Publishers Letters to the Editor Contributions demonstrate belief in young people To the Editor: The bad news is that the cost of a college or technical education is rising rapidly and such an education has never been more needed. The good news is that the residents and friends of Morrow County, especial ly in Heppner, continue to give generous financial support to their graduating seniors. This year a total of 48 awards were given to the graduating class of Heppner High School. All but five of those awards came from the community. 1 would like to acknowledge those individuals, businesses, friends and groups who have given time and resources to help our youth. These are the American Legion Auxiliary of Heppner, Heppner Boosters Club, Heppner Elks Lodge, Heppner Lions Club, International Woodworkers of America Local #3-312, Kinzua Cor poration, Port of Morrow, family and friends of Jean Collins, Mike Currin, Monte and Sharon Stookey and Charles Kyd, Dr. Richard and Kristie Carpenter, Morrow County Education, Morrow County 4 H Leaders, Pioneer Memorial Hospital Foundation, Soroptimist Interna tional of Heppner, Heppner High School Student Council, Blue Moun tain Community College, Columbia Basin Conference and the Carl W. Troedson Foundation. Earning the dollars to maintain a scholarship fund often takes a lot of hard work This effort demonstrates your belief in our youth. As I work ed with the seniors this year I felt your time and effort was well spent. These young people will become the future workers and leaders in our communities. Several of them hope to return to small communities vhen they have com pleted their educations. Education past high school is ex pensive and can become discourag ing to fund. Through membership in various organizations and through memorials you have made further education of our young people a priority. The number of Heppner High School graduates who further their education and succeed con tinues to be high. Through your hard work and contributions you have been a part of their success. Sincerely, (s) Liz Curtis, Counselor Heppner High School Enjoys “ As I See It” column To the Editor: Dear Ed Glenn, 1 have been wanting to write to you and tell you how much the wife and I enjoy your “ As I See It” in the Heppner paper.

Now I understand that it’s the conservatives that agree with that. And if you disagree, like I did, you’re supposed to be a liberal. Well, how about that. When it comes to an individual’s right to be free from oppressive government I find, after all these years, that I’m a bleeding liberal. On that issue, I’m so liberal I make the most Democrat of Democrats look like mishy mashy moderates. I’m first in line to punish the guilty. But doggone, I hate to think of society killing an innocent man. The old adage that it’s better to turn a 100 guilty men free than to punish one innocent one certainly has some basis for thought. Well, you can imagine my chagrin this morning to discover that I’m pretty liberal on this one issue. I’m beginning to worry that if I’m not what I seem on this issue, could there be others? Could I be liberal on child care? Social Security? the homeless? Could it be that part of the time I’m conservative and part of the time I’m liberal so that you’d really call me conservative? It’s hell to be 50 and not even know how you feel about things.

Center 4NAPAI Heppner 30C YOU CANT BEAT OUR DEAL SHERRELL CHEVROLET Whitfield Pellet Stove * Heppner Once in a while a fella finds out som- thing about himself that is a real sur prise. You’d think that after 50 years, you’d know yourself pretty well. You know what makes you mad, you know what makes you laugh. If you think about it a little bit, you know how you feel about things. You know if you believe in God, and if so, what it is you believe about God. After being married to the same woman for 25 years, you have a pretty good idea about how you feel about her. And raising a couple of kids until they’re about to fly the coop, you have a pretty good idea about how you feel about them, too. And if you’re like me, you think about government quite a bit. So much so that you’ve pretty well decided what it is you think and feel about the things government does. And what it doesn’t do and ought to do and such like that. For those of us who have made up their minds about what government ought to do and not do, there’s labels to describe those decisions. On the one hand there’s conservatives. That describes folks who think govern ment ought to sit back and let the people do things for themselves where they can. And then there’s liberals. They think government ought to jump in and take care of the people in every way, from cradle to grave. Then, of course, there’s moderates. Some say those are the folks who hold views somewhere in between the conservatives and the liberals. I sometimes think that moderates are those folks who can’t make up their minds about what they think. Well, anyway, long ago I decided I was a conservative. Dyed-in-the- wool, hard case conservative. I don’t want government doing anything that private folks can do for themselves. And taxes, boy I’m death on taxes. I want government to squeeze every nickel ‘till the—well, you know. I even joined the Republican Party because they said that’s where the conservatives go. Well, blow me away. I was reading the paper this morning and found out I’ve got a big wide liberal streak running right through my mid-section. You see, I was reading about a recent Supreme Court decision that says a criminal defendant, convicted of murder and sentenced to death cannot raise the issue of government misconduct in a second Writ of Habeas Cor pus. Here’s the case: This fella is convicted of murder at a trial in which the key witness lies. He’s sentenced to die. On appeal he cannot raise the issue of the witness lying because you can’t challenge the jury’s finding of fact on appeal. After the appeal, he files the first writ and claims the witness lied. The court said “ Well, that was for the jury to figure out.” After the first writ is heard he first learns that not only did the witness lie, but the prosecutor (the government man in this case) knew he was going to lie and in fact encouraged him to do so. So, the fella files the second writ. Now understand, if this key witness had told the truth, it looks like the guv really wasn’t even anywhere about, which is what he claims.
