As a board member of The Arc of Umatilla County I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the five members of the ALMS Kindness Club who came out on February 16th to support The Arc's…

I am disappointed that the city of Hermiston chose to build a skate park instead of a covered swimming pool. I think the latter would serve a much greater population than the former.

I really care about Hermiston and the surrounding communities. I am truly fortunate to be part of the city government in Hermiston. It is an honor to be re-elected to serve a third term as cit…

We have the opportunity to vote for Representative Greg Walden, sending him back to Congress to continue to represent us through these continuing challenging times. We need his hard-working, e…

I voted for George as commissioner in the last race, but will not vote for him this time. You see, I received a flier yesterday from the Re-Elect George campaign, and I say it lacks of integri…

I am writing this letter to you in support of Jamie McLeod-Skinner for Congress.

I would like to recommend a vote for city councilwoman Lori Davis in the November election. She is a longtime resident and a friend of mine. Lori is known to be truthful and reliable. She’s an…

This county election is an easy choice.

Just a point of clarification on your six-man football article (“Six-man football debuts,” Sept. 6).1948 was not the last year the sport was played in Oregon. I played for the state championsh…

A big hats off to ACE Hardware.

Dear friends:

Ryan Wesley Bounds’ nomination to the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals was approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee on June 7. Lady Justice, with her blindfold and scales of justice, smiled.

I am proud to say that Starbucks in Hermiston deserves a big applause for how they treat our homeless!

It’s a shame a handful of individuals rewrote Hermiston High School history by altering the 2018 commencement.

On behalf of the clients of the Agape House, I want to extend our great thanks to the Hermiston postal carriers and the people of the Hermiston area for the great results of the postal carrier…

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…

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…

I urge the voters of Umatilla County to re-elect Larry Givens as our county commissioner. He has been a hard-working, hands-on commissioner who has devoted countless hours to help move Umatill…

I’ve heard that one of the judicial candidates for Umatilla and Morrow Counties has suggested that he is better qualified to be judge because of the large number of court appearances he’s made…

I support Larry Givens in his race for Umatilla County Commissioner. Although I do not know his opponent, I just can’t see the case for making a change. Larry has been a conscientious and hard…
