PAGE 4 October 15, 1993 Warm Springs, Oregon SpilyayTymoo Editorial E Coosh EEWA: (The way it is) Letters to the Editor "Spifyay Spool 1 I Mm f . One day as I drove down 1-5, freeway from Portland to Salem, and was a little worried of being pulled over for traveling 65mph, but found myself being left behind as if I was standing still by the rest of the traffic. Even those big rigs went buzzing right past me and I began to wonder why everyone was in such a hurry. Well, it dawned on me, Ah- Huh," it was the time of the year when the Legislative body passes all those laws at the state Capitol building in Salem. So I figured all Legislatures from all parts of the I state were zooming to Salem to pass the 55 MPH law thats only in effect in the rural arcas...it appears. I Some of the last legislation passed were sort oi stupid ana loonsn in a sense. Like the 55 mph speed law. All those people live in the area I where there are freeways and are not hampered witn tnc 55 mpn law. Out here in the rural areas where the roads arc narrow and arc getting more and more crowded, the 55 mph can be a pain on the Asphalt. It takes one person who travels at a slow rate of speed and holds up the traffic, and when he comes to a passing lane he speeds up to where the rest of the traffic can't get passed and when he comes to the end of the Ipassing zone he slows down again to cause another trail ic tie-up. Then they say there are many fatal accidents on the highways I because of speed. "You Bet Your Boots," It's because these guys who hold up traffic won't pull over to let traffic pass are the vcrmit's that I cause the speeding. Cars try to get around these guys and the line is too long to get passed when he meets an on coming vehicle, and "El ISmacko, cars smash into one another head-on, because people don t Isee what really happens in the rural areas. Once in a while you see a state cop have a person stopped on 1-5, 1 Ifigure it s the only one he could catch up to. Another stupid law passed as the triple trailer ngs were allowed to travel on the highways. Like ; said before, things like this don't bother people in the metropolitan area where there are all the freeways and don t have to put up with tiese big rigs holding up traffic. Again there are things that are in reverse, like the big rigs who tost run down the passenger vehicles. Isn t it a law that they are supposed to travel at a safe speed. There are some who pass almost :very car on the highway and cause lot of uneasiness among tnc tegular motorists. Just recently a big rig ran smack into the hind end )f a passenger car in Central Oregon area killing two women because lit couldn t stop of highway repairs. Maybe if the cops would watch the big ngs that go shooting through Ithis area endangering the public they might not be harassed by the public of picking on the Hispanics or Native Americans and other unonty groups. Another thing is the way the state goes at improving the highways, ley look just at the present and not down the road few years. Take the improvement on the highway in Warm Springs, by the time they complete this it will be time to imd a way to handle the trait ic load once again. They should look down the road to the year 2030 or so and make; reparation for that time, like a four-lane freevay from tnc top or the ;rade west of warm Springs clear past Bend on highway 26 and 97, even if it would cost a juicy sum of money, but then they wouldn't have ko be doing studies for improvements all along year after year...just good common sense. AHH-NAH-CHI-TOON!!! Land Marks destroyed It's sad to see some of the old land marks being destroyed around here on the campus area. Those old trees being cut down is like killing Warm Spnngs. If they keep this up this won t seem like the Ole Warm Springs most people know. Yep! It just isn t Warm Springs without those old land marks. I ll bet if the people of Warm Springs would have known those trees were to be cut down there would nave Deen some strong opposition. iome feel things like this should have been mentioned before hand on what 's to take place. Just because someone comes in who doesn t know the value of those land marks to many people here, comes along and cut those trees down with out any feelings should be ran out of town feathered. In the olden day's those trees have been there and have been there for generations.
