To the editor: I am writing in support of Kathy Schwartz for county commissioner. I had the opportunity to meet with Kathy recently to talk about agriculture in Wasco County. After a morning of discussion, I can say that Kathy understands the importance of agriculture to Wasco County and is well-informed on many of the issues facing the farming community.
To the editor: I recently joined other local citizens to listen to and speak with Kathy Schwartz. I am writing to share several observations which lead me to urge voters to enthusiastically cast their vote in support of Kathy Schwartz for Wasco County commissioner.
To the editor: While I agree with Mr. Summer’s ‘Hats off to ODFW (Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife)’ for purchasing the land on Tygh Ridge/breaks of the Deschutes, I feel differently about what it should mean.
To the editor: My vote will be for Carolyn Wood for City Council. Why? She is the better qualified candidate. Carolyn has extensive experience in local government. She is hard-working, intelligent and honest. Also, she is from this area; she knows the history and she knows many of our citizens.

No matter what you call them — brick walls, insurmountable obstacles, predictable or complete surprises, financial crises — things will never change if you don’t acknowledge they’re real. A key to overcoming the desire to quit is to identify those “brick walls” and then figure out how to crash through them.
