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.

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?

Seeks Chinook jargon speakers

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.

Chamber Chatter
By Claudia Hughes. 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.”

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.
