Send Smith back to Salem To the Editor: We need to send Representative Greg Smith back to Salem to continue the fight for rural Oregon. G reg’s opponent is a vocal advocate for higher taxes, bigger government, the delaying of Ballot Measure 88 and raising the vehicle registration fee. We all know that wasteful government programs need to be cut before we give more of our money to the State of Oregon. (s) Bob and Suzanne Jepsen Heppner A friend in Representative Greg Smith Greg never gave up on our cause. Communication between the citizens of lone and his office were always open, honest, sincere and hard working. With one legislative session under his belt, I can’t wait to see what he has in store for another term in office. With all the chaos that term limits bring to the legislative body, it’s great to know that our State Representative was able to get so much accomplished. He served Eastern Oregon admirably, and I’m looking forward to that same loyalty for the 2003 Legislative Session. (s) Marv Padberg lone To the Editor: During the 2001 session, citizens of lone had a friend in Representative Greg Smith. During the countless times that we went to Salem to advocate for the Ione-Boardman Road, Greg was instrumental in lining up legislators from both sides of the aisle to hear our testimony. Now for anyone that has ever been to Salem, that is no small task, especially for a freshman legislator. It was obvious to us that his colleagues had a great deal o f respect for him. We always had captive audiences in his presence. In summary, he was getting things done. Marie Key wins treasure chest Marie Key with treasure chest Marie Key of lone was the winner of the Lexington Fire Fund treasure chest raffle. The Lexington Fire Fund, a general fund to help the Lexington Fire Department, sold tickets for the chest as a fund raiser.

The chest, made by Jake Haines o f Lexington, raised approximately $ 120 in ticket sales. MC Fair 2002 Colts rally to beat results for sheep Stanfield 22-6 and pigs By Rick Paullus Trailing 6-0 after one, the Heppner Colts came back to tie it at halftime and went on to beat the visiting Stanfield Tigers, 22-6, on Wednesday, Oct. 2, to run their record to 3 and 0 on the year. The Colts will play U m atilla on Wednesday, Oct. 9, at 6 p.m. in Heppner. The Tigers scored in the first quarter on a 43-yard run to take a 6-0 lead after the kick was no good.

Dalton Wellman picked up 30 yards, Brent Eckman, seven yards, and Palmer went another seven yards to the one where Wacy Coil took it into the end zone. The kick was no good and the half ended with the score 6-6. The Colts’ defense held, forcing Stanfield to punt on their first possession of the second half and the offense went right to work. Palmer broke free for 30 yards, Wellman, five, and Palmer took in from 14 yards out. Matt Holland kicked the extra point to give the Colts a 14-6 lead with 2:38 left in the third. After another Stanfield punt, the Colts went back to work with Palmer gaining 35 yards, Coil picking up eight and then a personal foul penalty took the ball inside the 20-yard line. Wellman ran twice for six yards. Palmer for three and Coil took it down to the two but a fumble on the next play gave Stanfield back the ball.
