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.

RURAL HEALTH
-Continued from PAGE ONE region. 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.
