doesn’t appear to be adequate parking, so it is
not unusual to find cars parked along the side
of the road, complicating traffic and adding to
the congestion. We now have skydivers land-
ing in the field across from the airport and then
walking across Camp Polk Road with all their
gear to get back to the airport. How safe is this
really when it involves both sides of a major
road so close to town?
I, too, have nothing against the sport or the
people involved, but it is for sure a faulty, erro-
neous location.

To the Editor:
In response to the Susan Tank letter to the
editor, concerning Andrew Lustcutoff’s per-
ceived slight to fathers the world over for hav-
ing exhibited such ignorance and insensitivity
by mentioning, in his well-written article about
three local bike racers, that Shawna Palanuk
was a mother early in the text while not identi-
fying Creed Siebel as a father until much later
in the article.
Are you freakin’ kidding me? Surely we
can all agree that devoted moms and dads
(oops, now I’ve done it too) are a good thing
and try to remember a time when we weren’t
looking for imaginary slights and injustices
where none exist.
While I consider these thing I’m also going
to try and remember a time when a black
box lying in the street wasn’t seen as “suspi-
cious” and it didn’t require an Oregon State
Bomb Unit, the Deschutes County Sheriffs
Department, the City of Sisters Public Works
Department and a water cannon to invade the
privacy of an innocent and gender-neutral
“portable wood router with some accessories.”
Sheesh, get a grip.

To the Editor:
Hats off to Jim Cornelius for his excellent
historic commentary on the Middle East, “The
Long Echo of the Arab Revolt,” (The Nugget,
June 15, page 25).
We need first-class historical background
pieces such as this in order to maintain our
perspective amidst violent events.

To the Editor:
In an interesting turn of events I was
advised this past Friday by the Deschutes
County human resources director and county
legal team that (sheriff candidate Deputy
Eric) Kozowski’s political campaign team has
requested to review my now-10-year-old per-
sonnel file.
This an apparent response to my critical
commentary in the public forum of his qualifi-
cations and experience to be elected sheriff of
Deschutes County.
Harassment? Intimidation? Poor judge-
ment? Take your pick.
When I related this to friends of mine in
Wallowa County their response was illuminat-
ing — they are not surprised to hear of the can-
didate endorsing such a tactic.
Reminds me of the bad old days under Greg
Brown.
As for me, I stand by George Orwell who
wrote “If you have embraced a creed which
appears to be free from the ordinary dirtiness
of politics — a creed from which you yourself
cannot expect to draw any material advantage
surely that proves you are right.”

To the Editor:
Yesterday, I was walking my dog, in town
on a long leash, along an old ditch line right
off of Elm Street.
I did not even see the fawn laying in the
grass, it was so tiny. My dog has absolutely no
interest in deer, never chases or even looks at
them. The dog was sniffing the grass, the baby
jumped up, crying and bolted.
The doe came out of nowhere. I had not
even seen her, and attacked my dog, very
swiftly, and kicked him in the head. The dog
staggered and was dazed.
The doe gathered herself for a second
attack with both front legs. It all happened so
fast. I yelled “No!” the dog tried to scramble
away as I hauled on his leash (he weighs 85
pounds).
We managed to escape further assault as
the doe decided to run after her little one.
Thankfully. No serious injury to fawn, doe or
the dog.
In the woods I am careful and watch for
babies this time of year. This can happen, right
in town.
