SIXTEEN - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, May 13,1998 M orrow County Justice of the Peace Rod Osgood Rod Osgood, 40, a candidate for Morrow County Justice of the Peace, lives between Boardman and Imgon. He and his wife, Wendy, have two grown children, 20 and 21, and one grandchild. Osgood was raised in Umatilla County in the Hermiston area and moved to Morrow County nine years ago. Osgood is the owner of Osgood Feed and Supply which he started in 1992. Besides operating his tore, he runs cows, quarterhorses and running horses. Osgood says he hopes to "bring some sense to justice in Morrow County." "I don't thin my job is to raise funds for the county," he said. "My job is to make it a safer, more pleasant place for the citizens of Morrow County." Why did you decide to run for Morrow County Justice of the Peace? Morrow County’s crime rate where victims are in volved has increased dramatically over the past few years and this trend needs to change. I want to help make this change and keep our county a desirable place to live and raise our families. How are your qualified to undertake the duties of Justice of the Peace? I have common sense and good judgment, good public relations skills and very good listening and reasoning skills. I am willing to attend classes and seek out any training that will help me do my job bet ter. How will you accommodate the increased load o f cases handled by the Justice of the Peace, especially in the north end of the county? Between the time you elect me May 19 and January, when 1 will take office, I plan to attend the National Ju dicial College and one o f the classes 1 will be taking is Case Flow Management. However, our best approach is to reduce crime with common sense and creative punishment, which will effec tively reduce case flow.
