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. Straley

Hard Choices
The Port of Morrow is on the verge
of announcing their involvement in a
new industrial site near Heppner. 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.
