4 July 17, 1997 Warm Springs, Oregon Spilyay Tymoo E Coosh EEWA: 77ie way is This time of the year the traf fic is real heavy with people going on vacations and family outings or just out for u drive in the nice weather. Traffic brings to mind some of the most foolish spending of the tax payers money on highway road work. A couple of months ago it was a pain in the neck to go to Redmond, Or., because of the delay in traffic for road construction. At first it appeared they were going to make the highway into a four lane highway between Madras and Redmond. They had all that construction equipment and a work force where it did appear that they were going to build a four lane freeway from Madras to Redmond. If that was going to happen than the wart would have been worth it. With all that heavy equipment and work force must have coasted thousands and thousands of tax dollars and to think of it, like money down the drain, because after all that work on the highway it didn't improve travel conditions at all. AH they did was build up . . , , ' . , , i i , , , the shoulders to widen the two lanes that were already there and with all that work the traffic is still a mess here in Central Oregon, What they should have done is start either in Madras or Redmond and make a four lane highway even if it would have been . , . ., , . J . r. ., for about four or five miles this year and five miles next year, eventually they would have a freeway from Madras to Redmond, Just because all the legislators live in the Metropolitan area the everyday traffic in Central Oregon don't hamper their everyday living, they pay no attention to the traffic problem here in Central Uregon. 1 he trattic is on a rapid increase around nere and mere is nothing being done to ease the situation.. Yep! a few years ago Oregon boasted of be i ng the first state to have a boarder to boarder freeway. That was nice and now we need another boarder to boarder freeway on highway 97, and a freeway from Portland on highway 26 to connect Central Oregon with the Metro area. At the present time we could use a freeway from the top of the grade just west of Warm Springs to Bend, Or. On week-ends the traffic is real Iy heavy coming out of Portland, to the Central Oregon area. At one time the traffic used to be heavy just on the opening of fishing season and opening of hunting season. At that time the traffic used to be bumper to bumper, but now days its that way on any week-end all year long. In the winter season they are heading to the ski areas around Central Oregon, or just to be out having fun in the snow. In the warmer seasons the population is on tne roaaway ror camping, risning and otner recreation and family events. There are some motorists who don't have any respect for the other travelers and they take their good old time holding up traffic. There are passing lanes here and there but when these people come to the passing lanes they speed up where no one can pass them and at the end of the passing lane they slow down again holding up the traffic. This causes people to take chances to pass and makes traveling more dangerous of fear for a head on collision from the impatient motorist. It's usually the innocent who suffer the most from the impatient traveler. The population here in Central Oregon is in a big increase as all the towns are growing faster than anyone realizes which for certain makes the highways more crowded. It's only natural that the population is on an up-swing. where they are moving to the country. A person can really notice this from the construction in the Bend and Redmond area, Well, instead of crabbing about the traffic situation I should write the local representative about this situation, perhaps they might take some action the ease the situation.

Eventime my SS Help and support appreciated To the editor, I would like to take this time to express my appreciation to all involved with supporting our handgame tournament during the Pi-Ume-Sha weekend, especially the stick game committee who assisted in feeding lunch to all our visitors, both Friday and Sunday. Twelve individuals came and gave us thanks and really were grateful for our generosity. I have to admit, there was a time in the sign up that I couldn't believe that we would make the necessary funds to pay off all four places in our tournament. We made it and I had to be grateful for the tardiness of some teams signing up. I have the utmost respect and appreciation for our sponsors, The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, Warm Springs Forest Products Industries, Kah-Nee-Ta - - committee and the raffle tickets they were able to sell, All our funds are developed by V.f IS money, it s all done by committee efforts.

What anight! ! There we were, sitting at the back playground of the WS Presby terian Church. The canyon valley below with the Community Center and ball fields to the left and center of us with West Hills to the right, a smoke haze rises up from the valley, the smell of sulfur and burnt gun powder is everywhere. Everything that can burn, fly, ex plode and whistle is up in the air above the tree tops. To our left the main fireworks show begins to go up high in the sky. And finally behind it all a giant lightening cell slowly moves from northeast to southwest. The lightening comes with great white lines coming down to earth and sideways from black cloud to black cloud. What a fourth! It was great except during this wild time over to the far right I saw something. There parked next to the church house in the scrub brush and dry grass sits a pickup truck with six young people sitting inside and on the bed. Out from the truck comes bottle rockets hitting the dry grass. I run over to the area and ask the folks 5 S Happy 28th Anniversary George & Wilma Picard July 10, 1969. Wishing you many more!

Missing Teepee: Re moved from the Pi-Ume-Sha grounds some time after the celebration. Please call Louie Scott at 553 1969. a success to move their rig from the area. I hear some words that cannot be re peated and the truck leaves. What happens to the grey matter between the ears of some folks playing with fire in the tall dry grass? There are many words that can describe some one who is acting without all pistons firing. The bible word is FOOL. It means someone who will not listen to anyone' s wisdom or council. Their tools of understanding is to make everything look like they are the victims, no one understands, and only they know the truth. A fool, what do you do with a fool? What do you do with ten fools? What do you do with 1 00 fools? This is a question that needs to be asked by the wise people of Warm Springs. My thanks to one and all for a great Vacation Bible School. It topped out at 72 children. What a great time for Jesus as the Main Attraction. My great thanks to the Smith Memorial Presbyterian for their ninth year of coming to Warm Springs. Well, see you in church. Worship is at 10 a.m. Pastor Rick Ribeiro WS Presbyterian church (on the campus)
