SIX- Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, April 13, 1994 Sheriff’s Report The Morrow County Sheriff s office in Heppner reports dispat ching the following business dur ing the past week: March 29: Morrow County deputy began investigation of a civil problem.

March 30: Morrow County deputy began investigation of suspicious phone calls received at a residence in Irrigon; Chamber Chatter By Claudia Hughes, Chamber Manager "Keeping Small Town USA On The Map" is an article that surfaced at a recent Heppner Coordinating Council meeting. From this article, one of the bits of advice that might be valuable to Heppner was ‘Small Town Staying Pow er’. Two sociologists, Cornelia and Jan Flora, say rural communities do well when they: 1. Accept controversy as nor mal and talk about it in the newspaper; 2. Keep personalities out of politics; 3. Cheer for school academics as much as athletics; 4. Tax themselves to maintain public services; 5. Have some cash left to in vest in town projects; 6. Have the vision to see beyond city limits; 7. Have the confidence to share leadership with one another and with newcomers. And to the above I would add these three: 8. Become diversified to create additional jobs, rather than de pend on one key industry; 9. Be open to new ideas and gather input from young people just starting out; 10. Remember to celebrate vic tories and take time to laugh. So. how do you think we rate? Give each of the above a score between one and 10. Do we come close to 100 percent? You’re all challenged to put on your creative thinking caps and throw out as many ideas as possible on item eight. What can we manufacture right here in Heppner that will create more jobs, draw people to us, and help our economy? Drop your ideas in the'mail: My Idea, PO Box 1232. Heppner. 97836.
