PAGE 2 - JUNE, 1985, SILETZ, OREGON I Letters To The Editor I would personally like to thank all those people who helped with the Memorial Day dinner. Although we did not have the help we did last year, I feel the dinner was a success. Thank you, those who cooked the turkeys and hams, and a BIG thank you for those who helped in the kitchen. I want to especially thank Douglas Brown for donating the beautiful cross which was presented on behalf of the Siletz JOM P a re n t Com m ittee. Also special thanks to Jennifer Metcalf and Sunny Me Alpine for the hard work they did. I appreciated everyone that was so willing to help. Again, thank you. Janice Metcalf Chairman, Siletz J.O.M. Parent Committee To the Editor: I missed the General Coun cil meeting May 4th, so what I was going to say I’ll say in this letter. I don’t think it’s right that the tribal lawyer has so much input in everything. Before, I brought this con cern to the Council a t a General Council meeting, but got nowhere. I want the tribal members to see how much he is taking the tribe for. He has no business what soever, to do w ith the Adminstration. He is only supposed to give the tribe legal advice, not running it. The Council should of hired him fo r th e G e n e ra l Manager’s position. I voted for the Council to be paid $5.00 an hour for Council business, not to travel all over the United States and pay part of the la w y e r ’s fee . T rib a l members should have say so how the timber money is spent. It’s not just the Coun cil’s timber money. I had heard so much criticism when my Dad was on the Council and all the bad decisions that were made, but at least my Dad stood up for what he believ ed. He made enemies when he stood up for truth. The ones that talked about him behind his back, a couple are on the Council now, I have one thing to say, “You are not doing a good job either, and I hope people will see you for what you are .” Joella Kline Siletz, OR. Dear Editor: I would like to take this time to thank everyone who participated in the prepara tion of the memorial service and dinner for our mother (Clara L. Palomino).
