I lived there in the 1940's and there was an "old rugged cross" up on the hill. Seeing that new white cross glowing in the night sky was a beautiful sight; tempered however by the arrival of the helicopter after the tragic accident. We extend our condolences to the Taylor family. We appreciate the work of those responsible for the new cross. • * Sincerely, (s) Lauren & Aline Corwin Box 966 Albany, 97321 L ittle League tryouts April 7 & 8 Little League tryouts for Ma jors will be held April 7 and April 8 at the Little League field in Heppner.

Letters to the Editor To the Editor: I am a sixth grader from Heppner Middle School and I am very disappointed about the bicycle law. Now that there is a law people can not ride bicycles on the sidewalks there have been more wrecks due to our rough roads. I, Kayla Long, and many other people think there should be a lane added so the people on bikes and those driving will feel safer. I would appreciate your help if you could possibly help out with this problem. Sincerely (s) Kayla Sue Kay Long To the Editor: Please vote for the Morrow County Unified Recreation District levy that will be on the September ballot. This levy will fund co- curricular activities in Morrow County. I feel that sports are impor tant to kids to encourage them to keep their grades up and keep them off of the streets and out of trouble. Vote yes for co-curricular. Vote yes for the kids of Morrow County. Sincerely, __________ (s) Sarah Eckman To the Editor: I'm a sixth grader at Heppner Middle School. Thanks to the Parents' Club we get to go to Tupper. They organized the school carnival and the Tupper- ware sale. Tupper is an outdoor school to teach us sixth graders about the outdoors. So this is a letter to let the Parents' Club and the community who made it possi ble for us sixth graders to go to Tupper, I'm glad you did. Sincerely, ___________ (s) Autum Chick To the Editor: I would like to complain about not being able to ride rollerblades on the sidewalks. The policemen tell you to get off the sidewalks, but the notices on the sidewalks say: "Bicycles and skateboards off". It doesn't say anything about rollerblades. So I think the police should either add rollerblades to the notices or let us ride on the sidewalks. Sincerely, __________(s) Bradon Kanyid To the Editor: I would like to tell the com munity of Heppner that I ap preciate everything the business have done for the kids of Heppner. The honor card students that get 3.5 and higher get certificates for free stuff at their stores. I would like to recognize the coaches and helpers of little league and Colt basketball for spending their time to teach kids good sportsmanship and teamwork. Chuck Matteson made a special effort donating his time taking a fifth and sixth grade basketball team to the Her miston Invitational Tourna ment. Sincerely, _____________ (s) Craig Scott To the Editor: I would like to tell Dave G underson and the Colt coaches that I am glad they give us a chance to play basketball. I would also like to tell Chuck Matteson that I was glad he took us to the Hermiston In vitational Tournament. I appreciate the businesses that donate certificate awards to kids that got a 3.5 or higher in school: Heppner Ranger District, Bank of Eastern Oregon, Gardner's, First In terstate Bank, P eterson's Jewelers, Heppner Gazette- Times and Skaggs Action Arcade. Sincerely, ____________ (s) Travis Lowe To the Editor: I feel that there is a bicycle and rollerblading problem in Heppner. I think that kids should be able to ride on the sidewalks. The streets in Heppner are very rough and hard to roller blade on. I know because I've tried. As for the bicycles, trying to dodge car doors and trying to stay out of the way is pretty hard. I know that people are scared of getting hit but maybe the city can make a certain way to get down town without hav ing to dodge cars. It would be better for smaller kids too. Several people have sug gested a certain lane or even not having cars park so close to the sidewalk. Maybe the city can make Heppner better by doing this simple little task.
