LETTERS 10 msmsm An innocent event To the editor: Having just read Corrine Miles letter in the Gazette concerning the picking of daf fodils from our church lawn. I agreed with most of what she said. I do feel that because one of our church members (whose identity is unknown) reprimanded these children in a way that was frightening to them, all our church member should not be addressed as if we were a party to this. Were it not for the letter, we would probably have never known. Whether one is Lutheran. Methodist. Roman Catholic, hpiscopalian. etc. I'm sure there would be differing opin ions within each denomination from the idea that "children should be free to do as they please" to "flowers are to look at. not to pick." As in every thing there is a "somewhere in between." Children do need to be taught to ask before picking flowers as it is such a natural Suggests transferring to lone School To the editor: On Monday night. April 18. there was a large group of lone people at the County School Board meeting, ex pressing their concern about seemingly excessive budget cuts directed at a reduction in teaching staff. Our democracy allows pub lic discussion. Out of deeply felt expressed concerns, there is always a broadening of awareness. One of the thoughts expressed had to do with who attends school. When we became a county district, it was decided that we not estab lish boundaries with the ex press intent of allowing free movement of students within the distict. We like it To the editor: We have been living here a year now and many have asked what do you really think of Heppner and community? Quite honestly, we came to this little town with some anxiety, even though we had grown up in a small city in North Dakota we had gotten quite used to the advantages of a larger community. With all sincerity we can say we like it here. The warmth and acceptance by the people Jonathan Shad Timms - A son. Jonathan Shad, was born to Sue and Russel Timms of Pocatello. Idaho on March 30.

We even had a Sunday school lesson on this awhile back which took both sides into considera tion . older adult and child. I'm sorry that these little girls were frightened by an adult that probably came on stronger than he or she meant to. Possibly he or she should have talked to the parents inside! I'm sure that in any church the same incident might have occurred .. evervone has their ups and downs. I also understand that love and the mother person in Corrine caused her to react the way she did. We've all been there! Next time maybe iust a letter to the adult involved would be more in order, so the entire commun ity would not he involved in such an innocent event. Hope there are no hard feelings anvwhere! Claudia Hughes. Heppner If appears to me that the prime assets of the lone School should be promoted; Readv access to an excellent athletic program which in cludes eight-man football. There is personal instruction available, ready access to computers and an experien ced staff with an excellent record of teaching success. I would like to suggest that parents who live within rea sonable commuting distance of Tone take a look at and consider transferring their children to the lone School. Sincerely. Donald E. Peterson Box 294 lone. Ore. here here has been heartwarming. Recently, we had an occasion to be especially grateful. We had lost our keys in an unusual manner and behold they were turned in by a kind and responsible person. Thank you! A small thing maybe, but I wonder how many times that happens in a big town. Just wanted all to know Heppner is a great place to live and we're glad to be here.
