Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, November 1, 2000 - THREE Seniors matter to Smith __________Letters to the Editor__________ To the Editor: I like positive campaigns. I vote for positive candidates. I'm voting for Greg Smith for Oregon State Representative, District 59. I have known Greg Smith for many years. He has always, been an advocate for our community. We have been working closely on the Willow Creek Valley Assisted Living Facility. With Greg's assistance, we are moving forward on the financing of equipment and furniture for this much-needed facility. Senior matters are important to Greg Smith.

Cemetery destruction a shame we have worked side-by-side on tackling these critical issues. While the legislature alone cannot ensure that I see my personal physician of choice, I am astute enough to understand that the Oregon House of Representatives plays a crucial role in insurance. That insurance is called Medicaid and the Oregon Health Plan, and the next State Representative for District 59 will be making decisions on the vitality of those services. Vote Greg Smith. (s) Suzanne Jepsen Heppner Murrays’ scarecrow wins People’s Choice Award Vote for Greg Smith Although the W iglesworth stones were not damaged, prob ably because they are extra large, 1 would like to see if the other stones can be repaired or set back up again. I would be happy to do nate to this cause if it is possible. Maybe a scout troop or someone could spearhead such an under taking. Also it would be nice to have the name of the cemetery put up near the gate. I believe it was known as Pleasant Point. My father Walter Wiglesworth who is 90 years old and lives in Rose Harbor in Hermiston is a good source of information on this cem etery. (s) Dorothy Graham Sun City, AZ To the Editor: 1 took these pictures in Septem ber when we visited this cemetery on Little Buttercreek on the Tom Curnn Ranch. I have been gone for two or three years and couldn’t believe the destruction to the stones. I understand the county mows the cemetery, so don’t know when all these stones were pushed over. It would have taken great force on some as there were steel rods inside that were broken. Most of the stones are dated back in the 1800s and it is a shame to lose so much history. Our family always enjoyed reading the differ ent markers and imagining the his tory. Vote no on 5 To the Editor: I am writing this letter in support of Steve Myren who is running for Morrow Co. Sheriff. I feel we need a change in some of the policies in our Sheriffs department. Steve has some new ideas and has said he is in favor of a more aggressive approach to drug enforcement and other problems in our area. I believe instead of waiting for some "big fish" maybe we can get rid of some of the smaller ones. Steve wants to increase the amount of patrols in the county. By doing so, the department will HEPPNER ELKS 358 SU N D A Y 142 North Main | | MONDAY TUESDAY W EDNESDAY J F o r m o re In fo rm a tio n a b o u t a llatad e ve n t ca ll th e C h a m b e r at 6 7 6-5 5 3 6 o r ce ll 6 7 6 -5 8 8 6 .

It had to be taken to Hermiston to be fixed. We had the travel trailer towed into Heppner. We stayed in Heppner for two weeks waiting for the pickup to be repaired. We want the people of Heppner to know what a friendly town you have. We were treated wonderfully by everyone we met. Especially the owner and the managers of the Northwestern Motel and RV Park. They did everything they could to make our stay pleasant. Jim and Darla Wishart were so good to us. We would highly recommend the Motel and RV Park to anyone going to Heppner. It's nice to know that there are still small towns in our country BINGO BACK ON WEDNESDAYS STARTING AT 7:00 p .m .

Steve has been with the county for a good number of years and has shown enthusiasm towards his job working with the kids and trying to improve the quality of life in working with the community. He shows leadership ability and good judgment in his decisions. I believe he will make a good Sheriff. That is why I am voting for Steve Myren. (s) Barbara VanArsdale Heppner • • . . . « > ‘ ir r .f i November 2nd ~ Thursday 676-9181 believes as 1 do - let the citizens keep their hard earned dollars. This November. 1 will be voicing my opinion by saying no to increased taxes through a vote for Greg Smith. Greg understands that a prosperous economy doesn't occur through government control and more taxes, but by allowing our free enterprise system to work. Greg has convinced me that he will work hard to reduce the tax burdens on working citizens and small business owners, so that they can once again be profitable. If you feel as I do, the choice is simple - vote Greg Smith for Oregon State Representative, District 59. (s) Dale Stennett John Day Myren shows leadership ail the hype in papers and on TV that they are plugging a loophole. .What happens if some antv-gun bureaucrat happens to be running the instant check while a gun show is being held. They can shut it down and you couldn't buy or sell a gun. This is another ploy of the anti-gunners to take the guns away from law-abiding citizens. The criminals have two ways of getting guns. One is steal, the other is the black market. All hunters and gun owners be sure and vote and vote no on Measure 5. (s) Willard French lone To the Editor: Vote no on Measure 5-the so- called instant check on guns purchased at gun shows. It does nothing to keep guns out of criminals hands. The way the measure is written, if you buy a gun at a gun show both the gun and you are registered for five years in the state police files. , Several years ago California passed a law that all guns had to "be registered. Then in couple of years they listed a whole bunch of these guns as illegal and started confiscating them. That is what can happen here in Oregon if Measure 5 is passed in spite of l 5 « To the Editor: It seems like every two years, when the legislature conveys, you had better grab your wallet. Whether it's trying to raise the income tax, changing the way property is valued or the "little" fee increases we face, our hard earned money always seems to disappear. Take Measure 5 for instance; this is just another way to tax an item. I am an advocate for the Second Amendment, but putting the freedom issue aside, the government is yet again requiring registration with a fee. I also believe that the kicker tax should be returned to the taxpayers.
