Rodeo competitors should go by same
rules
two pictures of “ professional
To the Editor:
It is my understanding when so
meone competes in a rodeo event,
they are subject to a certain set of
rules for that particular event. 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

In my opinion, if men and women
are going to compete in the same

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.

The City of Heppner reports that
a water sample taken during the
month of August 1990. exceeded
federal drinking water standards for
coliform bacteria. Chlorination of
the reservoirs has been done as
required.
Coliform bacteria are not harmful,
but are used as an indicator of
overall water quality. No health risk
is indicated in this case, and the
bacteria could be present due to a
number of causes, including dirt in
the reservoir, lack of flushing of
dead end mains, or sampling error.
No action by water customers was
warranted but federal and state
regulations require that the city pro
