In response to a request from Linda Shaw, reading specialist at the school, several ladies volunteered to read and record on tape material that students might have difficulty reading. Textbooks are often difficult for students who read below grade level, and stories and novels studied in literature are often difficult for many students because o f advanced vocabulary and complicated syntax. It is very helpful for a student to listen to someone read the material while reading along. The student can Heppner-Florida come together in Cycle III When friends told Wavel Wilkin son of Heppner to “ lock her doors and windows” when the bicyclists from Cycle III came through town, she did what any cautious person would do-right? W rong. Wavel prom ptly volunteered to house two of the cyclists. What she didn’t bargain on, however, was that the couple assign ed to her had a nine-week old baby. The couple, Julie and Lee Mark, and their baby. Hunter, were all the way from Miami,Fla. They had flown to Oregon, rented a van and drove first to Umatilla and then to Pendleton to begin the bike tour. From Pendleton, Julie drove the van with the baby and Lee traveled on bicycle. And when they got to Hepp ner Wavel and the Marks just sort of fell for each other. Wavel has since received two notes from the Marks.

Heppner was without a doubt the warmest welcome for all of the riders. Our second favorite was Corvallis. Hunter loved Oregon and so did we. As a matter of fact we are seriously looking at a parcel of land directly on the Pacific Ocean. Oregon is a real place with real peo ple and we really enjoyed our trip. My mom and dad met us in Sisters. We had so much fun golf ing with Hunter. We also went on to Gold Beach after the ride. Cycle Oregon ended. We took Hunter Salmon fishing. We caught a 20 lb. salmon and we flew it home to Miami. We all enjoyed it. Wavel we will be in touch. Thanks again for your warm hospitality. Julie, Lee and Hunter OFF THE WALL Garbage plague of modern day society S if By Merlyn Robinson Garbage, any tiling worthless or unnecessary is the plague of our modern- day universe. Now it’s even floating around in outer space. What some people won’t do to escape increasing garbage disposal rates. I never used to think in terms of life being one long struggle against be ing buried by one’s own collectable junk. But after a recent stab at being a professional garbage column peddler I look at things a bit different. For instance, do I really need a dozen pairs of shoes that are trying to jump out of the closet or the strays that are parked where I’m sure to stum ble over them during a late night safari? Maybe its because of such a long dry fall season; everywhere you look something needs to be disposed of including dirt, newspapers and wishful thinking. My office-bedroom needs a new carpet. But it would take Hercules to remove a large desk, files and stacks of ’’valuable stu ff’ not to mention conventional bedroom furniture. When you buy new articles of clothing, you should throw away an old shirt or two— right? But my miserly thinking deems that cast-offs are too good for the rag bag. And the only way I’d offer them to Goodwill would be to stash them in a black garbage bag and cast that bag at their back door during a very dark night. Who am I kidding by saving all those mayonnaise jars? I don’t really intend to do lots of canning anymore. And it’s fortunate that we seldom eat TV dinners or I’d have a stack of aluminum trays equal to my hoard of margarine cartons. It’s even a sacrilege in this house to throw away a crust of bread unless it’s soaked in grease to be fed to the cats. Unmovable objects (by me)—such as old vehicles, appliances and other rustables that add a homey touch to the landscape-are a scourge to the coun tryside. Too bad there isn’t a handy machine monster that smashes and grinds them to bits; then one could use that material to fill in the potholes in our road. Now a days it’s necessary to think if materials are biodegradable, a pollu tant or just plain hazardous waste. All our garbage becomes a hazard that pollutes our lives and seldom degrades. I donate paint cans to a bottomless hole that has proven to be a hazard to livestock health. But these cans haven’t contained paint with a lead ad ditive as I wouldn’t want to poison the badger that started this underground cavern. It’s easy to become a can smasher for recycling purposes. They take less space and its also a good way to take out your flustrations when you can’t stomp on the real source of your anger. And around here newspapers get saved and saved-in case I missed something. At least in the days of the shanty way out back, expired catalogs became a recycled necessity. When I don’t find what I forgot I was looking for in the bottom of a well- stuffed closet. I review the tossed-out loot and try to determine if they fall in the PCB category, which to me is “ perfectly good cohesive bounty.” Never complain, I’m told, unless one can offer a solution. So I’m pro moting a house-cleaning exchange; you come and throw away the stuff I can’t seem to part with and I’ll ravage your valuable collections.
