To Senators Packwood & Hat
field: Public Servants
It has come to my attention
SB-627 dealing with confisca
tion of private property in the
Columbia Gorge has been
recommended out of commit
tee without any additional
public hearings! This illegal
bill, similar to HR 3S53 is
contrary to the U.S. Constitu
tion Article 1, Sec. 8-17, and
the Bill of Rights Article V,
Excerpt: "Nor be deprived of
life, liberty, or property, with
out the due process of la w ; nor
shall private property be
taken for public use, without
just compensation."
SB-626 and Hr3853 indicate
the federal government is
advocating stealing 48 square
miles of private property
without due process just
compensation. Quoting a Uni
ted States Senate publication

DA.'s Report
The Morrow County district
attorney's office at the Mor
row County Courthouse in
Heppner handled the following
cases during the past week:
Tony Lee Wyatt May, 22,
of Kennew ick, Wash, pleaded
guilty to four charges of First
Degree Burglary in Morrow
County Circuit Court on Feb
ruary 22. May was charged
with burglarizing several
cabins in the Penland Lake
area last fall. District Attor
ney Richard McNerney said
six other counts of alleged
First Degree Burglary against
May were dismissed because
the burglaries were part of the
same criminal act and the
charges would merge. He said
if the case went to trial he felt
May would only be convicted
on four or five of the counts. A
presentence investigation was
ordered.
Charles F. Ferguson, 31,
pleaded guilty to First Degree
Sexual Abuse (a Class C
Felony) in circuit court on
February 22. He was sen
tenced to five years of proba
tion. Feliz Enriguez, of Her
miston, no age available, was
arraigned on a charge of
alleged First Degree Theft on
February 24 in circuit court.
The charge alleges that Enri
guez stole a rototiller in Irri
gon in January. He is to enter
a plea March 2.
On February 24, Calvin
Clay Papineau, 21, of Lexing
ton pleaded guilty to First
Degree Burglary for burglari
zing the Micky Sharp resi
dence in Lexington. McNer
ney said over $100 was taken
in the incident. Papineau was
sentenced to five years of
probation and must make res
titution to Sharp and must
reimburse the state for court
appointed attorney fees.
John D. Hecker, 25, of
Boardman, was convicted by
a jury of Second Degree Cri
minal Trespass and two
counts of Menacing on Feb
ruary 21 in justice court. The

The Ancients
claimed
that the god Vishnu searched the depths of
the sea tor a pearl to adorn his daughter on her
wedding day. Since pearls were considered
carriers of love, happiness and good fortune,
this was indeed an appropriate gift.
Of course, even without magical powers, pearls
are an excellent choice for a bride On this special
day she wants to look her best, and notning Is as
flattering as the pearl's unique glow.
