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

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.
