LETTERS Deserve better To the editor: I am truly amazed at the court system in this county (Morrow). As a native of Morrow County 1 have been more than impressed by men and women who have adminis tered the law. C.J.D. Bauman, in my opinion, was one decent man that for years served this county with distinction. I cant exactly remember the total number of deputies that Clarence had, maybe one or none. How many do we have now, are the citizens receiving any better service now? Phil Mahoney used to be the district attorney of this coun- . ty. I might not have agreed with Phil but he had at least the sand in his craw to talk to anyone there was, as it should be an open and available means to county files that pertain to individuals that have questions. The present district attor ney, in my opinion, hides behind his office and creates personal vendettas against citizens. The time was when people in this county, would if there was any dispute with a neighbor, face that person and lay it all out. The person in the position now runs like a little child to an office and refuses to be open. This date, February 21, 1984, I observed a so called trial in the courthouse. The lady judge yawned and acted as if she was bored stiff. On mak ing a point of law in a ruling, the judge stuttered, never Vote to keep To the editor: There is a season and a purpose for all things. The season of casting a ballot is with us again. Na tionally, the state primary elections for presidential candidates have begun. Local ly, we will be casting our ballots, March 27, on the Mor row Co. School Dist. Rl budget. The purpose of each of these is to reaffirm a "right" that is denied to a great part of the world's populatin. Yet, some of us take it so lightly. Per haps, for a different perspec tive, we could change the spelling to "rite," which means the performance of one's duty in a solemn cere mony. Of the 1,316 registered vo ters in the Heppner-Hardman-Ruggs area, 546 voted on the first County School Dist. bud get in 1983 which was defea ted. A total of 552 voted the second time when the budget passed. This means that less than half of the registered voters are rejecting or passing the budget.

Main EDIT0Rif' county services quoted an Oregon law or any thing else. I hear a great deal about injustices around the world, and courts and officers of the court are supposedly open, yet when pertinent information from the district attorney's office was asked (for), the information was refused. On the 26th of November, 1982, a false court order was filed against me, it had Judge Ralph Currin's name on it without Judge Currin's know ledge or permission, yet when I asked the district attorney's office about it, I was denied a copy of the false court order. I also asked the presiding judge for a copy and she stated she was unable to do so (provide a copy). What is the D.A.'s office attempting to hide? Is it above board or is it operating a cloak of secrecy? The document (false) is somehow not available, although both Judge Currin and the ex-district attorney had knowledge of the false document, along with several other people. I wonder what became of it? This county, in my opinion, is filled with hard working men and women who are not afraid to stand tall with their faces to the sun. You deserve better services in the above mentioned areas of Morrow County. Sincerely, ArtBergstrom Box 564 Arlington, OR 97812 good schools' neglect our "rites." The proposed budget for 1984-85 is not inflated for the purpose of surviving a first round "no" vote, even though the Heppner area has defeated the school budget on the first vote every year since 1976. A very competent budget com mittee of tax paying citizens has worked with school people, and the school board to pro pose the best budget possible for our tax dollars. The tax rate of $7.17 per $1,000 assessed value for 1983-84 testifies to the dili gence of these people. Com pare our tax rate of $7.17 to those of Pilot Rock, $16.30; Echo, $28.12; Umatilla, $17.49, Hermiston, $14.16; Stanfield, $17.88; Athena-Weston $13.24; Helix, $17.73. I urge those who recognize a bargain when they see it to unite with the other communi ties in Morrow County School Dist. Rl to pass the budget and avoid the added expense of a second election. Protect your investment vote to keep good schools. Aloha DeSpain Heppner graders will take standardized achievement tests which have been given annually since 1974, the district has an nounced. Later in the spring, students in grades one through eight will also be given achievement tests. According to John Edmund son, assistant superintendent, classroom teachers can use achievement test results to analyze individual students' strengths and weaknesses in . subject matter areas. Tests , cover reading, mathematics, language arts, social studies and science. The school district board and administration uses the district results to identify areas that need more empha sis within the district or within given schools. In general, Morrow Coun ty's students score at or slight ly above national averages in the various grade levels and subject areas, according to Edmundson. Although the testing takes quite a bit of time and ex pense, the district feels that the information justifies the expenditure. Approximately k $4,700 is budgeted annually for ' scoring services and testing supplies, he concluded. Health Dept. Friday, Mar. 9 free blood f pressure clinic and immunl rations. Morrow Co.
