Letters to the Editor
Disagree with hiring
To the Editor:
This letter is in regards to action
taken by the Morrow County School
Board at the October board meeting.
At that meeting both the head custo
dian and assistant custodian positions
at Heppner High School were filled.
Betty Christman has, at one time
or another, filled both these positions
for more than two years as a tem
porary employee. During that time
we have had the opportunity to
observe her job performance and
feel that she has done an outstanding
job as both a temporary head custo
dian and as a temporary assistant
custodian.
It is our understanding that she
was recommended as the number
one choice for the assistant custodian
position by her immediate super
visor, who has observed her work
for the past two years. We are at a
loss as to understand why the board
has chosen not to retain such a
valued employee.
Betty has successfully worked
both at the junior high school and the
high school for the past 20 years, and
it does not seem logical to not follow
the recommendation of her super
visor and hire a different applicant.
If you also have concerns or ques
tions about this issue please contact
your Morrow County School Board
members: Alan Holmes, chairman.

Offers non-alcoholic holiday drinks
To the Editor:
As we all get ready to celebrate
Thanksgiving with family, relatives,
and friends let us remember that
there is an alternative to alcoholic
drinks, such as non-alcoholic drinks.
Let me share two of them with you.
This one called, ‘Citrus Berry
Slush' was created by Shiela Cates
of Norcross, GA, a winner of the
Sunkist SADD Recipe Contest.
CITRUS BERRY SLUSH
1 pint fresh strawberries (could be
frozen)
2 cups vanilla ice cream
xh cup fresh squeezed orange juice
Vi cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
Vi to Vi cup sugar
1 cup crushed ice cubes
Grated Peel of one lemon
Lemon peel and strawberries for
garnish
Reserve 3 or 4 berries for garnish.
Hull, slice and puree the remaining
berries in a blender to yield 1 cup.
In blender combine puree and re
maining ingredients, except lemon
and strawberry garnish. Blend until
smooth. Garnish each serving with
lemon peel and a slice or whole
strawberry on straw. Makes about 4
cups (four 8-ounce or 3-11 ounce
servings).
With sharp knife of zzester, cut
narrow ( ‘A inch) strips of peel from
two lemons in a circular fashion. Cut
four 8 to 10 inch length strips. For
each garnish, curl peel around straw
and attach to toothpick seared with
a strawberry; insert toothpick in top
of straw, so that berry sits on top of
straw.
Our second suggestion is called
‘Leslie’s Mock Libation’. Leslie
Melchert of Des Plaines, II was
another Sunkist SADD Recipe
C

¥
Winner.
LESLIE’S MOCK LIBATION
1 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
(3-4 oranges)
2 or 3 tangerine or orange segments
1 tablespoon vanilla yogurt
xh teaspoon orange-flavored gelatin
(dry)
<.ol
ii
Orange, grapefruit and/or tangerine
s e g m e n ts
and fresh mint leaves for garnish
♦Prepare glass
In blender combine all ingredients
except garnish, blend until smooth.
Pour into prepared glass and garnish
with 3 citrus segments threaded on
a long wooden skewer. Top drink
with mint, if desired. Makes a one
9 ounce serving.
♦Chill tall (10-12 ounce) glass in
freezer. Turn frosted glass upside-
down on small amount of additional
orange-flavored gelatin to coat rim
of glass; return to freezer.
It is possible to substitute some of
the fresh citrus fruits with frozen
ones and still have a fairly nice non
alcoholic drink.
I am sure your family, friends and
relatives would enjoy these non
alcoholic drinks, especially if they
want to enjoy your good company
and fine Thanksgiving dinner. It is,
after all, one good way to have a safe
Thanksgiving holiday. The members
and friends of Heppner/Lexington
Oregon together want to wish you a
nice Thanksgiving.

Water And
People
We drove to Portland today, and
back. Two things stuck in my mind.
Water and people.
You never saw so much water down
the Gorge this morning. It was falling
out of the sky the whole way and places
as hard as I’ve ever seen. Even brand
new windshield wipers set on high
couldn’t keep up. The Gorge always
makes me think of water. The Colum
bia empties more water into the ocean
than all but a half dozen rivers in the
world. It drains a land mass that
spreads across several states and into
I
By Ed Glenn
Canada. And it uses that water to
generate most of the electricity used in
the Pacific Northwest and to irrigate a huge chunk of what would other
wise be desert.
Barges on the Columbia transport more than nine million tons of cargo
and fishermen, water skiers and sail-boaters use her for play. In eons past,
the Columbia flooded most of the Inland Empire, but then she cut through
the great Cascade Range to make the very Gorge we traveled this morning.
Awesome. Awesome indeed. The mighty Columbia and the rain. Rain
all the way to Portland in the wee hours of the morning today and part
of the way back.
Oh, by the way, the Columbia also serves as a runway between Idaho
and the ocean for a few select fish. I couldn’t help but wonder: What’s
more important, irrigation of thousands of acres of farm land, generation
of millions of kilowatts of electricity, barge transportation of millions of
tons of cargo, or a few Idaho fish? We need to decide.
You can’t think about water all the time when you drive to Portland
in the morning. You begin to think about people. Those people who drive
all those cars and live in all those houses and work in all those office
buildings. What is it about people that they want thousands and thousands
of others up close around them. Why do they flock together in a few cities
and leave the rest of the countryside so sparsely settled. Do people have
a herding instinct?
I didn’t even get into downtown Portland until I decided to be glad that
all those folks do live there. That means they don’t live where I do. I think
a regular morning commute down the Banfield Freeway could turn a per
son, especially me, into a raving idiot. (Some say an irregular morning
commute two miles into Boardman has already done that.)
This herding instinct is pretty close on the money. Even folks in Eastern
Oregon have got it—the city of Condon advertises for a few good residents;
the city of Heppner is open for visitors even if they only ride a bike; the
cities of Boardman and Hermiston are intent on building more jobs for
more people; the city of Pendleton wants a half a million to visit every
year. All those folks wanting to expand the herd a little bit.
Is the only sane place Joseph? They refused to approve a new subdivi
sion because it would destroy a pristine landscape. They also refused to
mine coal because it would destroy some scrub timber rangeland. And
years ago they sent Union Pacific packing off to Sun Valley.
Maybe the herd in Wallowa County is as big as it wants to be.
I used to live in Wallowa County. After today. I’m thinking I want to
go back.
