Who rules America?
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.

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

princesses, Brooke

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.
Ann Spicer, on behalf of the
Soroptimist Club, announced
that the club has terminated its
relationship with Soroptimist
International to reorganize as a
local
community
service
organization.

from previous chair John
Edmundson o f Heppner, who
was not seeking re-election.
Current vice-chair Carrol White
o f Maupin and secretary Joe
Weber of Moro were re-elected
to their respective positions. Sue
Newstetter of Mt. Vernon, was
elected as treasurer, taking over
for Tim Kimble.
Jauregui, of Service Creek,
says she is excited about the
possibilities that have been
created. "We have generated a
lot of momentum and raised a
good amount of money for
marketing activities in our
region," she said. "We have
reached a point where people
will start seeing some noticeable
results."
With Kimble stepping down, a
new representative from Grant
County
must be
found.
Newstetter says it will be hard to
replace Kimble. "Tim is going
to very tough to replace; he did a
lot of great work for us. But I
am confident a representative
from Grant County will step in
and serve our council well."
