Fundraising to acquire enough money to run sports and activities at La
Grande Middle School and La Grande High School for the coming school
year is a sign of the challenging economic times we live in. Most of us
agree that sports give our youth opportunities to learn things like
sacrifice, teamwork, hard physical and mental effort, tenacity and a
cooperative yet competitive attitude. All of these are very important
qualities for life success.

Editor’s note: The following was written Thursday night in
response to an Observer editorial and submitted Friday morning before
Friday’s significant turn of events in the Elgin murder case.
Thursday’s Observer editorial surprised and disappointed me. Surprised,
because newspaper editorials are supposed to be objective and factual.
This one was neither. It disappointed me, because Observer editorials
almost always are.
This community is understandably upset and concerned by the recent
discovery of human remains in and around a pond near Elgin. Those of us
involved with the Major Crime Team are, too. The paper got pretty
strident in taking us to task for not releasing very much information.
Let me try to explain why we haven’t.

Rumors are flying throughout the county concerning the dismembered body parts — a hand and a head — discovered in a pond near Elgin last Friday. Everything from two or three people having disappeared in recent weeks to “extra’’ body parts being found in the pond are among the rumors circulating — rumors that seem to grow more bizarre hour by hour.
And what does the “Major Crime Team’’ investigating the case of a hand and a head being found in a pond have to say?

Keeping county fairs viable these days isn’t easy to do. All counties seem to be faced with challenges in keeping their county fairs alive. Throw in the recession and they’ve got an added challenge on their hands.
But in Union County, fair directors have been fine-tuning and looking for new ways to attract fairgoers. Last year the fair added free admission, partly offset by paid parking. But still a good bargain for anyone looking for inexpensive entertainment.
