To the Editor:
Members of the Morrow County
School Board:
1 am hearing that in response
to a shortfall in the Morrow
County School District of close
to $1,000,000 that a proposal is
being considered to cut all
electives from Heppner High
School.
Thirty years ago when our
daughter
graduated
from
Heppner High and went to
Oregon State University to study
pharmacy, she was required to
take a course using calculus at
the same time she was taking a
calculus course. The pharmacy
curriculum is offered in a set
sequence and it would have cost
her an extra year of college if
she had not tackled this
schedule. Heppner High had
offered no calculus course for
her.
At this same time 30 years ago
some lone students took their
senior year at Heppner. Now
they can opt to take their junior
and senior years at Blue
Mountain Community College.
With no electives being offered
The first meeting of Pins and
Pots and Patterns and Pans was
held on Friday, Oct. 1, at Mary
Jean Meyer's home. She is the
group's leader.
Members elected officers and
also picked the club's name. The
club is a cooking and sewing
group.
Krystal Naims is the president.
Jackie Meyer is the vice
president. Whitney Matthews is
the treasurer/secretary. Emily
Bergstrom is the reporter. There
are six girls in the group. They
are: Whitney Matthews, Megan
Orr, Krystal Naims, Brianne
Jones, Jackie Meyer and Emily
Bergstrom. They worked on felt
quickies. They are made with
felt and are sewn up with
embroidery thread. They also
learned the blanket stitch.
sure where she'll go to college
and what her major will be.
"I like to write," adds Amber.
"It will probably have something
to do with writing. I want to get
up in the morning and know
what I'm doing will make a
difference and have fun doing
it."
Amber, who was bom and
raised in Heppner, is the
daughter of Richard and Teresa
Flaiz.
Amber Flaiz
Many 16-year-old girls seem
too obsessed with their hair,
makeup, clothes and social life to
think much about the less
fortunate. Amber Flaiz of
Heppner admits she likes to buy
clothes and Cds with her hard-
earned cash, but also thinks
about people who don’t have the
money to spend—even on the
necessities-and she puts her
money where her mouth is.
Amber donates 10 percent of
all the money she earns doing
babysitting or (Wher part-time
jobs to buy food for the Heppner
Neighborhood Center. The
center distributes food and other
items to needy families and also
distributes
Christmas
and
Thanksgiving food baskets.

something," says Amber. "It's

CM. SAUSAGE CO,
Family has potluck reception
Wolf réintroduction not good for Oregon
To the Editor.
1 join many of you in this area
who are concerned about the
possible impact upon Eastern
Oregon of the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service's (USFWS) wolf
réintroduction program for the
northern Rockies.
Thus far. it appears to be yet
another example of federal land
management policy made with
little or no regard for local
communities
and
private
landholders.
No one can argue that USFWS
has not been successful in its
effort to reintroduce wolves to
central Idaho and Yellowstone
National Park. Over the objections
of many landowners, wolves are
thriving once again in the Northern
Rockies, quickly becoming a
federally mandated financial drain
on ranchers and other property
holders.
Earlier this year, when the female
wolf "B-45" strayed into Oregon,
it confirmed what many of us had
been saying all along: these wolves
do not recognize state boundaries
and will not always stay in the area
where they are first reintroduced.
In discussions I had with top
Fish & Wildlife Service officials at
that time, I made it clear that stray
wolves should be removed
immediately.
I asked federal
wildlife officials to work with
property owners in Eastern Oregon
to help them better prepare for
these instances, as well as expedite
future removals. I expressed my
belief that USFWS has a
responsibility to manage these
growing wolf populations and not
to stand by passively as wolves
establish packs in Oregon or other
neighboring states. Last May, I
was assured by USFWS in a letter
that "the Service’s wolf recovery
plan for the U.S. northern Rockies
has no designs on recovering
wolves in Oregon. The present
recovery plan and the recovery
goals in the experimental rule do
not require wolves in Oregon or
other states outside of the recovery
area in order for us to achieve
recovery in the northern Rockies."
However, due to the
réintroduction of wolves in Idaho.
