Letters to the Editor
Re-elect Lindsay and Healy to Port
To the Editor:
In these times of continuous
change and new challenges we
need the experience and good
judgement of Larry Lindsay
and Jerry Healy on the Port of
Morrow.
Larry has served Morrow
County well, helping bring
new industries to lessen the tax
load of Morrow County
residents.
Jerry Healy is an active com
munity member and is ded
icated to the needs of Morrow
County.
For future results, we need to
re-elect Larry Lindsay and Jerry
Healy to the Morrow County
Port Commission.

No other alternatives, vote yes on bond
To the Editor:
We would like to encourage
the citizens of Morrow County
to join us and vote yes on the
Morrow County School bond.
The passage of this bond levy
will help insure the much need
ed new classrooms in the north
end to help reduce over
crowding. It will also help
make needed repairs and to im
prove technology education
programs thoughout the dis
trict. Like many of you, we too
were opposed to the 7-12 con-
!
figuration, but yet understand
the crisis situation our school
district faces. In reviewing op
tions we can see there are no
other alternatives.
Also, we would like to con
gratulate Morrow County
residents who have written let
ters to our legislators on behalf
of education. We believe we are
making an impact. Keep up the
good work. We can make a
difference.
Sincerely,
(s) John and Sonja McCabe

To the Editor:
We support Larry Lindsay,
John Grace and Jerry Healy for
election as Commissioners to
the Port of Morrow.
Larry has served as a Com
missioner for many years and
provides a stable reference for
the commission as they con
sider the many issues that come
before them. Larry's years of
experience are especially im
portant now while the Port
managaer is incapacitated.
John Grace and Jerry Healy
were recently appointed to the
Commission and are only now
becoming aware of the breadth
and depth of the operational
business of the Port. They have
done very well thus far and are
proving themselves to be
Our children deserve opportunities
To the Editor:
Have you ever stood and
watched something fall apart
and then self-destruct? It isn't
pretty, but it is entertaining.
You have the opportunity to be
highly entertained in up
coming weeks; a drama on a
more local level than L. A. is un
folding right now in your own
com m unities in Morrow
County.
Recent bond issues have con
sistently failed, some by only a
narrow margin, as we continue
to experience unabated growth
and crowding that begs for
relief in some of our schools. I
spoke last year of meeting with
a student group at city' hall due
to lack of classroom space. This
year we have students utilizing
storage space as a classroom.
The board and superintendent
have adopted frugal measures
which have reduced budgetary'
expenditures by hundreds of
thousands of dollars. The
school week has been shorten
ed, cutting transportation ex
penses and some staff salaries.
The bond proposed last Sep
tember has been reduced by
more than $2,000,000.
At this time, staffs are being
combined and programs are be
ing eliminated in an effort to be
more cost effective. These
measures will take place
whether the currently propos
ed bond issue passes or fails.
To the Editor:
I don't know how many of
our subscribers caught a sneak
peak of something on Channel
26 a couple of weeks ago but
Heppner T.V. Inc was taking a
look at a new network called
Home and Garden TV. I, for
one fell head over heels en
thralled. All my old favorites on
the Home Show now had their
own V 2 hour show to instruct
us on informative tips to do
with home remodeling, repairs,
decorating, crafts, sewing and
gardening. A perfect channel
for the person interested in
their home and more and more
of us are these days. The
statistics are showing, we, as
the middle class spend $1,000
or more on our homes each
year and a lot of that is in our
yard and remodeling. I have
had numerous folks call or stop
by to let me know they really

valuable additions to the
Commisssion.
In the past, the election has
resulted in representation from
each area of the Port district.
The interest of the Port and the
electorate have been well serv
ed by this broad representa
tion. We hope the residents of
Morrow County will see fit to
continue the geographic
separation of the members of
the Commission of the Port of
Morrow.
We urge you to vote for Larry
Lindsay, Jerry Healy and John
Grace to represent you on the
Port of Morrow Commission.

However, in the event that the
bond is defeated by even one
vote, additional programs will
be eliminated. I am heart-sick
at the prospect.
So tune in on Morrow Coun
ty. You can watch if things fall
apart because everyone had a
personal agenda. You can pick
Up the paper and read about
angry voters who have slashed
programs featuring business
and/or technical education, art,
music, homemaking, media.
Not all at once in every school,
but here and there. It's like
having the chance to watch a
victim bleed to death. When
does "cutting" become carn
age?
Those with the hearts and
ears to hear, listen. We don't
need to agree about anything
but one thing: our children and
youth deserve the number and
quality of opportunities that
others enjoy. I plan to vote for
the school district bond issue.
Kids should not be victimized
because of personal biases. We
need to be proactive in plann
ing as we continue to grow,
working with the board and
superintendent to develop a
long range vision for our
schools. Vote yes for the bond
issue. Urge friends to do the
same.
