Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, October 24, 1990 - THREE ONPA For Roberts The Official Newspaper of the City of Heppner and the County of Morrow s s i s s ^ Frohnmayer has experience To the Editor: For my husband and other sport smen, a candidate’s position on issues of gun control is one of the key areas on which we base our votes. Barbara Roberts came from a hunting family and supports the sportsman’s right to own and use guns in pursuit of their outdoor quarry. Barbara also supports the need and rights of law enforcement to possess the necessary weaponry to combat crime in our state. So if someone tells you that Barbara Roberts will take your guns away that is simply not true. What Barbara Roberts does believe and support is a fifteen-day waiting period for anyone who wishes to purchase a new weapon. This allows local law enforcement officials to make sure that the pur chaser of the gun is not a person with a history of violent crime or mental health problems.

Barbara Roberts is a common-sense politician who believes in personal liberty and will work to protect individual rights, in cluding the right to bear arms. So if you’re a sportsman like my family, join us November 6 and cast your ballot for Barbara Roberts for gover nor, she will work for all of us. Sincerely, (s) Patty Ewing-Broker Pendleton For Willow Creek Park District tax base Write in Pat Wright To the Editor: The Morrow County Tourism Committee supports the tax base for the Willow Creek Park District. They are asking for $41,000 which amounts to less than $12 tax on a $50,000 home. The Willow Creek Park District has accomplished quite a bit since it was formed over three years ago. It is dedicated to developing facilities «v i, , for residents as well as for tourists, and will continue to do so if funded. It attracts grant money far in excess of any tax money it receives, and spends the money locally on con struction and labor. Please join us in voting in favor of this tax base. Sincerely, (s) Doug Rathbun President Morrow County Tourism Committee To the Mayor and citizens of Heppner, We were among the 1850 cyclists who participated in Cycle Oregon in September, and we want you to know that we very much enjoyed our stopover in Heppner. It was wonder ful to ride into town after a long, hot day of biking and find a warm welcome and a good dinner. We especially enjoyed our tour of your historic courthouse, and our pleasant walk around the town after the heat of the day was over. We could see that Heppner is full of warm, friendly people. Everyone was very nice and they went out of their way to be helpful. This was our first real bike tour and you certainly helped it to be full of happy memories. It was our first visit to Heppner, too, and we hope to return soon.

Pat is a person who has served the public as a nurse at Pioneer Memorial Hospital, a county school board member and as Morrow County Health nurse for the last 16 years. As a health nurse she has been a proven administrator and has serv ed all the citizens of Morrow Coun ty, particularly senior citizens and school children from the whole county. As a ranch-raised native of Mor row County, she is familiar with the needs of the whole county-showing no favoritism. Pat also is the first candidate ever to have expertise in the health and social needs of our people. Pat is conservative with public funds and insists on getting full value for money spent. I think that it is time to get a commissioner who is aware of the social and health needs of this rural county as well as the other administrative duties of the county commissioner. Write in Pat Wright for County Commissioner. S in c e re ly , (s) Pat Pettyjohn a rougher economy next year. Dave Frohnmayer has the breadth of experience we need. He also has the ability to build bridges and bring people together. Those are qualities we need. Please join me in supporting Dave Frohnm ayer for governor in Oregon. (s) W.

By unseating a tired and complacent Hatfield, a little more control and involvement by all citizens can be achieved. Oregon is not for sale. With Harry’s election, special in terests, PAC’s and Fortune 500 cor porations will own one less senator. If you are tired of $57 billion S&L bailouts, growing deficits and debts for your childrens grandchildren, vote to free Oregon from these greedy amoral corporations and their PACs. Besides your vote you can donate $50 per voter or $100 per couple that may be deducted from your Oregon Income Tax, free. It is a painless way to be patriotic. America has never needed you more. Be sure to vote, be involved, contribute your time, money, ideas, yourself. Harry Lonsdale believes in the voters of Oregon. Sincerely, (s) Ted Sampson Irrigon Against Measure 5 Roberts has tough plan on crime To the Editor: As a public official and former law enforcement officer, I know the toll crime takes on our communities, our families and our schools. Barbara Roberts has a tough plan for com batting crime and drugs in Oregon. Ms. Roberts plan addresses the causes of the problems, not just its symptoms. Barbara Roberts supports a strong Community Corrections program as well as tougher sentenc ing for those who repeatedly com mit crimes. She knows that criminals must be held accountable and that this takes a community-based effort. Barbara Roberts supports strong parole and probation programs and ensures that those individuals To the Editor: I am writing to urge everyone to vote for Dave Frohnmayer for governor. I think Dave’s track record as attorney general and as a legislator give him more of the type of experience which our next gover nor needs in the next decade. I'm also concerned that Barbara Roberts will be more of a ’’tax and spend’’ liberal than this state’s economy can stand as we head into sentenced are held accountable in side our prisons and out. Prison space is still needed so Bar bara Roberts supports prison con struction, but feels that this is just one leg of a truly effective criminal justice system. Increased funding for crime prevention through communi ty corrections (parole and probation) is the long-term key to solving the crime problem in Oregon. We have to ensure that the current large number of repeat offenders are drastically reduced ad this can only occur through holding the paroled and probation offender accountable. Umatilla County has a model pro gram for electronic house arrest, which should be encouraged throughout the state. Barbara Roberts will offer leadership and support for these type of innovative and cost-effective programs. Barbara Roberts knows that solv ing the Oregon crime problem will require everyone’s help, but most of all she knows what it is like to be at the local level. That is why on November 6, Barbara Roberts will have my vote for our next governor. Sincerely, Glenn Youngman Hermiston To the Editor: If you knew that ballot measure #5 would not protect Basic School Sup port, would you support or oppose this measure? If you knew that Property Tax Limitation measure would remove an estimated $2.9 billion from the funds available to pay for higher education, human resources, en vironmental protection and prisons, would you favor or oppose this measure? If you knew that the Property Tax Limitation measure would take con trol of spending away from local voters, would you support or oppose this measure? If you knew that police, and fire services would face budget cuts under the restraints of ballot measure #5, would you support or oppose this measure? If you knew that the Property Tax Limitation also applies to timber severance taxes, which are used to offset property taxes, would you support or oppose this measure? If you knew that classes of proper ty such as farmland and timberland would lose their special assessment, would you support or oppose this measure? The members of the Morrow County Educational Association know of these potentially devastating effects of the Property Tax Limita tion ballot measure #5, and have taken a position in opposition to this measure. We strongly urge the voters of Morrow County to do the same. Sincerely, (s) Sarah Carlson President MCEA Mobley opposes taxes To the Editoi: Anyone who is interested in no further taxes should consider who they vote for as governor of the State of Oregon. Both the major party can didates Dave Frohnmayer and Bar bara Roberts want to have Orego nians pay more taxes, preferably a sales tax. The only difference is how much sales tax do you want? A1 Mobley opposes new taxes. He thinks the taxes in Oregon are already too high. Anyone who votes for the major party candidates for governor is voting for more taxes. Vote for A1 Mobley for governor. Sincerely, (s) Brok Tucker Hermiston Hatfield’s “ GRANDE FINALE” Sale Begins Thurs.
