Credit volunteers for new handrail To the Editor: We have attended football games for many years in Heppner and have seen people struggle down the steps with no handrail to the seating. Young people have often helped the elderly to be safe. Now there is a new, strong handrail to help you down. When you go to a game now and use the handrail, re member the following volunteers who installed it: Sonny Bladle, Don Stroeber, Butch Laughlin and Archie Ball. Mary Jean McCabe, Heppner Yardsticks needed Dear Editor: As fall approaches, so do the annual lone Education Foundation dinner and the Heppner Booster Club auction and barbecue. I am working on projects for those two events which require yardsticks. I would prefer yardsticks from businesses in Morrow County, but will be also take any yardsticks G-T readers might have Thanks so much, Jannie Allen, lone Oregonians urged to register to vote This month, the Secretary of State’s office will be mailing postcards to eligible voters across Oregon offer ing them the opportunity to register to vote. The postcards will be sent to Oregonians who, according to our records, may be eligible to vote. If you receive a postcard, please consider registering to vote. If you receive a postcard and believe you are al ready registered to vote, please take a moment to confirm your voter registration information at oregonvotes.gov. To vote in the November Election, you must be reg istered no later than Oct.14, 2014. Earlier this year, the Secretary of State’s office joined the Electronic Registration Information Center, a project to improve voting rolls across the country. The first step in this effort is to reach out to all eligible voters who may not be registered and thus unable to participate in our election system. The next step focuses on the integrity of our voting rolls, cross-checking with DMV, the U.S. Postal Service and the Social Security Death Index. We will also work with other participating states to ensure that voters are only registered in the state in which they reside. If you receive a postcard, it means that our records indicate that you are eligible to vote in Oregon but may not be registered. Voting is a fundamental right, and I encourage all Oregonians to exercise their right to vote.
