Letter to the Editor
Vote yes for school levy
To the Editor:
1 would encourage all citizens
of Morrow County to give
, serious consideration to the im
portance of passing the Morrow
County School District bond. The
bond proposal was drafted to
allow for construction of new
classrooms to reduce the over
crowded conditions that current
ly exist, to make needed repairs
and to improve technology educa
tion throughout the district.
As you are aware, our region
has shown a significant popula
tion increase in the last few years.
This has caused overcrowded
conditions in many o f our
schools. If we expect to continue
to be competitive in attracting
quality business and industry, our
schools must meet the same ex
pectations as other assets of our
region.
The employment opportunities
for our students in the future will
depend upon technology skills
developed today. Improvement of
technology education across our
district is essential for our
graduates to be employable. It is
our responsibility to provide our
students with skills and oppor
tunities for success.
Please join me in voting yes for
the future of our students and
communities.
Sincerely,
(s) Barbara L. Wetherell
Boardman
Vote yes for school bond
To the Editor:
As a new resident of Morrow
County, I was pleased to learn of
the school district’s plans for the
future of the youth of the county.
Even though both my son and
daughter have entered the college
ranks, their progress as well as
their future was enhanced by pro
gressive educators and the school
boards that provide the platform
upon which those educators
perform.
A most important item in the
educational process, but one that
many in America overlook, is the
school house. They are always
present in all of the towns, but
most of us haven’t taken the time
to consider how they got there.
Somebody, sometime, every
where, made a decision to have
a place to school our children.
Even in the old west, as a com
munity developed, one of the first
things was a school.
Now it appears to be time for
the somebodies, here, to do the
right thing for the children of to
day and of the next century. It
may cost a bit more these days,
but it will be far cheaper this year
than a few years from now, and
all delays will mean is that a few
more of our own are cheated.
As a member of the Oregon
State U niversity Advocates
group, who lobbies with our
legislature for the future of higher
education, I can state from first
hand know ledge that state
government is far less interested
in providing money to our local
needs, and to rely upon anyone
but ourselves for local things is
wishing upon a star, if you get
results, it is merely a coincidence.
I personally encourage a yes
vote for the county school bond.
(s) Jack Palmer

Boardman chamber supports levy
To the Editor:
The North Morrow County
Chamber of Commerce has
unanimously supported the Mor
row County School bond levy.
The hard part will be each of the
voters of Morrow County School
District educating themselves
about the urgent school needs.
Hopefully, you will see fit, for
the youths of our community, to
vote in favor of this necessary
levy. Regardless of what you
decide, please vote on this vital
issue.
Respectfully,
(s) Robert J. Boss, M.D.
President, Boardman-North
