My 80 year old mother-in-law recuperated much quicker and better from painful knee replacement surgery because of this type of exercise. Besides the primary function of keeping our youth fit and healthily occupied, the pool will also provide tremendous benefit for 85 percent of the older population, as well as the disabled young. Sincerely, (s) Meg Murray Cocurricular interaction essential To the Editor: I encourage all residents of Morrow County to vote in favor of the Morrow County Unified Recreation District. With the communities in Mor row County as isolated as they are, the students have limited exposure to kids their own age. Cocurricular activities provide the opportunity for students to travel to other communities and interact with other stu dents in a healthy, safe, and friendly manner. ■Dnumoa t . As a teacher, I feel this in teraction is essential to the development of young adults who are expected to participate in society after graduation. The Morrow County School District has a history of sending not on ly well-educated by well- prepared young people into the world. Cocurricular activities have played a key role in this process. The Morrow County Unified Recreation District will insure the continuation of that level of quality. (s) Jim Raible Activities help keep kids on right path To the Editor: I would like to encourage Morrow County voters to sup port the proposed recreation district. This proposed serial levy would fund all cocurricular activities for the Morrow Coun ty School District. This is a county-wide proposal and all cities in the county have opted into the district. Speaking as a law enforce ment officer, I think it is ap propriate to point out that a community must support its youth. There are many kids that remain in school because of the very programs that the Recreation District would fund. Probably the biggest factors in building my own self con cept, in my high school years, were sports and music. These programs instill a work ethic and a sense of pride that stu dents take with them through out their lives. Kids will find something to occupy their time. If we fail to provide socially acceptable ac tivities for them, I am afraid more kids will choose alcohol, drugs, or gangs. They will then become an expensive problem for law enforcement. Law en forcement usually follows a reactive approach in dealing G e n u i n e C Slw riff» Report Births The Morrow County Sheriff's office in Heppner reports dispatching the following business during the past week: August 8: Morrow County Sheriff's office dispatched the Boardman Fire Dept, for multi aid for the Umatilla "Fire Dept.; Morrow County deputy responded to a disturbance in the Irrigon area; Morrow County deputy responded to a traffic problem at highway 730 and 3rd Street in Irrigon; Shayla Faye Torres-a Morrow County deputy daughter Shayla was born to responded for a report of a fire Miranda Parker of Boardman hazard in the Irrigon area; on July 19, 1995 at Good Shep Morrow County deputy herd Community Hospital in responded to a report of a dis Hermiston.

Obituary »A with juvenile problems; how ever, the passage of the recrea tion district can be a very positive step in the elimination of future problems. Traditionally, the school has been the center of the small communities in Morrow Coun ty. The sports programs have been a source of community pride and a source of entertain ment for the family. Passing the recreation district will provide a source of funding that insures the continuation of this tradi tion. I urge all Morrow County voters to support the recreation district. Thank you.

Be sure to stop by the Chamber of Commerce booth at the fair to see if you can identify the kids. Chamber members will be having lunch in the picnic area on Thursday rather than their regular meeting on Tuesday. Feel wel come to join us there. Take a fair break on Friday to join the Heppner merchants during the annual sidewalk sale with bargains for all ages. Then it's back to the fair for the Ore gon Trail Pro Rodeo. Chamber members will be helping to take tickets at the gate during three days of exciting rodeo events. Parade chair Bill Karwacki says entries are arriving every day for the Saturday morning parade. Entry forms are located in the fair premium book and extras are available at the post office. It's not too late to be a part of the festivities. Some of the Chamber board members would be most happy to have you join their "Poop Troup"! Just wait until you see what those kids can do! And where would the fair be without 4-H kids? They've worked hard all year to get their animals and projects ready. Stop by to see these kids working together county-wide and support the 4-H/FAA auc tion. Kids can teach us much about getting along, seeing pro jects to their completion and being unified. That's what a rural county such as ours should be about. We're much too small to have continual north, south, east, west issues. Only by working together can we grow, advance and provide a good quality of life for one and all. Enjoy fair week and visiting t with friends and neighbors county-wide. It is, after all, adults who set the example for what kids can do. How about a review of "Everything I Needed to Know, I Learned in Kindergarten" by Robert Ful- ghum. Maybe next time...for now, be a kid and have fun at the fair and rodeo.
