Lespe ranee for Heppner City Councilor Concerned Heppner Resident: I would openly like to declare my support of Glorene Lesperance for the position of Heppner City Councilor. Glorene has lived in Heppner for the majority o f her life, working through the good and the heartache of marriage, raising her children, building a career, and finally achiev ing the ability to retire and focus on her grandchildren and this wonderful town that she has called home for over 40 years. Throughout Glorene’s life she has volunteered help ing fellow citizens in numerous capacities, but the one that I am most familiar with in an official capacity, was her dedication as a Red Cross volunteer in Morrow County. During my tenure at Morrow County Sheriffs Office 1 had numerous occasions to request support from Red Cross for citizens in the area during their time of need; Glorene was not only quick to respond but continually went above and beyond normal expectations to help those in need feel more comfortable. Although Glorene does not have previous city council experience, she is a loyal, dedicated individual who will bring a fresh, unbiased perspective while she becomes familiar w ith the issues at hand. Glorene has demonstrated her credibility, honesty and trustworthiness throughout her career; traits that are highly desirable in a councilor. I am confident that Glorene is the right choice for Hep pner City Councilor. Sincerely, Jeanine E. Dilley, Boardman, OR Open motorized access it’s more than ju st ‘ recreation — Over the Tee Cup Tuesday, Sept. 30, was the last day of organized play for 2014 for the ladies of Willow Creek Country Club.

Too often folks only look at their access through a nar row prism of recreation, and we need to broaden that view considerably. We always need to remember, each person that enjoys open access to public lands as a recreational opportunity must supply up in our small remote towns that are our life-lines when the rest of us are “recreating.” Those communities’ survival are dependent on their abil ity to openly access the resources around them. From firewood to heat their homes, to supplementary foods to feed their families, to remembrance sites where they have laid family to rest, the list goes on and on; these communities are directly tied to the landscape and their ability to access it. Please remember, open access is not simply a recre ational fight, it’s a fight of basic human rights to openly and freely access resources to sustain individual local residents and communities now and into the future. Right now the Wallowa Whitman National Forest (WWNF) supervisor’s office staff is developing the Sub-Part A report for the travel management plan behind closed doors. This “report” will determine what “they” feel is the minimum roads systems needed to manage our mountains, and the access to them. They have seen numer ous requests to open up the report development process and allow the public input prior to development of the report, and the forest supervisor has stated the public will only see the report after its development, which disallows public participation in the development of the report. It is important you stand up and call for the WWNF to allow for your input into developing that report. John D.
