Sports program made a difference
(Editor's note: The following
letter, submitted by the Heppner
High School Booster Club, was
sent to them by an HHS
alumnus.)
Dear Booster Club,
Thank you for sending me an
invitation to take part in your
annual auction. As 1 now live in
Wenatchee, Washington, about
four hours drive away, I will not
be able to attend. I am, however,
glad that I have somehow made it
onto your mailing list, as I am
greatly in debt to the Heppner
High School sports program, and
would like to provide some
support to it now and in the
future.
As a freshman at HHS, I was
your classic doofus, and may
have set some sort of record for
low grade point average for the
year.
I remember it was
something like a 0.9 . . .a GPA
hard to get, even in this day and
age.
The turning point came on the
day that Doug McClure, the track
and cross country coach, noticed
that even though I couldn't think,
I could run. He took a chance
and asked me to go out for cross
country, if I thought 1 could get
my grades up. 1 got my grades
up, then ran for three years at
HHS and four years in college. I
was never off the honor roll or
the dean's list for the rest of high
school and eight years of college.
I like to think there are others
who have benefitted, and will
benefit just as much as I have
from sports at HHS.
Please accept the enclosed
donation, throw it into the
general sports funds, and send
yearly reminders for more.
(s) Your fellow Mustang,
Timothy J. Smith (Class of 1967)

Vote yes on Measure 51
To the Editor:
Will the people or Oregon
stand up this time around on the
physician-assisted suicide mea
sure and vote yes to repeal it?
Ethical doctors do not want the
responsibility to assist in destroy
ing life. There is no place in the
medical profession or society for
laws that authorize them to kill.
Their healing role is compromised
by such laws.
Consider Biblical values. We
are created to overcome any atti
tudes or circumstances that try to
take away our gift of life, includ
ing depression, disablement, trag
edy. We are stronger and very ca-
pable of enjoying life in the worst
of circumstances because we are
created with a divine purpose and
a destiny. Even if we can’t see or
understand how our existence has
any purpose in it, God does see
and does work out his plans and
purposes. For us to end our life or
someone else’s based on our views
of their quality of life makes us
God, as if we know what is best
for any living human being. Vote
yes on Measure 51.

The cement Heppner logo at the
intersection of Main and Willow
streets in Heppner may have to
be replaced, according to Tony
George, Oregon Department of
Transportation project manager
for the Heppner Mam Street
Project.
George, who is based in
Hermiston, says that tests
conducted at an ODOT lab on the
strength of the concrete on the
west side of the street indicate
that the concrete does not meet
strength standards. He says that
preliminary tests on the east side
of the concrete logo indicate that
it also is substandard.
George says that cylinders and
core testing have confirmed that
the west side has only 85 percent
of its intended strength. ,
He added that the 'real' test of
the east side cement will be
conducted at 28 days after
pouring the cement, but early
cylinder tests indicate that it is
also "coming up low" in strength.
George said that the concrete
sub-contractor, Pendleton Ready
Mix, has two options—one to
leave the concrete in place for no
pay and guarantee a minimum of
two years without spalling

George says that problems in
concrete can arise
when
something is wrong in the
batching of the concrete mix-
when proportions of water,
cement and aggregate are not just
right. This results in concrete that
is not as durable.

As a teenager, Bill Gothard
creator of IBLP, was concerned
about the wrong choices which
many of his classmates were mak
ing for their lives. He began to
present Biblical principles to them
through weekly meetings in his
home, radio broadcasts, retreats
and other projects.
In 1961 he was ordained and
commissioned by his church to en
large his youth work to inner-city
gangs, school groups and church
youth groups. Four years later he
was invited by the college from
which he graduated to teach a
course in “Basic Youth Conflicts”.
His first class consisted of 45
pastors, youth leaders and college
students. He taught them the Bib
lical principles he had learned dur
ing 15 years of youth work.
