Letters to the Editor
Few friends in Salem
To the Editor:
Election time is upon us once
again. Working people would be
well advised to consider the favors
the folks in Salem have done for
them recently.
The unemployment compensation
changes which were made to correct
a problem which really didn’t exist.
Over five hundred people were
denied benefits in my area last
Christmas by these unnecessry
changes. Talk about your Bah, Hum
bug. The reinstatement which occur
red six months later, while ap
preciated, does not compensate for
the hardships caused by this callous
disregard for your well being.
The new Workman’s Compensa
tion law that is more concerned with
reducing program costs than treat
ment of injured workmen.
These two laws are essential for
For Frohnmayer
To the Editor:
During August, Dave Frohnmayer
received support of all 36 of
Oregon’s elected county sheriffs. He
also received the endorsement of all
36 of Oregon’s elected district at
torneys. He received the endorse
ment of a large number of Oregon’s
police chiefs. Clearly, this almost
unanimous support of Frohnmayer’s
bid for governor says a lot about his
record in law enforcement.
During his tenure as attorney
general, Dave Frohnmayer has
traveled tirelessly around the state,
meeting with and listening to the
concerns of citizens about crime. I
know of no other public official who
has made a better effort to get to
your survival. They are the only
thing that stands between you and
financial ruin in these days of
econom ic uncertainty. Plant
closures, layoffs, slow downs, etc.
These changes were passed nearly
unanimously by the legislature. This
should be enough to convince you
that you have very few friends in
Salem. 1 propose that we must
change that in November.
The present group does not
desreve your vote. They have clearly
demonstrated that they could care
less about you. Promises now are not
going to change that or their perfor
mance on your behalf.
Find a candidate who will look
after your interests. It will rarely be
one of the incumbents.
Sincerely,

know all of Oregon.
Dave has listened, and then he has
acted. He has acted to get legislation
passed which takes property seized
from drug dealers-property bought
with the proceeds of drug sales. He
has worked to increase penalties
against child abuse. He has acted to
get legislation passed to help victims
of crime. That’s why la>fr enforce
ment people have stood up for him
That’s one of the many reasons why
I’m voting for Dave Frohnmayer for
governor.

To the Editor:
My recent visit with Heppner area
residents at the Saint Patrick’s Senior
Center was both informative and en
joyable, and I write simply to thank
the people for taking time to share
their views and ideas with me.
It is always very exciting for me
to see the positive effects federal
projects and programs have on
Heppner and surrounding com
munities. Of course the Willow
Creek Dam is a particularly good ex
ample, but everything from the

“ Hostas” at the lone Garden Club
meeting on Sept. 12 at the home of

plantain lily family but has roots

of plant liking water. The hosta will
grow in shade, even in our hot dry

given plenty of water. Pat showed

With the end of summer ap
proaching, the oiling season for the
road department nears its end for
another year.
The Public Works Department has

be able to complete all scheduled for
this season.
Four miles of paving on Lower
Sandhollow was done by a contrac
tor. Five miles of the Oregon Forest
Highway project on Willow Creek
was completed, making a total of 18

Pre-leveling, followed with a chip
seal, was done on East Baseline from
highway 207 to Cutsforth. West
Baseline from highway 207 to Jor
dan, Social Ridge, Lexington
Grange Road, Barclay to San
dhollow for a total of 31.1 miles.
Roads to be completed by the end
of September are paving of Huber
Road by September 14, and paving
of three miles of Basey-Sanford the
last week of September by contrac
tor for a grand total of 36.1 miles of
county roads.
The county crusher, located in Ir-
rigon, has been crushing rock this
summer for the scheduled northend
projects, and will be moved to Bren
ner Canyon (Rhea Creek) for winter
crushing of rock for county use.

No on Measure 6
To the Editor:
When I fashioned and helped pass
the Oregon’s Bottle Bill, we knew it
would work because it was simple,
targeted and easy to enforce. This
year, backers of Measure 6, the so-
called “ Recycling Act,” are propos
ing a packaging ban that won’t work-
-because it is too complicated, cost
ly and bureaucratic. I hope you’ll
take a close look at it, and vote no.
Packages used today for many
products are designed specifically to
protect human health and safety.
Measure 6 would ban much of this
protective packaging. The film that
protects the meat you and 1 buy, the
toothpaste tube, and the containers
for diabetic supplies are among the
thousands of items that fail to meet
Measure 6 standards. Substitutes, if
available, may increase the risks to
food safety and public health. They
will also add to the price you and 1
pay for many of the products we buy
every day.
The penalties in Measure 6 will
not apply to major national product
and packaging makers. Only Oregon
retailers and wholesalers who sell
those products will face fines (as
much as $10,000 per day) if the
Ewes R Us
packages fail to meet Measure 6
standards. Only companies here will
face higher costs from new legal
liabilities caused by Measure 6.
For years I’ve helped write state
budgets. I understand the cost of
government regulatory programs.
The bureaucracy required to enforce
Measure 6 will be substantial. Yet
Measure 6 provides not one dime to
pay for a program that must monitor
every product in the state sold by
more than 23,000 different Oregon
businesses, and administer hearings
and appeals on exemptions for
thousands of products annually.
I know you care as much as I do
about improving recycling and pro
tecting Oregon's environment. But
Measure 6, unlike the Bottle Bill I
wrote to solve a specific problem, is
too broadly written to help anything.
It adds to the cost of what you and
I buy, and adds new bureaucracy
which requires higher taxes.
I urge you to vote no on Measure
6 .
Sincerely,
(s) Paul Hanneman
State Representative, District 3
Wheat Marketing Center in Portland
to medical research initiatives seem
to be working for the individual peo
ple of your area.
Again, I want to thank the people
of the Heppner area for their time.
I certainly hope you will continue
sharing your views with me on these
projects and programs as well as any
other issues of importance.

SEE IT
OUR POLICY FOR OVER 40 YEARS

:
This newspaper business has some
advantages.
In the search of a story it’s necessary
to attend a lot of public meetings and
watch the interplay between the various
forces that set public policy. It's ex
citing to be there at the very beginn
ing. Often, an interview with some of
the players, both before and after the
fact is necessary to get the whole story.
Politics, government and the public
sector have long been interests of mine
since those are the areas where not on
ly do you and I have a chance to make
By F.d Glenn
a difference, but the consequences of
our failure to act may bear on us for
a long time. Public business is our business.
Sometimes the story comes to me, like the afternoon Senator Bob
Packwood stopped by to answer our questions on a long list of subjects.
That was pretty heady stuff.
But news reporting goes farther than that. A good newsman goes to all
the basketball and football games and then talks with the stars in the locker
room after the game. Imagine, going to a football game because the job
requires.
And it means scouting out the local folks with a story to tell. The real
war heroes, the pioneers and the new business folks. Everyone has a story
if we could just find time to tell it. And they all fuss over a picture. I love
to take pictures of people who are not used to posing. You can sure tell
a lot about a person’s personality when you ask to take their picture.
There's lots of things to report at the schools too, especially the great
enthusiasm of kids. I love kids and the unexpected things they do so cover
ing a story at school is a great assignment.
Some stories you can plan well in advance. Do the background research
carefully and then plan the interview. You can think about the photo angles
and how to write the headline. The interview goes off perfectly because
you’ve anticipated the follow up questions and the story goes together with
impact because you have plenty of time to write and rewrite.
Then of course, there's the story that breaks out of the blue just before
deadline. No time for research. You grab a camera, note pad and dash
to the scene. A bunch of pictures because you never know what will turn
out. A few hurried questions about the essentials and then back to the
typewriter before the last pasteup and the presses roll.
Most stories fall someplace in between. But it’s never the same, never
dull, never boring.
Some kinds of stories are my favorites. I like fishing stories. Last spring
the walleye fishermen were a constant source of photos of big fish and
non-stories about where they were caught. Fishermen talk a lot but not
about where they caught the big one. But lately, a good fishing story is
hard to come by.
In spite of the good advice against it, sometimes a reporter becomes
part of the story. He takes a public stand and then writes about it That's
frowned upon in the business but it happens sometimes
Now, I don’t always follow the best advice that comes my way. I usual
ly suffer the consequences, but I still strike out on my own once in a while.
And that’s what it’s all about this week. I like a fishing story so much
I’m going to ignore all the good advice about not getting involved.
While you read this, count on one thing. I’ve gone fishing.
