The G-T reserves the right to edit Pioneer Memorial a life saver To the Editor: Concerning Pioneer Memorial Hospital in Heppner: 1 am not one to get involved in affairs. But, seven years ago I was fortunate enough to have the fa cility to get to quickly. Dr. Ed., Sheridan and staff, with their knowledge, brought me around, stabilized me and airlifted me to Bend where I had bypasses that saved my life. So for seven years, I have been able to go on with my job and the long hours it involves. If it had not been for them I would not had a second chance. I believe there are many oth ers in this area that could say the same. (s) Sam Scott Heppner Daycare, preschool provide quality care To The Editor: We would like to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of the board of directors, Mary Brannon and Sue Norton, and the staff and volunteers of Heppner Daycare and Preschool. When we first moved back to Heppner the daycare and preschool did not have the best reputation. We have watched this facility struggle to keep open, and over the past year some major changes have occurred, improving the physical condition, the inside environment, the preschool curriculum, and especially the quality of interaction and care of children. Although we have not used the child care services, we can express our satisfaction with the preschool. Conner is always excited to talk about what he does there, to share his art work and the songs and stories he has learned; he has also made great friends with many of the other children. There have been times though when Conner has come home tearful, just because he did not want to leave. Good job guys...keep it up.
