board position is the only open position this year. After a great deal of soul searching, I have decided that to serve another term on the board would place too great a -burden on me personally and upon my family at this time. For this reason I have reluctantly decided not to seek another term. The past seven and a half years of service on the Morrow County School Board have been among the most personally rewarding years of my life. I thank the patrons of the district for allowing me to serve. This has been a period of considerable growth in the district and the pressure for increased buildings, staff and increased budgets was a great concern to those of us who served on the board and tried to make the right decisions. The support and understand- V ing given to us by the patrons a of the district during those times will always be carried with me as a measure of the quality of people we have here in our county school district. When the chips are down, they were there. I think that history will bare out the fact that those decisions were the right ones. As I near the end of my term of office, I can't help but reflect on the quality of the schools in Morrow County. Three of my own children have gone through these schools and I am grateful for the fine education and the opportunity for extra curricu lar activities in band and music that were provided by an excellent staff of under standing teachers, coaches, and classified staff. 1 was proud of the harmony that existed within the district between our schools which is a tribute to the building princi pals who recognize the impor tance of unifying their efforts for all kids in the county. They are a truly professional group of people who are dedicated to providing our county schools with good education. I would also like to thank our superintendent and his staff at the district office for his very effective leadership and his strong support for the school board and its poljcies. Finally, I want to express my appreciation to my col legues on the board and to those who served with me but are no longer on the board. These people have served cheerfully and have given hours and hours of their time trying to lead the school district in a direction that provides a high quality of education for our young peo ple. I have been personally inspired by their dedication and their example and will always treasure my memory of our association. As you can tell by my letter, my service on the school district board has meant a great deal to me and I shall miss it. I hope our patrons will continue their support of our of Morrow Heppner in the past week. It is Gazette-Times policy to print only letters which have been signed. schools in the future. Sincerely, Ken Broadbent Boardman, OR Thanks for support To the Editor: On behalf of the sports teams, the band, and the cheerleaders of Heppner High school, I would like to sincere ly thank all area boosters who have appeared to support, cheer, and inspire us to give a greater effort at the district tournament as well as the . entire season. Participating in the district tournament is a rewarding experience. Knowing that the whole community is behind us cheering and lending support, regardless whether we win or lose, is gratifying and inspir ing. .Winning the sportsmanship trophy meant a lotto the team and student body. However, this trophy also should be shared with the community of Heppner. This award reflects the positive attitudes and behavior of our adult support ers and fans. Your enthus iasm, pride and positive attitude can serve as an excellent example to the HHS students as well as to our younger fans. Thank you for your contin ued support, enthusiasm, pride and attendance. Your presence makes it easier to excel and give our best, win or lose. See you this Friday at the State Regional Tournament. Sincerely, John Murray Student Body President Heppner High School Congratulations To .the Editor: We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Jim Ackley and the Heppner High School Pep Band. You did an outstanding job and are a credit to our community. You are number one in the eyes of the Heppner fans. Keep up the good work ! Rick and Susan Johnston Thank you To the Editor: The Committee to Save the Neighborhood Center wishes publicly to thank the Revenue Sharing Committee and the Morrow County Court for appropriating funding for the coming fiscal year, 1982-83, for continuation of the Heppner Neighborhood Center. To all the committee mem bers for their help in distribut ing the petitions to the people of Morrow County, for contac ting the Revenue Sharing Committee and County Court. For the many letters of support to the court and news media we are most grateful. Special thanks to Doug and Sonya Smith for providing meeting space for the commit tee and to Bill Kuhn for legal service. With all the cooperation throughout all of Morrow County, the Save the Neigh borhood Center Committee acknowledges that the project was successful because you citizens cared. John Canaday Neola Mackey Co-leaders of Save the Neighborhood Center Committee March 4, 1982 Impressive To The Editor: This is a letter directed at the entire town of Heppner. I wish to express deep pride and congradulations that I have for the team, students and fans of this area that attended the district basketball tourna ment in Pendleton this past weekend. It was very impres sive to see all the support that our team had and it's even more impressive to win the sportsmanship award. Maybe our boys didn't play up to their potential last weekend, but they did manage to move on into the state regional tournament to be held in Pendleton this week end. I know what those guys are capable of doing, and even though wecan't use amplifiers at state tournaments, the band will be there, blowing their brains out in support of our team. That brings me to the main point of this letter. It's been a decade since we've had a boys team make it to the district tournament, and even longer since we've been represented at state. That's where we are now, and I want to see even more people attending this regional tournament than were at the district tourna ment. I've coached most of these players on many differ ent teams at different age levels, and I have a big interest in what they're doing this weekend. I will give them every bit of support I'm capable of giving because of what I feel for them. You should feel a great deal for them also, because they represent this place we call home. The outcome of the tourna ment doesn't mean half as much as the spirit and pride that this team has created in our community. They've al ready done themselves proud. If they can maintain control and we can support them with all of the spirit we're capable of giving, then (God willing) they can advance even further. Let's give it our best shot. Sincerely, Jim Ackley Stop handgun violence To the Editor: One year ago this month the president of the United States was nearly killed with a Saturday Night Special. Thank God President Reagan survived. But during this past year over 20.000 other Americans were shot with handguns. They were not as fortunate as the president. They died. It's easy to blame the politicians in Congress who should be doing something to stop America's handgun vio lence. But the Congress works for us. What have we done? What have you done? The gun lobbyists are puny compared to us. Polls show that nine in ten Americans want tougher handgun laws. But the politicians hear from the gun zealots every day. It's time they heard from us. Our goal is to find one million Americans who care enough about handgun vio lence to stop it. And if becoming one million strong isn't enough, we'll find ten million more until our hand gun laws are strengthened. And if Congress won't change the law, we'll change the Congress. Every time a John Lennon or a Ronald Reagan is shot, America is called a sick society. A handful of kooks doesnt make us a sick society. But what is sick is for the rest of us to let this handgun violence continue. You can do something to stop America's handgun vio lence. Contact us. We'll show you how.
