Bindery David and April Sykes, Publishers Letters To The Editor Law enforcement officers support Fronmayer Dear Editor, One of the main issues facing Oregon is crime. The problem of drugs in our schools and workplaces should have a very high priority. So should the problem of drug-infected babies, along with child abuse. When we elect our next governor, that person should be someone who has the experience to deal with these crime-related issues. When you ask law enforcement people, the answer is obvious-Dave Frohnmayer. All 36 of Oregon’s elected coun ty sheriffs have endorsed Dave Frohnmayer. So have a large number of police chiefs. This is an unprecedented show of support from the people who are in the front line of the fight against crime. They have seen how he has provided, as at torney general, the leadership on new legislation to fight drug abuse, child abuse and other crimes. Ask law enforcement people who the best candidate for governor is and th ey ’ll tell you. Dave Frohnmayer! Dean Gilman Heppner Day Care Center Applauded To the Heppner Community, Having taught a 4 week pre-school Hands on Science course this sum mer, I had the opportunity to use the Heppner Day Care Center. During this time I observed the daily on goings of the Center and was very impressed. I wanted to take this time to share with the community how impressed 1 was with the Center. The Center is staffed with very caring, patient, and energetic people. Each child’s individual needs are met. The meals/snacks are nutritious. There is a safe place to play and quiet area when needed. All in all I wish to commend the Center and let Hepp ner know how fortunate we are to have this facility. Karen Beck Heppner Can’t swallow loyalty to party To the Editor: Recent letters from Craig DeMo move me to answer and rebut them. Craig's letters reflect an over- zealous Republican Party loyalty that I can't swallow. Hector McPhearson.a Republican, is given credit for Senate Bill 1000 that created LCDC, and Republican Governor Tom McCall did not veto it. McCall even organized an oligar chic gang called “ 1000 Friends of Oregon" to hand pick LCDC direc tors and to oversee the operation. The 1000 Friends think Oregon is their own private park. There is only one thing worse than a socialist-oriented Democrat like Barbara R oberts: a liberal Republican. Sixty years ago the voters of Oregon elected an independent for governor, and 1 think it is high time we did it again. Don’t let Dave Frohnmayer buy your vote with his big bundle of dollars. A1 Mobley is a solid conservative and I think 75 % of the voters lean that way, so vote for a person who will represent you. I am a registered Republican and 79 years old. Please join me in voting for A1 Mobley, and leave the sales tax promoters holding the emp ty bag. Russell F. Morgan Beavercreek, Or Births Heppner Booster Club meet Sept. 10 Heppner Booster Club meeting will be held at 7 p.m. at Ployhar In surance on September 10 to work on the planning of Reno Night.

Cesar Joel Cardenas-a son, Cesar Joel was bom to Salvador and Clara Cardenas of Boardman on August 24, 1990 at Good Shepherd Hospital in Hermiston. The baby weighed 8 lbs. 4 ozs. Maria DeLourdes Medrano-a daughter Maria DeLourdes was bom to Lourdes Rodriguez of Boardman on August 18, 1990 at Good Shepherd Hospital in Hermiston The baby weighed 9 lbs. 3 ozs. To the Editor: Who said that A1 Mobley can’t win; someone could have been look ing at the Ouija Board'.’ Have they heard him speak? Have they read his multi-issue platfomt or examined his credentials, or are they being pro grammed by the media and parroting the “ war cry,” “ If you vote for Mobley, Roberts will get in ," “ So be it.” We have survived bad gover nors before. Frohmeyer is not the answer; he is an unswerving liberal, a Rhodes Scholar. He led a pro-abortion march last fall in Lane County. This spring he was co-host of the national abortion rights league to a fund raising banquet in Portland (pictures available). Let's stop this American holocaust, the slaughtering of un born babies through the nine months of pregnancy, at the tax payers expense. Hasn’t he made it clear that he would sign gay rights legislation if In the Service Navy Airman Recruit Steven N. McCabe, son of Melvin McCabe of Irrigon. has completed recruit train ing at Recruit Training Command. San Diego. During McCabe’s eight-week training cycle, he studied general military subjects designed to prepare him for further academic and on-the- job training in one of the Navy’s 85 basic fields. His studies included seamanship, close order drill. Naval history and first aid. Personnel who complete this course of instruction are eligi ble for three hours of college credit in physical education and hygiene. McCabe joined the Navy in April 1990. it came across his desk? We hear that Mobley lacks ex perience; he has extensive ad ministrative experience handling large staffs and large sums of money He knows the constitution which is a prerequisite to good government. Mobley is the only can didate who is solidly Pro-Life, against the sale tax (which is another tax), against swindling the tax payers out of their property rights by L.C.D.C., against gun control, he is pro business, pro timber and for education reform. This is a three-way race (35 percent could win). There were 190-700 in Oregon who voted in the primaryy who did not vote for Frohnmeyer nor Roberts. The people had no choice of their convictions. As 1 have said before, let’s return government back to the people. “ Mobilize with A1 Mobley.” (s) Mary Hickey 812 Beacon Drive Eugene, OR And will be offering the following services: Haircuts Perms Weaves Waxing Fiberglass Nails Acrylic Nails Pedicures Manicures Ear Piercing Products: Paul Mitchell, Mastey, VaVoom by Matrix CHERTS m TUES - FRI 9 am - 6 pm Every other SA T. 9 am -1 pm Walk ins welcome 124 C h u rc h S tre e t 676 - »«Oil Early Bulls Possible fo r Patient Bowhunters Heppner Police Report The Heppner Police department reports handling the following business during the past week: August 27: 9:00 a m.-Two dog com plaints; 7:24 p.m .-A ssist Juvenile Dept.; 9:07 p.m.-Report of suspicious noise.

One three-year-old male By Anne Morter is n o w w o r k in g a t C H E R I’S When this year’s eastern Oregon ar chery season began on August 25. it ac tually felt like hunting season, for a change. The cool, rainy weather that preceded set the stage perfectly for a misty, sneaky opening morning in most of the region’s mountainous country. For archers after big, Rocky Moun tain bull elk, it seemed the perfect mor ning to just sit in the pre dawn stillness and wait for the first nerve-shattering scream of a rut-crazed bull to flood up or down the canyon, giving away the position of a trophy to be homed-in on, and later collected. Most of the bowhunters who tried this, however, undoubtedly had a long wait, as someone apparently forgot to tell the elk what a perfect morning this was to be vocal. Indeed, despite the sudden switch from the typically sweltering, dry August heat, the elk were still in their sum mer pattern. Of course, this was good news for those who had also purchased ar chery deer tags, since late-summer mule deer patterns often dictate that the bucks will still be running in groups of three to six, and are apt to view humans as more of a curiosity than a threat—even at close range. But for those bent on perforating a trophy wapiti, it means waiting until rutting activity progresses, dulling the senses of lovesick bulls and increasing their predictability. Or does it? The bulls are already experiencing hormonal changes which drive them to a predictable, daily routine that astute bowmen can key on-the in creased use of wallows. Pre-scouting before season is the best method of finding well-used wallows, but hunters who have stumbled upon a musky mud hole dur ing the previous season can almost be assured it will be used again this year. Bulls begin to use wallows well before they begin to strip the velvet from their antler, and continue to do so throughout the rut. And while a particular bull may not return to the same wallow every day, rest assured he will wallow somewhere, especially in warm weather. Hence, if you find and stake out a wallow that is being actively used, odds are good that sooner or later you’ll get a peek at a bull—if, that is, you’ve the patience to sit and wait. Many successful bowhunters build tree stands within shooting range of their favorite wallows, since elk don’t expect danger to come from above, and because human scent will often rise upward, out of detection of game. Others prefer well-hidden ground blinds located downwind of the logical approach to the wallow, figuring that ground-level shots are easier to make than those angled sharply downward. In either case, don't increase the monotony of waiting by arriving at the spot too early in the day. Most wallow standers agree that bulls generally arrive between about 4:00 p.m. and dark. If you get there too soon, chances are you will be fidgety by the time your bull shows up, resulting in a blown opportunity. As the rut progresses and bugling increases, it can be tempting to leave your stand at the sound of a bull sounding off or rubbing trees nearby. If you do, don't be in a big hurry to use your bugle. The rising populari ty of bowhunting for elk over the past 10 or 15 years has the woods fall of novice buglers with couterfeit-sounding equipment. The result, this writer believes, has been creation of many suspicious, bugle-wise bulls. A few soft cow calls can get you into position (though bulls may still be indifferent to females at this stage), while a series of convincing grunts can finesse him in front of your broadhead. Elk populations remain favorable throughout most of eastern Oregon. And while successful bowhunting in the 90’s may call for some subtle changes, stick flickers willing to adapt have as good a chance as ever of hanging a trophy bull on their wall. Navy Fireman Recruit Randell N. Hanson, son of Nelson Hanson of Heppner, recently returned from deployment to the Western Pacific and Indian Oceans while serving aboard the frigate USS Knox, homeported in Long Beach, Calif. During the six-month deployment, Hanson participated in various military exercises including Exercise Team Spirit ‘90. He also visited several foreign ports in the Republic of the Philippines, Japan, Singapore, Australia and Hong Kong. Exercise Team Spirit ’90 was designed to improve the defensive readiness of U.S. and Republic of Korea forces. The exercise involv ed more than 25 U.S. Navy ships and approximately 23,000 Navy and Marine Corps personnel. A 1989 graduate of Heppner High School, Hanson joined the Navy in September 1989. was transported to Good Shepherd Hospital with an unknown illness.

Lady Cards meet Culver Friday r~ s lf h> M ark Ungili After two consecutive runner-up finishes at the State Volleyball tour nament and two undefeated league seasons, the lone Lady Cardinals are facing the year from a new stand point. According to Coach Jocelyn Jones, who is starting her eighth year coaching at lone, the team is inex perienced after six seniors, the core to the 1989-90 team, were lost to graduation. While they may not be the powerhouse they were the last couple of years, Jones is happy with the progress the girls are making on offense and defense, and she feels the team is blending together nice ly, something she says is essential in volleyball. The Cards kick off their season at home this Friday with a match against Culver. The varsity plays at 5 p.m. followed by a JV match. On the agenda this season are tour naments at Wahtonka High School and Mt. Hood Christian in Portland along with regular league plav The tournaments should give the Car- dinals a chance to play teams from different areas of the state. Much to the advantage of the Cards, most of the Big Sky League's strength is on the West Side. Jones and her contingent hope to take ad vantage of the weaker East side to grab a district berth. Jones has just three players with half court experience with the rest being new to varsity play. Fourteen girls turned out with the possibility of a fifteenth being added this week. The Lady Cards put two weeks of daily doubles under their belts before school started and are now looking forward to their competition. Coach Jones used her summer constructively by attending some women's volleyball matches at the Goodwill Games and attending a coaches clinic. “ We have a well-rounded team, maybe even more so than last year," says Jones. “ There are no real domi nant players-everyone blends and that's to our ad v ai^^e” she added Classes of 1916-40 Attend reunion in lone By Anne Morter Johnny Eubanks, Hardman won for having the birthday nearest to A crowd of approximately 95 peo Sept. 2.
