Schralping the Butte

It is interesting that Bruce Miller saw fit to highlight and conclude his article with the following quote from Bill Friedman, "The disagreement comes about because some owners believe that somehow, magically, they ain't going to have to pay for it (the repairs)."
Unless by "some people" Friedman is referring to the Papes and by "magically" he is referring to their recent allegedly fraudulent activity at the Inn, which somehow I doubt, this attempted "spin" on Friedman's part has absolutely no basis in fact.

I am pleased to see that the recent Climate Teach-Ins drew so much attention. One question: Who is talking about population growth as a driver of climate change? My guess is that it's still too volatile a topic for anyone - politicians, newspapers, even students - to talk about.

Has anyone tried the restaurant at the Bend Airport? 3456 Cafe on Powell Butte Hwy.

Fabulous breakfasts with regular menu and some "game" additions. Very
good service and certainly the "extras" are from a fine dining area.
The syrup for the Belgian waffle for breakfast was heated! Ramekins of
butter and real napkins.

Dear Citizens of Oregon,

I am in the fifth grade at Northeast Elementary in Kearney, Nebraska. I
have adopted your state as a class project to research. I will be doing
a report and other projects. Then on May 3rd my class is having a
"States Fair." I will be displaying my report and any other information
or materials I receive about your state. I am hopeful that some of your
readers will be able to help me with my project. I was able to research
your city and newspaper on the Internet and I'm excited to learn more
about your state.
  

Not since the beginning of World War II has there been such a feeling
of uncertainty as there is at the present time among the general public
in this country. Most people don't say much, but within most lives is a
strong feeling that all is not well. To know what to do about it leaves
most people with a feeling of helplessness because as individuals we
can't really do much to change the course of history for this nation,
as it rests in the leadership. Leadership seems to be lacking while
power by some seems to be shooting off in hundreds of directions. We
have lived through trial and tribulation before, but this time it is
different, and I think a bit more complex.
