Printer David and April Sykes, Publishers Letters to the Editor Thanks for supporting programs To the Editor: November 17-23 is American Education Week. This year’s theme is “ Schools and Communities: Part ners for a Strong America” . With that, I thought it appropriate to recognize some of the businesses and service groups which have given me considerable support in the educa tional programs 1 coordinate. The Hands on Science program was started in Heppner three years ago. From the outset, the Heppner Masonic Order, First Interstate Bank, and the Morrow County Education Association have provid ed substantial contributions toward scholarships. These scholarships have allowed numerous students to participate in the Hands on Science program who otherwise might not have. The Hands on Science Early Sum mer Science program was started in 1990 thanks to the Morrow County Youth Commission. They provided nearly full tuition to preschool students in both Heppner and Board- man. This program also wouldn’t have been possible without the cooperation of the Heppner and Boardman Day Care Centers. I would also like to recognize all of the local businesses that have sup ported the Heppner Middle School Honor Card program. These are Or- wick’s Machine Shop, Gardner’s Men’s Wear, Bank of Eastern Oregon, Heppner Gazette-Times, M urray’s Drug Store, Central Market, Miller’s Mini Mart, Peter son’s Jewelers, The Shoe Box, Heppner Bowl, Our Place Cafe, Heppner Auto Parts, Court Street Market and Beecher’s. As schools thrive, our communi ty prospers, as children, learn all our futures brighten. Every community has one thing to be proud of-it’s our public schools and the education of its children. Thank you for suppor ting strong public schools and educa tional programs that help kids here in Heppner get a start on life. Sincerely, (s) Sarah Carlson HJH Science Teacher HOS Area Coordinator Hooray to Hardman Community To the Editor: We want to give a big “ hooray” to all the people of Hardman Com munity Grange. What a job they do all year, not only for the people who live in the area, but for those of us who visit during the deer and elk seasons. The breakfasts, dinners and the haunted house at Halloween are great. My husband and I have been camping at Anson Wright Park for 30 years during the deer and elk season and really enjoy the park. We have become friends with so many nice people in the Heppner area and look forward to returning to your town and community each year.

I’m not sure we’ll ever be the same. Training a new puppy is a lot dif ferent than raising yet another child, since puppies do so many things a new baby can't-at least before you can gain a little control. One way they are alike, though, is that neither puppies nor babies know when to sleep when they are brand new. Sleeping at night and being awake in the day time is something puppies have to learn. In fact, it’s something the whole family has to learn all over again. Sidney (that’s the puppy’s name) had never been away from her mam ma when she came to live with us. And I guess she was homesick most at night At least that’s when she cried the most. Well, she cried the first night. And everyone in the family tried to com fort her at one time or another during the night. I knew that was a mistake and we agreed not to do that anymore. When Sidney couldn't earn a little attention from crying, she yelped a little the second night. But we didn’t make the same mistake twice, you see, it was a different mistake. But with great personal discipline, the whole family is now retained to stay in bed all night long. Some nights it's even possible to sleep most of the time. Sidney, instead of learning to sleep, has learned to bark pretty good. Sidney’s eating habits need some correction too. Never having tasted dog's milk, I wasn’t sure whether cow’s milk would do. Sidney was cer tain Sidney's family had been eating, but somehow that was not right either. Sidney does like beef steak. And chocolate chip cookies are her favorite. Sidney has it figured out that only dogs eat dog food. At only seven or eight weeks of age, and since it’s nearly winter, Sidney has not been assigned living quarters out-of-doors. But there has been some effort to assign her out-of-doors bathroom facilities. That effort has fail ed, mostly. I remember a new puppy when I was a kid that dad kicked out the door every time he piddled on the floor. One time after he landed in the lawn, that puppy simply found a place to live in the wood shed. He never came back in the house again, and that suited dad just fine. Sidney doesn’t get kicked out the door, just cleaned up after. Maybe that’s a mistake too. But things will work out. Sidney is such a smart dog, and so cute. She cuddles up to every member of the family and we all look after her with affection. Puppies like to test their teeth and those little snags in everyone’s socks are evidence of that. Oh, I know, we should be training her not to do that either, but maybe it’s good for her little growing teeth. She still sleeps most of the day, but by evening, when everyone is home, she’s wide awake and just as playful as can be. I remember a child, or two, that was that way. Both of those kids turned out pretty good without much training so maybe Sidney will too. I really wish she would not put all those claw marks on the sofa when she climbs on it. though._____ Justice Court Report The Justice Court office at the courthouse annex building in Hepp ner reports handling the following business during the past week: Peter John Voodre, 35, The Dalles-No Tail Lights (towed trailer), $46 bail forfeited; Dwayne Hollis Staples, 48, Clackamas-Vehicle Registration Ex pired, fine; Charles Henry Peck, 20-Violation of the Basic Rule, 75 mph in z 55 mph zone, $46 fine; Dennis James Combs. 47, Steven son, WA-Expired Medical Examiner Certificate. $90 fine; T erry W ayne Lightle, 41, Heppner-Exceeding the Maximum Speed Limit, 72 mph in a 55 mph zone, $65 bail forfeited; Terry John Chard, 46, Hermiston- Failure to Use Safety Belt. $53 bail forfeited; Jay Calvin Looney. 42.
