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.

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

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.
Sincerely,
Pete Shields
