Rivero cited for reckless driving Early Saturday morning Ray Rivero, Warm , Springs Fire and Safety Officer, was cited for reckless driving following an accident involving a fire department vehicle on highway 26. At 12:45 a.m. State Trooper Dick Gates was running radar when the Fire and Safety Blazer was clocked at a speed of 79 miles per hour at milepost 113 on Highway 26. Trooper Gates followed to stop and ticket the driver of the vehicle, according to the Oregon State Police report. At the top of the Warm Springs grade the Balzer hit the right shoulder of the highway and went into the right bank at which time the Blazer then rolled onto the road, according to State Police Sgt. Larry Atkins. Atkins said by the time Gates pulled up to the scene of the one-car accident, the driver of the Blazer was out walking around. Gates then cited the driver, Ray R ivero, for reckless driving. Rivero was then transported to his home by the Warm Springs Police who had arrived at the scene shortly after the accident. The Blazer was towed to Madras and according to Delford Johnson, tribal vehicle pool manager, although it was rolled it will be repaired and returned to service. Rivero has been cited to appear in Madras District Court in October. Julie Sam reported in fair condition Julie Sam, 21, of Warm Springs, who was injured September 9 in an incident at the Palmain Parlor in Madras, is listed in fair condition at St. Charles Medical Center in Bend. She has remained in a semi- comatose state in the intensive care unit and, according to a family spokesperson, has been on a life-support system since she was adm itted to the hospital. She was taken off the system September 27. Also, according to the spokesperson, doctors have reported that Sam has suffered brain damage as well as num erous contusions and lacerations and may remain in an unconscious state for an unknown length of time. Sam was also six months pregnant at the time of the accident and she miscarried the baby. A funeral was held for the baby on September 11. Sam allegedly left the Palmain Parlor, and ran into the street and grabbed the hair of Yvonne Tatoosh, 20, of W arm S p rin g s. T a to o sh reportedly proceeded west on the old Culver Highway with Sam still clutching Tatoosh’s hair. Sam fell away from the car and struck her head on the curb at the intersection of 2nd street and Highway 361. The reports to the Madras police are still sketchy at this time and the incident is still being investigated. At this time there are no pending charges against either party involved, stated District Attorney Mike Sullivan. Correction It was reported in the last issue of Spilyay Tymoo that A1 Bagley was charged with the theft of two calculators, a slide projector, gold dinnerware and one count of embezzlement. Bagley was, in fact, charged with the theft of the gold dinnerware and embezzlement of the calculators and slide projector. He was convicted of the theft of the dinnerware but found innocent on the count of embezzlement. Spilyay Tymoo apologizes for this error. Flag contest deadline nearing Time is growning short for those who plan to enter the Tribal Flag Contest. The deadline for submitting your design idea is Wednesday, September 30, no later than 5 p.m. ’"‘'A lthough a number of people have picked up the required entry form and drawing paper, only three entries have been turned in, so far. Earlier this summer the Tribal Council authorized the contest because the Con federated . Tribes have never had an official reservation flag other than the three teepee design, which most people associate with Kah-Nee-Ta. The contest is open to any tribal member, with only one entry per person allowed. If your design is good and you can beat the deadline, your entry could be worth money- plus the recognition of being th e trib a l m em ber who designed the re se rv a tio n ’s official flag. Cash prizes will be awarded as follows: lst-$100 and a framed portrait of the winning design 2nd-$80 3rd-$60 4th-S40 5th-$20 The top five drawings will be publically displayed October 5- 1-5 in the tribal administration building. Judging will be done on an a n o n y m o u s b a s is w ith consideration given to th< design, creativity, use of color, visibility of design, and symbolism. Designs depicting special meanings or stories should be accompanied by a type-written narrative. Design requirements are that each entry must symbolize the three tribes, colors must be limited to three to five shades of your choice, and the tribal logo may be incorporated. All e n t r a n t s m u s t u se th e standardized 11' x 17' paper supplied when entry forms are picked up from Winona Strong at the administration building. Don’t forget.
