Miss Warm Springs selected
by Sandy Rangila
“Just be yourself” was the
th e m e o f T ru d e e A nne
Clements’ modern talent skit at
the Miss W arm Springs
pageant May 1. The 19 year-old
was selected Miss W arm
Springs 1981 that evening at
the Agency Longhouse. She is
the daughter of Anna and
Rudy Clements.
“Often people find it difficult
to try to be themselves due to
peer pressures or because they
can’t really find themselves,”
she said. “I think each person is
different and they have their
own talents and skills within
themselves.”
Trudee said she would like to
see each person bring their own
particular talents to their top
potential. “I hope my skit
expressed this idea,” she said in
a later interview.

Miss Warm Springs, presented
her with the beaded crown.

More jury trials being requested
To accomodate the recent
increased-number of requests
for jury trials Tribal Court has
found it necessary to schedule
as many as three or four trials
in one week.
As a result, the court has had
to utilize ju ry m em bers’
services at a faster rate then
originally anticipated. The
court appreciates the jurors’
acceptance of this responsib
ility and privilege in serving the
community.
The court is responsible for
notifying ju ro is, witnesses,
plaintiffs, and defendants at
least 20 days prior to the trial
date. They will attempt to
notify jurors 5 days before a
trial has been cancelled or
postponed. The Prosecutor
and Legal Aide will notify
plaintiffs and their witnesses
and defendants and their
witnesses, respectively, of any
changes.
In 1980 the Warm Springs
Tribal Court prepared a list of
150 eligible jury members to be
approved by Tribal Council for
jury duty in 1981. Following
Council’s approval the court
started subpoenaing those
people selected to serve as
jurors for 1981.
The Tribal court adheres to a
7 2 -h o u r n o tic e w h ereb y
p la in tif f s , d e fe n d a n ts ,
prosecution and Legal Aides
must formally apply for a
“Motion to Postpone” 72 hours
prior to the trial date.
There will be times when the
presiding judge will grant an
emergency postponement of a
trial within the 72-hour period.
Consequently, this does not
allow for the court to have
adequate time to notify the
interested parties, but it is
necessary in emergency cases.
Tribal Court will be closed to
b u sin ess every T h u rsd a y
afternoon. Hearings may be
scheduled at this time, but fines
due on those days can be paid*
at the police department.
Title IV committee seeks parents to serve
Elections for new officers
and new parent committee
members for Title IV Part A
has been postponed until the
committee meets in August.
Fabian Sutterlee, chairman of
the parent committee, said the
reason for the elections being
delayed is that there was not a
quorum at the May 5 meeting.
The Title IV, P a rt A
committee has been active in
sponsoring many programs
and assisting in programs for
Indian students. The summer
school held here in Warm
Springs has been one of their
projects and will be held again
this year.
They have paid for tutors to
aid students needing help with
th e ir h o m e w o rk . T he

Graduation Dinner are events
which this group assisted in
putting on.
Chairman Sutterlee said the
committee is looking for
parents willing to put in time at
committee meetings and seek
community input to serve on
the parent committee. The
meetings are held once a month
on the first Tuesday and are
open to the public.
