WEDNESDAY, MAY 9, 2018 HERMISTONHERALD.COM • A9 OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR County government works and to explore suggestions, if necessary, to move forward. Not a highlight reel or headline committee task, but one of vision and building on foundations built. Although Commissioner Murdock and I do not always agree, his honesty, sincerity and above all “vision” has earned my full support and excitement for his re-election to the Umatilla County Board of Commissioners. Murdock has vision for county Vision comes with many different definitions, but the constant is it is never stationary. Umatilla County Commissioner George Murdock has, during his term as Umatilla County Commissioner, been able to express his vision. It is clear that his vision for Umatilla County comes into focus through listening, research and reasoning. His vision for Umatilla County is grounded in reality yet broad enough to know our future is of brave exploration of opportunities unrealized. One of the examples is the lead that Commissioner Murdock took in the establishment of the Umatilla County Charter Review Committee (Disclosure: I am a member) to examine the nuts and bolts of how Umatilla DAN DORRAN HERMISTON Community stepped up with lost dog While traveling last October, at Biggs Junction we discovered to our horror that our dog, Vinnie, was missing. We thought he must have gotten out at the rest stop at Boardman. As it turned out, we lost him at Biggs Junction. He was found by kind people at the grain elevators there last week. He is now home! The reason for this letter is that we were bowled over by the kindness and help from the community of Boardman and Morrow County. The dispatcher, police officers and many individuals took an interest in our lost dog. When we recount our misadventure, we tell how people searched, put up posters, contacted us and really sustained us for the six months Vinnie was missing. We thank you with all our hearts. You are an amazing community!
