Pioneer Memorial Hospital va ill he sponsor mg a hlood drise from 2 p m till 6 p m at the Hcppner Elks Lodge In this day and age of high tech medical miracles something is overlooked all to often That special something it you In major surgery or unexpected accidents the life saver ia all mo often hlood Without the asailahility of this simple gift that we each povsevs. we would he forced to return to the dark ages Blood can not he manu tac tu red or imported from far away lands, it is unique It ls the ultimate gift, and on ly you can provide this life saving miracle The only thing you will get from donating is a warm feeling in side knowing you are saving a life Take a few minutes from your day and share life Sincerely, (s) Jay Straley Laboratory Technician Pioneer Memorial Hospital Residents concerned over hotel project To the Editor To All Concerned AN>ut the Hepp ner Hotel Project It appears that this includes all the people in Hcppner those that wish the hotel project well and those that don't. There were several alternatives that the city could have pursued in stead of opting for the hotel renova tion To name a few | The city could have paid to tear the building down 2 As retired people continued to move away, adult jobs were lost, and children moved from the area, the people could have opted to shrink the city in si/c and lose the follow ing: a Doctors, hospital and drugstore h Full service hank c. Probably most of the businesses ex cepting a grocery store, restaurant and tavern This is happening all around us Do we want this ’ Do you really want to punish the people that are trying to preserve what we now have? The hotel project requires an im mense amount of cooperation, some of which has not been forthcoming Many pitfalls we have experienced, and that it takes time to solve, could readily have been avoided if this weren't the pioneer project for this type of facility Many communities are looking at how we solve these problems so they may benefit from our difficult path. None of this will he solved over night The properly tax situation will he addressed further The alternative to facilities like this one in our com munity is to warehouse our retired persons in urban areas where the ser vices would he available hut the amenities of life to which we are ac customed would not he Unfortunately, it dives take time for any business to get established When that time comes, the city will benefit immensely from the invest ment of time and energy (hat has been expended by many, many peo pie The 5500,(XX) grant (he city received to help fund the project does not go hack to (he government As that money is repaid by the rents, these funds stay in the community to fund other badly needed city pro jects Not a bad investment, is it? Sincerely (s) Margaret Murray Hcppner and lone Vote Yes on Measure 1 To the Editor: I urge all Oregonians to support Ballot Measure I on May 16 This measure will give up-to-date tax bases to'the one-third of our state's school districts who lack them If voters agree, it will bring much needed stability to Oregon schools and give every child a fair chance at a quality education. The measure also provides needed additional state funds for our poorest school districts and special help for students with severe handicaps A yes vote for Ballot Measure I is a vote for the future of our state Please join me in making Oregon schools the best possible (s) Verne A Duncan State Superintendent of Public Instruction Milwaukic. Oregon The Russian wheal aphid is building in numbers There have been several fields sprayed this spring and many more will need it, I am sure So far. the aphids are appearing only in the fields that hosted them before, such as early seeded tall wheat All of the aphids that are showing up in the survey that Dick Jackson, Oregon Department of Agriculture entomologist, is conduc ting arc wingless None have wing pads This means that they arc not yet moving to new crops, like the spring wheat But keep sampling those fields, anyway This report is always about a week behind and you may have aphids without knowing it When you sample a field looking for the aphids, look for APHIDS, not for wheat with symptoms Pull a random number of plants from the field and take them hack to the truck As you examine the plants, pull them apart and really lm>k closely for aphids Use a hand lens Field sampling should really he done once a week, or oftener once you discover the aphid in the field Economic threshold levels for the Russian wheat aphid are between 5% and 20** On new grains, such as spring wheat, the lower threshold should be used On well tillered grain which is heading out. use 20*1 After the wheat has reached the soft dough stage of growth, further treatments arc not recommended The aphid is a small, pale green insect without cornicles and with very short antennae. If you are in doubt about identification of any in sect you find in the field, bring it by the Extension office for positive identification Ç UH i 'J Pipeline, a peer-leadership program is be ing used in grades K-8 at Heppner Elemen tary School.
