To ihe Editor:
When our family bought our home
at 393 Gale in A pnl o f I9H0. 9 years
ago. we were pleased to he moving
into a nice four bedroom home on
a large comer ltd cl«»sc lo Main street
and schools
Naturally we had a good deal o f
concern about our neighbors and
how we w o u ld Tit in to the
neighborhood We had two small
hoys who fought all the time,
screamed and yelled constantly and
generally raised hell Our dog bark
ed to much and visited the neighbors
yards all the time
When we found that our three
closest neighbors were all in their
senior years, we d idn't kn«>w vshat
lo anticipate
W ould they like us? Would they
like our kids'* Would they like m ir
dog*
Boy, were we lucky?
These neighbors were the first
with a hello in the morning The first
lo offer the use o f a garden tool or
other piece o f equipment
The first to sht>w concern about
injuries to our kids or the first to
com plim ent us when they did
something right
I don't know how many limes so

mronc threw hack an errent hall
from the yard nest door
We were never without fresh fruits
and vegetables from the gardens o f
our neighbors
These strange neighbors quickly
turned into our good friends
We've been very lucky lo have
lived nest to Sophie and Clayton
Ayers. Luke and Madalyn Hihhy and
Ambmse and M arguaritc Chapin
We re moving nest week annind
the block Am tlhcr young couple
with two young children and a mean
dog is moving into the house
l.ittle do they know that the best
thing ah«»ut livin g there isn't the
four bedrooms, the corner lot or the
closeness to town and school
I t'll he the greatest neighbors in

To the Editor
I have served on the M orrow
County Medical Board for the past
su months At the March 6 meeting.
I resigned from the Board because
o f a strong disagreement which oc
curred during the Executive Session
U n fo rtu n a te ly , th is leaves the
Medical Board w ith m» representa
non from Boardman I urge our
County Commissioners to appoint,
as soon as possible, tw o persons
from the Boardman area to serve as
Medical Board members Adequate
representation o f all our local com
munities is a necessity i f the Board
is to function in a manner which is
fair to all citizens o f M orrow C«>un
ty When the County Court «Joes fill
the Medical Board vacancies. I
would like the new members to he
aware o f my misgivings regarding
the future of the Boardman C linic
W ith the ailoption o f a new
management agreement between St
Anthony Hospital and M orrow
County, the Boardman C linic w ill no
longer be leased directly to St A n
thony Instead, it w ill he managed by
the County Medical Administrator in
the same manner as our other
medical facilities I am concerned
about this situation for several
reas«>ns First. St Anthony Hospital
has been operating a clinic in
Um atilla which is in competition
w ith the Boardman C linic. Second,
while the County Medical Ad
mimstrator is responsible to carry
out the p»>licics o f the Board, he is
also an employee o f, and responsi
ble to. St Anthony Hospital
The Medical Board has been t«»ld
by St Anthony's representative that
they kvst money during their lease o f
the Boardman C lin x This is certain
ly understandable considering that
St Anthony was operating not only
the Boardman and Um atilla C linics
in compctitKm with each other hut.
until recently, the Hcmusion C linic
as well It should als«» he pointed out
that St Anthony's recent survey
about the Boardman C linic »as n<*t
sent to any residents o f Irrigon
I believe that our clinic in Board
man can meet the needs o f l«xal
citizens with a minimum expenditure
o f tax dollars i f the County Medical
Administrator is given clear mstruc
tarns to pursue the well being o f the
Boardman C linic in the same man
ncr as has been «lone w nh the Hcpp
ncr C linic There can he no excuse
foe the Medical Hoard to neglec t one
clinic while nurturing the «»ther Ccr
tainlv the successful operation o f the
Boardman C linic «sill require «omc
management skills, hut I believe that
our Medical Adm inistrator has pro
ved himself quite capable o f the task,
provided that his abilities arc n«»t
shackled The Board must recognize
that there exists a potential for con
flict o f interest with St Anth«»nv
Hospital. andC«*unt> medical policy
must ensure that all dcciM«»ns which
concern the Boardman C linic are
v ile ly based upon the best interests
o f l«xal citizens

tags arc being used
Tins hill w ill provide hunters with
an assurance that they w ill he given
