P rin ter David and April Hilton-Sykes, Publishers Letter to the Editor Diabolical pleasure in Irrigon dashing? To the Editor: Ed G lenn's latest tirade against Irrigon in the Sept. 6 issue of the Hermiston Herlad, makes one wonder what his true motive is. It is obvious to everyone that he is continuing his efforts to cause contention between Boardman and Ir rigon, and now he is trying to make waves between Irrigon and lone. His suggestion that Irrigon would like to see the lone High School closed in order to have access to that money for a high school in Ir rigon is ludicrous when one remembers a plan was presented that would have pro vided for a high school in Ir rigon at no additional cost to the district. We are fully aware that the reason we did not get our high school was political, and not financial. It should be noted that lone receives special fun ding from the state due to their size and their distance from the nearest high school. I have never heard anyone express anything but admiration for lone's determination to hang on to their high school. Glenn's efforts to create animosity between Irrigon and Boardman have not been en tirely successful. In our bid to have our high school restored, one of the best supportive let ters in the newspapers was by Jack Palmer, Boardman's city manager, in which he stated, "I think 99 percent of the re sidents in both communities would support the idea." I believe Palmer was correct; any fair-minded citizen in Morrow' County would have to agree with him. Of the 780 names on a petition asking the board to reinstate Irrigon's high school, there were signatures from Boardman, lone, Heppner and Lexington, as well as Irrigon. In regard to the bond issue, if it does go down again, it won't be because of any organized attempt in Irrigon to sink it, but because the majori ty of the board was insensitive to the fact that voters sent it to defeat once, and it was resub mitted without any effort to reduce the amount. Whatever diabolical pleasure Mr. Glenn derives from his constant Irrigon bashing, wouldn't it be a riot if his barbs w'ere what it took to get our tow n politically awakened and motivated, and goad us into the force we could become in Mor row County? Keep it up, Ed, you're probably doing us more good than you'll ever know.
