To the editor:
I would like to "thank" the
person who dug up the rose
bush we planted by the old
swimming pool. The one you
put in its place was dead.
I would like to ask you why
you did that? You didn't take
somthing from us, but from
everyone in this city, who en
joys something on their walks
other than weeds, which, by
the way used to cover this en
tire block.
We have planted trees,
shrubs and flowers. We have
cleaned up broken glass, old
rusty nails and all kinds or gar
bage so everyone can enjoy it
more. We also water and main
tain it for the better of all.
What you did is one reason
so many feel like, why give up
their time effort and expense?
So on behalf of all in this city
who do want to take pride in
the effort they have put forth
in our city, so all can enjoy it
just a little bit more. I say
shame on you.
Sincerely:
(s) Gerald and Sonya Smith

Don't turn back on child abuse
To the editor:
I have often asked myself,
why do people turn their backs
when they know a child is be
ing abused? Most people hear
the abuse and see the abuse the
children are forced to tolerate,
children are forced to tolerate.
Most individuals know child
think either it's not their
responsibility to interfere, or
they fear revenge from the
abusive parent(s).
I always hear, the authorities
should do something. But they
can't even begin to without a
complaint first. Then the
authorities have to investigate,
which requires a lot of paper
work, before they can even
beging to investigate. Part of in
vestigating means asking the
abusers questions. They also
question the child sometimes
they are too afraid to tell the
truth. Most neighbors don't
want to get involved, especial
ly if it means going to court. So
conveniently friends, neighbors
and relatives forget to tell police
or CSD what they see, hear and
know so the cycle continues.
The child goes back to the
abusive home, if they had even
Births
Tyler Luke Julian-a son Tyler
Luke was bom to John and Jana
Julian of Portland, on March 19,
1996 at Good Sam aritan
Hospital in Portland. The baby
weighed 9 lbs. 3 oz. He joins a
brother Nicholas IV 2 , at home.
Grandparents are Betty Mar-
quardt and the late Carl Mar-
quardt of Lexington, and Mr.
and Mrs. John G Julian, Fresno,
CA.
G reat grandparents are
Truman and M arguarite
Messenger, Lexington and
Phyllys Bennett, Prescott, AZ.
Rolando Flores Il-a son,
Rolando, was bom to Elizabeth
Mesta and Rolando Flores, Ir-
rigon, on June 16,19% at Good
Shepherd Community Hospital
in Hermiston.
The baty weighed 71bs.
been removed from it to begin
with.
At this point the abuse not
only continues, it usually gets
worse because the parent(s)
blame the child for the trouble
(they caused). After going
through this a couple of times
children because of terror don't
talk about what happens to
them at home any more. They
start to learn talking gets them
hurt more.
We as a society and the
system let these kids down in
too many instances. If any of
you wonder why we have so
many people in jails or mental
institutions just think about it.
If you are an abuser, get help.
There is a Parents Anonymous
meeting every Thursday night
7 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the back of
St. Pat's Church in Heppner.
The meetings are free. They
also have free baby sitting
while the parents are in the
meeting. At the PA meeting
they can also give parents other
info on places they can also go.
If you are reading this and
not a parent and know about a
child being abused report it.
Think of the child, not excuses
to ignore the problem.
