I play football, baseball and wrestling, and sports are practically my life. Without them, there would be nothing to do. I think it is very impor tant that the people of Morrow County should vote on and pass the levy to keep sports and extracurricular activities. Please keqp sports. Thank you, (s) Shannon Slover Irrigon Health District story in error To the Editor: 1 need to make a correction in your report of remarks I made at the Morrow County Medical Board meeting in lone in last week's paper. Cene Allen's endorsement for the medical board vacancy was proposed by the Boardman Chamber of Commerce Board ¿nd was in fact approved by the general membership of the Boardman Chamber. I disagreed with the pro cedure used for making the en dorsement in respect to the facts that this endorsement was voted without any discussion of the matter by the general membership, without any pre sentation by Mr. Allen of his views on the operation of the medical district and without any opportunity for the other two applicants for the opening on the board to present their ideas and be considered by the general membership of the Boardman Chamber. Mr. Allen may be the best qualified applicant for the medical board vacancy; but, his application was diminished by an endorsement which did not give due consideration to the other Boardman citizens who made good faith applications for the vacancy. Thank you for publishing this clarification of my comments. (s) John Edmundson Sports builds character To the Editor: Please support the Recreation District to continue the tradi tion of sports in our schools. I am proud to have been involv ed in athletics and know how it can help build character and responsibility. The attendance to games and tournaments show the support we have for our teams and the pride we have in our communities. Let us keep that tradition going. Vote yes for the Recreation District.

District To the Editor: We have been educators in Morrow County for 20 years and have seen, both as edu cators and parents, the impor tance of extra-curricular ac tivities. It is difficult for us to visualize our schools without these critical activities. It is a distinct possibility. We agree with Dan Daltoso's statement that it is foolish to say that these activities are not an essential part of education. They most certainly are. Obituaries John T. Mahon John T.

Correction A portion of a story in the Aug. 2 issue of the Gazette- Times, entitled, "H ealth District rejects Boss' counter of fer” , was in error. John Edmundson went on record at the July 31 health district meeting opposing the Boardman Chamber's method of endorsing Dr. Robert Boss of the Boardman Clinic. The membership of the Boardman Chamber, not just the board as erroneously stated in the article, did vote to en dorse Dr. Boss. Edmundson said that he disagreed with the procedure for making the endorsement. According to Edmundson, "the endorsement was voted on without any discussion of the matter by the general member ship, without any presentation by Mr. Allen of his views on the operation of the medical district, and without any op portunity for the other two ap plicants for the opening on the board to present their ideas and be considered by the general membership of the Boardman Chamber." The children of Frank and Kay Anderson cordially invite all friends and relatives to help them celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary on Saturday , Aug. 2 6 , 1995 fro m 2-4 p.m. at the All Saints Episcopal Church in H eppner.
