ports handling the following
business:
Litter clean up has positive effect
To the Editor:
A couple of weeks
ago I o b serv ed a very
positive and encouraging
thing on Main Street, in our
downtown.
What 1 observed was
an employee of M urray’s
Drugs out in front o f the
store with a broom and dust
pan sweeping up the litter
from the street gutter.
This effort only took
a few minutes and yet it
helped
im prove
the
appearance o f our town.
Such efforts are augmented
by the City’s periodic street
sweeping.
O ne o f our m ain
assets as a community is that
we have a very attractive and
well-kept main street. This is
an asset, which benefits us
and makes Heppner a nice
p lace to live. It is also
beneficial to us for attracting
friends, relatives and other
visitors to come to Heppner.
So, I would like to
e n co u rag e all o f our
dow ntow n businesses to
follow the exam ple o f
Murray’s Drugs and clean up
any litter that accumulates in
the street gutters in front of
their stores.
A little effort by a lot
of people gets a big job done,

that
the
alternatives were too costly.
My question is, “What is
more costly than a person’s
life ? ” T here are 1700
com m ercial products out
there containing asbestos,
from baby p ro d u cts to
feminine hygiene products.
And we are just going to bail
them out so they can
continue to m anufacture
these products?
T his b ill d o e s n ’t
cover all the work place
victims, not to mention the
b y stan d e rs on 9-11, or
asbestos airborne because of
n atu ral d isa ste rs lik e
Alabama and New Orleans.
Asbestos when it is disturbed
is carcinogenic. It is not
selective. Call your U.S.
S en ato rs
or
your
c o n g r e s s i o n a l
R ep resen tativ es and tell
them, “NO!” We can make a

To the Editor:
Re: R.R. Asbestos Bailout
Bill -Arlen Spector
A sb estos B ailout
Bill-S-852 is a trust fund put
together by the 13 asbestos
manufacturers (a group of
the Fortune 500 companies).
The S enate Ju d ic ia ry
C o m m ittee (w ho was
advised by Goldman Sachs,
an investment banking firm,
that has substantial asbestos
holdings) and the secretive
lobbying arm of the Fortune
500 asbestos firms called
“A sbestos Study G roup.”
Now this should tell you
right there who is going to
benefit from this bill. Not the
victims.
Asbestos is deadly
and we feel that it should be
banned
to tally
and
completely. The bill does not
do this. What good is bailing
out asbestos companies if
people can continue to be
exposed? There are several
industries where asbestos is

NEGOTIATING THE SALE
Probably the most delicate
part o f selling your home and
the element that means the
most in terms of dollars and
cents is the art of negotiating
the sale with a qualified buyer.
Many people who sell their
own home have trouble deal
ing face to face with a buyer.
They find it difficult to look
him in the eye and say, "I will
have to think about that point
and get back to you.” Few sell
ers have the in-depth knowl
edge of finance and contracts
that ultimately come up in ne
gotiations. It takes years of

study and experience to mas
ter these fields.
The role of a third person
or intermediary is extremely
important. It’s one of the best
reasons to have a real estate
professional in your comer.
Even the largest corporation
and top deal-makers in the
nation have negotiators work
ing for them. Since selling
your home is probably the big
gest financial transaction of
your life, is there any reason
not to be just as prudent?
