Improved summer weather and
drying conditions in our forests and
rangeland in the Pacific Norhtwrst
arr an indication that we will soon be
into our annual summer fire season
Many Pacific Northwest residents
and visitors will be seeking
recreation and will be working in the
forests, rangrlands rural areas, and
backyards of our two states
Me wish to remind everyone that
we all have the responsibility of
exercising special caution during
the months ahead to help reduce the
threat of wildfire One careless act
can result in rxpm sive fire control
costs and devastation to our natural
resources that may last for years
Our six agencies, responsible for
the protection of forests and rangr
lands in Oregon and Mashington. are
again working with local fire prr
vrntion cooperatives, many city and
rural fire departments, and other
fire agencies to alert the public to
the increased fire danger
Our
campaign, called "F ire Awareness
Tim e" begins July I and will extend
through the summer and into laibnr

To the Kditor
Me live on a dead end street, and
there is no reason to drive fast up or
down, especially in summer
l-ast Friday someone ran over our
puppy and didn t slop to tell us what
had happened This hurt us very
much
Our neighbor had to come and tell
us and it upset her a great deal but
we were so glad she did
.summer is here now and more
than ever we all need to drive more
carefully M r thank God it wasn't a

M r recognur the need of the police
force to respond to an emergency as
quickly as possible, but we also
know they are responsible for the
well being of others while respond
ing to an emergency
The day of the lone Bank Robbery
we believe the high rate of speed the
officers used while coming through
Lexington was out of line
Officer Cowet!'* letter mentioned
that police officer* "are trained
professionals who know how to
handle a patrol vehicle at high rates
of speed "
Regardless of their
training, we question whether they
can safely operate a vehicle in town
at this speed
