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

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.

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.

Smith concerned about Columbia River
To the Editor:
Denny Smith has been very
concerned about the increase of
interest by California and other
states to take water from the Col
umbia River. 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.

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.

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.

The Heppner Booster Club is proud to announce an Inspirational Player of the Week
Award. This award features a boy and girl athlete at Heppner High School who has
demonstrated a positive attitude, desire, dedication and extra effort. Players are selected
by the coaches from the prior weeks game(s) and practices. The ad is sponsored by
different businesses each week.
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.

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.
