LETTERS Missing Heppner V TVvThe editor: Dear Friends: Scott, Ryan and I would like to thank all of you for making the past three years in Hep pner so happy and rewarding. We have made so many friends and have enjoyed being a part of the commun ity. We are in Bend now, trying to get settled in a new home and a new lifestyle. It takes some getting used to! The three of us wish things had worked out differently, so we could have rebuilt S & J Market, but I guess it was Accurate To the editor: During a 15-minute speech I delivered in The Dalles sub stantiating and condemning the intrusion of the Rajneesh onto the rights of other citi zens. I made the statement, "I see no reason why a corporate cult of red-clad kooks should be exempt from these state laws and allowed to run roughshod over the citizens of Antelope." I have been criticized by Rajneesh defenders for "name-calling." I feel the description was accurate: Corporate: Rajneesh Foun dation International is a re gistered 'for profit" corpora tion with 500 other locations in the U.S., Canada, Europe, India, New Zealand and Aus tralia tnat employs a quarter million people. Cult: Random House Dic tionary defines cult as (Da particular system of religious worship, (2) intense devotion to a person, ideal or thing (3) such a group or sect bound together by devotion. Red-clad: Rajneeshees wear the color red with pride to signify that they are fol lowers of Guru Bhagwun . Shree Rajneesh. They don't think it is derogatory so why should anyone else. Kook: Defined by Random Coastline This letter concerns one of Oregon's treasured resources, the Pacific Ocean Coastline. All know the havoc wreaked upon Southern California last winter. The Oregon Coastline suffered also but was not so well publicised. Present weather conditions cause some Oregon Coastline residents to wonder about another winter of equal fero city. The writer's 34 years of experience with the Central Oregon Coastline and its weather patterns gives him a "gut" feeling that all is not well. For example, the alder leaves are falling weeks be fore normal, the summer weather has been limited to just a few weeks of nice weather, interspersed with more than normal rain, and the birds have left unusually early . The summer of 1983 has been so unusual that the Ore gon Coastline has not had its normal time to "heal" the last winter's ravages. The sand carried away last winter has not come back in its usual pattern and the dune grass has not recovered so that the 01 EDITOR time to move on. We miss all of you very much and think of you often. You are all a big part of our lives and we will never forget you. I am still getting misty-eyed over the beautiful party you gave for us. That was one of the most touching times in my life. Thank you Heppner, Love, Scott, Jeannie and Ryan Adkisson P.S. Love to have company. 2332 N.W. Marken PL, Bend, Oregon 97701, 389-5698. description House Dictionary as "an un usual, peculiar of foolish per son." Obviously Rajneeshees are unusual and peculiar to that specific group and, in my opinion, they are foolish. What could be more foolish than Rajneeshees taking over the Antelope city gov v eminent, then voting to im pose over $1,000 per year in new taxes on the average Antelope resident in an effort to drive them out of their . homes? Of course informed people are unhappy with them. In 1859, John Stewart Mill wrote that personal free dom is deserved so long as we do not deprive others of theirs. It is foolish of the Rajneeshees to violate that code we live by and then accuse the very people they have harrassed of "religious bigotry. Religious beliefs have nothing to do with the current problems the Rajneesh have encountered. Oregonians would be happy to ' leave them alone if they stay within the law and leave others alone. My description was accu rate and I stand by it. (s) Larry ann Willis U.S. Congressional Candidate 2nd District Oregon Democratic National Committeewoman Rt. 2, Box 2574 Vale, OR 97918 (503) 472-2133 concern coming stormy season will, in effect, be "taking off" where last year's storms "left off." Continued onslaught of storm tides, heavy wind and rain could easily create as much or more erosion prob lems than the 1982-83 winter. All Oregon residents should be concerned. In particular, there should be some concern by the governmental agencies who claim responsibility for the Oregon shores. It would seem that the least these agencies could have done is formulate an "action plan" for the winter weather ero sion. At least an instruction campaign about proved methods of design and con struction of ocean front pro tective structures would have shown the agencies' willing ness to assist the Oregon people. All Oregon residents have a stake in the Oregon Coastline. These residents could create a positive effect upon the gov ernmental agencies by voicing their concern about the pro tection of this treasure; " (s) Lester E.Fultz.P.E. P.O.
