In support of Dave
Gunderson
To the editor,
We are writing this let-
ter in support of Dave Gun-
derson for Heppner City
Council position number
five.
Dave’s Heppner roots
run deep as he and his wife
were both raised in Heppner
and they raised their boys
here. One of his sons and
his wife live in Heppner, as
does his father. Dave taught
many of our children during
his 16 years at Heppner
Elementary and he remains
a dedicated supporter of
our community. He is in-
telligent, stays abreast of
current events on all levels,
and most assuredly, has
Heppner citizens’ best in-
terests at heart.
Our city is facing tough
issues that will require in-
sightful leadership to move
toward solutions. We be-
lieve Dave is the best can-
didate to help examine and
problem-solve these issues.
We hope you’ll join us in
voting for him.
Sincerely,
David and Patti Allstott

Get a Screening Kit and Put Your Worries Behind You!
Colon Cancer is the second most deadly form of cancer,
but it doesn’t have to be. Screening can catch it early
when it’s highly treatable. Unfortunately, too few men
and women in Oregon are being screened. Everyone
over 50 should be screened annually.
RISK FACTORS: The risk is equal for men and women, and
the risk increases with age, beginning at age 50. Other risk
factors include
• Family history of colon cancer
• Diet: diets that are high in red and processed meats in-
crease risk
• Obesity and/or an inactive lifestyle
• Alcohol and smoking
ANNUAL SCREENING: Screenings with a FIT kit, which is a
screening kit that can be done at home that checks for
blood in the stool, should be done annually. Put your worries
behind you!
COST OF SCREENINGS: Most insurance plans cover 100% of
screenings with no co-pays or deductibles. Even without in-
surance, there are low cost options.
HOW TO GET SCREENED WITH MORROW COUNTY
HEALTH DISTRICT: Pick up a free screening kit at Pioneer
Memorial Clinic, Ione Community Clinic, or Irrigon Medical
Clinic and mail completed kits to Pioneer Memo-rial Clinic
PO Box 9 Heppner, OR 97836 or drop off at the same
pickup locations. Returned kits enters you into a drawing
for a $50 Visa gift card (12 will be given away)!
