It is time to find out what is going on To the editor and residents of Lexington: It’s time we all need to wake up and try to find out what’s going on. Things are getting pretty stinky in Lexington. The city council recently raised the water rates and then turned around and hired another full time recorder. Since when does a town of 180 people need two recorders w hen the job could be done adequately by one part time (20 hour person). Everything is already planned before the meetings. The minutes and bills are not read. The council sits at the table and mumbles to themselves. If some of those in the audience try to speak, they are told they are out of order or their concerns are ignored and disregarded. Everything is decided undercover and hush-hush. We think maybe this is a good time to think about some recalls. The people and taxpayers of the town de serve better. Bob Taylor Lexington Who do we believe?

Water Street led to the selection of this site as Heppner’s Yard of the Month for September. Not a season passes but this yard, owned and maintained by David Zachry, has some thing to show. The coming of spring brings a colorful array of red and orange poppies, perky irises, tulips, michaelmus daisies, bleeding heart, Eng lish Wood Hyacinth, and lavender to this residence. Throughout the summer months it is alive with some ¡40 petunia plants. Along the front walk they flourish in bright pinks. Around the edges of the front yard and framing the back walkway they resonate in vibrant red, white, and burgundy. Snap dragons, coral bells, gladiolas, sedum, and alys- sum add additional color and texture. The property’s boundaries are outlined with a variety of roses, which include a creamy white Jack Kennedy, pink and yellow Peace roses, and a bright red American Hero. Raised bed flower boxes along the front of the house boast var iegated marigolds. Autumn finds Mr. Zachry collecting their seeds to save for next years sowing.

He combines his interest in gardening with his continu ing interest in children by providing the Heppner third grade classroom with a fresh bouquet of flowers each week of the school year. The arrangements come from his own garden as much as possible. His community involvement also includes mowing the little league baseball field and surround ing area. Not only does Dave serve his community, he has honorably served our country in the U.S. Army during the Korean conflict. As a part of the 2nd Infantry Division he found himself close to the front lines with the responsibility of retriev ing and administering first aid to the wounded, and recovering the dead. Dave credits his in terest in gardening to his mother. He remembers w ith admiration her determina tion to maintain a flower garden, even though she was a widow raising her seven children, of which he was the youngest, dur ing the depression years. Retired, widowed, and in lis seventies, Dave exhibits David Zachry received the September Yard of the Month award from the Heppner Garden Club. a similar determination as he faithfully plants, waters, weeds, and mows to add to the beauty of his neighbor hood and community.
