Driver unhurt in rollover near Sisters
A 30-year-old woman
and her passenger escaped
injury in a rollover accident
on Highway 20 just east of
Sisters on Monday.
On Monday, November
4, at approximately 8:23
a.m. the Deschutes County
Sheriff 9s Office was dis-
patched to a reported roll
over motor vehicle accident
on Highway 20 one mile east
of Sisters. Deputies located
a yellow Ford XST pickup
on the north side of the road
resting on its driver9s side.
Deputies also located the
driver and passenger of the
vehicle and determined they
suffered no injuries.
An investigation into
the crash determined that
the pickup driver, Corena
Freel, age 30, was traveling
behind another SUV-type
vehicle traveling westbound
on Highway 20. The SUV
began to slow to conduct a
right-hand turn into a drive-
way. Freel was not able to
slow down behind the SUV
and was forced to attempt to
drive around the SUV while
crossing the center line of
the highway. This caused
the pickup to lose control,
and drive off the north side
of the roadway. The vehi-
cle rolled multiple times
before coming to rest on its
side.
The accident is still under
investigation to determine if
speed, distracted driving, or
following too close contrib-
uted to the crash. Drugs or
alcohol are not believed to be
factors.
The crash closed both
lanes of travel for approxi-
mately 5 to 10 minutes.
The sheriff 9s office was
assisted by Sisters Fire and
ODOT.

that climate change was a factor and politics was somehow
involved: It sounds to me like you got a dose of reality and
real science rather than the political propaganda and pseudo-
science you get on conservative media.
The fact is that human-created climate change and certain
crop pesticides like NMP, Imidacloprid and Chlorothalonil
have been reported to be the likely cause of colony collapse
disorder. The Department of Agriculture is spending a paltry
$3 million to investigate this.
The EPA is doing little to protect the environment. The EPA
is primarily protecting corporations. This administration bur-
ies, defunds and denies science and you should be upset about
that. If you really want to help the bees by reversing climate
change and regulating pesticides, you should elect a govern-
ment that supports science, instead of denying in order to plun-
der the country9s natural resources to create a few jobs.
It9s admirable that you care about the bees, but planting
more flowers will not help. If you want to do your part to help
the bees, drive your car less, or better yet buy an electric car. If
you use pesticides, stop using them.

To the Editor
Actually, this is a letter to thank the young lady who paid
for the rotisserie chicken I picked up at Ray9s last Friday.
I hope you read The Nugget so you will know how much I
appreciate your thoughtfulness and generosity.
I looked for you in the parking lot but you had disappeared.
You are truly a blessing.
