SIX- Heppner G azette-Tim es, Heppner, Oregon W ednesday, M ay 13, 1992 Recommends Wallace Letters to the Editor Mexican hats off To the editor: Our Mexican hats are off to the city of Boardman for a great sum mer celebration of “ Cinco De Mayo” last Sunday. We couldn’t count the numbers but the success of the day was ap parent with a park full of local Mexican and Anglo residents en joying themselves with dance, food and games. This celebration is a credit to the leadership in Boardman in the names of Mayor Bill Brown and his wife Myrtle, and La Fuerza Hispana. These key leaders plus the multitudes of help, both Mexican and Anglo proves that a community can benefit by cultural exchange of music, food, dance and other social attributes. It appears to us that this will be a growing event in Boardman and one that will be of greater value as the need for cultural understan ding becomes more and more im portant in Morrow County. Maybe, just maybe, if other cities such as Los Angeles, Portland and the like were to take note of the qualities of different ethnic backgrounds, human be ings would be more tolerant of one another. (s) Judge Louis and Betty Carlson Heppner To the Editor: it is a pleasure to recommend Jeff Wallace for your vote for district court judge. Seldom does a candidate have the range of ex perience and knowledge of the area as does Jeff Wallace. With a farm background, an excellent legal education, an outstanding military experience and as an at torney with a w orking background in both private prac tice and in the district attorney of fice he has the tools to do a great job as district judge. As district attorney in Morrow County for the past five years he has aggressively fought the multi ple problems caused by drugs. Jeff Wallace has my unqualified support for district judge. Sincerely, (s) Stafford Hansell Boardman tie paper’) to quietly run the county without the peoples’ input. As a pillar of our community, Mr Glenn is someone who recognizes a problem, lays a plan to solve it, and puts that plan in motion. He has done much to help our community in the 14 years since I’ve been in Board- man. In fact, he served on the first regional strategies in Oregon. After following various cam paigns, there is definitely one of fice with a choice you can be hap py with. Mr. Ed Glenn for Mor row County Commissioner. (s) Kelly Spray Boardman Without district libraries close To the Editor: This letter is to urge you to vote yes for the formation of the Oregon Trail Library District. If the cities of Heppner and Board- man want library services this district is a must. Without the library district, these libraries will close. With the library district, they will be able to stay open for longer hours, have more book selection and expand program. The state library has commit ted $150,000 to the district, if formed, to meet these goals The nee for libraries has caused citizens of Boardman and Hepp ner to join hands and work together to develop a library plan meeting the needs of both com munities. If we want to maintain a high quality of life for ourselves and our children, if books and education are important, a yes vote for the Oregon Trail Library is a must. Sincerely, (s) William J. Kuhn Heppner Yes for library district To the Editor: My family and I are long time users of the Heppner Public Library. We have observed the reduction in book buying over the last year due to Measure 5 restric tions. The library in Heppner and in Boardman are both gearing up for summer reading programs which involve a substantial number of children. This will not happen with the current city -.V ■ W ' 4 .

One of the qualities 1 saw in George during our service in the Legislature was how hard he worked to serve his constituency. This diligence, combined with his problem solving ability, convince me that he would do a great job as State Treasurer. ” î ^ Re-Elect M ay 24 1:00 p.m. ij ' G overnor o f Oregon To the Editor: For many years in the legal profession there has been an un written “ rule” : a lawyer does not run against an incumbent judge. Many lawyers have feared that to do so would risk serious prejudice against them and their clients for years to come. Thus, any lawyer interested in becoming a judge would have to wait until a vacan cy occurred-through retirement for example. It takes a great degree of courage and principle to challenge this practice. Rudy Murgo is a lawyer who has demonstrated such principle and courage. Over the past three and one-half years I have worked with Mr. Murgo, I have found him consistently to be meticulous pro fessional and fair in his practice of the law. He has a very broad background of exprience in many different areas o f the law, both criminal and civil, as a former deputy district attorney, a former private attorney, and as a city attorney. But one of Mr. Murgo’s greatest assets is his ap preciation for the importance of a fair judicial process. If the pro cess is fair, the result will generally be fair. I do not hesitate to voice my support for the election of Rudy Murgo as district court judge. When a lawyer of Mr. Murgo’s qualifications and character becomes a candidate for judge, perhaps it is a good time to pass the baton on to a new generation.

V ic A tiyeh Murgo shows courage Supports Glenn To the Editor: This letter is in support of Ed Glenn for county commissioner. I have known Mr. Glenn for about 14 years and as a person he is a pleasure to be friends with. I think he’d bring a lot to the office of commissioner. (My father works for Union County and I have known a few of the commissioners there.) There is a lot of responsibility riding on that office and if anyone could take on that position it is Mr. Glenn. Too often a county official is elected and then fades into virtual obscurity. Mr. Glenn will not do so.
