EIGHT - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, October 28, 1992 Letters to the Editor Pet poisoners warped To the Editor: This letter is to the people in Heppner vs ho are poisoning our pets and also a warning to our other neighbors who love and spoil their pets the way that we do. On the morning of Oct. 19, I found a hamburger patty con- vered with strychnine in my back yard. One of our cats had carried it home from a close neighbors house. Luckily our cats didn’t eat any of it but unfortunately Rose Marie Buschke’s cat wasn’t as lucky and also two other cats were very sick from other patties like the one I found. What scares me the most besides losing one of our spoiled pets is the fact that my three year old nephew was playing in our back yard just hours before 1 found the hamburger patty. What if he had taken a bite out of that patty? He would have pro bably died from it. I would like to know just what you sick people are thinking about? Have you no conscience as to the results of your sick revenge? Our pets are just like our kids and it would just break our hearts and our children’s hearts if we ever lost one of them. Please, everyone help us stop these people that are poisoning our pets. We know who you pet killers are and I encourage a rebuttal to my letter as to what is going through your warped minds. (s) Terry W. Lightle (s) Cheryl C. Lightle (s) Rose Marie Buschke Don’t step backward To the Editor: To all my friends in Morrow County. 1 feel that Louie will best repre sent Morrow County from north to south and east to west. Let’s not take a step backwards from where we were six years ago. Vote Carlson Morrow County Judge. (s) Daniel Creamer Irrigon Cooley deals with the issues To the Editor: Wes Cooley is running against Wayne Fawbush for state senator in district (SD28). Jobs and economic activity in this rural area are heavily dependent on the profits generated from resource- based industry. The intrusion of government, which results in higher taxes and more regulation, is a cost to business, that results in reduced profits and reduced jobs. The concept that government can do everything best has resulted in more and more cost to comply with regulations Wayne Fawbush is one of the legislators who feels that state government, rather than free enterprise, must set the parameters, and has resulted in his sponsoring legislative bills that regulate and impose fines, penalties and fees. I feel there is a vast difference in the way Wes Cooley would deal with these issues as compared to Wayne Fawbush. Your vote for Wes Cooley will slow govern ment intrusion into your life and help support and increase resource based industry. Sincerely, (s) Don Peterson McElligott will serve entire county M aM aa a i i i i i i i n m i i i H i n i n t u t t m i M M t i m K i m i t K i i n g m m r To the Editor: On November 3 we will be voting for our next county com missioner. This will be one of our most important local races. We want what is best for Mor row County and we feel Don McElligott has more than the necessary qualifications to be the best choice for county commissioner. As county judge he worked with all the citizens of Morrow County in a fair and professional manner. Don and Eunice have a daughter Maureen, who is a teacher in Boardman. They also winter their cattle over there so you will see Don in the restaurants and stores throughout the winter, always willing to listen to your concerns. Don McElligott is a hard work ing, intelligent man, devoted to family and committed to serving all the citizens of Morrow Coun ty. His background and ex perience clearly make him the top choice for the job. We want a competent person in office that will use our tax dollars wisely. Lets elect Don our next coun ty commissioner. (s) Randy and Bernice Lott Carlson has given valuable leadership Measure 9 for a healthy future To the Editor: This we know. After observing and working closely with Judge Louie Carlson for the past six years this we know. 1. Judge Carlson has worked closely with a committed county road advisory committee made up of members representing all areas of our county. This committee has developed long range plans for all of the county roads and up dates this plan every year. 2. Judge Carlson has helped develop a close working relation ship between the county court and the mayors and city managers of the towns in our county. 3. Judge Carlson and the coun ty court are developing a policy (with input from the city councils and the city managers) with To the Editor: Our daily lives are governed by the myriad daily choices we make. What we are today and often the circumstances we find ourselves in are the result of past choice. Oregon stands at a crucial point in her history as a front runner state and the moral standard this state has 50 years from now will be determined as individuals make their choices known Nov. 3 on measure 9. Will she be a place where families are safe or will she be a Sodom where veritable angels will be assaulted. Much Bible has been quoted and examples given both for and against this measure 9. The one that stands out to me is found in Joshua 24:15 where the nation of Israel was asked to make a choice as to their allegiance and atten dant lifestyle. Joshua added in substance “ you have the choice, you can vote for your preference regard to the Finley Butte Land fill income. This income is shared with the cities and county. 4. Judge Carlson has continued to work hard to keep good com munications and respect between the people and governments of the Morrow County 1-84 corridor and the Willow Creek valley residents. 5. Judge Carlson has been a highly visible and accessible judge, always willing to give ex tra time and energy to the task at hand. For these reasons we are voting for Judge Louie Carlson, who has given us six years of proven, valuable leadership. Sincerely, (s) Bob and Suzanne Jepsen Sorry to see Breitlings go To the Editor: As everyone probably knows by now, Sherri and Arnie Breit- ting are no longer managing the Northwestern Motel. They left, giving us a 30-day notice and we were very fortunate in locating and hiring a very nice family to fill the position. Robert and Josephine Hall and their 17 year- old daughter. Monaca, are now doing an excellent job. We are extremely pleased with them as managers as well as their being fine folks. We were also happy with the Bruttlings and their work and were sorry to see them go, the reason being that we could not give them the 50 percent salary raise they wanted. We were dismayed that they vacated the position before the agreed time and dumped the responsibility on the Halls before we could train them. We also learned to our chagrin that the Briettings were casting dispersions in regard to our business practices. This really bothers us because we found them to be honest people. They must have become embittered when we didn’t grant their pay raise. We were sorry to see them go and wish them luck. We should have done so in person but they left in a hurry and left no address or phone numbers. We hope this letter will clear up any doubts and misinformation some of you may have heard. (s) Thomas LaRusso (s) Delores M. Cooper Bush deserving of your vote To the Editor: The presidential debates are now over, and the analysis of the debates is a far cry from what really went on. It’s fair to assume that candidates are going to say whatever they think will help them get elected. Change is the key word, and to need change, the current govern ment is criticized as doing a poor job. Since news tends to be negative, the American people are easily convinced that the cur- McElligott knows what it takes To the Editor: Since Don McElligott has been judge of Morrow County he cer tainly knows what a commis sioner’s role is. He has already made many contacts necessary for the role. He’s honest and sincere and would be a good leader. ... (s) Shirley Rugg Spicer offers legal background To the Editor: We are supporting Ann Spicer as Morrow County Judge. Ann is a person who works hard, is a leader and is committed to fairness. Ann Spicer is a listener first, and after hearing all of the facts, she is a doer. We need a person in our coun ty judge position who has a work ing knowledge of the law, a per son who is equitable in all deal ings Ann is this person since she has been a practicing lawyer since 1977. Ann Spicer has a background in education. She has previously taught mentally retarded children. She will be fair in her dealings with juvenile court cases. Ann Spicer worked as the District Attorney in Morrow rent government is bad too. I believe the Bush administra tion is doing a good job. When you accept that possibility, the debates take on an entirely dif ferent perspective, and the doom and gloom that Clinton and Perot express becomes meaningless. Hence the winner, and deserving of your vote, is President George Bush. Sincerely, To the Editor: I work in the forest products in (s) Don Peterson dustry, and if Senator Bob Packwood is my friend, 1 don’t need enemies. I am outraged that, because of in many other community ser Senator Packwood, Oregon logs vices and activities. He will pro are being exported instead of pro vide the kind of innovative think viding jobs here so I can support ing and experienced leadership my family and community. These we need. logs are enabling workers in other Please join me in voting for countries to do what I will not be Steve Uffelman on November 3, able to do. Sincerely, I ’m a constituent of (s) Norma French Packwood’s and he’s supposed to County from 1980 to 1982. Prior to that position, she was the city attorney for the city of Umatilla and worked with all city or dinances. Ann will be fair in her dealings with cities. Ann has been the chairperson for the Heppner Economic Development Committee for three years. Ann was also the chairperson for Heppner Vision 2000, which resulted in grants for economic development purposes. Ann has a strong business sense, as well as a stake in the future of this county. We feel that Ann Spicer is the best choice for the position of Morrow County Judge. Sincerely, (s) Frank & Cara Osmin Packwood not workers’ friend UfFelman an experienced leader To the Editor: I urge voters of District 59 to support Steve Uffelman as our State Representative in Salem. My husband. Raymond, and I highly respect Steve as a kind, honest, and intelligent individual. Steve is an experienced leader, serving presently as mayor of Prineville and has been involved but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." I cannot make the choice for you, nor you for me but our collective choice will determine our state and our nation’s choice to invite or divert certain judgment to the nation that forgets God and his standard which is the only true measure. Measure 9 has little to do with discrimination or hatred but rather is giving Oregon a chance to stand up for God’s standard and acknowledge the perverseness and unnatural aspects of homosexuality. God as a loving heavenly Father says, “ He is not willing that any should perish but that all would come to repentance.” Measure 9 will not settle the sin question, only Jesus can do that but it will help Oregon shoot for a healthy future. Vote yes on Measure 9. (s) Chester A. Wilson Irrigon represent me. Since he’s more in terested in representing Japanese or Korean mill workers, I suggest he go to them for votes. No way does he deserve mine. I know there are many difficult problems facing us today. However, when a part of the legislative solution was blocked by Senator Packwood, I knew he was no friend of workers. Sincerely, (s) Richard L.
