Letters to the Editor
Support Peter Fels
To the Editor:
1 am writing this letter to urge
you to support Judge Peter Fels
for election to district court for
Umatilla and Morrow counties.
As an attorney, 1 am well ac
quainted with the qualities that are
important in a competent judge.
Judge Fels is the candidate who
best exemplifies those qualities.
Judge Fels was appointed to the
position in January, 1992, and
since then has done an outstan
ding job. He has demonstrated
that he has the intelligence,
temperament and integrity to
understand and apply the law fair
ly and correctly.
The people of Umatilla and
Morrow counties are fortunate to
have Judge Fels serving as their
judge. Please join me in voting to
keep Judge Fels.

Wallace the choice on Nov. 3
To the Editor:
In this November’s election,
there is one candidate for district
court judge who has the well-
rounded experience we need. I'm
talking about Jeff Wallace, who
is our Morrow County DA.
I have known Jeff for the past
six years. He has served as Mor
row County prosecutor and has
also been in private practice. As
district attorney, he represents the
people of the state of Oregon. As
a private attorney with his own
law practice, he represented
clients in divorces, contracts and
other legal matters. He is the on
ly candidate who has done pro
secution or private practice.
In dealing with private clients
or crime victims, Jeff has been
fair and professional. He knows
this area because he has lived
most of his life in Eastern
Oregon.
Jeff Wallace has also been in
volved in the community. He
helped organize and serves as
Cubmaster of the Heppner Cub
Scout Pack. He is a captain in the
Oregon Naional Guard. He has
also given many hours of accor
dion and piano music at com
munity functions.
Jeff Wallace is my choice for
district court judge. Please vote
for him on November 3.

Re-elect Peter Fels
Ban triple trailers
To the Editor:
Ballot measure 4 is finally
Oregonian’s opportunity to get
rid of those terrible triple trailer
trucks.
The only reason triples have
such a good safety record is
because they have stricter
guidelines to operate than other
trucks. Get rid of the triples and
put stricter guidelines on all the
other trucks.
When driving at 55, trucks
pass. On the freeway at 60, trucks
pass. Hardly ever see any trucks
pulled over by the State Police.
(The signs say: “ Trucks 55
mph.” )
“ Trucks are safe.” Sure, for
the truck drivers, because in ac
cidents, it is the automobile driver
that is usually killed, not the truck
driver.
Triples are dangerous to pass,
or to be passed by, because they
weave, their trailer units do not
follow-track-each other in a
straight line.
Triples are a hazard in the
cities. Somebody told me of one
incident which happened at
Eugene’s West 11th Fred
Meyers. The third trailer of a tri
ple couldn’t make the comer, and
so the trucker had to unhook it,
leaving it to block traffic while he
took the other two units
someplace else to unhook. Then
he came back and hooked up the
third trailer and finally got it out
of the traffic.
The “ Thousands of trucks
waiting at the border” are triple
trailer trucks. The other trucks
don’t seem to have any trouble
crossing.
Vote yes on Ballot 4, ban trip-
pies. Trains belong on the tracks
Sincerely,

Retain North county representation
To the Editor:
In a county such as Morrow
with markedly diverse economies
with differing needs within its
boundaries, it is vital that all
regions be represented on gover
ning bodies. Recognition of these
varying needs now will protect us
from chaos in the future.
I have worked with Ed Glenn
for five years on three rounds of
Regional Strategy programs. I
have found working with him that
he is fair and knowledgeable.
Please continue the 40 year
tradition of having a north end
representative on the county
court, thereby ensuring essential
cooperation, good will, and
prosperity.

Let’s elect Wallace as our next judge
To the Editor:
Jeff Wallce has my unqualified
support for district court judge
(Hermiston District Court) in this
fall’s general election. His
background and experience clear
ly make him the top choice for the
job.
As a DA in a county with it s
share of drug problems. Jeff
Wallace has worked hard to crack
down on methamphetamine and
other illegal drug labs. He’s been
a member of the Eastern Oregon
Drug Task Force. Jeff is a pro
secutor who has been going after
drug dealers.
We need someone with Jeff
Wallace’s prosecution experience
on the bench. Let’s elect him as
our next district judge.

To the Editor:
We are writing in support of
the re-election of Judge Peter Fels
as District Court Judge tor
department 2 in the upcoming
election.
We have between the two of
us, approximately 15 years of
combined experience working
under the leadership of Judge Fels
as director of the Pendleton
regional office of Oregon Legal
Services Corporation. We believe
that gives us the insight and
knowledge of Judge Fels’ abilities
necessary to tell others how we
feel about his qualifications for
district court judge.
Judge Fels, during his employ
ment as director of OLS, was
honest, fair and courteous to
clients, fellow employees and
everyone else he came in contact
with through his work. He was
always there to help other
employees during the rough times
as well as being there to enjoy
with us the good times. Judge
Fels was a meticulous worker and
pushed himself as hard as was
necessry to stay on top of things,
especially during difficult times.
He was very serious about his
work, yet he was able to mix with
that a keen sense of humor.
Fels has integrity
To the Editor:
We are writing this letter in
support of Judge Peter Fels for
the position of Umatilla-Morrow
County District Court Judge. We
have known Peter Fels for a
number of years and have been
impressed with his integrity and
his leadership skills.
Recently Judge Fels has in
stituted an educational referral
process for defendants who ap
pear in his court who have limited
basic skills. He is requiring them
to attend adult education classes
to improve their reading, writing
and math skills as part of their
probation. His referral process in
cludes follow up concerning the
attendance and reasonable pro
gress of these defendants. This is
an innovative and responsible
practice and an example of his
balanced approach to the judicial
system.
Peter Fels is doing an outstan
ding job as district court judge for
Morrow and Umatilla counties.
Please vote for him on November
3.
Sincerely, ,

Elect Michael Payne
To the Editor:
The race for state represen
tative in District 59 is one of the
most important legislative con
tests in the state, and it is impor
tant that we elect Michael Payne
to keep the balance of power in
favor of small town rural Oregon.
As someone who comes from
a farming family. Michael Payne
would help balance the votes that
are increasingly concentrated
around the big cities like
Portland. Salem, Eugene and
Bend. Senator Brockman,
Representatives Pickard and
Clarno, and Legislative hopefuls
like Marge Garrow and Dennis
Luke are concentrated in the
Bend area.
As director of OLS. Judge Fels
was responsible for settling any
conflicts which arose in the of
fice. He had the uncanny ability
to look at every situation from a
completely objective point of
view and to consider each per
son’s feelings and way of think
ing in determining how to ap
proach a problem. He was, with
out fail, always able to come up
with a fair solution agreeable to
all parties.
We believe that the qualities
described above more than
qualify Peter Fels for the position
of district court judge. We belive
that he has been able to
demonstrate these skills and
abilities since his appointment in
January. His ability to speak and
write Spanish fluently, a
qualification desperately needed
and rarely found in his position,
add to a long list of excellent
qualities we feel are irreplaceable
in Judge Fels’ current position.
We urge you to vote to re-elect
Judge Peter Fels as district court
judge, department 2, at the
November 3 election.
Sincerely,
(s) Heather Jo Frazell

Our Representative Mike
Nelson has done an outstanding
job of representing rural con
cerns. And Michael Payne,
Nelson's past legislative assistant,
could continue that tradition. If
Mr. Uffleman, who lives only 35
miles from Bend, were elected,
the power base would continue to
concentrate around the urban
centers.
Let’s back our favorite son.
send Michael Payne to Salem,
and give rural Oregonians
another voice in the statehouse.

Fels better qualified
To the Editor:
I am a lawyer who has practic
ed in Umatilla County for over 15
years.
I have known Judge Peter Fels
for over 10 years. I went to law
school with his opponent and
have know him professionally
since 1976.
As an attorney, I advise peo
ple every day about important
decisions affecting their lives. I
must know the law and advise my
clients.
I depend on the judge to know
the law and to apply it equally to
all people.
I have appeared before Judge
Fels in the first month he took of
fice. I continue to appear before
him regularly. Judge Fels knows
the law and he is fair.
He is better qualified than his
opponent.
Please vote for Judge Peter
Fels.
