PAGE 4 JUNE 2, 1978 Organizations in Conflict The Western States Rodeo Association and the Oregon In dian Cowboy Association don’t see things eye to eye. WSIRA being the influential organiza tion in the area claims that the OICA is not a recognized organ ization. Any member of the WSIRA who competes in a OICA, or any other open all Indian rodeo — their points will not be accepted toward the final standings with the WSIRA at the end of the season, and could cost the contestant to loose out on going to the National Finals. At the recently held Tygh Valley All Indian Rodeo on May 21-22, there was a ruling set and accepted by the 11 member board of directors for the WSIRA to fine anyone of it’s members who compete in open shows. At this point this ruling has only been accepted by the board of directors. At the WSIRA sanc tioned rodeo to be held in White Swan, Wa., this issue will be presented to the membership for final approval or to abolish the rule altogether. At Tygh Valley, when this rule was agreed upon by the board of directors there were many objections among the contestants regarding this rule. Notices will be sent out to all members for them to con sider the issue for the final decision to be made at White Swan. The permit system is in effect with the WSIRA. A con testant is eligible to work two shows under a permit and one local show before he is required to obtain a membership card. Editors note: If this rule is accepted and in effect, this would be a violation of one’s constitutional rights for the denial of an individual to com pete in whatever, whenever and wherever one chooses.

From The Tribal Education Committee I would like to take this opportunity to express our ap preciation to all the hard-work ing people that made our second ¿nnual Education Banquet a success. I believe this large display of people coming to gether emphasizes the high priority education really is in our community. Once again, congratulations to our parents for their hard work and sacrifice they have given in putting their children through* school. Also, congratu lations to you students for your accomplishments in education. May you continue to seek education experiences through our universities, colleges, com munity colleges, vocational edu cation institutes, and local edu cation classes. Education is a never-ending process — find something you want and go for it. Michael R. Clements, Chairman Tribal Education Committee Tribal Court Notes Some Changes The Tribal Court would like to inform the public as to their set-up as it currently exists. There have been some changes made regarding the judges. All incoming calls for the Chief Judge will go through the Court Administrator, Norma Smith, and through the Juvenile Secre tary, Donna Foster, for the Juvenile Judge. Also, the judges may be seen by appointment only, and they will not be con ducting any pre-trial conferenc es or counseling. In regard to the postpone ment of trials, the individuals must notify the Court 72 hours in advance of the hearing and it must be approved by the judge. No one else is authorized to grant postponements. These will be only for valid reasons. If someone would like to request a change of judge, the request has to be submitted to the Tribal Court five days in advance of the court hearing. That means five working days. Unless there is a valid reason, everyone will be going before the presiding judge for that court day. To all persons who are issued a citation, subpoena, summons, or Notice of Action, if you do not appear at the speci fied time a warrant will be issued immediately for Con tempt of Court, upon your arrest for Contempt of Court, you may bail out only by posting $180 cash. There will be no bonding on Contempt of Court. Also, when a person is ar rested on a warrant after 10 a.m. he or she will go to Court on the following day. Those indivi duals will be entitled to bail or bond, though. Anyone wishing a Restrain ing Order to be issued against someone must sign a complaint before the Judge will consider issuing the order. Persons wishing to file a complaint against their spouse for Failure to Support Depend ent Persons have'to wait until the spouse is two months in ar rears with their support or has not supported the family for two months, as the case may be.
