The following letter was writ ten to Larry Gildea, attorney fo r Pioneer Resources, representing the buyers o f the Kinzua Mills. Dear Sir: This letter is a protest to the potential closure of the Kinzua Lumber Co. mill in Heppner, Oregon. I was shocked to hear the news of the sale and impending shut down of the very profitable business that has been the support of scores of families and the very life-blood of a very special small community, for a long, long time. My interest is not that of a mere “ o u tsid er” w itnessing this tragedy. I was bom in Heppner, raised nearby, and own farmland locally, so 1 do have personal ties. I am adding my support to the public outcry that a terrible disservice may be about to happen. In these days of the en vironmental awareness, our most powerful enemies are greed and the short-sighted people who feed that greed at the expense of others. To strip the timber resources, (with no management plan) to sell raw timber for ex port, or to destroy the industrial resources of a community is criminal. I pray that as a decision maker in this venture. Pioneer Resources will not fall into that category. Which one of the purchasers has the moral courage to rethink his choices, stand up to this travesty and say “ no, this is wrong.” Please encourage each other to keep the mill operating. Those loyal workers deserve to keep their jobs, their homes and their community. Sincerely, (s) Dorothy (Dobyns) Generaux Vancouver, WA. 8x10 C0L0R PORTRAIT by Classic Portraits Ail Ages-Infants to Adults Familles & Couples Welcome This free portrait is given to you with the compliments of this store and is limited to one free portrait per family.
