Interesting e-mail received Editor's note: The Gazette-Times occasionally receives interesting e-m ail requests. The follow ing is one we received the past week and we thought it would he o f interest to our readers. My name is Karen White and I live in Midland Texas. Recently I purchased a saddle that was won at the Oregon Trail Pro Rodeo, All Around Cowboy, in 1992. I was curious as to who have won this saddle. I am hoping you have some records or know of someone I could speak with that could tell me who won the saddle. I thank you in advance for your assistance in looking for this information. 1 appreciate the information. We were just wondering how the saddle ended up 1800 miles from Oregon. Karen White The G -T’s response is: Marty Jones of Hobbs, New Mexico won that saddle. We do not know how to contact him. Tax toilet paper instead! I understand they are adding another tax on cigarettes to be spent on whatever they choose. Why don’t they tax toilet paper and get everybody evenly? Aren’t the smokers in enough trouble by just having the habit? (s) Georgia Irvin Irrigon Finley Buttes income Continued from page one unfair and irresponsible,” Koffler wrote. Newly elected Heppner M ayor Les Paustian said Monday the cities have many needs that are not being met and could use the money. He specifically pointed out an example of Heppner's street sweeper, which is old, bro ken down and cannot be fixed. He also mentioned that the sewage treatment plant needs major mainte nance for which the city has no money. Paustian said the county is using the tippage money for matching grants “that we are not getting any use out of.” He pointed to the county OHV Park as an example. “We are close to the people, we know what the needs are,” he added. B oth P au stian and Doherty emphasized that the coalition of cities would be mindful of the needs of the unincorporated areas of the county, areas that have in the past benefited from tippage fee grants and funding in the county budget. “We are con sidering the county a partner in this,” Doherty. “We are not trying to exclude the county.” The other four cities in the county are planning on vot ing on their own resolutions in February, and if an agree ment cannot be reached with the county on the tippage fee distribution, the cities plan to gather signatures to put a resolution on the ballot in May. The petitions need to be filed by February 14 in order to make the May elec tion. H EPPNER ELKS 358 67 6-91 81 - "Where Friends Meet" 142 N o r t h M a in Thursday.
