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,

Boys Will Play
They were at it again Monday and
they acted the same, “ If you don’t play
my way I’ll take my ball and go
home.” Generally boys grow out of
that self centered way. 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.
