To the editor: We would like to urge all Heppner residents to vote for Jim Kindle for mayor. Jim is a passion- ate citizen who wants to actively work to make the community of Heppner the best it can be. We have both been involved in numerous organizations and events with Jim and know first- hand his responsibility, ded- ication and commitment. When Jim says he’ll get something done, he does. Jim has extensive expe- rience working successfully with all types of people in a variety of environments. He has been a community volunteer for just about everything and has volun- teered as a firefighter for many years. He is a member of several organizations including the HHS Booster Club, the Elks and Odd- Fellows. Jim has spent a life- time cultivating relation- ships with leaders through- out Heppner and Morrow County as well as law en- forcement. As a result, he will be able to work with them to get Heppner mov- ing in the direction so many of its residents desire. We support Jim Kindle and ask you to as well. Vote Kindle for Mayor. Sincerely, Ken and Carri Grieb Heppner Renewable energy to be discussed The Morrow County planning commission has scheduled two work ses- sions to consider a number of renewable energy topics on Oct. 30 and again on Dec. 4, both starting at 6 p.m. at the Bartholomew Building in Heppner. Both are learning sessions for the planning commission and planning staff. Guest speakers have been invited to speak about noise associated with re- newable energy sources and how renewable ener- gy effects wildlife at the December meeting. Other topics of discussion will be glare/glint, red lights at night, view shed, setbacks and financial assurance. Renewable energy is currently a big topic at the planning department and with the planning commis- sion. Renewable energy is energy that is collected from renewable sources, which are naturally replen- ished on a human timescale, such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves and geother- mal heat. Over the past decade, Morrow County has seen a number of wind projects permitted and developed. More recently, solar de- velopment is being permit- ted throughout the county. Permits have been issued by the county, the Ore- gon Department of Energy (ODOE) and the Energy Siting Council (EFSC).
