Jenkins Street clean up To the Editor: Once again Jenkins Street looks like what it is supposed to be, a city street and not a dump. The City of H ep p n er P u b lic W orks D e p artm en t did an outstanding job of cleaning up th is e y eso re in approxim ately four hours tim e. The way the street looks today is probably the way it looked fifteen or twenty years ago, before it w as a llo w ed to becom e overgrown with weeds, and filled w ith trash . My co m p lim e n ts to B ruce Nelson and his crew for a job well done.

I would like to lift up some advice that is over three thousand years old. In his book that we call Deuteronomy, the great re lig io u s lead er M oses advised that “one witness is not enough to convict a man of a crime or offense ...A matter must be established by the testimony of two or th ree.” T hirteen hundred years after Moses lived Jesus of Nazareth further advised that it is best to carry your grievance personally to the person who offended you, and if necessary to bring a witness or two along. Part of the reasoning for this is to allow the p erson w ho offended you to have a fair opportunity to defend them, at the moment of accusation. Our entire justice system is based upon this ancient but obviously just advice. Lately, it seems, we have decided that justice is b e tte r serv ed w hen in d iv id u a ls are allo w ed public forums, such as our community newspaper, to defam e th e ir n e ig h b o r without the defamed person being allow ed to defend themselves at the immediate same time. Not only does th is b rin g to m ind the potential for law suits for defamation of character, but it does not speak well for those of us who allow such em barrassing behavior to continue. I believe it is time for us as a community to once again embrace what is perhaps the oldest and best ad v ice o ffered to any c iv iliz a tio n : tre a t your neighbor the way you would like to be treated. (s) Pastor Keith J. Brudevold H ep p n er U nited Methodist Church Middle School Football team recognized for sportsmanship To the Editor: I want to comment on the middle school football game 1 attended a couple of weeks ago between Heppner and Athena-Weston Middle School in Weston. My twin boys play for Weston and when the game was over, my boys came off the field and said that the Heppner team w as the n ic e st, m ost sportsm an-like team they played all year. No trash talking, swearing, or dirty tricks like some we played. The co ach was polite, well mannered but got his job done. Heppner sends three tim es the fan support other to w n s’ do, which is nice to see. They are vocal but polite. We sat right with them (as the view is better) and it was a pleasant experience. Your team and town are a credit to the league and you should be proud o f them.

T he second book e n title d Sudden C ounty, author Karen Fisher, was presented to the library in memory of Marian Brosnan. A Sudden Country is a vivid and reveling novel based on actual events o f the 1847 Oregon migration. The story follows two characters of remarkable complexity and stren g th in a jo u rn e y o f su rv iv a l.
