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…

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…

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 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…

I am writing to support Larry Given’s re-election as Umatilla County Commissioner. Larry has worked tirelessly on behalf of the citizens of this county, and deserves our continued support. He …
