“ He will be spending 30

Trujillo also says there will

and math this year. “The

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.
