Letter to the Editor
Focus on community not gossip
To the Editor:
Heppner used to be a great
place to grow up. 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

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

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

Is rural eastern Oregon sup

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.
