Letters to the Editor
Turn them in
To the Editor:
The city council of Heppner
has recently enacted a new or
dinance that should provide ad
ditional protection to those of us
who have been victimized by the
owners of vicious dogs. The new
ordinance requires the owners of
dangerous dogs to apply for a
S 100 per year license to keep the
dog inside the city limits and to
properly restrain the animal at all
times.
While a casual reading of the
ordinance makes it appear to be
directed to owners of pit bulls and
their variations, a careful reading
shows that it is directed to any
dog that “ ...because of its size,
vicious nature or other
characteristics, would constitute
a danger to human life or proper
ty ...” . It goes on to state that it
includes, but is not limited to, the
various pit bull breeds and cross
breeds. This is an ordinance that
can be used to protect us from any
dog that is a danger to people.
The only catch to the enforcement
of this law is that the proper
authorities must be made aware
of who keeps such animals,
whether they are pit bulls or not.
It is crucial for the safety of the
children of our city that we no
longer turn our backs on the ir
responsible ow ners of dangerous
dogs. Please do not hesitate to file
a complaint if a dog of any breed
threatens you or your family
members just because the owner
is a neighbor or well-known per
sona of Heppner. A truly good
neighbor would not endanger you
or your family by allowing their
animal to harass or attack you.
Do not make the same mistake I
did. I failed to take the proper
steps last November when my
daughter was attacked by a
neighbor’s dog while riding her
bicycle. Because of that, another
boy was attacked this spring by
the same animal, an attack that
might have been prevented if I
had possessed the courage and
good sense to file a complaint at
that time.
Do not give these negligent
people a second chance to en
danger anyone. These irrespon
sible dog owners that allow their
animals to run loose do not
deserve our consideration. Turn
them in.
Signed,
(s) Robert Sagely
Chamber supports equipment bond
To the Editor:
Heppner Chamber of Com
merce supports Measure 25-3,
the fire and police equipment
bond. Eighty-two percent of the
proposed bond monies will go
toward fire department facilities
and equipment. Heppner has ex
perienced many serious fires over
the years and it is essential that
we have updated equipment in
good working order. Measure 5
forced elimination of funding for
that purpose; therefore it is im
perative that the Bond Measure
25-3 be passed to keep Heppner
safe. We urge you to vote yes for
your protection.
Sincerely,
(s) LoRayne Bowman,
President
Heppner Chamber of Commerce
and Board of Directors

Judge race positive
To the Editor:
A recent article in one of the
state’s other major newspapers
discussed the apparent fact that
negative campaigning has come
to Oregon. In our local race for
District Court Judge, Department
2, despite the large number of
candidates and the intensity of the
campaign, the campaign remain
ed positive.
I want to publicly thank all the
other candidates in my race for
focusing on what is important-
the issues. Voters injudicial races
frequently don’t feel they have
enough information; as a result,
they don’t even vote. By sticking
to the issues, we not only stuck
to the clean politics that Oregon
is justifiably proud of, but, I
hope, we educate some of the
voters.
I also have many friends and
supporters to thank for their
dedication and hard work.
Because I feel compelled as a
public official to be available in
court when needed, I could not
manage to personally contact
every voter in Umatilla and Mor
row counties during the evenings
and weekends I had free to cam
paign. Although I met many peo
ple and enjoyed that aspect of
campaigning the most, without
the help of all the people who
volunteered, it would not have
been possible to come in first in
a field of five.
In the months to come until
November, I hope I get the
chance to meet all of the voters
whom I missed. I also know that
people will have a better chance
to see the kind of work I am do
ing in district court. I am gradual
ly making changes, and I hope
that these, plus the work I have
been doing already, will continue
to restore credibility to the courts
and legal system. Although I am
not a lawmaker and I cannot talk
to people about individual cases,
I will continue to have an open
door. I welcome the opportunity
to discuss with any interested
people their ideas for change or
concerns about how the courts or
legal system are working.
Again, many thanks to the
other candidates, my family,
friends and suporters. Most of all,
thanks to the voters who showed
their interest in the cause of
justice and efficiency in the court
and their confidence in me as
district court judge.

Teenage drinking serious problem
To the Editor:
It is time that we the citizens
of South Morrow County took
seriously the word of Mike Reed,
assistant administrator of the
Oregon Liquor Commission:
“ Teenage drinking is a very
serious problem.” Dana Ander
son, a liquor commissioner,
pointed out to the Oregon press
this winter: “ There was a 34 per
cent increase in the number of
citations for minors in possession
of alcohol from 1986 to 1990 in
Oregon. Alcohol-related highway
accidents are the number one
killer of young people.”
Beginning July 1, 1992. the
Oregon Liquor Commission is re
quiring all bartenders, servers,
and sales clerks to check the iden
tification of customers who ap
pear to be under the age of 26
years. The liquor licensee will not
receive a ticket unless the failure
to check identification results in
a sale of alcohol to a person under
21. The Liquor Commission has

Sheriff’s Report
been working hard to make sure
licensees and their employees
know about the rule change. The
Liquor Commission and the local
Oregon Together people hope
that this will help drastically
reduce the amount of alcohol sold
to persons under 21.
But more importantly it will
help if we who are adults who are
asked to buy or want to buy
alcohol for the young would stop
and think about the consequences
and spend time and money with
youth in more creative and educa
tional ways than on alcohol and
drugs.
Let’s use our money and time
with our youth wisely so as to
have a more pleasant and fruitful
summer and more enlightened
upcoming generation.
