■ »* FOUR - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, May 11, 1994 Sheriff’s Dept needs stability The Official Newspaper o f the City of Heppner and the County o f Morrow To the Editor: As your sheriff I am writing this letter to ask that you support with your yes vote the county tax base May 17, 1994. The tax base is exactly the same anount that you approved as a one-year operating levy in March and if passed would automatically be substituted for the one year levy. This tax base would give the sheriffs department some much needed stability in funding for law enforcement as well as all county supported services. Every year programs such as DARE are threatened because of the inablili- ty of this office to plan ahead without a guaranteed minimal source of funding. Every year your deputies face the threat of being laid off if a one year levy doesn’t pass. They and their families have made a commit Heppner GAZETTE-TIMES U S.P S. 240-420 Morrow C ounty's Home-Owned Weekly Newspaper I’ublisht-d » t f kl> and entered as second-clavx nutter at the Post Office at Hepp ner.

Distribution David and April Hilton-Sykes, Publisher Letters to the Editor Berkman has leadership skills To the Editor: We are supporting Craig Berkman as the Republican can didate for Oregon’s governor. Craig wants to cut waste and find better ways to deliver essential services with existing money. This means no new taxes. Here are a few other ideas: take back our streets from criminals and teenage thugs; make education funding a top priority in the state’s budget; fight for small businesses, tim ber and agriculture; balance the state budget by expanding our economy and creating family wage jobs. We know Craig personally. He was our Oregon Republican par ty chairman for several years. We know he has the leadership skills you and I want in a governor. Please vote for Craig Berkman on Tuesday, May 17. (s) Bob and Suzanne Jepsen DeZell believes in parental control To the Editor: One of the greatest threats from the Clinton administration and the Democrats in Congress is the Education 2000 legislation. The legislation would under mine parents’ efforts to provide the best education for their children. It would relegate 70 percent of our children to being minimally educated drones, a pliant global work force consign ed to advancing the “ New World Order” . We need a fighter in congress who has been a teacher (Sacred Heart Spanish teacher) to fight this nefarious legislation. John DeZell, a Medford lawyer and republican candidate for con gress, staunchly believes in parental involvement and local, rather than federal, control of our children. Send him to Washington to fight for us. (s) Susan Selman 730 S. 4th Central Pt. Bedding Plants Flowers Vegetables Herbs OJ Greenhouse Coniine’s Greenhouse Fuller Canyon Road 8-6, Mon.-Sat.

With the increase of representatives in congress from those states we should all be alarmed with their ability to out vote the northwestern states. Should they prevail in this move, it makes sense to me that they on ly be allowed to get that water at a cost from the mouth of the Col umbia, not from eastern Oregon or Washington. It is important we have leaders that recognize a potential problem before it becomes a reality and make plans how to protect our state’s needs. He is a strong advocate for the timber and agriculture com munities. He opposes excessive state land use restrictions. Please vote on May 17 and sup port Denny Smith for governor. (s) Alice Propes 225 S.E. Walnut Ave. Dallas 97338 Berkman best candidate To the Editor: There is a full slate of can didates for Bob Smith’s seat in congress. Wes Cooley has represented us as Oregon state senator from this area. His understanding of basic economics helped him to make good decisions for us as our state senator. I believe he has earned our vote as a candidate for representative in Congress in the 2nd District. (s) Don Peterson Berkman for governor To the Editor: I urge you to vote for Craig Berkm an for governor of Oregon. His background in dicates an innovative approach to problem solving. He has prepared several economic statements deal ing with current concerns. His To the Editor: I don’t know what some of you are seeking in the new congres sional candidate we will select in the Republican primary on May 17. John DeZell stands out as the best candidate, a lawyer, farmer, veteran and devoted family man, he would best represent us in Washington. He is also the only candidate who actually worked in the Capitol in Washington, D.C. while attending law school. He is pledged to help restore family values, cut welfare costs, require tougher treatment of criminals while assuring victim compensation, helping to bring new jobs to the district while pledging to introduce legislation seeking true tax reform. DeZell appears to have a broader background and educa tion than any republican can didate. Please vote for him. (s) T.

During our big anniversary Frank Cecil of Spray has been named the grand marshal of the Spray Rodeo May 28 and 29. Cecil was bom in 1927 at Mt. Vernon to Ralph and Ruby Cecil who were living in Dayville. The family moved to Spray when he was one. Frank remained in Spray and attended school there. Shortly after he graduated he married Melba Caldera at the age of 17. They lived in Oregon City for six months, but realized Spray was home so they moved back and have resided there since. Cecil worked in the woods for Earl Clark for three years. Clark sold to Tommy Ross and Cecil continued to work for him for two more years. He worked at the Prairie Ranch one year before go ing back to work in the woods for Midstate another two years and then for Kinzua for 12Vi years. The remainder of his working career was spent ranching. In 1962 he purchased the fami ly ranch from his parents. This was home until 1991 when they purchased their present home close to the rodeo grounds that had belonged to the late Art and lone Legion plans fun night endorsements come from active O regon participants in the legislative process. I believe he would make the best race and debate against the Democratic candidate. Sincerely, (s) Don Peterson DeZell best candidate «S ■t » ' ment to live in and protect the county and are now asking for your support. Yes, the county tax base can be increased by up to six percent each year without a vote of the people. However, your commis sioners and budget committee have gotten the message loud and clear that you will not stand for unlimited spending. This is evi dent in the continued reduction of the county operating levy the last few years. The county is grow ing and it’s time that we abandon a turn of the century tax base that wouldn’t run county services for more than two or three months at the most. Please support those who are here to protect and serve you with your yes vote on the county tax base. Thank you.
