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,

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.

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.
