Don’t let wind farms ruin us
To the editor:
How many people are aware that a 46,000-acre wind farm of 40-story high windmills is poised to destroy the scenic beauty of Union County? Do the people of Baker County realize that the same corporation who wants to build this is planning on doing the same to our lands?

Kitzhaber is ready to lead — now
To the editor:
Dudley is running on a “new face” “new direction” platform. It’s the best he can do as a completely untested candidate with no political, job-creating, or qualifying management experience. It is very understandable that Oregonians are hoping for a miracle. But let’s take a look at California’s hope for a miracle eight years ago.

Socialists posing as Democrats
To the editor:
The elections are nearing and it seems a good time to review my voting experience and add some insight. My first vote was in 1940 and I only missed a few votes since with excused absences in WW II.
The recent vote on Obama’s medical care bill is frightening. To have the Congress rush this bill so fast that they were voting on it until 3 a.m. with the president waiting in his office later the same day with his pen poised to sign it adds to the fright.

Editorial board misses mark
To the editor:
The idea that tax cuts for the wealthy will stimulate the economy and will pay for themselves has been thoroughly and repeatedly discredited. I therefore found it discouraging to read your assertion that cutting the capital gains tax — and digging an $800 million hole in Oregon’s budget — will create jobs (“Dudley for governor,” Oct. 18). It made me want to rest my weary head on the kitchen table.

Celtic Society will be no more
To the editor:
It is with heavy hearts that we, the Executive Council of the Eastern Oregon Celtic Society (EOCS) met Sept. 30 and voted unanimously to dissolve the Society. We have all enjoyed hosting the Highland Games and Celtic Festival immensely the past two years. However the problems we have had regarding the venue at Leo Adler Field have proven to be too much.

Be patient with our president
To the editor:
What has happened to our national character? We could take lessons from our Chilean neighbors. We, too, got stuck in a deep hole that was long in the making. They, however, showed supreme patience during days of darkness and again when the tiniest improvements were made. Rescue efforts were slow but steady with laser-like focus on bringing every last man up alive and well.

Dudley wrong to blame Kitzhaber
To the editor:
Any fair-minded person has to feel outrage, or at least mild disgust, at Chris Dudley’s attempt to blame John Kitzhaber for the current state of the Oregon economy. Everyone knows the national economy is dragging every state down, and Gov. Kitzhaber left office eight years ago.

Mary Heriza’s stories will linger
To the editor:
Many people remember the “Story Lady” Mary Heriza who just passed away recently after living here in Baker City for most of her life, raising eight children. Between 1970 and 1990 she was a weekly presence on the local radio KBKR, reading stories to children. It was an honor for me celebrating her life at her funeral, even though I only knew her as a kind, gentle parishioner for the past five years.
