Nazarene church to host missionaries Governor of Oregon, Mr. Kitzhaber, From the information in the East Oregonian, you have proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that you talk with a forked tongue. A few weeks ago while in this east ern Oregon area, you expounded on the need for more family-wage jobs. Now you are throwing up roadblocks to a highly economical coal-shipping facility in Morrow County. The Morrow Pacific Project has satisfied all EPA regulations. Now you come along and attempt to stall for years a project that Morrow County and Oregon require now. Asia will get coal from somewhere. It must be from the U.S.; that is the cleanest-burning coal available. I urge you to recall your letters to the Corp of Engi neers requesting a costly environmental impact statement. Get behind Oregon’s economy and job growth, and urge speedy implementation of this project. Joe Miller, Heppner, OR Support Hansell for Senate After several weeks of reading about, and thinking about, the candidates in the primary election for Oregon Senate District 2 9 ,1 have come to the conclusion that Bill Hansell will get my vote. As a long-time volunteer in my church, community and, occasionally, in Umatilla County, 1 have had several contacts with Mr. Hansell in his role as a county com missioner. We have not always agreed on every issue. We have been in situations where we looked at the same set of facts, but “weighted” them differently—which sometimes resulted in being on the opposite sides of the final “yes/ no” decision to be made. But that’s okay—my wife and I don’t agree on every issue either. It has been my observation that Mr. Hansell thor oughly explores the issues before him and never forgets that he represents every citizen of the county as he strives to find the “balance” which leads to good governmental decisions. That is what 1 would expect from him as an Oregon state senator.. .and why he’ll get my vote.
