Bindery i David and April Sykes, Publishers Letters to the Editor Thanks to blood donors To the Editor; I would like to take this opportuni ty to thank everyone involved in the June 13 American Red Cross Blood Drive. We went beyond our goal of 50 donors and got 58. These wonderful people took time out of their busy schedules to help us all. We also made our goal of 20 bone marrow donor candidates. “ Thank you,” to Murrays Rexall Drug and Kates Pizza for the discount coupons that each donor and volunteer receiv ed. Everyone was pleased to get them. The Heppner Elks offered their beautiful facility for our use. The entire staff was pleasant and helpful in setting up and cleaning up. All of you helped to make it a very successful blood drive. Last, but certainly not least, are all the volunteers that sacrificed a day in the sun to help us. They all learn ed quickly and worked very hard. Sheridan and Alecia Tamasky spent a lot of time rounding up volunteers both at the hospital and the high school. We could not have done it without you, thanks. Jay Straley deserves a special thanks After helping all day at the blood drive he took the bone mar row donor candidates blood samples all the way to Portland that night. The 20 samples had to be at the Am erican Red C ross C entral Distribution center by 10 p.m. Then he came back to Heppner in time for work on Thursday. That is above and beyond the call of duty. The Red Cross Bloodmobile will return again the first part of December. We hope to see you all there again. This time bring a friend and we can really exceed our goal. We know there are lots of you out there not donating, there’s nothing to it and it helps us all. Thank you everyone and see you in December. (s) Lori E.

The arrangement will include a new ap proach to site development which will supplement the Port’s array of tools to assist industrial development. That ar rangement will add a great deal to the Port’s capacity. The Port is making good on its pro mise to actively engage in industrial development in South County when it proposed a general obligation bond issue last fall. And doing so in a way that will be particularly effective. There remains only one small thing. The Port cannot do the job alone. The best that the Heppner area can hope for is a little help in doing what the community wants done. An in dustrial site, with all the sewer, water, roads and other amenities develop ment means nothing with out a plan from the community. The Port has tremendous tools to help, but help is all there is. The community has some hard choices to make. And must make them soon. As I see it, smoke stack factories providing real family wage jobs are inconsistent with the pristine beauty that promotes tourism. Retirement communities with iarge social development for medical services are in consistent with young working families with needs for schools and youth services. Tourism, that requires young, low-paid employees is inconsis tent with both retirement communities and production working people No community can be all things to all people. If a plan is to surface, then priorities must be set. If the community is to be a working man’s town, with production jobs that will support a family and have schools, churches and civic organizations, then efforts and resources to that end cannot be diverted to promote tourism If tourism is the goal, thought must be given to the living accommodation and recruitment of the kind of employees a tourism economy requires Establishment of these priorities will be difficult. It will mean telling some of your friends and neighbors ‘no. ’ While it will be basically a local task, some consideration must be given others in the County. By reason of our County, School District and Port District boundaries, we are bound to each other beyond our own communities. But the process must take place unless we are willing to allow our communities to take on a character just by chance. Taking the line of least resistance is, of cource, the easy way out. But the result may be the most undesirable one As soon as the Port’s new site is announced, even before, the communi ty should start drawing a plan for its use. Target uses for the site should be narrowed down, consistent with an overall community goal. Specific developers should be identified. A complete list of community assistance and incentives (including those available from the Port and industry) should be drawn. Then a group of community leaders must hit the road to sell the develop ment proposal. Without a well thought out community plan, development of the new site will rely on a developer dropping in out of the wood-work. And that might be years. And his proposal will certainly not meet the approval of all the community. (Because there will be no consensus.) Controversy will arise and may stay with the community well into the next century. Worse, no development may take place well into the next century. The Port of Morrow will meet its obligation. But it cannot do the whole job. The Heppner community with a little help from the rest of the county must now do its part.
