To the Editor:

Healthy Forest Legislation:

Along with then-visiting President Bush, my family and I were driven from Camp Sherman, by a wildfire known as the B&B Complex Fire.

I think that we should rename the fire the Senator Tom Daschle Memorial Wildfire. I am sure that the people in California could think of some other destructive fires that might be named for senators.

Yours truly,

Ray A. Babb

To the Editor:

Three Camp Fire members from Sisters High School -- Kimberly Wilson, Kristol Kolb and Gennifer King -- would like to thank Sisters Elementary School for giving us the opportunity to work with students on a community service project.

We would also like to thank Mr. Hewitt for allowing us to use his class time and his students to accomplish an amazing goal of service and lifting up those in need. Thanks to the students for their willingness to help and great attitudes about working together.

Thank you to the parents for volunteering to help build birdhouses and making sure their children had all of the materials needed. Thank you to the merchants who helped provide materials.
