viding a much-needed and much-
appreciated service to students at
Heppner Junior High School. 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

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?

Wavel

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

of fell for each other.
Wavel has since received two
notes from the Marks. Following is

an excerpt from their letter to her:
Dear Wavel,
We made it. We could not have
had such a great trip if it hadn’t been
fbr your wonderful hospitality.
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.
