Change, it's inevitable as
long as the population con
tinues to increase, as young
people move into the picture,
as long as books awaken our
senses to new ideas, as long as
there is creativity left in the
world.
Notice the signs appearing
around the county, "Vote for
Classrooms for Kids". This
refers to the School Bond
Measure appearing in your
mail boxes this Friday. It means
constructive change for the
well-being of our children and
grandchildren so that their
education and facilities will
continue to benefit them and be
competitive with or even better
than other communities. Good
schools attract productive peo
ple to our area, people who put
the well-being of their children
at the top of their relocate list.
Vote yes.
Thursday, Sept. 1, is a busy
day for many people who will
be "meetinged o u t" by 9:30
p.m. The public is welcome to
sit in on both the South Mor
row T ourism A ssessm ent
Report from 2 to 5 p.m. and the
Strategic Plan Review for
Heppner from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m.
Both meetings will occur at the
Columbia Basin Conference
Room. This past June people
were interviewed by Mike Wet
ter & Associates regarding
tourism in south Morrow
County. The results were in
teresting. It's important that
anyone involved in tourism, its
im pact on H ep p n er, a
marketing plan for south Mor
row County or how far, when,
and where we go from here, be
present at these afternoon
meetings. A plan is only as suc
cessful as the people who buy
into it and then follow through.
It's not reams of paper, it's the
action that follows that makes
positive change possible.
Speaking of action, those
who don't feel drawn to the
evening meeting, might grab a
shovel and "head for the hill"
where Bob Kahl and the RV
park crew welcome volunteers.
They are hopeful that the RV
facility will be ready before
hunting season is over.
Volunteers, whether atten
ding m eetings, prom oting
"C lassroom for K ids", or
physically digging into a pro
ject, are the spirit of Heppner
and the heartbeat.
Next week: Chamber board
and business meeting.
A fieldmen's breakfast will be
held Wednesday, Sept. 7, at
6:30 a.m. at Frasu's Restaurant,
Hermiston. Cost for breakfast
will be $5/person which in
cludes coffee and gratuity.
This program will begin with
