What are city’s priorities?
To the Editor:
I do not understand the priori
ties o f the city government.
I understand there is a dog
leash law in Heppner. So why
doesn’t the city manager, city
mayor, city council and city police
enforce the law? Oh, yes, I have
asked. The excuse is, the city
doesn’t have the money. It would
seem to me when the city council
voted for the law, they should have
voted the funding to enforce the
same.
On W ednesday last week, I
pulled some weeds, mostly grass,
from my yard near the street. I
tossed most o f the clumps in my
own driveway, but I did toss 12-
14 clumps into Hager Street.
On Thursday evening, my door
bell rang. A gentlemanly city po
liceman handed me a sheet o f
paper. It was page 195 of the city
cod., Section D under Streets and
Sidewalk Offenses was outlined
in colo'ed ink. It says-Injurious
substances on streets: It shall be
unlawful for any person to will
fully place or deposit upon any
street or public way any substance
tending to mar the appearance or
detract from the cleanliness or
safety o f such street or public
way.
Friday morning my little dog
barked. She was in the house. I
looked out and three dogs were
on my side of the street; one was
in my yard. I went out and shooed
them all back up to the street. A
few minutes later, a city mainte
nance pickup came by. It had to
stop to keep from hitting the dogs.
The dogs continued on into Hager
Park where some of them depos
ited their morning doo-doo piles.
What are the priorities of the
city government? I think grass
clumps are cleaner than piles of
dog manure.

sensus to im plem ent the

all outgoing fifth, eighth and 12th
grade students who met the pre
viously established criteria The
first awards will be given at the
spring academic awards in the
year 2000.
lone schools’ principal Dick

and test dates. During the week
o f April 5, third, fifth, eighth and

math and reading/literature tests.
Science and social studies tests
will be given to fifth, eighth and
10th grades during the week of
Apnl 19.
The topic o f students of the
month was revised. Allen had vis
ited with school counselor, Barb
Peterson, about the status of stu
dent of the month, as well as the
possibility of adding other aca
demic awards that could help stu
dents filling out scholarship appli
cations. Peterson reported that the
middle school has been selecting
students based on a m onthly
theme. She also said that she
would gather information from
other high schools as to the type
and number of academic awards
presented.
Allen reported that the site
council should expect to change
the recently approved school im
provements plans due to a change
in the format o f such plans. He
will report further when he re
ceives exact criteria.
The site council approved re
quests from Linda Jones and
Betty Rietmann to attend a read
ing workshop in Portland, and
from Chris Davis to attend a Nike
basketball clinic in Las Vegas. A
discussion followed concerning
the use of site council staff devel
opm ent funds for teacher-
coaches to attend workshops as
opposed to non-teacher coaches.
Also, up for discussion was the
issue of allowing more than the
$250 limit per teacher to cover
additional workshop expenses if
funds were still available. The is
sue was tabled until site council
chair, Steve Schaber, could gather
information from other schools.
In honors and recognition,

$ 100 savings bonds from the Elks

the Cardinal Booster Club. She
reported that the scholarships
givenby the two clubs will remain
the same, but their funds and ef-
forts have been combined. She
encouraged all school employees
ar>d organizations to first try bud-
geting f°r needed items, but to
come to the Cardinal Booster Club
»f other attempts for funding fail,
The new club will be available to

hvities.
The site council meets again on

way out o f the jam.
Pendleton loaded the bases
again in the top of the seventh with
two out, but had a runner thrown
