MFA boosts EOU, region

Of all the innovative ideas to come along in our community lately, Eastern Oregon University’s new master of fine arts degree in creative writing ranks among the best. Look for it to do good things both for the University, and the community at large.
 

Veterans deserve our thanks

The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month is coming up Sunday.

 

Great job, state champ UHS Bobcats

Eugene calls itself the track capital of the world. Union and Cove just might have a right to call itself the cross country capital of Oregon.

 

Remember to vote

The clock is winding down and there’s less than a day left for people to vote in for the Nov. 6 general election. If ever there was a time for mugwumps to get off the fence, this is it.

 

With time change, watch out for pedestrians

With the annual time change occurring this Sunday at 2 a.m., it’s time to remember the advice, “See and be seen.”

Drivers and pedestrians alike need to be vigilant to prevent accidents. Darkness will fall one hour earlier, meaning pedestrians need to remember to wear bright or reflective clothing.

So far this year, 47 pedestrians in Oregon have died in motor vehicle traffic crashes. That’s as many as all of last year. Remember, see and be seen. 

 

Re-elect Greg Walden

Re-electing the incumbent in a congressional district that one party has dominated for decades can become something like a habit.
 

Vote no on Measure 80

Vote no on 2 casino measures

Whether you like or you abhor gambling, Oregon’s public services are hooked on it.
 

City election

Ballots will begin arriving in the mail soon. La Grande voters should re-elect Daniel Pokorney as mayor and elect John Lackey to the council. 

 

Vote yes on 79, 84

When the economy is humming along, government coffers tend to be full.
