Help seniors by donating to Housing
Authority
To the Editor:
We have been
following the articles and
letters about the current
situation at the St P a t’s
Senior Center Apartments,
and we agree that it is the
re sp o n sib ility of, and
o p p o rtu n ity
for,
the
community to make certain
that this facility is available
to our seniors today, and
long into the future So, we
are asking all th at are
financially able to join us in
making a donation to the
Heppner Housing Authority,
earmarking that donation to
go towards the St. Patrick’s
A partm ents m aintenance
and repair, in o rd e r to
minimize the rent increases
(This is a charitable donation
and can be claimed on your
2005 tax form s. Your
donation should be sent to
city h all.) We are very
confident that the housing
authority board and senior
center board will be doing all
that they can to keep the rent
increases to a minimum
We would also like
to volunteer to help with any
work party that would keep
operational costs down. We
are sure that there is major
cost when a resident moves
and an apartment needs to be
read ied fo r the next
occupant A re th e re any
p a in te rs and handym en/
women out there that would
join us in letting the center
know that they are available
to donate their efforts to the
cause?
We know many o f
the current residents and we
want them to know that we
treasure them as friends and
members o f our community.

McCabe-Turner
I am w ritin g to
strongly register my concern
for the potential change in air
em issio n s sta n d a rd s for
Oregon based on existing
standards in California. I am
a registered geologist in
Oregon and California and
an environmental consultant
who has lived and worked in
C alifo rn ia u n d er th e ir
existing Regional Air Quality
Boards. One o f the most
critical aspects o f air quality
management California Style
is the aw esom e de-facto
overlay it creates on future
land use, vehicle c o sts,
commercial and industrial
development and even what
you as an individual can and
c a n ’t do on y o u r ow n
property. C alifo rn ia has
areas where stringent air
p o llu tio n co n tro l w as
appropriate. It also has areas
where the controls instituted
are unnecessary Let’s not
make Oregon one o f those
one-rule-fits-all areas where
California type oppression
via air emissions control is
ad o p ted for the sake o f
political response to hard
line enviro-w hackos who
know not what they preach.
Oregon does not have air
pollution problems outside
o f some limited basins in
stagnant days in mid winter
and late summer. In fact our
air quality has been steadily
improving over the past 25
years. Just ask anyone who
lived in the Eugene or Salem
areas what the air was like
in the ’60s and ’70s in the
summer months.
We cannot afford to
handicap o ur econom ic
g ro w th in O regon w ith
stan d ard s
th a t
w ere
developed for an entirely
different time, place and
meteorological setting Let’s
lead ourselves to a smart and
stab le
econom y
and
environment and let those
who would make Oregon
into California take their
efforts to a place where they
may be appropriate.
G o v e r n o r
Kulongoski, drop SB-344 If
you choose not to, I
encourage our legislators to
do what is right for Oregon
and kill SB-344 and this
effort at de-facto control of
our economy and lives.
