Printer David and April Sykes, Publishers Letters to the Editor Hats off to anti-drug volunteers To the Editor: “ DRUG FREE AND PROUD” was the slogan of the 1991 Red Rib bon Week (October 20-26) Cam paign 1 would like to take my hat off to the staff and students of Hepp ner Elementary. Middle and High School who work hard and long hours to make our community aware of the need to keep; our community free of drugs and alcohol for your youth But it was not just the students and teachers that worked on the cam paign and pledge support and effort, it was town merchants, their employees, our city police, county sheriff and a host of citizens who made this week a success. We did a great thing together and if we con tinue to work in harmony, we can rid our community of the social ills that rob our community of one of its precious gifts—our youth. Thanks for your support and will ingness to help. Keep up the good work. The next meeting of the local Oregon Together Group will be November 8 at 1 p.m. at Hope Lutheran Chuch, if you want to help* stamp out this social menace then come and join us. Sincerely, (s) Rev. Stan Hoobing, Coordinator Heppner/Lexington Oregon Together Dedicated to preserving the Gorge To the Editor: As you may know, I am very con cerned about recent accidents and spills that have endangered the natural beauty and environment of some of our important waterw ays. 1 believe it is our responsiblity to do everything we can to protect our Columbia River Gorge from such accidents and spill damage. That’s why I've formed a new Tidew ater subisdiary called Tidewater Environmental Services (TES). This new company has been developed specifically to service the emergency environmental needs of all the industries operating in the Columbia River Gorge. In fact, TES is totally equipped and staffed to handle environmental emergencies anywhere on the Columbia/Snake River system. 1 believe that quick response is the key to minimizing the adverse effects of oil or chemical spills on our river. Tidewater Environmental Services is fully prepared to respond im- mediatley to any such on the Colum bia River. You see, the Columbia River Gorge is where we live and work. Protecting the beauty of this natural wonder is important to me. Here at Tidewater, we will continue to do everything we can to preserve the Columbia Gorge for future genera tions. Because, protecting our en vironment shouldn’t be an obliga tion... it should be a privilege. Sincerely, (s) Ray Hickey President Booster Club plans meeting Luthern church plans garage sale A Heppner Booster Club meeting will be Wednesday, November 6, at 7 p.m. in the home ec. room at the high school.

Nearly all of us have had to learn to give and take to compromise, to follow the majority rule. But some little boys never do learn. Especially the little boys who are a lit tle bigger, a little richer or a little meaner than the rest. These little boys leam how to bully their brothers and usually wind up getting their way. They don’t know what it is like to live in the shadow of a bully. By Ed Glenn The bully boys from Umatilla Coun ty courthouse were at it again on Monday. Some months ago the Umatilla County Commissioners wanted to fire East Central Oregon Association of Counties head Otto Schmidt. They demanded that he be canned on the spot. But the association, ECOAC for short, includes four other counties, five in all, and each county has a number of representatives on the board of directors. A vote of the board not only failed to terminate Schmidt, it renewed confidence in his leadership. The bully boys refused to accept that and threatened to pull out if they couldn't have their way. They even gave formal written legal notice. The flack caused two different chairmen of the ECOAC board to resign A major rhubarb grew out of the Umatilla commissioners attempt to unap point some of their own representatives who didn’t side with the bullies. One of the divisions of ECOAC gave notice that it was looking for another umbrella organization when Schmidt fired the division head Another of Schmidt’s employees flatly refused to follow orders right in front of the board of directors. So the five county heads shared by Morrow Countys’ Louis Carlson, worked out a compromise plan. Schmidt would stay six months to do the job he was hired to do and Umatilla County would stay in the fold. A special emergency board would run things in the mean time. Last week the boys from Wheeler County, “ no friends at all of the boys of Umatilla County” threw a monkey wrench in things by failing to ap prove this new streamline emergency board. Monday when the ECOAC executive committee and the proposed emergency board tried again to reach a compromise position the Umatilla county boys once again gathered the game ball and went home. No kid ding, they up and walked out in the middle of the meeting. If the peace talks in Madrid don’t go any better than this, well say, we’re in for another hundred years war. My mother, rest her soul, told me years ago to stay clear of the bullies. Give them wide berth and never cross a bully’s path. Somehow I learned from her that bullies are no fun to play with because they always have to win and if they don’t, well, they just take the ball and go home. Sooner or later the four little counties that get bullied all the time will wake up to that fact. Long ago they should have said “ good bye” when the bullies threatened to leave. True, ECOAC cannot exist without Umatilla County and the services it provides the other four counties will be lost. But I can’t imagine the bullies were letting much in the way of real ser vice get out of Umatilla County anyway. The bright side of it all may be that four little counties will discover that they can get along without the bullies from the east. From my father I learned about bullies too. He taught me that bullies fall a lot harder than the fellow who knows how to roll with the punches.
