An electoral ‘perfect storm’? As the perfect storm brews over and around the East Coast, could it be a harbinger of another perfect storm called a national election? While there is much talk and polling that indicates the presidential election might be very close, we recall the close one between George W. Bush and A1 Gore. The Supreme Court had to make the final call, and the results were not immediately forthcom ing. Surely history won’t repeat. But don’t be surprised if it does. Meanwhile, out here in fly-over country (as Rush Limbaugh refers to us country folk), life will go on regard less. The outcome of the national election is important, but we don’t have near as much influence on it as we do our local elections. And, even though we complain that the major popula tion centers run our state, we do make a difference. For example, the point was made at the Republican 2nd Con gressional District Convention this year that there were several instances in the last election that could have had a different outcome if just a few more voters had turned out. Eastern Oregon could have been the few that made the difference. There is a lot hanging on this election right here in our community and state. There are numerous issues to be decided and several candidates to be elected. We, the members of the Willow Creek Tea Party, are proud to be members of this great little community. We are confident that as you exercise your right to vote, the outcome will be positive and we will continue to thrive out here in fly-over country. If you haven’t already done so, please get those bal lots filled out and sent out right away. Thanks, Jack Meligan, Heppner For Willow Creek Tea Party Rea shows ‘strength of good leader’ Dear Editor, This letter is written in support of Leann Rea’s can didacy for Morrow County Commissioner 1 have watched Leann’s performance during her tenure on the commission and have been impressed for several reasons. Leann has the strength of her convictions and makes sound decisions that benefit the people of Morrow County. She also has the ability to reconsider decisions after get ting additional information and input, and modifying her stance, a strength of a good leader. She is uniquely qualified, having lived in all geo graphic areas of the county. Her knowledge of all areas of the county gives her a perspective that few have. I have watched her in budget meetings, nonprofit boards and economic development committees. She shows good common sense and has a gift of getting to the heart of the matter, and is a problem solver. Please give her your vote for Morrow County Com missioner. George Koffler, Hermiston, OR Perry cares about Heppner To the Editor: I am writing in support of Joe Perry for Mayor of Heppner. Joe has taken the time to become very familiar with the local city government and has attended the city council meetings on a regular basis. Joe has been actively involved in City Government Committee (Police Commission). Joe has gotten involved in many local community activities, chamber of commerce, and coordinates the local parades that occur in Heppner (Christmas Light Parade, St. Pat rick's Great Green Parade and the Morrow County Fair and Rodeo Parade), and has become very active in the community. I truly believe Joe really cares about the Heppner community and will do a great job as mayor. Sincerely, Les Paustian, Heppner Catholic men to hold First Friday meeting “Antone Minthorn: For All the People”...how true. Over the last several months, 1 have had the privilege to read, learn and actually work side by side with this quiet, always-methodical man. What knowledge and wis dom. I have yet to meet a person that has done so much for Eastern Oregon, not only for the Native American but for all of us. Rebuilding of Celilo Falls housing was a priority of Mr. Minthorn. He has been the best friend of the fisherman by implementing the return of the salmon to the Umatilla River. The economies of the Port of Umatilla and the Co lumbia River are no strangers to Antone. Moving grain, coal, and introducing irrigation from the Columbia for the farmers (remember Buckets for Buckets?) have been but a few items championed by Mr. Minthorn. Roads, pipes, and electrical infrastructures in place for more growth at the Wildhorse area (divita, hotel, casino, forest service, and Cayuse Technologies).. .these were Antone’s vision and they have come to fruition and grown. In the Wallowa Lake project, Antone is already working with all the concerns and working to correct the problems to this beautiful area. The environment of Hell’s Canyon is always under his watchful eye. Healthcare and education are Antone's biggest concerns. The vision of cyber and new innovations beyond what we see now is what Antone wants in our children’s education, keeping the history of our land free and pure. When elected, I know Mr. Minthorn can bring unity and good open conversations to get real work done in Salem. Antone Minthorn will not see business as usual but will be for all the people. I am pleased to place my vote for Antone Minthorn. Sue Petersen, Pendleton, OR Lieuallen will work tirelessly Dear Editor: This letter is written in support of Jon Lieuallen for Circuit Court Judge in the 6th Judicial District of Oregon. I have known Jon Lieuallen for 42 years. Through our many ventures together, whether personal or orga nizational, financial or non-monetary, I’ve always found Jon to be a good listener, someone who’s intellectually reflective respectful in his decision-making processes and treatment o f others. Jon is an exceptional advisor and arbitrator who possesses the ability to interpret and enforce rules of pro cedure as well as establish new rules in situations where there are no procedures already set in place by law. He will also effectively use relevant information and sound individual judgment to determine whether events or pro cesses comply with laws, regulations or standards. He brings a wide array of knowledge to the bench as he has acted responsibly in his duties as an Assistant D. A. in Crook County, and both public defender and private practice attorney in Umatilla County. Jon will bring an invigorating and revitalizing energy to the 6th district, as will be witnessed by his strong work ethic and never-tiring persistence to labor until the task is completed correctly. 1 firmly urge you to vote for Jon Lieuallen for circuit court judge.
