Printer David and April Sykes, Publishers Letters to the Editor Dismayed at sight To the Editor: I just returned from the Ione- Heppner area. As I was leaving the lone area. I was very dismayed. I saw the ugliest junk pile on the right hand side and go ing back, there was that horrible mess again. I’m a proud graduate from the class of ‘37 at lone. I cease to be proud of it anymore. Seems like the “ good mayor” or some other council members have closed their eyes or they are operating like some of our con gressmen or senators. Passing the buck on to someone else. I do love my friends and relatives and it’s very important that something be done now and not next year. I will be watching on my next trip up. Sincerely, (s) Joyce Carlson Darst 1475 W 13 #6 Eugene, OR 97402 Thanks to St. Pat’ s volunteers To the Editor: Diana Ball and I wish to recognize all of the terrific volunteers who continue to work very hard to make Heppner’s St. Patrick’s weekend possible by donating time, talent, food, auc tion items, and individual monetary contributions. The St. Patrick’s committee stands alone and is composed of 29 commit tee members, a number of whom are realizing dollars for their organizations while contributing their particular talent to the weekend. Without their support, volunteer time, and help in deci sion making, the event would not occur and we will try to recognize each and everyone next week. There are some “ Just Because Volunteers” , who put their heart and soul into the event. They are “ compensated” by seeing all the visitors in Heppner and knowing that what they are doing is what puts the dollars into the commit tee so the annual event can con tinue on next year. Four events, plus a few private donations, business donations, and some event/concession donations fund the annual Wee Bit O’ Ireland Celebration. Special recognition for these four events goes to Cheri and Frank Lovgren “ the duck” and “ The Duck Squad” who do a fantastic job running the traditional O ‘Ducky Race; to Skip and Sandy Matthews who took over Tim Adams task of run ning the Calcutta and Bed race; the the “ clowns” and Soroptimist who sold the buttons and to the Heppner chamber volunteers for the auction, parade and organiz ing American Tours. A financial statement will be available at the wrap-up meeting April 1. Each year the celebration grows and requires more time, energy and expense. Next year the committee would like to bring back the Irish and have some rov ing entertainment for families and tour groups. Heppner Chamber supports the event with time and energy as it brings visitors to our community, thus increasing business on Main Street and help ing our local organizations. The St. Patrick’s Committee would welcome input as to how it can continue to finance this event as it grows bigger and better each year, thanks to total volunteer efforts. Sincerely, (s) Claudia Hughes St. Patrick’s co-chair Hats off to St. Pat s volunteers To the Editor: The Morrow County Tourism Comm ittee would like to recognize the incredible effort and accomplishments of the St. Patrick’s Day Celebration. Co chairpersons Claudia Hughes and Diana Ball and the scores of com munity people who worked together to put on an outstanding weekend of activities for the Heppner community and its visitors. The St. Patrick’s Day celebra tion truly raised the spirits of all participants and revitalized our commitment to the ideal that by working together we can do great things in Morrow County. So here’s a hearty “ hats-off ’ to Claudia, Diana and everyone who made it happen.

Interment was at the Heppner Masonic Cemetery. Mrs. Hynd died Sunday, March 22, 1992, at St. Anthony Hospital in Pendleton. Mrs. Hynd was bom May 1, 1905 at Hardman, to George and Ida Capon Bleakman. She grew up and attended school at Hardman and later attended the normal school at Mon mouth where she received a teaching certificate in 1924. She taught school for many years at various locations in Eastern Oregon prior to he mar riage to Herb Hynd in 1934. After their marriage, she and her husband ranched at Cecil. She taught school at lone from 1960 until 1969. In 1970 she and her husband retired and moved to Umatilla. Her husband died in 1971. In 1973 Mrs. Hynd moved to Pendleton. She was active in the Retired Senior Volunteer Program and was a member of the Episcopal Church. She enjoyed traveling and playing cards, especially pinochle. Survivors include a daughter Carol Brooks of Kennewick, WA. two grandchildren and three great grandchildren. Bishop Funeral C hapel, Pendleton, was in charge of arrangements. I had another birthday a couple of weeks ago. Oh, that one didn’t make me old, but it sure got me to thinking about it. When I was a teenager I was in terested, like lots of my friends, in hot cars, a Saturday night date and big bore rifles. Then a few years later I was more interested in a career, schools for my kids and conspicuous consumption. Now, I’m really concerned with the impact of government on daily life, fly fishing and the economic health of my community. But what's it going to be like in a few years when I am old? Neither of my parents ever got old so I don’t know what they would have been interested in. My grandmother Glenn was old. She was concerned with the spring daffodils and her ulcer and writing every day in her diary. My Aunt Violet was bom in ‘01 and she thinks about how much longer her savings will pay for her nursing home, whether the weekly newspaper will come and when she’ll be able to take another ride in the country side. My Uncle Lyle thinks about his family, his golf game and the stock market. It’s funny how a person’s interests change as age creeps up. And it’s that whole collection of people, all of different ages, all with different interests and concerns, that make up a community. One interest or concern that we should all have is that all the interests and concerns of all the people should play a role in the way we govern our communities. (I told you that government was one of my interests.) Teenagers, in addition to hot cars and Saturday night dates, should pay some attention to career choices and stable marriages and athletic club memberships. When they’ve made those career choices and are busy rais ing families, they need to be a bit tolerant of the new crop of teenagers with hot cars and football jerseys. When I get old and worry about my health and my money and my golf score, I hope I can look back and remember how important good schols were and will be for my children’s children. I hope I can also see how important good jobs and propserous economic times are to my children. I hope that my own interests do not overshadow the interests of other members in the community. But right now, I hope that my generation, the people about my age who are the most concerned with how government works, are concerned with the needs and interests of all the people. Government should pay some attention to economic matters, of course. New factories, more industry, jobs, growth and expansion are all important things, mostly to the seg ment of society that is in the peak of their working years. But that cannot be the end of it. There are other concerns as well. After all, not everybody needs nor wants a new job. Others yearn for a quiet, well stocked library. Many are more concerned about high quality, readi ly available health care than they are about a new factory. Some are will ing to forego the new plant and the jobs it will bring if it also creates an unreasonable risk to health, life and comfort to folks living nearby. It is up to my generation to see that all interests in society are considered, that none overshadow others. We are all a part of the community and all deserve consideration from our government. So I had another birthday. Today, I feel pretty good, but I worry about the day when I won't. When that day comes, and I worry most about how far it is to my doctor's office, and how long I’m going to be able to pay for nursing home care, I sure hope I can look back to this day and say “ When I was most worried about how government worked, I saw clearly how it should.” And then acted accordingly. ••‘f V<- f»i* j' » V' - ' : Youth group to sponsor Bingo The St. Williams Junior High Youth group, with the help of the lone Lions Club, will sponsor bingo on Sunday March 29 from Saturday, March 28, 1992 Installation o f Officers - 5 p.m. Dinner Baron of Beef - 6:30 p.m. Music by “Burns 3-D " - 9 p.m. ^ H ep p n er Elks 358 676-9181 THE NEW OWNERS OF for FARM - HOME - AUTO Û.V 111 N.
