to avert closure
as a logistics specialist which
involves the acquisition, control
of, and distribution of resources.
The role of the American Red
Cross in a disaster is to provide
food, water and shelter for
victims.
"This will give me an
opportunity to see the start up ot
an American
Red Cross
operation," said Ruttan. "It will
help our local Red Cross
Chapter as it plans for a possible
chemical
incident at the
Umatilla Chemical Depot."
Ruttan received notification on
Sept. 23 and traveled to Atlanta
on Sept. 24 for a three-week
assignment. Ruttan was also
activated for the Pnneville flood

with recovery efforts during the
ice storms near Lake Placid, NY.
Padberg family
plans potluck
The Padberg f amily will meet
at the lone Grange Hall,
Saturday, October 10, for a
reunion and potluck dinner,
starting at 10 a. m.
Visiting the Padbergs from

Berthold and Gisela Padberg and
their three children, Christian.
Andrew and Thomas.
The last meeting of the family
clan was June 3, 1982. when the
descendants of Henry Padberg
hosted the Morrow County
Pioneer Memorial Picnic.
All family members and
friends are invited to attend and
to bring their pictures and
memorabilia.
To the Editor:
Ms. Cara Osmin,
Chairman, Board of Directors
Morrow County Health District
Dear Ms. Osmin:
The Heppner Chamber of
Commerce, representing the
well-being of the businesses and
people in Heppner and outlying
areas, and knowing what a
disastrous effect the closure of
Pioneer Memorial Hospital and
Nursing Home would have on
this
rural
area,
strongly
recommends the following
actions by the Morrow County
Health District Board of
Directors:
-1) That Pioneer Memorial
Hospital and Nursing Home be
operated as usual, admitting and
welcoming new patients for at
least 90 days.
-2) That the loan package
offered by the Bank of Eastern
Oregon be accepted in order for
the facilities to continue
operating through the end of the
year.
-3) That the offer by the
Hospital Foundation to hire an
outside/independent consultant
be accepted. The Heppner
Chamber of Commerce will
assist in any way we can.
We feel that the above actions
would give the board, staff,
community members and the
outlying
population
an
opportunity to consider possible
alternatives to closure. A
hospital here means saving lives,
giving people a sense of
security, maintaining jobs, and
serving outlying communities
such as Spray, Condon, Fossil,
Lexington and lone as well as
the many farming and ranching
families who depend upon this
Heppner facility. A nursing
home means keeping families
together and letting people
continue to live in their
hometown when they require
full-time care.
Again, we urge the Morrow
County Health District to give
our community a window of
opportunity to do all we can to
prevent closure. This is our life
blood, literally.
