Letters to the Editor
Many reason to vote for pool
To the Editor:
About two or three years ago
Heppner had a useable swim
ming pool but suddenly the
pool started to get old. I think
it's about time we build a new
one.
During the summer many
kids, along with adults, want to
swim in a safe and convenient
place. Going 36 miles to lone
and back isn't exactly conve
nient, especially for kids who
can't drive.
I know that many people
have tried to raise more money
to build a pool. Since a pool
costs so much, at the rate
they're going, it will take years
before we have one. This pool
will be a multi-use pool that can
be used by senior citizens as
well. It will have wheel chair
access, an indoor therapy pool
for cold weather use, and water
safety classes for all ages.
If we really want a pool we
have to try and get everyone in
the town involved by either
raising more money or voting
on the bond issue March 28.
Remember, swimming is not
only good exercise, but it is a
great way to cool off on a hot
summer day.

Pool good exercise way to cool off
To the Editor:
I feel that getting a new
swimming pool for South Mor
row County is very important.
We really need public support
for the pool.
Many people have put dona
tions in boxes and jars at stores
and this has helped a lot. It has
raised $15,000, but now we are
thinking seriously about a new
pool. I want you to know how
much we need a new pool in
this town. You may not be able
to think of any reasons to build
one, but I sure can.
Pools are normally occupied
by kids and if you are familiar
with modern laws, you know
that kids can't drive and have
to be taken to lone to go swim
ming. But, there are no laws
against kids walking or riding
bikes, so they can walk or ride
bikes to the new pool if they
live in town.
Why not go swimming at the
lake? Well, I have your answer.
On hot days, algae grows and
it is full of bacteria. Do you like
to swim in algae? I don't think
so. Also, when kids go to the
lake, there are no lifeguards to
look after them, so drownings
may occur.
The heated part of the pool
may also have classes for
disabled and elderly people as
well as infants. They can ex
perience moving on their own
without a wheelchair or any
walking devices. This type of
exercise is less stressful on their
bodies.
Some other great reasons for
South Morrow County to in
vest in a pool are that we would
be able to provide swimming
lessons which is good for water
safety in the future. Red Cross
swimming lessons in the past
20 years has reduced drown
ings by 50 percent.
Also swimming is good exer
cise. Hmmmm, doesn't staying
fit sound good? Unlike biking
and walking, swimming exer
cises the whole body.
The bond is for $975,000
which is a lot of money, but
Kinzua (Corp.) has donated
$45,000 toward the swimming
pool. If the bond issue doesn't
pass, the pool can't accept the
donation.
Are your kids bored during
the summer? A pool will give
them something to do. I en
courage you to vote yes on the
bond issue and to make dona
tions toward the Heppner pool
for all of the above reasons.
(s) Tracy Rankin
is so inexpensive in most cases.
Why go without it?
