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.

Dia de los Muertos
is a holiday celebrated in
Mexico and in other parts of
Latin America. Dia de los
Muertos translates into
English as Day of the Dead.
The holiday is celebrated
from Oct. 31 through Nov.
2 to honor the dead.
This year’s Spanish
classes all participated in the
holiday. The Spanish II
classes created altars for
people who have passed
away. The altars have the
deceased’s picture and their
favorite food, movie, toy,
drink and a representation of
their favorite pastime on
them. 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. All the
classes read information,
watched a video and did
research on the holiday to
learn about this aspect of the
Hispanic culture.
