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

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

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.
