Setting the record straight
GAZETTE-TIMES
To the Editor
Last week an article that w u ran
in the Gazette- Times generated quite
a number of phone calls from
friends, family and from a few peo
pie I didn't even know
The article was that of the
Strneber King wedding
The Gazette Times reported that
the nng hearer was Hnan Zeller
Because of these inquiries as to the
status of my children. 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

The divorce of myself and Barbara

divorced my children I didn't I love

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

To the Editor
Development of the Wells springs
area on the Old Oregon Trail has
been going on for over a year now
We began by establishing a g«xxl
communication system with the
Navy at Boardman They have been
very helpful, and have written our
proposals through military channels
faithfully We have both reached a
snag from West Div (the Navy
Public Works Dept l in San Bruno.
Calif West Div's envKimmentalists
feel "that to establish restroom
fac ilities on the Boardmeni Segment
would encourage tounsm to Morrow
County and he a detriment to the
natural state of the desert "’
Do we give up0 No way
Our response will he to continue
going through channels, and con
vince the people in San Bruno that
the Old Oregon Trail is. and has
been open to hikers as a National
Historic hiking trail, and toilets are
a sanitary necessity for preservation
Of the desert area (We can't have
people squeezing ihe Charmin
behind the sagebrush )
It's an ongoing battle with
bureaucracy in moving these pro
jeets forward for the sake of our
country's future We know that
legally wc have the right to develop
the site

West Dis needs to approve the con
struction of the chemical toilet
enclosure. In the meantime, they
have chosen to order the local Navy
pcrsoncl to remove the toilets from
the site The Port of Morrow has ap
prosed the construction of a small m
terpretibe center (Kiosk) at the site
Without the Navy's approval we will
not be allowed to place the structure
on the range Our only option would
be to obtain private land for the con
struction of these facilities The
range cannot he closed to hikers
because of its National Histone Trail

To the Editor
The people of Heppner need to
know what is happening to their gar
bage service For the last two and a
half years. Heppner Garbage
Disposal Service has hecn kept in a
stale of uncertainty by the indecision
and inaction of the Heppner City
Council The Council has known for
several months that Parcel “ A”
would he filled and it would become
necessary to expand into Parcel
"B ”. Yet. the Council took no ac
tion towards obtaining DEQ ap
proval of Parcel "B ".
The citizens of Heppner found it
necessary to force the decision by
letters to the council and by an over
whelming vote to keep the landfill
open However, at the August I.
1988 council meeting, the Council
decided to close (he landfill until
DEQ approval for Parcel "B " was
received We agreed to haul Hepp
ner garbage to Hemuston fix a shun
period, in spile of substantial in
crease of coats to us to do so A
special council meeting was held
August 15 to take actum on the land
fill At that meeting, one individual
offered to furnish equipment and do
the earth moving work at a price
substantially fower than it would cost
the city to do the work At that
meeting however, the council made
it clear, it does not want to operate
the landfill
Because wc cannot afford the in
