Letters to the Editor
What do teens need?
To the Editor:
Several years ago, Pete Palan-
ca, the director of the Adolescent
Chemical Dependency Programs
at the Alcoholism treatment
Center for Ingalls Memorial
Hospital, answered the question,
“ What Do Adolescents Need?” ,
with 21 points: 1. Clear limits set.
What is safe and acceptable and
what is not? What are the conse
quences?
2. Discipline that is consistent
and fair and carries over into
every area of their lives.
3. Positive role models. Do
you know teachers who discuss
“ partying with kids? Teachers
and other “ caring adults” are
selling dope.
4. Opportunities to honestly ex
press their feelings or thoughts.
5. Permission to fail and
return, not necessarily to accept
behavior but to accept the kid.
Tolerance for mistakes.
6. Opportunities to laugh and
be happy.
7. Opportunities to be suc
cessful in school, at home, in the
community, with peers, etc.
8. Structured family activities,
church, holidays, meals, movies,
etc.
9. Consistency, it’s lacking
everywhere, with friends, school
policy, parents and rules and
regulations in general.
10. Encouragement to take
risks.
11. Accurate information about
drugs and alcohol; also about
crime, sexuality, and other areas
which might promote fear and

Looking for ‘bloopers’ in print can be a great pastime along with
word pictures that conjure up images. It’s great entertainment when
sipping coffee on these much cooler than norm, so-called spring
mornings.
My funny bone picked up on an item in last week’s G-T sheriff s
report about a pair of chaps found near a residence on Hwy. 207.
What did this pair look like? Were they scroungy hippy type or
were those chaps really a cast-off cowboy garment? It so, maybe
they resembled ones that had been drug through the bam lot too often
or perhaps they were the colorful, fringed type belonging to a rodeo
rider. Imagination is a precarious thing.
And then there’s the one about the beaver with two broken legs.
Was he given CPR and a life-support system while determining if
he might be an endangered species?
The hazards of country driving are a risk for both animals and
humans. Especially when you crack your bones while driving over
broken chunks of county road pavement. Potholes are only a minor
speed bump. However the county court minutes relate that due to
a shortage of road funds some of the lesser-traveled paved roads
should be turned back to gravel.
It appears that many roads are already turning to a primitive state.
Every farmer knows that in addition to grading roads on rare occa
sions grader ditches properly maintained help keep roads from
eroding—a practice not closely adhered to by the county.
Before warmer weather allows for patching, the risk of accidents
and lots of flat tires could be reduced if some of these hazardous
chunks of pavement were swept from traffic lanes. Rural taxpayers
feel that road maintenance is the only payback for their tax dollars.
How about using public offenders for hand labor on roads as a
community service? Maybe a few blisters would be a good lesson
to prevent repeated misconduct.
Another printed fallacy exists about the county tax levy. The levy
asking is reduced, but there are no cost-cutting measures applied to
the budget. The levy amount was lowered by reducing the ending
fund balance—the amount normally reserved to fund services from
July until November taxes are received. After July 1 will services
then be axed?
In the county levy information put out by the Extension Office it
states that non-mandated general hind services totally funded by the
county are Veterans Services, Fair and Rodeo, the Museum, Parks
and Justice Court.
The fair and rodeo fund receives .40 percent of the county tax
dollar. So its budget is not totally funded by the county although funds
are handled by the county accounting department. It’s said that the
parks and the justice court are somewhat self-supporting, not totally
funded by tax dollars. If the school fund now only gets .35 percent
of the pie, instead of nearly half that they used to receive, how come
the general fund tax dollars don’t cover a lot more than they used to?
Because I now dread the short trip to town perhaps that’s one reason
our road remains in sad shape. So if you don't hear from me again,
look for me in the bottom of a large road crater mashed in by county
equipment as they cruise by putting up tiny stakes.
Word has been received of the
death of Earl Steagall, 79, Butte
Falls.
Mr. Steagall died at his home
on May 8. He is survived by eight
brothers and sisters, including
George Steagall of Heppner,
Virginia Sitton, Fossil and Mary
K. Lamb, formerly of Fossil; and
several nieces, nephews and
cousins of the Heppner, lone,
Lexington, Irrigon, Fossil and
