Dear Tribal members: As an election has come along, I’d like to suggest a few things. That we elect a sub-council similar to our committees and to keep our council from being a monarchy. A minimum term limit like three terms, then that person cannot run for two years. Also anyone voted out cannot run for one year. We have so much to be thankful for. How about medical for spouses. If our spouse gets sick or hurt, a Tribal family can go broke and homeless. Bring back Chinook Jargon classes as it’s the easiest to learn. Tribal hunts for elder meat and rights to col lect road kills. One-time emergency loan or gifts paid off by per capita payments. Job training without GED, jobs without driver’s licenses, GED or diplomas. A committee for employment or business building. We have so much to be thankful for. I just think we can do even more with all our input. Thanks for listening. Phil Rilatos, Jr. ■mam num—mu n—iwiaari To the editor: Please help! I was in a domestic vio lence situation and was able to escape but had to leave all of my belongings behind. Now I have nothing! I am in need of two small beds or bunk beds, washer and dryer, bedding, crib and baby clothes. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Please call 503-990-6440. Jamie Butler La Verne Butler Calling all Tribal members: Your vote is wanted at the 2011 Tribal Council elections: I am asking for your vote. Sincerely, Frank Aspria (DePoe) .J— Harry Rinker appraises treasures at Chinook Winds during Lincoln City’s annual Antique Week celebration Harry Rinker, formerly HGTV’s Collector Inspector, will lecture and hold verbal appraisal clinics at Chinook Winds Casino Resort’s Appraise-A-Thon on Feb. 12 from noon to 5 p.m. in the con vention center. There is no admission fee to watch the appraise-a-thon and all ages are welcome. Rinker now is host of a nationwide syndicated radio talk show called Wat- cha Got? In Oregon, Watcha Got? can be heard in Lincoln City, Newport, Eugene, Baker City and LaGrande on various AM stations. Having items appraised can help with estate planning or deciding whether to keep or sell an heirloom. Rinker will professionally appraise up to three items at a cost of $10 for one item or $25 for three items. This year, 50 percent of the proceeds from the appraise-a-thon will go to Relay For Life, an American Cancer Society fund-raiser. Space is filling up fast. To get your name on the list, please call Linda Wag ner at 541-996-2323 or 888-244-6665, ext. 2323. The show is just part of Lincoln City’s Antique Week, which runs from Feb. 11-21. Area antique stores will have sales and special events and Rinker will make other local appearances.

Comedy on the Coast features magic along with laughs Brad Bonar Tickets are on sale for Comedy on the Coast at Chinook Winds on Feb. 18-19, which presents a hilarious show with Brad Bonar, Joe Nipote and Marc Yaffe. Bonar is a double threat. One of the most talented close-up magicians in the country, he also is a gifted and funny stand-up comedian. Having four children means his wealth of material springs from his observations of family life. Bonar’s comedy is universal in its ap peal and the magic displayed in his show has made him a crowd favorite at every event he attends. In the first minute of his act, you will stare at him like a deer in headlights out of sheer amazement. Then just as fast he turns it around and you’re laughing so hard your face hurts.
