Distribution David and April Hilton-Sykes, Publisher Letter to the Editor Reckless to break up health care To the Editor: In today’s climate of health care reform even the largest pro viders in the medical field are merging to insure reimbursement consideration from Medicare and Medicaid. It would be reckless at this crucial time for Morrow County residents to break up their health care system. It has already been proven that it is easy for insurance companies and government bureaucracies to ignore the needs and refuse ade quate support for separate facilities; but it is much more dif ficult to ignore a unified coun ty wide system. If you are interested in main taining health care in any part of the county please come to the hearing at Irrigon’s Columbia Junior High June 22 at 7 p.m. (s) Meg Murray You’ve come a long way baby W elcome Home Amy The Morrow County Sheriff s office in Heppner repons dispat ching the following business dur ing the past week: June 7: Morrow County depu ty responded to the Irrigon area for a disturbance call; M orrow County deputy responded to Hwy. 730 for a pickup and motor home off the road; Morrow County deputy res- poonded to EO Farms to take a report of theft.
