Spilyay Tymoo Editorial E Coosh EEWi (Tlic way it is) Letters to the Editor Warm Springs, Oregon : "Spityay Spealts" fcniroR Water, water, or, should wc say,"Chooosshh! !" Where has all the water gone? Today wc read about how critical the water situ ation is in the Portland area to where there is restriction on daily use for the summer months on all residents. Once where streams flowed freely with plenty of water show this is a critical year. Even here in Warm Springs water has always been plentiful at the present time many springs are drying up and its just the first part of July. And the way things look it won't get any better. Wc need some big rain storms here and soon. This is one of the worst years for water in many many moons. Everyone wants to get a hold of all the water they can. There are so many who need water and with so little to go around. The farmers need water, stockmen, city people, the wildlife and fish all need water to survive. So what's the solution to a mess like this. Let's just hope someone don't say, "What's yours is mine too, and what's mine is mine." Let's not leave out the "Spotted Owl," he needs water to survive just as the loggers need logs to survive. Like stories of the olden days used to go, "If you make the Great Creator angry, he will do something to punish you. So maybe we should sort our thoughts and remind each otherof all bad things wc do either for people against people or even for personal gain. If we all stick together and work things out sensibly we can prevail. But if someone is being greedy and trying to get the best out of anything he can, some day he will suffer for his wrong doings. Well that's the way the stories used to go and we should all take that into consideration. Try to help one another instead of trying to rob each other. One of the best things that has ever happened to this community is to have another outlet to Highway 26 from the south side of the Shitike Creek, here in Warm Springs. When they decided to extend the Tcnino Road down that way to meet the highway near the new Museum was the wisest thing anyone could have done. In the past, any time there has been any kind of catastrophe here like a flood that washed out the bridge the south side was completely cut off from the real world. In the past there was some floods that washed away the bridges and roadways which crippled the whole community. Now with the extension of Highway 4, the Tenino Road will clearly prove its value to the community. Not only for emergencies but also for the safety of the community. It's been a wonder that there hasn't been any real accidents with the narrow street we have leading from the south side and with all the logging trucks, the great number of pedestrians that use the sidewalks. Because sometimes they really come bombing down the road. With the new Tenino Road the logging trucks can by-pass the busy area of the community. Also will relieve the congestion at the intersection near the Post Office, where there always seems to be a big bottle neck in the traffic during rush hour. This can also relieve the tension when ever there is something going on like a parade where there is only one street coming down the hill and some folks have to get from one side to the other. When there is a parade in session the whole street is closed to public use. There still needs to be another route from the West Hills area like meeting highway 26 just west of the school. The community shouldn't be tied up with just one entrance. This is a growing community and we should be ready to meet the increasing population and relieve conges tion on the roadways within our community. Ahh-Nah-Chi-Toon Toe Ness There was this boy who was a baseball freak, never thought of anything else. His dad asked the Geography Teacher how he got an "F" in his class. The teacher told him to tell the class something about Toronto. The boy rose, cleared his throat and said. "When you hit the ball you have Toronto first base." YIKES SS SS SS A Geography Teacher asked her class, "Can anyone tell me where Chicago is?" Billy jumped up and said, 'They're playing in Pittsburgh today." YIKES SS SS SS The pitcher wasn't having a good day. Finally the manager came out to the mound. "Sorry," he said. "But I'm sending you to the showers." "You can't, not now, I'm hitting my stride. Besides look who's on deck. I struck him out twice and walked him once." "I know," said the manager, "but this is still the same inning." YIKES Media manipulating general population, frustrations aired To the editor, I feel I am being manipulated by "the Media" and I am getting pretty tired of it. Ross Perot is being shoved in my face. He should sprout wings any minute now. Whenever anyone says anything negative about him, it is shrugged off. I have a few other cx omplcs where the "News" is manipu lated. When I was growing up in central Oregon in the 60s, wc only got two TV stations. One was ABC and the other NBC. I was lead to believe Martin Luther King was nothing but a troublemaker stirring up trouble wherever he went. It wasn't until these later years I learned he was a Non-Violence person and now un derstand why he is so highly regarded. The next example is in regards to Magic Johnson. When he tested positive for HIV, "the Media" handled that situation with dignity and sensitivity, but if that had been Dan Quay Ic, they would have ripped him to pieces and made it into a circus and made it an ugly situation. The next situation is about the Judge Thomas hearings. There was a lot of Pro-Anita Hill headlines. She brought up valid problem that is very real in America, but I watched the hearings until two AM on that last night I purposely watched all the news the next day to sec how it would be covered on the different stations including I leadline News and you know hardly anyone mentioned iL Imagine that. No press confer ences, nothing!!!!! Three women testifying in his behalf that had been harassed by other people and felt he was being falsely accused. But mxxKxxxK) headlines in his favor. The last example is the Presiden tial broadcast coverage. I watched it on CNN News station to form my own opinion, because I have cable. 1 then watched "die news". The only thing I heard mentioned about the broadcast was Ross Perot. Nothing was mentioned about President Bush. Ha, imagine that. I hope America has the opportu nity to form their own opinions be fore "the Media" warps and distorts them for them. I am so glad to be an American and not some robot that "the Media" can program as they want Thank you for letting me air my frustration with what I feel I sec happening.
