nn't.. . , x OfnyiJy ofuuilS i nanK you Tor acceptance frniTORM A headline in the Bend Bulllitcn read, "Semi Rams Pickup, Three killed." A very bad accident caused by a missing stop sign . Yep! One of the main factors was a stop sign that was missing at a busy intersection of the Powell Butte highway east of Bend. As the pickup with the three occu lts the highway it was struck y a freight truck killing all three n the pickup. Goes to show what can happen from stupid careless acts by prank sters, destroying a stop sign along a busy highway. Everything was still under investigation at press time. The sign situation is not new to this area as there are always signs pushed over on our busy high ways and busy roads. We are just lucky no one has been in an accident because of missing signs. If you drive along our roadways you will notice all of the signs have been tampered with. Some knocked down or they are left leaning. Why do people do things like this, maybe it makes them feel like tough guys or something. Each time the roads department puts up a sign they tough guys are right there trying to push down the signs. Those signs are ment for something, a purpose for everyone to use as direction or condition of the country etc. Yep! it takes all kinds of dumbos to do things like this. Another bad thing is the mile markers used as targets along the roadways. While shooting at them they don't realize that some innocent person could be coming around the turn just when a person is shooting at one of those mile markers. Could be a bad situation if someone was shot while driving down the roadway...just plain stupid. Yep! We all have occasions to venture into the country from time to time and it would be bad to get shot from some target shooter. Yep! It would be bad. Well, back to the road signs, those cost departments lots of bucks to place them along the roadways and they are for your connivance and not to be knocked over. Probably if you made one of those guys write, "I knocked down a stop sign," 500 times, he 'd probably go home and think, Tm gonna get even on them, I'm gonna write, "I never knocked down stop signs," 500 times. Could be just that stupid. To the Editor, We would like to express our ap- Ivcciation to the community for the ove and acceptance shown us for the more than thirty years we lived there. Being a part of the community life has been a wonderful and fulfilling experience for our whole family. Now that we have retired and moved to Madras, we reflect on the good times and hard times that drew our lives together in such a special friendship and realize how we have been blessed by living there. We thank you for all the memories. I would like to introduce Reuben Kinney, the new pastor of the Baptist Church. He is Creek Indian from Oklahoma and comes with a rich experience of family and culture in volved in Christian ministry. I'm sure you will receive him the spirit of brotherhood and respect. He has much to contribute to the commu nity. I'm sure you will want to get acquainted and welcome him. Since we are living close by, we hope we will be able to see you occasionally and catch up on the lat est news, or maybe we can stop by and enjoy some luckamene and fry bread. Sending our love, Allen and Juanita Elston Don't let anaer control vour life; deal with It appropriately To the Editor: Hello, from Pastor Rick, Well, it is the month of March. The doorway to Spring...Spring time; time to plant a garden, play some softball, start to get ready for fire season. Thank the Lord! ! ! Thank the Lord February is gone. February ends not just the season of winter but the season of Anger. Cabin fever reaches the peak of its temperature in February. As I wander through different areas and departments of the Tribes, I hear a common story of who hit who; or who is mad at who; or who left who; Who' boy, what power this anger must have to control life. The blindness of anger, the power of anger; a power that is not just against someone else but also against themselves. Have you been near someone who is angry at themselves? I tell you if you walk away with your shirt on and both ears you had a good Keep smiling Shelby! You're at the top! ( of being over the hill. .) Happy 30th on March 13 All our love, your sis, Sarafi & nephews Jo & Jr. talk. So what to do about anger... Well, anger is a part of being human. So you cannot turn it off. You deal with it. From Ephesians 4:26 "If you are angry, don't sin by nursing your grudge. Don't let the sun go down with you still angry get over it quickly; for when you are angry you give a mighty foothold to the devil." Now, this is not saying that you take your anger and deal with it by pounding the guy who made you angry. That will cause the foothold to be in both lives. YOU TALK TO THE CREATOR, you pray about your anger and seek the path that the Lord would give to you to channel your anger; to cause this power in your life to be used for good and not for the seed of evil and or future evil.

I'm chilled to the bone I look around and find I stand alone. People are around, but no one seems to care. My life's mistakes, I must bare. I stand alone, looking around. This I see. Drugs are killing a world surrounding me. My life is wrong, doing things I dread. Alcohol has taken control. Death lies ahead. I stand alone. I start to cry. "Lord, please help me. I'm afraid to die." All of a sudden, a bright light shines through. The clouds are gone and the sky is blue. I stood alone, hiding the pain I felt inside. The pain's going away. I'm starting to feel pride. People all around, but can I go the right way? I'll try to conquer my addiction a little each day. This Is what I feel. What more can I say? Grandfather, Great Spirit, will show me the way. I'm coming home Mom. I love you Ma, and you too, Pops. For all the people I have hurt or have harmed, I'm sorry.

This place is one of the craziest places in the whole country in the way the streets are laid out. It seem there are no real planned street system around here. We need streets connecting one area to the other. There are no streets that intersect like a large city. Seems like a street is put anyplace where someone wants it to go. We have isolated areas that need to be connected to other areas for faster excess. Take the Tenino road or highway 4 as it is referred to, if there were a serious accident where a person need to save time in getting to see a doctor, it would save a whole lot of time if there were a street connecting the Tenino Appartments roadway for a faster route to the clinic. Also a connection street from the Greeley Heights area to the Trailer parte and from there to the Kot-Num road. It takes time and gas for many people who don't have the extra bucks to buy the gas all the time. You never know, something like this could save a life, could be yours. Also we should have an access road connecting the highway 26 west of the school grounds. Sometimes there are floods, fires or something extra roads would be a great help. Yep! we could use a good street system. AA AH-NAHH-CHI-TOON! ! !
