January 25, I W - FIVE Letters to the Editor Board asked to bring harmony and unity to Morrow County To the Editoi The Morrow County School Board ha» adopted the god of con taining c o i l Thu is an admirable goal for any governing hoard of a public body It should m*. however, be the single, overriding goal of a hoard responsible for the education of the children of Morrow County If earned to its logical conclusion, the end result of this goal would be to close schools and not have any costs at all The uncompromising pursuit of this goal has brought the teacher con tract negotiations to a halt The hoard does not seem to feel that it it their responsibility to negotiate They want to dictate a contract on their terms alone This refusal to negotiate is resulting in open strife and confrontation It is up to the citizens of Morrow County to con vince their elected board to negotiate a settlement with their teachers If the board thinks that dictating their own contract would he winn ing, they arc sadly mistaken The board is responsible for educating our children If they, by their ac tions. continue to drive away good experienced teachers, it is our children that suffer If they continue to offer substandard wages, the best new teachers will continue to turn their backs on Morrow County Why would any young teacher want to corot into a district with such tur moil and low wages to boot'1 It is our children who will suffer and our single minded hoard is responsible Surely their reputation would be bet ter served by bringing harmony and unity into Morrow County instead of discord and strife (s) John Dawson Boardman. OR The future of Morrow Co. is the schools To the Editor “ The future of Morrow County is in our schools today ” Great cliche' isn't it? It's also fact Here's another one Morrow County is a scry small segment of the world and in this day and age we have to know what is giv ing on and how to interrelate throughout the world We can no longer hang on to our small towns with small town ideology and expect to function in the world society Our community needs intelligent and up to date thought just to survive We also need people who know how to communicate these ideas and work with people for the betterment of their community Where arc our young pcxtplc going to Icam these skills? That's right In our schools with, hopefully, very good teachers who can meet their needs Some of the students in our schools will not stay in Morrow County They will move to many places throughout the world, but they will still need the skills we must provide in order to function produc tively. Those that do stay are the future of our county Doesn't it make sense to give them the best education possible* Believe me. we need it Don't sell Morrow County education short (s) Katherine Mclby Hoskins Umatilla resident moves to Morrow Co. partially because of schools To the Editor: I am writing out of my concern for the future of public education in Morrow County. I brought my fami ly to Boardman in 197ft We came here, instead of staying in Umatilla where we owned a home, primarily because we believed that the schools here would offer a better education for our children I believe that this has been true I thought the people of Morrow County held their schools in high regard and were willing to support them I still believe that the people of Morrow County are willing to sup port their schools. I believe that they sec value in trying to compensate their experienced teacher with a salary and benefits comparable with other districts around them I believe that the people are not willing to let their school's educational quality slip away because their experienced teachers arc leaving for better pay and more trust in their abilities In watching the actions of the school hoard in these needlessly pro longed negotiations. I have become convinced that they arc not acting in the best interest of Morrow Coun ty. I do not pretend to know why they arc taking their stance of refus ing to negotiate Is it possible, as Mr Don McElligotf has suggested, that they are try ing to "bust the union” ? Why would they try to do that ’ Aren't unions and associations of common infercst and goals an in tcgral part of American life? How would our farmers like it it a public broard tried to "bust'' the Oregon Wheat League or the Oregon Cat tleman's Association’’ How would our merchants like to have the Chamber of Commerce under at lack? If our school board thinks that the Morrow County Education Association is the only union in Mor row County, they are sadly deluded If the school board can not sec beyond their prejudice against the teacher’s association and negotiate a contract in good faith. I suggest that they give up their positions, positions of public trust, and let pciv pic who arc really concerned with education take their places (s) John Dawson Boardman. OR 97818 Stand behind our teachers To the Editor This letter is for Morrow Coun ty's parents I read a letter that men turned Bill Doherty, a current board member and his stews on Teachers contract negotiations. He said that the public is 9 to I in favor of the boards position It also stated he ex pressed a "let 'em go on strike” at titude This really angered me If this is true, then I think those nine out of 10 people should volunteer one or two hours just once to he a teacher's aide or helper I feel (hen they will be able to understand what our under paid teachers must deal with 190 days a year These teachers have many problems and situations to deal with everyday. How many of you could handle 20-30 children a day and the pro blems that do arise ’ Some of these children do have attitude problems and some of the behavior and language problems arc very unreal In an*«her letter in Monday’s E.O. it said teachers make $179 a day If that is also true. I feel they deserve it and they cam every penny of it They work long and hard for their money They are at school long before our children get there and they arc there after they arc gone How many nights do you think they spend hours of their own time at home preparing assignments and grading papers for our children? My 7 year old daughter told me she thinks teachers should get $100 an hour There is one teacher at Heppner Elementary School that I had the pnviledge of helping a few after noons last year I feel she is greatly underpaid That is Ms Cherry Web ber She must deal with 40-50 new 5 and 6 year olds every Fall. For many it's the first tunc away from mothers for any length of time She treats them all anti loves (hem all like they were her own She is always there with smiles and hugs and words of praise She takes turns pro- viding snacks with her own money just like the parents She makes school a happy and special place every day All the teachers do the best they can with students and parents alike Most all the teachers I know go out of their way to help our children They will stay late and work with them if the students need the help Better attitudes from parents would also help out alot I'm sure many teachers have heard "Johnny wouldn't do that” or have had parents who have refused to hear that Johnny needs help w ith reading or spelling, etc We as parents need to face the facts That our children arc exactly that “ children". They will do anything and everything that they think they can get away with We need to start listening and bclicv ing what adults tell us or where will these children that people think arc angels and can do no wrong end up I also want to say that if things don't work out and the teachers strike even tf this is not what they want. I will he one of the first ones that will not send my kids to school Why send them to teachers tJie hoard brings in It will not help out our teachers any I would be willing to stay home with my children and pnv bahly pick up a sign and join the picket line I hope there are many other parents that feel this way We all need to join together and voice our opinions. Stand behind the teachers We need the teachers we have. They don't need us. (s) Barbara Judd Heppner Obituaries Robert M.

Parro t Managat Some days it's hard to clear the cobwebs and arrive at one specific Chatter topic, so today is one of those "bits and pieces” days Schools One of Clumber's goals is to support quality schools. When inquiries about Eieppner come across my desk, one of die first concerns arc our schools Because of the cur rent unsettled situation. I don't feel comfortable replying even though Morniw County has some excellent teachers What can we. as a com munity do? Speaking as an in dividual. I suggest replacing apathy with empathy. Call teachers, ad ministrators. board members to research the reasons l-earn to real ly listen to each other Visit classrooms Go to the source with your complaints and follow up En courage teachers to share who they are and their concerns for our youth out in the community Know your facts before trying to influence others [>i everything possible to make sure our young people are Icar ning everything they need to know to someday be a part of this or another community There's an old Indian saying "Don't judge so meone until you've walked a mile in hts moccasins " Could it be time for all of us to exchange mocassins long cnou to change apathy to empathy?. Beautification Another Chamber goal is to have welcome signs at each entry into Heppner and to get our community in ship shape condition Again, it takes everybody working together for Heppner to reflect the pride that results in people wanting to make their home here Sunset Maga/inc is publicizing our St Patrick's celebration, so we want to be on our toes.
