Letters to the Editor

Approximately four weeks ago I submitted my application for consideration as a possible member on the Juniper Ridge Advisory Board. Last week on KTVZ Juniper Ridge was a featured news item and Oran Teater was interviewed as a "member" of the Advisory Board.

I just want to give a big shout out to the city for such a dynamic job of paving 14th street last Friday morning. Oh wait, I completely forgot, they abandoned the project for the weekend.

Damn- I can't stop world hunger, Darfur, corporate thieves, evil K Street lobbyists, but I can, with thousand of others, try to save a little bit of the world I call home.
The next time you step out your door don't look up - look down and start counting the number of butts lying around beautiful Central Oregon.

In the middle of May this year, a friend of mine was kind enough to post a response to C.T.

Letter of the Week

If you own or rent a house in Central Oregon you know what this week's letter writer is talking about. We put the phone book bombardment right up there with the Bulletin's Marketplace free classified in the pantheon of unwanted commercial litter.

Letter of the Week

Like John Lithgow's character in Footloose, this week's feature letter writer takes the hard line on public groovin'. Log on tsweekly.

I recently read your article on your opposition to the Second Amendment and wanting to have all those who have concealed permits disclosed and published.

Several years ago one of my family members was assaulted while attending an event out in rural Deschutes County.

I want to divorce my car. Really! I'm getting so tired of the traffic in Bend! You know what I mean - horn honking, bumper riding, finger flicking – basically city people who have moved here from wherever and taught their rude ways to their children.

This letter is an outcry.

The most foolish move Bend could make, being $20 million in debt, would be to rush the addition of 20 years of build-able residential land to the urban growth boundary (UGB) with no planning for infrastructure.
Infrastructure was completely ignored when the last addition was made to the UGB in the 1990s.
