Warm Springs, Orixion Spilyay Tymoo E Coosh EEWA: The way it is 4 January 18, 1996 Speed limit 55 or 75? There is a lot of controversy over the speed limit today since there was a bill passed to raise the speed limits across the country. Well no matter what the law says there will always be those who travel 85 mph, especially on the freeways. Oregon's speed laws differ, de pending on where you are driving and the type of vehicle you are driving. The Oregon law says, "If you drive at a speed that is unsafe for existing conditions in any area, you may be given a ticket for violat ing the basic rule. The basic rule says you must drive at a speed that is reasonable and prudent at all times. The basic rule applies on all streets and highways. To obey the basic rule, you need to think about the other traffic, the surface and width of the road, dangers at intersections, weather, visibility and any other conditions that could effect safety and your driving speed. You can violate the basic rule even though you are driving slower than a designated speed or posted speed if a lower speed is needed for safety. The federal maximum speed limit is 55 mph. This limit applies on the urban interstate and in other rural locations except on the rural interstate I 84 and 1-5. On the rural interstate, the limit is 65 miles per hour unless a sign is posted for a lower speed. At all indications Oregon will stick with the 55 mph unless otherwise posted along the highways where the basic rule applies. So if a person drives at 60 or 65 and has his vehicle at a controllable state and obeys all the basic rule conditions he is not liable for a speeding ticket. But if he drives 60 or 65 mph recklessly and not watching other traffic he is in violation of the basic rule. Around here those big 1 8 wheeler rigs are abig problem and have caused many car accidents in the past. They travel a such high rate of speed and get away with it here on Highway 26. When an Indian drives to Madras he sure is watched and is stopped for any excuse there is. And now that the Hispanics are coming into the area they are a big target for the cops around here in Central Oregon. At diversity meetings I've heard cops say they don't really know who is driving a vehicle when they stop them and claim that they are not stopping a car because it is a Native American or a Hispanic. You drive along with someone who has a scanner you can hear the cops in town, "Here comes a car load of Native Americans, better keep an eye on that car. It's a ...so and ..so kind of car. Or if a car load of Hispanics are on the road they keep an eye out for them. Yep! The only way they can be truthful is they don't know who the Native American is or who the Hispanic is but yet they know its a minority car. What we need is a freeway from the top of the grade west of Warm Springs clear through Bend, this would include Madras and Redmond. The traffic sure has improved since they put a freeway between Redmond and Bend. Just think what the traffic would be like if they didn't improve that stretch of road.. The speed signs should be increased between Bend and Burns because there isn't anything there at all and a driver is able to keep his car under control at all times with out hampering other motorists. The traffic sure gets heavy from Portland on highway 26, and is getting worse all the time. Especially on holidays when people go out for weekend trips . By the year 2010 we will really need freeways around here and that's not very long way off. Well in the mean time we will just have to sit back and watch what goes on especially since the Republican Party has taken control of the reigns of the country. AHH-NAH-CHI-TOO ! ! !

"He treats mine SS Sincere apologies given To the editor, There are a lot of things that I am sorry for doing last year. And I sup pose, to be very honest with myself and others, I must admit those things publicly if I ever expect myself to believe that I really am sorry for doing these things. I'm sorry that I haven't stood by my mother's side when she needed somebody there for her; she was al ways there for me when I had trouble and I'm just glad that, for once, I was able to be there for her. I promise to be a more understanding and human son. I'm sorry that I haven't tried to understand my wife's feelings. It's hard for me to see things from an other person's eyes, because I'm new Addiction is form of To the editor, Hello from Pastor Rick. Wow. The middle of January already. Hey, I was listening to this great tape the other day. It said that any addiction, any addiction was a terminal disease. That means if you don't stop using and abusing you will DIE. Yet addic tion is one of the few terminal dis eases that has a path to healing. You will die yet you will live. It sounds a little like the Bible. What is the path to life?? The path from addiction is a team effort of you and your coun selor, you and your pastor, you and your support group, you and you, you and your God. Some miracles are just plain hard work. The team is here in Warm Springs. Come get a miracle and discover life. I have been pastor of the Warm Make, keep your resolutions To the Editor, Hello you all who read the Spilyay Tymoo from the Indian Reservation in Warm Springs. I hope you all had a wonderful new year. . ' . ' Mine was OK way down this way in the Duck City, Eugene, Oregon. It's that time of the year to make resol utions for ourselves. We should also give many thanks for all the good that has happened to us in the year that has passed. We should all look at the positive side in our life. I know there were many DUIIs this past year in 1995, but you should all be thankful that you live through it and didn't have an alcohol related automobile accident. There may be many who are in jails locked up for something that has to do with alcohol but look at the positive side of it: You're not buried under the ground six feet or so. We should all make a resolutior for ourselves in our new year ol 1996. We, who are alive, should be very grateful that we live through the yeai of 1995. We can have our new year be good for us if we all make and have resolutions for ourselves. Hope our new year 1996 will be great for all you. Thank you.
