HES students learn dangers of drugs and alcohol Brauer possesses integrity, experience and professionalism To the Editor: It disappoints me greatly to see that Christopher Brauer’s opponent in the circuit court judicial race has run advertisements that contain reckless allegations and untruths. I have known Chris Brauer for more than 30 years and I have tried numerous trials against him. Contrary to those ads, he does understand family values, have knowledge and experience in civil law, have commitment to judicial service and a sense of humor. I can't understand why she would criticize what is left of his hair. I am offended by the disregard for the truth and integrity that is expressed in that ad. Chris has always been an exemplary advocate for his clients in civil law, domestic relations and in criminal cases. He has tried countless trials, including being the lead counsel in all murder cases in Umatilla County for the last 12 years. Chris possesses far more integrity, experience and professionalism than his opponent. Please join me in voting for Chris Brauer.

The Spanish I students made flowers and masks to go on the altars. Spanish III students did individual projects, such as children's books, brochures and power point presentations.
