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

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!
