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”.

Great picture o f Ann and John M urray’s young

Kevin. His “real” Irish name is Paddy. Honest mistake,

“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.

Admission is free
and there’s no extra charge for
the memories the songs will
bring back.
Oldies Night features
hit songs from the first decade
of rock ‘n’ roll, beginning with
Bill Haley’s “Rock Around
the Clock” (a number one hit
in 1955) and going to the eve
of the British Invasion with
“Louie, Louie” by the Kings-
men, which was at number two
on the charts when the Beatles
debuted in January 1964.
“In all, you’ll hear
40 hits by 40 different artists,
along with information about
the songs, the writers, and the
recording artists. Dancing is
optional, but fun is compulso
ry,” Jones said. “The program
brings back the oldies that the
oldies radio stations seem to
have forgotten.”
Oldies Night docu
ments a significant chapter in
the musical history of Ameri
ca. It is hosted by the library
district as one of the A Sense
of Place cultural programs in
collaboration with Libraries
of Eastern Oregon (LEO).A
Sense of Place programs are
made possible through a fed
eral grant to LEO from the In

Services (IMLS).

program, please contact li
