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!

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.

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.

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

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.”

By Anne Morter

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.

Lady Cards meet Culver Friday

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
