Letter to the Editor

Pool would benefit older population
To the Editor:
As 85 percent of the people
over age 60 have arthritis, and
their productive life is length
ened greatly by weightless
aerobic exercise such as would
be possible in a therapy pool,
I find the assertion erroneous
that the pool would provide no
benefit to many people.
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

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

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

Chatter

"Look What Kids Can Do"
and that means you...and
you...and 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.
