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?

unfair and irresponsible,”

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.
