Love, Lil’ Ron and Dennis Pooh Bunny-The world is moving faster now; we’re on a changing course. But you have helped me deal with life; you’ve been a stable force. When I have had to follow new directions, you were there. When the world was hard on me, you always seemed to care. When nothing held together, made the slightest bit of sense. You have always helped restore my inner confidence. Everyone needs someone who’s reliable and true. Through the moments I’ve endured, I’m grateful there was you. Thank you for everything and these wonderful past five years. Love, Pooh Bear Happy Birthday to Max. Hope you have a special day! Love, Alice and Butch Happy Birthday to Calvin Hoover on Aug. 4.

Heather and Justin Community Helps Students Graduate The eighth-grade graduating class of Siletz witnessed strong community support during the recent moving-up ceremony and middle school dance. Thank you to all the parents, families, and community members who graciously gave your time. We couldn’t have done it without all of you working together as a team. Our youth celebrated in a drug- and alcohol-free atmosphere. The decorations and donations for the dance resulted in a beautifully decorated community center on Government Hill. The Hawaiian theme was evident: palm trees, beach balls, limbo, and dance contests. Raffle tickets allowed everyone to choose a prize from the gift table. Flashing lights and heart-pounding, soul-vibrating music (Limp Bizkit, Shaggy, Tootsie Roll, etc.) were provided by Ultrasonic DJ Services, expertly done by Brian and Justin! Dancers enjoyed the interaction when each DJ joined them on the floor. The decision to make this a combination sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-grade dance and include other Siletz students as guests turned into a roaring success. Why? Volunteers. The collaboration of community, parents, and adults to decorate, donate time, and chaperone the party was a coordinator’s dream come true. At least 16 volunteer/chaperones attended, as well as our Siletz police chief. Food was served throughout the party, and videos and photos were taken to capture memories. Thanks to the following businesses and individuals who donated food and supplies: Chinook Winds Casino, Industrial Welding Supplies, Franz Bread Outlet, Noel’s Market, Pepsi-Cola Bottling Co., Siletz Valley Partnership, The Road House, Little Chief Restaurant, the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, Siletz Tribal Maintenance Department, Siletz Tobacco Prevention & Education Program, Lisa Brown, Kitti Hostler, Natasha Kavanaugh, Kelley Ellis, Lynn Whitlow, and Teri Watson. The Siletz Valley Partnership extends sincere thanks to everyone involved in making these special events possible. We applaud all the hard work and dedication on behalf of the eighth-grade class of 2001. Happy Birthday to the greatest daddy in the world on Aug. 23! Love, Little Ron Butler A fabulous birthday greeting to David Paul, who turns 5 on Aug. 11. Happy Birthday, David. Tons of love, Auntie Wendi, Uncle Happy Birthday, Cassie! Love, Mom and Dad Tim blankets you gave Pam and Paul, along with the honorable eagle feathers for each of the children. A huge thank you to everyone who donated money in honor of our mother to the elders group. Mom would just be thrilled! Thank you to Tribal Police Chief Norm Counts and Tribal Police Officer Kenneth Real for the memorable procession to Eureka Cemetery. I know Mom was looking down smiling at that. We would also like to thank Head Start staff Robin, Lori, Vella, Nancy, Tracey, and DeAnn for the very special library books that were donated to the Siletz Library in memory of “Grandma Madge.” What a wonderful gift! Thank you to all the family, employees, and friends who sent all the beautiful flowers, cards, and plants. A deep appreciation and gratitude to Wendi Schamp, Kelley Ellis, Elizabeth John, and Alison Noble for organizing and setting up the potluck! It was delicious. Guy, Grandma, Uncle Clark, and Auntie Deb We would like to thank David and Ryan Chamberlin and Stephanie Morrow for working so hard designing, perfecting, and adding the special touches to the wonderful posters and announcements. We would also like to thank St. Mary’s Catholic Church for the delightful dinner they provided for us after the rosary service. Gladys Bolton, you have no idea how you have touched each and every one of us. Your kindness and heartfelt friendship showed through to the end. Thank you for being there for our mother. We love you! Our mother was a wonderful lady who left an abundant amount of wonderful memories for many people. We had no idea just how many until the day of her passing. Thank you all! If we have left anyone out, it was not done intentionally. We were blessed to be touched by so many of you wonderful friends, family, and employees. We will miss our mother dearly! God Bless.
