East Oregonian
Two ile for Wheeler County Judge
Election comes on heels of recall
By GEORGE PLAVEN
East Oregonian
A pair of local oficials
have iled to run for Wheeler
County Judge in the
November general election.
Lynn Morley, a county
commissioner from Fossil,
and Candy Humphreys,
county transportation coor-
dinator, will vie to succeed
Patrick “Chris” Perry. Perry
was recalled by voters during
a special election Aug. 15.
Since the recall took place
more than 62 days before
the general election, the seat
was added to the ballot for a
new six-year term. The iling
deadline was Tuesday.
and spent another two years
as assistant manager at Three
Valleys Ranch. A full inter-
view with Morley could not
be completed by press time.
Humphreys is the founder
and coordinator of Wheeler
County Community Trans-
portation, which provides
shuttle service to seniors,
veterans and those with
disabilities. Prior to the recall
of Perry, Humphreys said she
originally planned to retire
from the job next year and
run for county judge against
the incumbent.
“The timeline just got
moved up,” she said.
Humphreys, who lives in
Spray, also spent six years as
Spray City Recorder and is a
current Spray city councilor.
She also serves on both the
In addition, Gov. Kate
Brown is expected to appoint
either Morley or Humphreys
to ill the position through the
end of the year. A spokesman
for the governor said that
announcement should come
before the end of the week.
Wheeler County is the
smallest county by popu-
lation in Oregon, with just
1,358 residents. The county
judge not only presides over
juvenile and probate hearings,
but also chairs the county
commissioners and serves as
the head of local government.
Morley has served as a
county commissioner since
2014. For 32 years, he owned
his own logging company
Spray and Wheeler County
community school boards, as
well as the Northeast Wheeler
County Health District.
Humphreys was born and
raised in Wheeler County, and
returned to raise her children.
Her son, Chris Humphreys, is
now the county sheriff. She
said she would do a good job
leading the county forward.
“I have been involved
with the county for 23 years,”
Humphreys said. “I’ve gone
through three judge admin-
istrations. I’ve seen what
works and what doesn’t
work.”
The 2016 general election
will be held Tuesday, Nov. 8.

STANFIELD — Six
water sources in the
Stanield School District
contain elevated levels
of lead, according to a
Wednesday press release
from the IMESD.
The district has closed
all six sites — three each
at Stanield Elementary
School and Stanield
Secondary School — until
they can be repaired and
retested.
Over the summer, Table
Rock Analytical Lab of
Pendleton tested 22 water
sources in the district.
“The Stanield School
District has complied with
Oregon state guidelines
to test our water sites and
we are now addressing
the sites where elevated
levels were detected,”
said superintendent Shelly
Liscom in the release.
Ingesting lead can lead
to damage to the brain and
nervous system, especially
in young children.
