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.

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. The
ornaments should be at least six
inches and weatherproof. A
good was had by all last year.
Come join us.
Chamber will again host
Lunch With Santa on Sunday,
Dec. 15 and the Holiday
Lighting Competition will be
judged Sunday, Dec. 22. If you
would like to join in helping
with any of the December ac
tivities, stop by the Chamber
office on Tuesday or Wednes
day, or call 676-5536.
Thought for the week: The
holiday season is as meaning
ful as we make it. What are the
memories you had as a child
that you wish to pass onto
another generation? What new
memories can you create?
