P u b lis h e r s Letters to the Editor Fly flags til victory To the Editor: The American Legion fully sup ports our troops in the Gulf. Any merchant on Main Street who wishes to fly a flag daily on the bracket pro vided by the Legion may do so by calling Amie Hedman, 676-9278. You may keep your flag and fly it every day until victory is attained through our support and prayers for a safe return of our loved ones. (s) Arnie Hedman American Legion Heppner Military only means of stopping Hussein To the Editor: First let me say I'm a Navy cor- psman attached to a Marine artillery unit from Kaneohe Bay. Hawaii. I have been in the service since 1986 and have attended many combat medicine and combat survival courses during the last four years. Most of my training and time in the service has been to team how to keep my fellow service members alive should we ever go to or be re quired in a combat area. I'm writing because my unit’s been deployed to Saudi Arabia for the last four months and we’ve received hundreds of letters from people giving their support to us. These letters have really helped restore some of our beliefs in the people at home after seeing reports and articles in the newspapers say ing we have no right to be here. I believe we do have a right to be here because no country in the world should just take over another if it wants. If we allowed this what would have Hitler done after he had taken Europe and northern Africa? Well, Saddam Hussein is doing the same thing. Where would he have stopped after Kuwait, in Yemen? No, the military is the only means of stopping this man and replacing Kuwait to its proper place in the Middle East. For the many military members who are refusing to come here, is it because of beliefs or fears of war? The United States is a great nation and always will be. If Iraq had in vaded California instead of Kuwait would people still refuse to fight if need be. or ask only that he leave peacefully? (s) Rodger J. Arndt II Alpha Btry 1st BN 12th MAR FPO San Francisco, CA 96608 Seeks Chinook jargon speakers 1 * -.vnm fioH y To the Editor: Klahowya tillicums! Kumtux Chinook wawa? I am currently conducting research in the extent to which Chinook jargon was used in British Colum bia and the Pacific Northwest dur ing the nineteenth and early twen tieth centuries. Many people used the jargon not only for spoken com munication but also in writing, for correspondence, to keep diaries, even for invitations and poetry. If you or your family have in your possession any letters, memoirs, or >i other written material eifhfct wholly or partly in jargon, of beridfring to it, and would be willing to allow me to examine it, please contact me at the address below. If you, or so meone you know, can speak Chinook jargon, I would be even more delighted to hear from you. (s) Barbara Harris Department of Linguistics University of Victoria Box 3045, Victoria, B.C.

Chamber Manager ‘‘Leapin’ Leprechauns", the city of Heppner’s annual St. Patrick’s celebration is but seven weeks away. Busy committee chairpersons were on hand at last Thursday’s meeting to report on 1991 plans. New this year will be a lamb cook-off and a craft fair offering handmade items Soroptimists should be contacted by those wishing to have a table. The Irish family was selected by commit tee vote, ducks have been ordered, auction items are being solicited, host families are needed for the Irish musicians and dancers from County Cork (contact Norma French), and excitement is in the air. It is hoped that everyone will take part in the Thursday night dance workshop given by the Irish visitors...young and the young at heart can learn all types of dances, including the Irish sit dancing. Friday night a concert will be offered directly after Mrs. O'Leary's Irish stew. Once the visitors depart on Saturday for Portland, the Whamadiddle Dingbats and others will take over with more Irish music. We hope one and all will kick off spring vacation with a “ Wee Bit O’ Ireland” in Heppner. Next week will be Chamber’s business meeting with 1991 goals presented for approval and auction plans getting underway. Items are needed and will be picked up upon request. The success of future St. Patrick’s celebrations depends on Heppner’s annual auction each year to provide funds for prizes, enter tainment, parade, etc. Take advan tage of these cold crisp days to clean out a basement, garage, or attic or to offer your services as an auction item.. Jim Farley’s beans have been a hit in the past. Thought for the week: “ A good laugh heals a lot of hurts.” Heppner Police ____Report The Heppner Police department reports handling the following business during the past week: January 21: 1:25 p.m.-assist Hospital.

They had a quiz on tack. The members had to judge a Quarterhorse class. Picture Perfect Photographers By Shaun Hisler, Reporter The Picture Perfect Photographers held a meeting on January 13 at Susie Hisler’s house. President Jodi Johnston called the meeting to order and Sara Greenup took roll. Leaders Susie Hisler and Judy Barber showed everyone how to load their cameras with film and talked about maintenance of the camera. Members took their first pictures in portrait settings, using other members as subjects. Those attending watched a movie on how to take action photos, which include a lot of different sports. The meeting was adjourned and members played some basketball. Fun We’ve had a couple of birthdays at our house this past week. Harold was 20 on Saturday and Laurel was 17 on Monday. The habit has been to have just one birthday party on the day in between That’s when the family and friends help celebrate. Then on each kid’s birthday, just the four of us celebrate. All together that makes three birthday parties each year. Not only are the parties fun, but wat ching the kids grow up has been even more fun. We’ve learned a little about raising kids over the years, so I thought I’d pass some of it along. Maybe it will help smooth way for some of you. Rule 1. Expect a lot from your kids, Laurel was bom without a thyroid gland. That could have made her a physically and mentally retarded cretin. But she had a good pediatrician who made an early diagnosis and got her on the right medication at the right time and she’s fine. She also had some pretty heads-up help in Susan Tolar’s elementary school. We didn't cut her any slack and expected a lot from her. She can’t be too badly affected, she was both freshman and JV cheerleader at Riverside. Rule 2. Don’t expect too much. Harold is the family business bookkeeper charged with keeping accounts receivable, payable, income and expenses up to date. That includes paying the bills and keeping the checkbook balanc ed. I wrote a couple of checks and forgot to write them down in the check register so he has hidden the checkbook from me. Don’t expect your kids to cut you any slack for those old habits that need to be broken. Rule 3. Never be surprised. I had a role as a ringmaster in a high school play called “ Carnival” several years back. The magician required a member of the audience upon whom he would play a trick and Francie volunteered. The trick was sort of embarrassing and when it was over, in a lull in the laughter, then four-year old Laurel spoke up ‘Fire that guy. Daddy." She got the big laugh. Rule 4. Never under estimate your kids’ loyalty. Harold learned to manage the stage lighting and to operate the video camera for the athletic department when he was a freshman. Every ball game for four years he shot videos for the coaches to review. Now, two years after graduation, he’s still shooting football games and working the lights for stage productions. Rule 5. Never give up. Laurel has been helping her mother in the kit chen for years and has certain little jobs that she is always expected to do. But she always needs reminding that they are hers to do and that they are ready to be done now. Harold would never do any homework for his classes at BMCC if he was not reminded to do so. On the other hand, both of them are more likely to remember their mother’s birthday or our anniversary than I am. Rule 6. Always pay attention to the kids. Neither Francie nor I realized ther seriousness of Laurel’s love affair with a Hermiston boy until we got the phone bill. I had no idea the extent of Harold’s comic book collection until I fell over a stack of boxes, all full of comic books. Nor did I realize the reason for the collection until he sold some for $25 each. Kids quickly develop the practice of announcing an intention to do something during the intense part of the TV news. They claim tacit approval from your silence Altogether raising kids has been the best part of living the past 20 years. I’m proud of mine. Happy when they emulate some of my habits, unhap py when they mimic others. You know what I mean. There have been times of frustration, anger, disappointment. But mostly it has been joy wat ching two young people grow into adults that I can admire. Could be because they are a lot like me. Birthdays are fun.
