If a contestant does not follow the rules for the event in which they are com peting then they would either be dis qualified or penalized accordingly. After the Morrow County Rodeo the question came to my mind as to why one contestant was allowed to ride two handed. I contacted one of the rodeo direc tors and was told that in a women’s rodeo, they are allowed to ride with both hands. However the Tuesday August 21 edition of the E.O. shows Justice Court ___ Report___ The Justice Court office at the courthouse annex in Heppner reports handling the following business dur ing the past week: Helen M arie Shaw, 24, Hermiston-Exceeding the Maximum Speed Limit, 73 mph in a 55 mph zone, $37 fine; Steven Edgar Edgerly, 25, Stanfield-Failed to Transfer Title, $20 fine; Levi Thomas Bowman, Jr., 44, Elgin-Exceeding Truck Speed, 65 mph in a 55 mph zone, $37 fine; Steven Andrew Shoup, 24, LaGrande-Exceeding the Maximum Speed Limit. 65 mph in a 55 mph zone, $38 bail forfeited; women bull riders” riding with one hand. In my opinion, if men and women are going to compete in the same event, then they both need to be under the same set of rules. (s) Larry Palmer Heppner Health Dept.

Yesenia Jeanette EASTERN OREGON OUTDOORS b> Mark Baytll An investigation by Oregon State Police earlier this spring has led to the discovery of several fraudulent pur chases of resident hunting and fishing licenses by out-of-state hunters, accor- . ding to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. Based in the Burns area of southeastern Oregon, the investigation helped confirm longtime suspicions that license fraud is a growing problem in Oregon and could explain why non resident license make up a curiously low two to three percent of total license sales. “ Other western states typically have 12 to 15 percent out-of-state hunters,” said OSP Major Roy Hyder. “ Our findings seem to indicate that our true percentages of out-of-state hunters are more in line with theirs.” According to ODFW Licensing Supervisor Andy Auskaps, the eight individuals exposed in the Burns operation alone had made fraudulent purchases which would have cheated the department out of approximately $25,000. “ The first problem with Oregon licensing is that you don’t have to prove who you are,” Auskaps said. “ You can go up to an agent and say your name is Billy Jean Smith and your address is 123 Main Street, Portland, and they'd have to sell it to you.” Auskaps said while there is no way of knowing how many violations occur in Oregon each year, the department suspects lost revenues to be in the millions of dollars. “ There’s three problems that we see in the licensing system of Oregon,” he said. “ The first is non-residents buying resident licenses by giving a fictitious address or a friend’s address, the second thing is that many non-residents have a summer home in Oregon or vacation in Oregon long enough to become known in an area and are mistaken for residents by the agent, and the third thing we have is that residents are buying multiple licenses by giving either the same name or a fictitious name.” k Auskaps said the department has completely re-formatted the hunting and fishing license form to eliminate confusion by the licensing agent and the purchaser, and is also acquiring a new computer system which will enable personnel to track every hunting and fishing license and tag sold in 1991. “ That will help us to catch the in-state residents who have been buy ing multiple tags on slight variations of their names,” he said. In addition, Auskaps said the department will propose to the commis sion at their September 19 meeting that regulations be changed to re quire proof of identification from license purchasers. In most cases, he said, a valid Oregon Drivers License would suffice. If the “ proof of ID” proposal is approved, Auskaps said, it would put an end to the “ gift license” purchased for one person by another, although special gift certificates will be available from the department to maintain the traditionally popular gesture of using hunting and fishing licenses as stocking stuffers or other gifts. “ The only difference,” Auskaps said, “ is the recipient would have to go down to the licensing agent and provide proof of ID along with the gift certificate to get his license." Auskaps said officials in other western states are taking license- purchase violations very seriously as well, telling of another recent sting in which game officers from five western states suspected several Mon tana individuals of claiming residency and purchasing resident licenses in Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon and California over the past three years. Working together, the officers visited the individuals and when they claimed residency in one particular state, the officers from the other states each issued the appropriate citations.
