Who Rules America? is the question that Professor G. William Domhoff asks in his current book of the same title. Professor Domhoff will address these issues in a special presentation at Blue Mountain Community College in the Pioneer Theater on Thursday, February 4, at 7 p.m. Domhoff, a professor of psychology at the University of California, Santa Cruz, has done extensive research on social class and the power structure of the Untied States. He has written numerous books on class and power including "The Higher Circles", "The Powers that Be", and "Who Rules America Now?". Domhoff presents evidence that suggests there is a social upper class in the United States which is a ruling class by virtue of its dominant role in the economy and government. The presentation, sponsored by the Blue Mt. Community College Social Science Department, is free to the public. For more information, contact Tina Martinez at 278-5925.

( B 4 1 ) Barbara Struther* (not pictured) Barbara Struthers is a Pacific Northwest homesteader, growing up on a farm in Poverty' Gulch, Idaho. Prior to moving to Heppner, she lived in Condon where she and her husband raised two children. She has always been active in her church and in activities with her children and grandchildren. Struthers is one of the most active seniors in the community, said presenter Ann Spicer. She does bookkeeping for the senior center, is on the senior nutrition committee, organizes the seniors' entertainment and writes for the Gazette-Times. She, too, is "quietly instrumental in nearly every church activity at St. Patrick's Catholic Church." For six years she was a weekly volunteer at Heppner Elementary School, working with second graders to develop reading skills. "She gets as much from the second graders as she gives, which shows in the joy she brings to her volunteer work," said Spicer. The evening's entertainment included musical performances by Final Warning, the Sentimentalists and Rick Drake and Brent Dickenson. The guest speaker was Mema Debolt, who gave an entertaining performance as Lucy Meriwether Marks, the mother of Northwest explorer Meriwether Lewis. The Morrow County Fair and Oregon Trail Pro Rodeo Queen Bobbie Rankin and her princesses, Brooke Boyer, Nonnee Walters and Tracy Rankin, were crowned by past queen Maci Childers, now a member of the Pendleton Round-Up court. Master of ceremonies Larry Mills gave an update of the situation concerning the closure of the Kinzua Resources mill in Heppner. "We need to look at it as positive as we can," said Mills.
