‘‘My goal has been to run the
been a student advisor for the
Oregon Student Public Interest court in a fair and professional
Research group, a law clerk for manner,” commented Fels. ‘‘As
a law firm in Eugene and in judge, I understand the law and
private practice from Sept. ‘78 to apply it as it is written, not ac
cording to my own personal
Jan. ‘79.
Fels has been a member of the views. My policies have been to
Umatilla County Jail Monitoring make sure that everyone who
Committee, the Umatilla Coun comes to court has a fair chance
ty Juvenile and Youth Services and does not lose because of lack
ple don’t have to wait in court for
hours just to pay their fine. And
I have insisted that victims be
consulted and allowed to testify
at sentencing of criminals, which,
although required by law, was not
always done in the past.
‘‘My plans include to work
with all other courts to establish
consistency in fines, bail
schedules and sentences; to fight
to make sure that there are no
closures or reductions in the
Heppner or Hermiston courts;
and to utilize the court in Irrigon
where more convenient.
‘‘My record shows that I am
well qualified to carry out the
duties of judge. Besides having
been judge in district court, I have
over two years’ prior judicial ex
perience as a part time judge in
Umatilla Tribal Court, handling
of having a lawyer or money or
failure to understand the law.
‘‘I have made some changes
since becoming judge. I had
speaker phones installed in the
court in Hermiston so that at
torneys and litigants can have
telephone hearings recorded and
avoid the expenses of travel. This
includes people from Morrow
County who want restraining
orders, who previously had to
wait until the judge came to
Heppner on Friday or go to Her
miston. 1 have imposed stiffer
sentences for drunk drivers and
used electronic surveilance and
community service as sentencing
options, which were not pre
viously used. I have allowed first
time simple fish and game infrac
tions to be handled by the court
clerk, like traffic tickets, so peo
