lights For people being operated on,

For hemophiliacs so they can be as
normal as possible For daredevils,
for people undergoing dialysis while
wailing for a kidney transplant. For
people who fool amund with guns
For little kids who manage to uncap
a bottle of something poisonous For
people who arc burned pretty bad,
for new mothers needing a transfu
sion. for babies who need a complete
change of their blood supply For
people having open heart surgery.

Bill at PMH seems excessive
To the Editor
I feel I must write and let the pe»>-
ple of this area know what kind of
rip offs they're getting from their
local health care
I received a bill from Pioneer
Memorial Hospital for an emergen
cy room visit for myself for a sim
pic case of the flue The only reason
I went to the hospital was for
medication for the nausea It cost me
over 5400 for approsimatcly three
hours (most of the time was spent
roaming around them not me) Not
to mention I was charged for the
medication on top of being charged
for them to give me the medication
•For the past three weeks over
134 Morrow County bth graders
have enjoyed learning about the
forest resources during Outdoor
School Each school spent one week
along with their teachers and high
school counselors at Tuppcr Work
Center, a forest service facility
located in the Heppner district Dur
ing the week (he youngsters learned
about the environment including
fish & wildlife, range, soils, water
sheds. timber, recreation and other
resources
One day was spent at Hull Prairie
learning aquatic life, wilderness sur
vival and nature study

area now open tor wiMuJcutting It is

By this time next week this family

T

high school graduation What with

Francie teaching at the high school, it
won't he the first, she * always been
excited to see her students make that
important march across the stage
This year will he special though One
of those young pcxiplc marking that
milestone will be our own son
The I khisc will he full of relatives,
mosi bearing potluck. intending to stay
overnight All will be involved in
Hs Fd Glenn
tedious planning, when to dress, when
to leave, who sleeps where, all that
stuff that goes with a house full There will be a stack of gifts, some have
already arm ed from those who cannot attend, and explanations about future
plans will be repeated over and over
But only two of us will feel the sense of pndc only parents feel when
the kid turns out good Only two of us will be sad knowing the youngster
we have nourished all these years will now lease the nest and go on his
own We ll know he can but always want to be there to help
It had to be only yesterday that 1 had my first glimpse of number one
son. just minutes old So tiny they come I thought But I knew this was
a keeper because he was all mouth, powered by a good set of lungs and
by the volume of the yowl, I knew he had the determination to make a
go in this world
And determined that boy is He was walking at eight months talking
at less than a year and his math education was well along long before he
ever saw a school room Like his father (and unlike his mother) our son
has never been particularly athletically talented It was determination, not
athletic ability that got him through years of Little league baseball Ditto
for his role as football and basketball manager all lour years at Riverside
He was just as determined to pursue some of the bad habits all kids try
at one time or another it took equal determination and greater ingenuity
to overcome those errant pursuits
Looking back over the years. I suppose I regret as many failures as other
fathers do. I regret not taking him fishing more than I did. but the darned
kid caught more and bigger fish than I ever time I did 1 regret I didn t
take him hunting more I don't know of anything I enjoyed more than hun
ting as a young man though I've nearly given that up in recent years
I regret I didn't learn his sport, golf, which he pursues with that same
distinctive determination
But with the regrets there is some pride in the things we did do. Eight
years ago. he worked side by side with the much older and bigger boys
we hired to help put in the vineyard Just like his father before him. years
ago on another farm, the bosses son assumed the bosses role when
necessary
And just a couple of years ago he became a willing and productive wood
worker After school, weekends and during the summer, young son could
be counted on to help out in the box company, at a wide variety ot tasks
and to do them all well. Over the years he's learned to do and has done
nearly every necessary job at the winery He even learned a most critical
lesson sort of by accident while we were bottling one afternoon
But by far the greatest pride his mother and I take is in hav ing raised
an inquisitive mind Our son's curiosity is immense, sometimes without
his even knowing it We feel great pride in instilling in him in the value
of knowledge His tendency is toward mathematics and science but he also
studies business, computers and the like
Maybe it was the model rockets we made and launched years ago. maybe
it was the movie Star Wars, but he wants to be an Aerospace Engineer
and design space ships He has a gtxxl foundation to pursue such a career
That's why high schixil graduation will be special at our house this year
Our own will be there on the stage And his diploma will mean an unpor
tant step toward a lifctunc of dreams
I'm not so naive as to believe other fathers have not felt as I do. It's
only special because it's me and mine this tunc

To the Editor:
This letter to you is a plea to the
people of Morrow County to contact
their United Stales Senator regarding
the situation in Panama
This is a personal issue for me
My sister and her family arc there
Her hushand is in the Airforce and
assigned to the air base in Panama
City They live on base and arc at
least ‘safe’ there but for how long
They have been told to stay inside
their homes School for the children
is cancelled, her husband goes to
work at another base by armed
transport, and there are constant
riots outside the gates of the housing
What we see on the news is a
media-wash They don't show the
Americans being arrested by the
PDF (Panamanian Defense Forces)
(hen jailed , and beaten. The
American Officii!« -(»»•• fin<| them

I don’t think people of Morrow
County realize when they receive
care from PMH they are paying ikiu-
blc to make up for the low volume
of patients as compared to a larger
hospital which for us is not to far
away I would much rather drive to
Hermiston where I'd receive better
care and cheaper cost to me
I’ve made my decision on where
I am going to get my health care and
it isn't Heppner I hope this helps
you make a wiser choice for your*
also
Sincerely,
