Without passage of this levy,there will be a reduction of ser- vices and consequently,a chilling effect on prosecution.Many offenders will not get caught.Others will have an inadequate investigation. Some will have cases dismissed because the officer has moved. I urge you to support the Sheriff's levy.Help reduce crime!

If elected to the board of that school district, I would strive to ensure effective education of tomorrow's adults.In addition to ad- dressing routine issues, I would ask my school board colleagues and fellow citizens to reemphasize the"Three Rs"and reinstate the"Three Cs".We're all familiar with the"Three Rs"and the tech- nological skills to apply them.The"Three Cs"I refer to are citizen- i ship,civility,and community. Citizenship in a democracy demands intelligent participation. I would urge fellow board members to cosider returning effective education in civics—the study of citizens'rights and responsibili- ties–to the classroom.Political literacy is essential to all who would be concerned and contributing citizens rather than mere comfort- able.and complacent oodsarners. Civility–respect of and consideration for others–must be rein- forced in our society through the classroom. I would urge fellow board members to consider measures that would improve appear- ance and behavior in our schools without stifling real individuality and diversity. Community–a feeling of secure membership in society–may be fostered in schools that ensure individual students that they are not lost in the crowd. I would urge fellow board members to con- sider retaining neighborhood schools to which younger children could walk and at which they would be known. I look forward to sharing specifics of this vision with fellow citi- zens. (This information furnished by William Gardner.)

I am delighted to contribute time and energy to the community I live in. Higher education has enabled my career and enriched my life. Because of this, I have worked hard on the Central Or- egon Regional Advisory Board to bring a "branch campus" to Central Oregon and I would like to help oversee its installation. But this must be done without compromising COCC's commu- nity college mission,which has earned so much public trust and support over the past 50 years. I know and understand COCC, through my position on the COCC Budget Committee.And I un- derstand the needs and dynamics of a university, from having been both a student and a professor. Therefore I offer unique experience in helping to make a"branch campus"a truly suc- cessful venture for students and the community life of all Central Oregon,while at the same time ensuring that essential commu- nity college services are maintained and enhanced.

PRIOR GOVERNMENTAL EXPERIENCE: Director,Central Oregon Community College,Bend,Oregon; Member,Central Oregon Regional Advisory Board,State Board of Higher Education,State of Oregon; -- Member, Budget Committee, Board of Directors of Central Or- egon Community College,Bend,Oregon; Chair,Governor's Task Force on Juvenile Delinquency,State of Minnesota. I am delighted to contribute time and energy to the community I live in. Higher education has enabled my career and enriched my life. Because of this, I have worked hard on the Central Or- egon Regional Advisory Board to bring a "branch campus" to Central Oregon and I would like to help oversee its installation. But this must be done without compromising COCC's commu- nity college mission,which has earned so much public trust and support over the past 50 years. I know and understand COCC, through my position on the COCC Budget Committee.And I un- derstand the needs and dynamics of a university, from having been both a student and a professor. Therefore I offer unique experience in helping to make a"branch campus"a truly suc- cessful venture for students and the community life of all Central Oregon,while at the same time ensuring that essential commu- nity college services are maintained and enhanced.

OCCUPATIONAL BACKGROUND: Madras Police Officer; Jefferson County Sheriff's Deputy; DARE Officer; Warm Springs Forest Products Powerhouse Operator;U.S.Navy;Youth and High School Soccer Referee;Little League Umpire. EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND: Bachelor of Science,Oregon State University,1980 PRIOR GOVERNMENTAL EXPERIENCE:None Vision: COPRD organizes,facilitates,or provides a wide variety of posi- tive recreational activities for youth and adults.These activities are made available at no or low cost through wise stewardship of taxpayer's funds. Mission: COPRD periodically analyzes the recreational needs of the Dis- trict,and works to meet those needs in a fiscally responsible man- ner. General Comments: With responsible open-minded leadership, COPRD is poised to provide a variety of programs and recreational opportunities for our community.The youth in our community,in particular,deserve more opportunities for positive activities.While such activities will not solve all of our community's problems,they can help to reduce them. Finding things for youth to do may not be a community's responsibility,but if in doing so it makes our community more liv- able,then it is a noble end. Activities for adults and seniors is equally important.Their ability to pursue-tif"me sports,or other recreational activities,can add to the overall health and welfare of our community.Adults and se- niors participating in recreational activities are role models for our youth.Our youth,in turn,eventually become adults and can look forward to continuing participation. Of course wise use of taxpayer's funds and other resources is es- sential.With careful stewardship COPRA can continue to meet the needs of the District. COPRD Board Members have done a rea- sonable job of balancing their fiscal constraints against the District's needs since 1975. 1 can benefit this board and its District by pro- viding thoughtful insights and analyses,tactfully presented,based upon unique experiences. My candidacy is endorsed by former COPRD Directors Vicki Allen and Milt Garthwaite. (This information furnished by Bruce D.
