Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, May 13, 1992 - ELEVEN Letters to the Editor Student for library district Fels advocate for education IT’S NEVER TOO EARLY TO PROTECT YOUR CROP FOR HAIL! To the Editor: We are writing this letter in support of Peter Fels for district court judge department 2. We support Judge Fels for a number of reasons, but we would like to identify one area particularly. He is a real advocate for education. He strongly believes that how people perceive the justice system is very important. At the invitation of teachers in our area Judge Fels has visited classes to discuss issues about the Please call WHEATLAND INSURANCE CENTER in lone for your crop insurance. Our rates are lower than last year, plus there is a cash discount; AND if you have the MPCI with us, you will receive an additional discount! judicial system. He has also in vited classes to visit his court to observe and to become ac quainted with the proceedings. After sessions he has then taken time to explain what the students saw and has answered questions. We believe that Judge Fels’ in terest in connecting the judicial system to education is important for voters to consider.

As the mother of two children I am deeply concerned about the number of drunk drivers on our streets. These individuals drive under the influence many times before they are caught.

It means that we have a real choice this time. In position No. 2, I am voting for Jeff Wallace because I thnk that he has the temperament and training it takes to make a good judge. Crimes like domestic violence and drugs have become a real problem in this area. Jeff has been prosecuting these types of cases as a district attorney and would bring that experience to the judge position. He has dealt with the police who are investigating drugs in our community. He knows the problems that police deal with in our legal system and the problems that crime victims face as well. Jeff is also extremely fair in the way that he deals with people. I think that is a very important quality for a judge. Please vote for Jeff Wallace for district court judge in department number 2 on May 19. Yours very truly, (s) Valerie Pahl Pendleton only pay if they want a card. With the new plan, all of the residents in the district pay only $10-12 a household, or 25c/$1000. It would be beneficial to all in volved if there were a library district. I feel that with all the ser vices the Boardman Library of fers (such as story hour, tax help and access via computer to many other libraries in the area), I would be very sorry to see our library closed. The opportunities to have a vast bank of informa tion for research, story hour, help filling out their first tax form, or even just to read a really good book are opportunities that would be sorely missed by the young people in this area. Please vote yes for the formation of the Oregon Trail Library District. Sincerely, (s) Kelly Spray Boardman Vote for Wallace May 19 To the Editor: I am writing this letter in sup port of Jeff Wallace, who is a candidate for district court judge, position 2 . 1 have known Jeff for over 25 years. I have watched his progress and development from his first FFA public speaking contest to his current position as district attorney for Morrow County. His qualifications make him an ideal candidate for this position. Jeff is a life long resident of Umatilla/Morrow counties, the area he wishes to serve. He knows and understands the peo ple of Eastern Oregon. He has both the education and experience necessary for this job. He is an honors graduate from the University of Oregon and a law degree from Willamette Univer sity, College of Law. His suc cessful practice of law span both the private and public sectors. He has worked with cities and understands municipal law. He also serves his state and country in the Oregon National Guard as a captain in the Judge Advocate Generals Corps. I am impressed by the way Jeff deals with people. This stems from the fact that he is conscien tious and ethical about everything he does. As a school ad ministrator I have always ap- precited his handling of cases in volving children and sensitive issues. His effort was not only to see justice done but also to pro tect the innocent in the process. Jeff is a devoted community leader. A quick look at the com munity service he undertakes, from scouting to drug prevention workshops, from advisory com mittees to the Oregon National Guard, he gives of himself. Fellow voters we have the op portunity to elect the best qualified candidate for this posi tion. The facts tell us that person is Jeff Wallace. (s) Dan Daltoso Boardman Murgo fair, thorough To the Editor: I urge you to support Rudy Murgo for district court judge for Morrow and Umatilla Counties, department 1. As a former Pendleton city council member, I feel I can speak to the fairness and thoroughness of his work as a legal counsel. He also demonstrates superior skills in in terpersonal relations. Rudy Murgo listens and does not lose his composure when deliberating a topic with dissenting views. Rudy Murgon also takes an in terest in his community having served on youth and law related committees and boards. One such committee is the Blue Mountain Community College Criminal Justice Advisory Board. Rudy Murgo would serve us well as a district court judge for Morrow and Umatilla counties department No. 1. (s) Mary Bates Pendleton Glenn has vision for county To the Editor: I am writing in support of Ed Glenn for county commissioner. I have visited with Ed enough to know that he has a vision of what Morrow County and this area can become in the years ahead. I also believe him to be a person who will listen to all sides of an issue. be willing to make difficult deci sions and stand by them. Final ly, Ed Glenn does not fit the stereotypical profile of a politi cian. I think that’s good. Best of luck Ed. Sincerely, (s) Sharon Barrick Boardman Glenn has forsight, integrity To the Editor: Ed Glenn and I haven’t always agreed at all times on every issue (i.e., the prison), but I am im pressed with his foresight, in telligence and integrity. He's outspoken, and a genuine ly sincere man with a great sense of duty and a great sense of humor.. .all qualities it takes to be in politics now days. I’ll be casting my vote for Ed Glenn for county commissioner on May 19. (s) Dee Gantenbein Boardman Court Street Market X 111 N Tnurt U ennner 676-9643 ----- J - ! !

(s) Dorothy Lewis Pendleton To the Editor: I am writing to inform people of the Oregon Trail Libary District. If the present situation is allowed to remain,the libraries of both Board man and Heppner are threatened with closure. These libraries are now funded by city governments that are serious ly strained for many reasons.

I use the library for various Research and other pro jects I do in school. Since I live out of tfwn, I must pay a fee to renew my card through the library.
