Distribution David and April Hilton-Sykes, Publishers Justice Court ____Report Letter to the Editor Transportation vital to area To the Editor: Saving the soon-to-be- abandoned railroad right-of-way is a vital issue, and one that comes around only once. If it is not feasible to promote trails, why not an ecnomic development set aside, such as Port of Morrow land in the north end now enjoys? Heppner, Lexington and lone are landlocked communities. As such we have depended on two modes of transportation to con nect us to m ainstream thoroughfares supporting commerce. Without transportation that allows us to compete economical ly on a constant up-to-date basis, we can have no jobs here, no ser vices of any kind due to no peo ple to serve, and poor schools for lack of willing teachers. Who knows what transporta tion modes will be economically necessary to transport our pro ducts in and out of the area 25 years from now-much less 100 to 200 years? We need this corridor. It could be used for an easement for utilities such as piping water from the dam, natural gas, electricty. as well as transportation, or a new mode of transportation. Should one or all three com munities actively keep our op- tions open to welcome an advanc ed type of transportation system at a later date? Or can we possibly want to cut ourselves off com pletely forever from commerce dependent upon both agriculture and forestry? We take the services we now enjoy for granted, but we would miss them if they were gone. Our Trauma IV system at the Hepp ner Pioneer Memorial Hospital serves not only us but other peo ple for 150 miles on three sides. Do we not have an obligation to our children and our children’s children to keep all options for their future open? Their future may be now.

Coast toGoast WF C A \ Hf.l.F YOl To the Editor: John Kitzhaber stands out from the crowd of candidates running for governor. His rugged per sonality and consensus-building style set him apart from the divisive partisanship of many gubernatorial wannabes. As senate president and author of the Oregon Health Plan, John Kitzhaber focused divergent views together into a common vi sion for our state. W hile serving in the legislature, I have watched Oregon sagging under the weight of Ballot Measure 5. Democrats are fighting with Republicans, the house is battling the senate and « 76 - « « « / The Justice Court office at the courthouse annex building in Heppner reports handling the following business during the past week: William Edward Wilson, 63, Heppner-Illegal Backing, $75 fine; Driving Uninsured $55 fine; No Vehicle Registration $55 fine; Sounthone Symoungkhoune, 25, Stockton, CA.-Failure to Wear Seat Belt, $75 fine; No Vehicle Registration $55 fine; Abel Gomez Ortiz, 19, Milton- Freewater-Driving Uninsured $80 fine; No Driver’s License $130 fine; Delbert Allen Mead, 37, Spokane, WA.-Defective Equip ment (tail, stop and signal lights, rear) $80 fine; No Operator’s License $130 fine; Victor Rego Gomez, 38, Ione- No Operator’s License, $155 fine; Teresa Fay French, 31, Ione- Failure to Wear Seat Belt, $75 fine; Expired Vehicle License $25 fine; No Operator’s License $155 fine; Illegal ‘U ’ Turn $25 fine; Dale Estes Erw in, 28, Portland-Open Container of Alcoholic Beverage in a Motor Vehicle $101 fine; C harish Noel D eer, 20, Arlington-No Operator’s License $155 fine; Robin Don Scott, 20, Heppner- No Motorcycle Endorsement $50 fine; A lbert John C ason, 23, Stanfield-Failure to Wear Seat Belt, $50 fine; G eorge L.

The Food and Drug Administration indicates that any disease which affects 200,000 or less persons is consid ered a rare disease. Marine Sgt. Carl D. Martin, son o f Carl D. and Geri Martin, Heppner, was recently promoted to his present rank while serving with Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 463, 1st Marine Ex peditionary Brigade, Marine Corps Air Station, Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. The 1987 graduate of Heppner High School joined the Marine Corps in September 1988. The list of rare diseases includes Huntington’s disease, Tourette’s syndrome, autism, narcolepsy, and muscular dystrophy. Most are he reditary; others are acquired prob lems or conditions. Orphan drugs are medicines that are developed for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of conditions that occur infrequently. Legislation passed in 1983 provides financial incen tives to companies that develop medicines having limited revenue potential due to the small number of persons who will need them. The U.S. federal government established the National Organiza tion for Rare Diseases to provide the public with information about the treatment of rare diseases and the availability of orphan drugs. Call the Center from 9 AM to 5 PM (EST) at (800) 447-6673 if you need information. You may wish to talk with someone in the re search section of the Center or re quest printed materials.
