Commends new school board member
To the Editor:
When I read the front page
story in your paper about the
plight of the first grade parents
wanting the school district to
add another first grade teacher,
I had to comment about one of
our newest school board mem­
bers, Russ Morgan.
I want to use this means to
congratulate Russ for his in­
terest in the immediate situa­
tion and discuss it with the
parents. This is why the board
members are elected to their
positions. They need to know

Chamber
Chatter
By Claudia Hughes, Chamber Manager
Mark your calendars to at­
tend the Oregon East Sym­
phony Chorale in Concert this
Saturday, Nov. 4 at 7:30 p.m.
at St. Patrick's Catholic
Church. Because of donations
of local businesses and indi­
viduals, this evening of profes­
sional music is brought to
Heppner free. Ordinarily, tick­
ets would be about $10 each.
This is quite an opp.oj-qinitv:
usually one has to drive over 50
miles to experience a concert
such as this. Let's give the par­
ticipants a warm welcome en­
couraging more musical events
for Heppner.
Spooktacular credit goes to
creative employees who put
their boss's face on a pumpkin.
There were some very interest­
ing entries, including some
with bodies. The finalist was
Greg Sweek of the assessor's
office.
In addition to judging the
pumpkin finalist during Cham-
ber's Tuesday Halloween
event, members present each
put to rest ghosts contributing
to the demise of Heppner and
brainstormed on pumpkin
"round tuits". The sooner we
get around to it, the better
Heppner will be, ideas for '96
and beyond.
As the calendar page turns to
November, Chamber members
need to be turning in nomina­
tions for Board members, pre­
paring to light the town for
Christmas, planning for Town
and Country and setting goals
for 1996.
The business meeting is set
for Tuesday, Nov. 7, upstairs at
Kate's. A buffet will be served.
Visitors are welcome. The first
Tuesday of each month all com­
munity entities report on cur­
rent activities, concerns, etc.
It's all about communication
and working together. Join us.
Thought for the week: "It is
better to debate a question
without settling it than to set­
tle a question without debating
it."
