To the editor:
I have been a resident of this
community for the last five
years and have been in the
district attorney's office for
three of those years. I have
been impressed with the qual
ity of life and with the remark
ably low crime rate in Hep
pner. Thus, I regret the neces
sity of having to write this
letter.
We have a thief in the
community, not a thief who
steals from adults who have

some resources to counteract
the loss, but a thief who steals
from very young children. The
thief takes big wheel type
tricycles from three and four
year-olds. There were four
such tricycles taken August 25
- 26.
This may not seem all that
big deal to we adults who
have grown to expect thefts of
televisions, bicycles and other
easy to take items. But what
kind of a person steals from
little kids? It would take an
extremely cruel or vindictive
person to hurt a child that
way.
Parents please protect your
children by locking their toys
up at night. I would also ask
anyone who sees one of the
tricycles or parts of such to
contact the city police or the
district attorney's office with
the information.
Sincerely,
Annetta L.-Spieer
Correction
The last paragraph of a
letter to the editor from Irene
Nolan, Pendleton, appearing
in last week's Gazette-Times,
was incorrectly published.
The letter was entitled "Wake
Up".
The paragraph should have
read:
"I have a few other ideas
mat I may send in later. These
teo dollars wi'l help to fill
your coffers and also give
people work and more people
will stay in Heppner if they
have jobs."
The Gazette-Times regrets
the error.
