Cast a vote that will count for Or egonians, no matter where we live To the Editor: Have you noticed how little regard the current US Senator from Oregon Ron Wyden and governor candidate John Kitzhaber have for central and eastern Oregon during this ongoing campaign season? In the past week I have traveled from Klamath Falls, Bend, Prineville, Spray, Heppner, Lexington, Hermiston, and Pendleton and have not noticed a single yard sign or billboard sign hailing a candidate from the liberal party. Not one. To me this says what you folks have to say or have concerns about don’t matter to them. They have already decided what’s good for us, and l don’t think it’s going to be good. Their not even concerned how we vote or if we vote at all. What they deliver to us in return - 1 expect Zip! Eastern and Central Oregon your voice and your vote means diddle squat to this two candidates. Candidates Chris Dudley, Jim Huffman, and Greg Walden and their scores of volunteers have been carrying their message loud and clear throughout the state o f Oregon for Oregonians. They have visited our com munities, spoke to us face to face, appeared in town hall meetings where w e’ve voiced our concerns, broke bread with us, attended local events, shook our hands, and put a hand to our shoulder. Their message and visions have come to us personally. So neighbors cast a vote that will make a differ ence, a vote that will count for Oregonians, no matter where we live. A vote that reveals a new door to hope and vision that Oregon will have the opportunity to be all it can be. A vote in the House o f Representatives and the halls o f Congress that speaks for Oregonians with the intent o f our National and Oregon Constitutions. And these three candidates have all visited Hep pner where there’s a rock that’s inscribed with the slogan “Enough Is Enough”. Dick Sargent Heppner Honest mistake, no worries Letter to the Editor: Great picture o f Ann and John M urray’s young est son with his first elk. You inadvertently called him Kevin. His “real” Irish name is Paddy. Honest mistake, no worries. Mark Murray Prairie City Heppner FFA competes in District Soil Judging Competition “Oldies Night” set for Heppner on Oct. 16 Back in the 1950s many adult observers confi dently predicted rock and roll music was a fad which would come and go quickly. Perhaps it was wishful thinking. Either way, they were wrong. Teenagers and the songwriters and perform ers who loved the new mu sic boldly sang out “It Will Stand!” And “Rock and Roll is Here to Stay” - and it turns out they were right. More than 50 years later millions of people still enjoy the recordings of Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, the Ever- ly Brothers, and Fats Domino, along with scores of other rock ‘n’ roll pioneers. On Saturday, October 16, the Oregon Trail Library District will bring area disc jockey Bob and his ‘Oldies Night’ to Heppner. The pro gram will begin at 6:30 p.m. at the Heppner City Hall. All ages are invited. Bob Jones, library director at Milton-Freewater, will bring part of his 20,000- song collection to transport program attendees back to the thrilling days of Top 40 radio.
