Lower manager’s salary would alleviate city’s money problems To the editor, In a recent city council meeting I read that the city was having inancial woes. It is my suggestion that the city manager donate some of her salary to alleviate this. I understand she makes close to $75,000 per year. As people know, the city had a survey done which leaves me with no lat space for a burn pile. Through a mutual acquaintance I am told the city manager said that if were to get rid of my dog statue, she would issue me a burn permit. If this is not blackmail, I do not know what it is.

On their last day, sicians down the line,” said Paul Gorman, M.D., assis- tant dean for rural medical education, OHSU School of Medicine. There is a desperate need in Eastern Oregon for competent, caring and dedi- cated health care providers who truly want to invest in the region. Rural com- munities want doctors who are just as excited to create a life and work in their rural town as the teachers, loggers and ireighters for whom they provide care. Medical students will be immersed in rural health care delivery by participat- ing in job shadows and having dinner with hospital leaders and providers. They will interact with local high school students and get a feel for why rural Oregon is a great place to live and play by enjoying extramu- ral activities unique to the students will come back together to discuss the ex- periences they had in the communities. “Each medical com- munity has been so gracious to invite students to shadow in their hospitals or clinics and provide dinner with an opportunity to meet with hospital administration and providers,” said Meredith Lair, executive director of NEOAHEC. Grande Ronde Hospi- tal, St. Anthony Hospital and Morrow County Health District will be hosting these medical students at their facilities. “Giving my classmates the opportunity to learn more about and hopefully fall in love with rural Or- egon, like I have, is what this trip is all about,” ex- plained Huddleston, OHSU MD candidate 2019, from Seaside, OR.
