I decided to set the record straight No' Norman Zeller did not adopt my children, nor will I ever give my consent for such an adoption to ever Morrow County’s Home-Owned Weekly Newspaper U S P S 240-420 P v M W m U f> tf > W td iw d n an d o n e r «1 a . w i a 4 < l a a M i l l r s t Uw PiM I XTVr W H e p p o e r O re g o n under I He \ < 1 u f S U riH I. 1*7* S o n o d l U e putoag* pn»d •« H e p p o e r. d r a g o n OfTVe el 147 Waal W Ulu« S«r«e4.

The divorce of myself and Barbara Zeller should not imply that I also divorced my children I didn't I love my children more than you could possibly imagine Even though my children are not growing up in my household, I am proud of the peo ple that they are becoming, and I hope that they are proud to call me their dad (s) Kevin Gutierrez Bo* 717 Heppoer Wells Spring develops snags Free Enterprise , ' . % , * The possibility that l amb Weston will close the Boardman french fry plant looms ever more ominous At the very same time, the lack of a contract at Kinrua gives rise to talk of strike or worse, closure Worse case scenario the non-farm economy of Morrow County is in shambles, at best depressed. Private business, free enterprise, owes its very existence to the pursuit of profits Business owners invest their money in land, buildings, machinery, labor and all the rest of the costs of Glenn owning and operating the business They then sell a product or service for as much as they can If the income exceeds (he outgo, that's profit Hut that's not the whole story. If one could invest $100 and make $100 in profit, he would pro bably think about expanding Bui if he had 10 invesi $1.000,00(1 to make that same $100 profit, he'd sure think about doing something else Every business has its minimum acceptable profit level And those levels vary a great deal from business to business and from owner to owner As we negotiate with busin?vs, labor unions, government, suppliers, we should remember that business is already maximizing revenues and lew if any additional costs can be passed on. Thus every additional cost cuts into profits. When those profits drop below minimum acceptable profit levels, the business will close and the owners will do something else We all make decisions as to whether to buy at the demanded price or go without Business does the same thing even if going without means closure And sometimes it’* very easy to decide to go without when wc'rc talking about closing one of seven plants, the most expensive one. especially when we can't even sell all the production from that seventh plant That's the way it is with Lamb* It might even he easy to do for Kinzua The bottom line is that free enterprise runs on profits No profits, no business For those of us who work for. supply services to, or otherwise rely for our own livelihood on private business, profits arc not a dirty word, they arc essential L • t • ’•JA# ‘ », V i . -y " . —— fO U R .
