And a great place to raise children and a lot of us used to be friends. But, recently I've noticed I wouldn't want anybody's children grow ing up here the way people respond to hearsay and gossip. If the people of this town would focus a lot more on themselves serving this com munity this might be a lot bet ter place to live. Sincerely, (s) Steve Arbogast Larry Monigale served in Vietnam To the Editor: I would like you to put "Larry Monigales name in the list of Vietnam Veterans. He was there 18 months, Army. He went to high school and part of grade school in Hepp ner, class of '64 or '65. His parents lived on Hinton Creek. We lost Larry in August 1992 here in Pendleton and he was always proud of being a "V e t" and active in the V.F.W. of Pendleton. I'm his aunt by marriage. Thank you, Mrs. Wm. J. (Martha) Doherty 1201 N.W. Horn Pendleton E d itor’s note: O thers added to the list are Sam G reen , class of ‘60, L aw rence G re en ‘63, Tom G reen ‘65 and Earl Struckm eier ‘ 68 . Insurance giants will restrict health care To the Editor: As published a few months ago in the Oregon Health Forum newsletter Blue Cross/ Blue Shield plans on opening a pharmacy in Pendleton. This will occur after both their Medicaid's inadequate reim bursement policies have forced independents out of business. Blue Cross/Blue Shield is touting their first day mail delivery to serve our rural areas from a regional center, never caring that this system will decimate rural Eastern Oregon communities. There is one hitch, we live 52 miles from Pendleton and Market Report Compliments of the Morrow County Grain Growers Tuesday, Jan. 24 Soft White *4.28 Jan. *4.29/*4.31 Feb. *4.32 March-April *3.92 New Crop Aug.

Is rural eastern Oregon sup posed to drop dead literally? Does everyone everywhere want all their health care pro vided by a few insurance giants? If you don't, contact your legislator and tell him/her that restricting access to phar maceuticals is not acceptable, as well as restricting access to the physicians of your choice.
