Printer David and April Sykes, Publishers Letters to the Editor Dogs run lose, children at stake To the Editor: I have turned in four or five com plaints of dog at large on a neighbor’s black lab, one of the dogs running in a pack in my previous let ters to the editor. Apparently the owner can afford the fines or feels the leash law does not apply to him. At 8:50 p.m. last Friday Sept. 13, 1 heard two boys yelling. This black lab had them trapped in a farm truck at Skagg’s Auto Clinic. I had to chase the dog home to get the boys, about 10 years old, out of the truck. Must one of our children get maimed or killed before our city council will do anything? Parents, this is not a one man bat tle. Your children are at stake. (s) Lyle R. Verrall Heppner Group involved in anti-drug, alcohol program To the Editor: What are the people of Heppner and Lexington doing about drug and alcohol abuse among and with our children? Anything? Something? or nothing? Everyone that I talk with about drug and alcohol abuse among our children thinks that it ought to stop, but nobody knows who is do ing anything to reduce the problem among our children. In the late spring of 1990, a core group of citizens like former mayor o f Heppner Cara Costa, Ron Bowman, Sheriff Drago, Corrine Lindsay, John M urray, Doug ' Rathbun. Jeff Wallace and Mike Wsiaski-people involved in city and county government, education, and law enforcement, selected a board of other community minded people such as Bobbie Angell, Nella Britt, Liz Curtis, Barb Peterson, Ronda Wallace, Joe Pimentel and myself to attend training sessions. One three- day event in the fall and one two day event in March. Both were held in Pendleton on “ Oregon Together C om m unities for Drug Free Youth” . These sessions were con ducted by members of the Oregon Prevention Resource Center, an agency related to Oregon State Of fice of Alcohol and Drug Abuse and the University of Washington School of Social Work. Since the board members' fall training sessions, we have been busy learning about the causes and effects of drug and alcohol abuse and assessing the risk factors in the com munity. We have looked at programs and agencies that address these issues, as well as try to develop an overall plan that will reduce (I wish we could totally eliminate the pro blem, but realistically that is im possible, but we can reduce it.) The Lexington/Heppner Oregon Together Board and Core Group has been busy gathering the necessary data. We are also working with the local Red Ribbon Week Committee for events the week of October 15-23. It may seem like not much has been happening, but already the peo ple involved have learned that drug and alcohol abuse is out of hand in these quiet rural communities. We will in the future be asking for your support and help with the main Oregon Together Project and with the short term programs. Will you be one to stand up and be counted as one who wants our communities drug and alcohol free for our children. (s) Rev.
