Letters to the Editor

I go through (Northwest Crossing) twice a day and also walk it at least twice a day since I work near the high school. To call it a "Cottage Neighborhood" goes way outside the imagination.

Letter of the Week

This week's letter of the week comes in a response to our recent story about the proliferation of concealed handgun permits and the sheriff's refusal to release the identity of permit holders. Thanks for the letter, R.

We missed the column that Scoop had in the paper. We come to Sunriver several times per year and have not seen his articles lately.

I'm writing in response to the recent 'Boot' we received for the 'welfare for builders' proposal, as you describe it. You raise some legitimate concerns, which I will attempt to address below.

Kudos to those responsible for the great music line up in Central Oregon this year. For those of us who love to dance it's been hot, but confusing.

Letter of the Week 
This week's feature letter is short and sweet. Thanks for the editorial haiku, Mickey.

For several years now, I have kept my mouth shut as someone with the same name as myself has periodically written letters to both The Source and The Bulletin about Intellegent Design. As a person who works in the medical field and considers himself a man of science, the whole theory of Intelligent Design frustrates and annoys me.

Attention all you newbies to Bend!! Especially the pop tart, 20-something babes who think it's so cute to let their dogs run free on the First Street Rapids River Trail while hanging onto UNATTACHED leashes. Hint: the leash attaches to your dog's collar.

Normally I would consider responding to the content of this "newspaper" as beneath me, because it would only serve to lend legitimacy to the unvarnished bias, circular logic, shrillness, ideological hegemony and pure hatred spewed weekly by this rag.
However, I had to make an exception for your 'Armed in Oregon' diatribe, which was only exceptional for being the most pathetic and unimaginative case for gun control I've ever read.

I wrote the original LOTW regarding the godvertising banners, and am thrilled that it has opened a dialogue.
LC, you raise an interesting point: you drive to our neighborhood from Alfalfa.
