SIX- Heppner Gazette-Times. Heppner. Oregon Wednesday. November 20. 1996 Reading program begins 10th year The R & W Reading Program, which provides incentives for reading and rewards for stu dents who reach reading goals, has begun its 10th year at Heppner Elementary School (HES). The owners and operators of the R & W Drive In, Patty and Alex Rystedt, and Carol and Scott Hollis, provide the treats as a way to encourage students to develop the habit of reading. "They recognize that the abili ty to read is crucial in all aspects of daily life," said Linda Shaw, HES reading specialist. Teachers will determine ap- propriate goals for students based on the age and reading ability of each child. The goals include a required amount of reading and a project, said Shaw. Projects in the past have included reading logs in which the student learns skills of cita tion and summarization; dio ramas on significant plot ele ments and formal explication of the author's purpose. This year, the program began on Nov. 4 and will end April 3. Students who have already reached reading goals and earned certificates are fourth graders Jon Cain, Liz Orwick and Jenny Whalen. By Marton T f n . i f i i-M It's great to have election propaganda fade out of the picture. Too bad we can't start with a clean slate. Now it would be plea sant to hear news with a positive upbeat. Yet headlines declare that teen drug use is up; Oregon's tax cap will hamper educa tion; more action to stop Northwest salvage rider logging sales; and, after several years and thousands of dollars already spent, the haggling continues about using an incinerator for chemical weapons disposal at the Umatilla Ordinance Depot. Makes one want to stick his head in the sand ostrich-fashion, but it's hard ly wise to leave one's rear end exposed to the elements. On a more expansive scale, the U.S. is supposed to be the peace keepers of the world, even though we can't clean up our own backyard. And I'm not talking about my efforts to clean out bam horse hockey to put that natural fertilizer on the garden. You probably read about the $4.5 million project financed by the Trust For Public Lands and Bonneville Power Administra tion to purchase 16,500 acres in the Wallowa Valley to return ownership to the Nez Perce indian tribe. Perhaps other cattle ranchers should sell out and cut their losses. Another livelihood might be working at one of the Indian-owned casinos or by manufacturing glass beads for their artwork. Yet those ranchers who hang tough in the beleaguered livestock industry seem to accomplish more from grassroots efforts than from influence of the hierachy of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association in efforts to sustain use of natural resources and preserve an industry. There's a lot of negative reports on food additives, the use of pesticides, growth hormones, herbicides, etc., that question food safety. However, Americans are living longer than ever before. But the scariest under-publicized health safety factor is proper inspection of meat coming into this country as verified by two federal meat inspectors that don't have any axes to grind. According to federal meat inspector Bill Lehman, the U.S. Department of Agriculture inspection team used to inspect one out of 15 truckloads of meat coming into the U.S. Now they are looking at approximately one in 50 semi-truck loads, and all they do i» open up the trucks, look through it and stamp "USDA ap proved." Once it crosses the border, it is considered American beef. The law states that it is illegal to bring any ground meat, ham burger, into the U.S. that doesn't pass inspection, but Lehman says there are loads of ground meat coming across the border uninspected. Glenn Fries, a USDA federal meat inspector for 30 years, states that a lot of this meat comes in from overseas through Canadian ports. He claims he has seen meat contaminated with broken implement pieces and grease. He reported that the Australian meat coming through has been thawed and refrozen so many times that it is "ju n k ” . But is is mixed with American beef and sold as inspected. According to Lehman, it was foreign meat that was responsi ble for the E. Coli outbreak. Yet our government is allowing the U.S. to become the dumping ground for questionable foreign meat. And the thousands of live cattle coming into this country, thanks to the NAFTA policy, has helped to depress the cattle market for American producers. The NCBA is going to allocate $850,000 to help Japan clean up a E. Coli problem that isn't related to American beef. Although Japan is one of the largest importers of American beef, if it isn't our problem, why should check-off dollars be used for this ven ture? To safeguard Americans, it would seem that proper federal inspection would be a more important issue. Yes, it's true that we eat our own meat most of the time. And this winter, we'll be chewing on deer and elk meat that we've carved up. But we occasionally "g raze" at a fast food restaurant and 1 would like to think that I'm not trying to digest a kangaroo leg that's been dragged through the outback. It's time that con sumers wrote their representatives to get proper inspection of imported meat on the front burner and join hands with American producers who are trying to stay out of the frying pan.

Chamber Chatter By Claudia Hughe», Chamber Manager There's something so relax ing and refreshing about spen ding an afternoon raking leaves, especially if they are large maple leaves easily plied and easily whooshed over the fence with each gust of wind (obviously, this m ethod wouldn't work with neigh bors). Some of the largest and most varied in color are being saved for the Thanksgiving table. May you have a happy one. Everywhere there is pre-holi day activity, from craft sales to photographing wee shepherds and angels on the hillside. Watch for O'Lucky the Snow man's calendar of Heppner Main S tre e t hap penings. O'Lucky will beckon shoppers with punch card enticement, a Reno trip, special Sunday events, a scavenger hunt and much more. Saturday, Nov. 23, will be M u rray's Hallm ark O pen House and a good time to find treasures for special people all around town. The local busi nesses are making every effort to make your holiday shopping pleasant, less stressful and to give you the opportunity to leisurely shop after church. Your Chamber invites one and all to participate in the Deck The Tree event on Sun day, Dec. 8, at 4:30 p.m. Gather around the community tree to add your personal, organiza tion, church, business or classroom ornament and enjoy music and hot chocolate.
