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

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

Instruction

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
