(s) Roger Leonnig Viet Nam Vet HHS Class of '67 Appreciates chamber award To the Editor: It was very nice of the Hepp ner Chamber of Commerce to give us the “ Hats Off” award. Whether we 'earned' it or not is still probably a matter of opi nion. However, what we have done in the last 32 years in this community, was not to win awards or recognition. We just have a very strong desire to preserve our town and life style. There are many other people with the same ambi tions, that is why this is such a great place to live. We left the cities to raise our children in a rural community, fortunately, we are now wat ching our grand children grow up here. Through the years we have made many friends and acquaintances. They are what really make life worthwhile. We appreciate our daughters Kaedene and Darcy and their families for all their support, and a couple of special friends, even if they lied to us to get us to go to the luncheon. Sincerely, (s) Jerry & JoyceKay Hollomon Sweeney ignores rematch challenge To the Editor: On or about the 27th of December, 19941 was in Hepp ner, Oregon, and was challeng ed to a game of pool by one Patrick Sweeney. I am con sidered to be somewhat of an amateur at the game by most. Mr. Sweeney, I understand, is somewhat skilled at the game. Mr. Sweeney failed to exercise these skills on that fateful even ing and was soundly defeated by the handsome kid from Tillamook. Chalk one up for the kid. Since that day of infamy Mr. Sweeney has gone to pitiful lengths to schedule a rematch. He first offered to pay for all pool games. Then he wanted by buy drinks with alcoholic content in them. Then he offered a bribe of $10. He stooped so low that he even brought his wife in to look sad so that I would play him a se cond time. Upon my final refusal to give him a rematch in Heppner he had the classic look of a mortician on his face. The man even threw himself upon the floor and claimed that I hit him and then threatened a law suit if 1 didn't give him a rematch. I had a stopper for that law suit bit, but you'll have to find out what that was from him. He has even gone so for as to post lookouts to call him when I come to Heppner. Soon after the call, here he comes with his personalized pool stick. This is a home and home event. The next game must be played in Tillamook. We've always heard that Heppner people would accept all challenges. Mr. Sweeney must be a transplant. He has been of fered free food, lodging, a crab bing trip, and a clamming trip just to get him on my home table. Three weeks have gone by since I issued my challenge, but so far, the man has not shown his face in Tillamook. Not even a post card has he sent acknowledging my challenge. On a scale with 10 being the highest, how would you rate him between one and three. Please send comments to Gerald E. Bristow, 311 Linden Drive, Tillamook, Oregon 97141 Signed, (s) Gerald E Bristow 311 Linden Drive Tillamook 97141 Lighted cross a joy To the Editor: The Christmas season has passed, but not forgotten. Dur ing the past season we have recognized the uniqueness of our community in the display ing of the lighted cross on “Cross Hill” . We were doing much traveling the weeks JOIN ANY MEETING ANYTIME HEPPNER Methodist Church 175 W Church Thurs. 6:30 p.m. before Christmas and we were always "joyed” and thankful to see the lighted cross as we entered town. We hope that this very special landmark may con tinue. Yours truly, (s) Paul and Gayle Arbogast Let's put kids first To the Editor: This letter is in response to the 7-12 configuration open forum meeting of 1-10-95 with Chuck Starr, Bill Karwacki, and Steve Dickenson. First let me say 1 think the meeting was a great idea and we should continue to have them. Second, I feel I am guil ty as a parent for not being bet ter informed about this issue since it all began a year ago. Believe me, it won't happen again. Frankly, I'm worried about our kids. From strictly an academic view, it would be great to have a seventh or eighth grader who could take classes with a junior, as Mr. Dickenson said. But as we all remember school is not strictly academics. How is this 17 year old under-achiever going to feel about this 12 year old over achiever? Who will give first? My guess is the 12 year old would stop trying so hard just to get out of the situation. That is sad. I know the high school kids aren't going to be out there “gunning” for the junior high kids, but our kids aren't perfect and we really shouldn't expect them to be. Intimidation hap pens. Hazing happens. Rela tionships happen. Are 12 year olds really ready for this? Teachers and faculty cannot be everywhere. Obviously things happen in shcool every day that the staff and parents know nothing about. It hap pened when I was there and it's still happening.

HERMISTON Senior Center 435 West Orchard Mon 6:30 p.m. be so much easier for the seventh and eighth graders to try new experiences and older kids to expose them to new ex periences because of the prox imity of the two groups. The young kids will want to be cool like the older kids and the older kids will want to have a little fun with the young ones. Teas ing and tormenting are taken much more to heart when you're 12 than when you're 17. 1 come from good parents who taught me good values. I knew right from wrong. But I did a lot of really stupid things that I knew were wrong my freshman year, just because they were fun. I was almost always with an upper classman when I had the most “ fun” . Peer pi assure is a powerful thing. I think we're blind and naive if we don't acknowledge it. I d on't want to sound pessimistic, just realistic. This is apparently out of the com munity's hands. So if it's going to happen no matter what we say, we should at least have a say in how it should happen. I think segregation is the only way. The more we can keep things separate, the better and safer it will be. Let's put the kids first. Things that happen to them in these next six years really do af fect them the rest of their lives. Even small things are very im portant. Let's take care of them, we only get one chance. Sincerely, (s) Darcy Coil il I Turr ' i» .r Bowling Linda C. Ripple Funeral services for Linda C.

Persons with high blood cholesterol levels may be treated with cholesterol lowering medicines. And diabet ics may be treated with medicines intended to reduce the amount of sugar (glucose) in the bloodstream. Most o f us would not expect the treatment o f any one of these three problems to help control either of the other problems. But this seems to be exactly what happens in dia betes. Dr. Keith Campbell, Professor of Pharmacy Practice at Washing ton State University spoke to par ticipants at the annual meeting of the American Association o f Dia betes Educators. According to Dr. Campbell, about 80 percent o f dia betics who do not use insulin have high blood pressure, have high cho lesterol levels, and are obese. All three problems need vigorous treat ment. If not treated properly, com plications such as kidney disease often result. As many as 40 percent of people with this same type of diabetes suffer from severe kidney disease. Therefore, treatment of high blood pressure and high cho lesterol levels in this type o f diabe tes usually will be beneficial. Dr. Campbell also advocates the use of antioxidant vitamins such as vita min E, which may help prevent damage from excess sugar levels. Court Street Market 111 N.
