Halt!
To the editor:
Last Fall I read in the
newspaper that a rodeo school
was being contemplated for a
lot behind our home. When I
approached city hall for some
information, I was informed
by the clerk that she had no
information of such, but that if
something like this were
planned for inside the city, she
was sure that the planning
commission would hold public
hearings. The mayor also told
me at about the same time
that he had no knowledge of
the project, but would inform
me when he had some infor
mation. At the end of October I
observed grading being done
in the lot behind my house. I
again went to city hall and
asked the mayor what was
going on. He said that he
didn't know that any activity
had started. I asked if any
permits had been acquired
and was told that none had
been applied for. At this time
the city building inspector was
asked to make an investiga
tion of the activity which was
underway.
A few days later I received a
telephone call from the
mayor, who said that his
position was that because the
lot in question was zoned
commercial, the land owner
could do anything he pleased
as long as building codes were
met. Any objections to noise,
odors, etc., could not be com
plained about until they were
actually a problem.
On November 1, 1 received a
telephone call from Jody
Tatone. He had apparently
heard of my concerns about a
rodeo arena adjoining my
property and wanted to reas
sure me that my concerns
were groundless. He stated
that grass would be seeded
around the arena, that there
would be no nighttime activi
ties, that no animals would be
kept there overnight and that
nobody would be allowed to
camp there overnight. After I
In appreciation
To the editor:
I'm taking this means to
express my appreciation of
this great organization, The
Tri-County Home Health
Agency.
I did not know such an
organization existed until my
third return home from the
hospital and having to take
antibiotic treatments three
times daily. Sheridan Tarnas
ky or Karen Thomas was here
every day to administer them
Heppner airman
graduates
Airman First Class Ronald
G. Ward, son of Glen and
Joyce Ward of Heppner has
graduated from the U.S. Air
Force law enforcement
specialist course at Lackland
Air Force Base, Texas.
Graduates of the course
studied general law enforce
ment duties, tactics, weapons
training, physical apprehen
sion and restraint and earned
credits toward an associate '
degree in applied science
through the Community Col
lege of the Air Force.
Ward will now serve at
Eielson Air Force Base,
Alaska, with the 343rd Secur
ity Police Squadron.
He received an associate
degree in 1982 from Blue
Mountain Community College
in Pendleton.
Ttmes. Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, March 31, 1983

EDITOR
had voiced my objections, he
asked if I would rather have a
24-hour truck stop built behind
my house.
On March 24, cattle were
brought into the arena for the
first time. What appeared to
occur was a full day of bull
riding school, accompanied by
dogs, people and noise. The
cattle and one horse were
kept in the holding pens over
night. A similar scene was
re-enacted on March 25, with
one exception. A bull, appar
ently injured, was slaughtered
in the arena on the evening of
the 25th. Again the remainder
of the cattle and one horse
spent the night. On the morn
ing of the 28th, the cattle made
a great deal of noise when they
attempted to whip and electric
prod them into the bucking
chute.
It appears to me that sev
eral provisions of the city
zoning ordinances, specifical
ly sections 30 and 31 have been
violated. Other nuisance or
dinances have also been vio
lated. To my knowledge no
permits were ever issued nor
public hearings ever conduc
ted regarding the rodeo.
The zoning ordinances of the
city of Boardman, section 57,
states that: "The chief of
police of the city shall have the
power and duty to enforce the
provisions of this ordi
nance. An appeal from a
ruling of the chief of police
shall be made to the commis
sion." When the city police
were contacted on March 25
and again on March 26, they
refused to take any action on
the zoning or nuisance viola
tions. I am asking that the activi
ties associated with this rodeo
operation be halted. The
rights of the adjoining land
owners have been ignored and
ridiculed. A rodeo school in
the middle of Boardman is
definitely not in the public
interest.
Sincerely,
John M.Dawson
Boardman
and when I got suddenly worse
Sheridan called the doctor in
The Dalles and sent me back
there, which I believe gave me
a few more years out of the
few I have left. They are now
giving me therapy treat
ments. It's wonderful to have such
people willing to give in the
community.
