Tewee sentenced to McLaren
A Warm Springs youth,
Floyd Tewee Jr., age 15, was
sentenced to McLaren School
for boys in Woodburn for two
years after he entered a plea of
guilty to the charge of
criminally negligent homicide
in Juvenile Court in Madras.
The charge stemmed from an
accident on December 16 in
which David Greene, age 43, of
Warm Springs received fatal
injuries. Tewee, the driver of
the car in which Greene was a
passenger was traveling at a
fast rate of speed when he
attempted to pass a car. Tewee

embankment. Tewee, Greene
and a third occupant, Floyd
TeWee Sr., were all thrown out
of the car. Greene died enroute
to St. Charles Medical Center
in Bend. Tewee and his father
received minor injuries.
The
Je ffe rso n
C o u n ty
District Attorney’s office stated
that at the time of the accident
young Tewee was under the
influence of intoxicants and he
was driving too fast.

From the Warm Springs
Tribal Council the resolution
opposing the plant states,” the
T r i b a l C o u n c il o f th e
Confederated Tribes of Warm
S p rin g s R e s e rv a tio n of
Oregon...hereby declares its
opposition to the construction
of the proposed garbage
processing plant adjacent to the
C hem aw a In d ia n S chool
campus in Salem, Oregon.
“ C o n s tr u c tio n o f th e
proposed garbage processing
plant near the Chemawa Indian
School will impair the quality
of the environment in the area
of the Chemawa Indian School
campus.”
A similar statement was
issued by the Siletz Tribal
Council reading, “evidence
indicates that this burning
plant could lead to serious
environm ental and public
health problems...The Tribal
Council of the Confederated
Tribes of Siletz Indians of
Oregon hereby declares its
opposition to the proposed
construction of the garbage
burning processing plant near
the Chemawa Indian School
campus in Salem, Oregon.”
P o rtla n d A rea In d ia n
Health Service Director S.C.
Stitt in a letter sent to
Chemawa principal Gerald
Urey expressed concern for
students and staff at the school
pointing out the risks to include
air quality being decreased, the
possibility of water contam
ination and a diminished
supply due to the plant’s use of
432,000 gallons per day,
roadside litter with increased
traffic, and danger to the
students with the passing of 243
plant vehicles per day.
Evidence has indicated that
g a rb a g e b u rn in g p la n ts
constructed across the nation
have created problems from
increased noise to ash fallout.
With the school being located
in a valley closed in by
mountain ranges the danger of
pollution is high. O ther
in d u strie s in th e valley
contribute to the problem.
The board of commissioners
f o r M a rio n C o u n ty is
concerned for the disposal of
waste. A 500 acre landfill
recently purchased south of
Salem will act as a disposal site
until the plant is completed if
approved and will also be used
as a back-up if the plant should
fail for mechanical reasons.
An alternative site for the
plant has been suggested and is
available. Citizens in the area
suggest it be used.
A p p ro v a l o f th e site
depends upon the Marion
County Board of Commis
sioners at this point.
Any comments concerning
the plant’s construction may be
directed to: Marion County
Board of C om m issioners,
County Court House, Salem,
Oregon 97301 or Chemawa
board member Olney Patt, Sr.

The police suggest that
people make an inventory of
their belongings and have them
photographed in color. It is
suggested that these be kept in a
file at home. The second set of
photographs and inventory list
need to be kept at another
secure place. It is also suggested
th a t p eo p le check th e ir
inventory at least once a month
so they can have a general idea
of when they last actually saw
th e ite m s . H a v e y o u r
belongings marked so they can
be identified. If you do not have
the equipment then ask the
police, they have several
methods for markings. On
buckskin it is suggested you
burn I.D. marks on the inside.
On guns, television sets,
radios and other appliances
you will find a serial number
that be entered on your
inventory list. These numbers
are important if the items are
stolen because it gives the
police a very definite advantage
in locating items. “Very often
people do not have the serial
numbers and so all we have to
go on is a very general
description. . .a 308 rifle and
the make... people need to
realize there are lots of missing
308s.” stated Elliott.
