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

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

A Geography Teacher asked her class, "Can anyone tell me where
Chicago is?"
Billy jumped up and said, 'They're playing in Pittsburgh today."

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.
Sincerely,
Darlene Foster
Brunoe to head east Thank yu!
