Why does it have to be one way or the other, or black or white? The football strike couldn't have come at a better time. No football games on the tube and the deer hunting season just underway. Some people say that they could care less about the football strike. You see one game on the TV you've seem'um all. Today while the Scabs are playing it's more interesting. There are a lot of broken plays to arouse the spectators on long runs and some good pass plays, put excitment in the games. When the teams are to good all you see is first, second, third down and punt over and over, gets boring. Here with the Scabs there have been some fantastic scor ing, that puts a little life in the games. So actually, who gives a hoot about the football strike. For the next few weeks the baseball games will be the high oint as its World Series time once again. In the National League it will be either the San Francisco Giants or the St. Louis Cardinals, while in the American League it will be between the Detroit Tigers or the Minnesota Twins. Should be interesting series.

Editorial (The way it is) Letters to the Editor ftmroRX err asf Deer hunting season comes along and everyone and hisdog were out roaming the hills in hopes of getting that elusive buck. The only problem is today all the hunters are all cooped up in a four wheel drive pick-ups expecting to drive up on the deer. In doing so they drive through fenced property, and it's a wonder that one of them has the ambition to get out and open the gate.. .because that all they do is open the gate and leave it open. There are reasons for why people fence their pro perty. It's to keep their valuable animals in or keep wild animals out of their crops, while these so called deer hunters come along with no respect for anyones fair with victim of incest View of Incest. I asked you for help, and you told me you would if I told you the things my dad did to me. It was really hard for me to say all those things, but you told me to trust for me. Thank you for all the very nice full course meals; I have enjoyed all the times with my nephews, nie ces and grandchildren. Most of all I thank Marceline for always inviting me and transport ing me back and forth to all the "family meals"! Thank you also for the very nice gifts!

The goals of the workshop were to encourage the young ladies to try for the Miss Warm Springs and other titles and assist with preparation. One of the parents in attendance, Barbara Yaw, remarked that she had no idea that the title could be so involved! There is a good opportunity for personal growth and enrichment and exciting prizes such as college scholarships, travel, cash and gifts. I feel that our gals have what it takes to represent Warm Springs and Indian country in a profes sional manner as well as bring home more national titles. I hope to offer the workshop on a consistent basis and work closer with the Miss Warm Springs com mittee and Miss Warm Springs to share the roles, expectations, and opportunities of the title. The work shop showed that the communitv will rally in support of Miss Warm Springs' development. Margie Earl of the Youth Employ ment Program helped make the workshop possible by assisting with coordination of speakers, the loca tion, and providing the lunches. The following speakers gave their time, talent, and expertise in speech presentations: Elders Grant Waheneka, Nettie Shawaway, Matilda Mitchell and Sylvia Wallulatum offered words of encouragement and prayer. We are so fortunate to have these pre cious resources.

I ask you for privacy, and you sent two policemen to my school in front of everyone, to "go down town" for a talk in their black and white car like I was the one being busted. I asked you to believe me, and you said that you did, then you connected me to a lie detector and took me to court where lawyers put me on trial like I was a liar. I can't help it if I can't remember times or dates or explain why I couldn't tell my mom. Your questions got me confused my confusion got you suspicious. I asked you for help, and you gave me a doctor with cold metal gadgets and cold hands., just like my father, who said it wouldn't hurt, just like my father, who said not to cry. He said I look fine good news for you. You said, bad news for my "case." I asked you for confidentiality, and you let the newspaper get my story. What does it matter that they left out my name when they put in my father's and our home address? Even my best friend's mother won't let her talk to me anymore. I asked for protection, and you gave me a social worker who pat ted my head and called me "honey" (mostly because she could never remember my name). She sent me to live with strangers in another place, with a different school. Do you know what it's like to live where there's a lock on the refrigerator, where you have to ask permission to use the shampoo and where you can't use the phone to call your friends? You get used to hearing, "Hi, I'm your new social worker, this is your new foster sis ter, dorm mother, group home."

Pebbles, along with Lyda Scott, Minnie Yahtin, Lana Adams and myself displayed our memorabilia, discussed our experiences as Miss Warm Springs and performed our talent at the luncheons. Liz Tewee, Museum curator of MOIHS and a member of the Education commit tee, spoke on "History of Warm Spirngs and Warm Springs cul ture." Her presentation, as well as the others, included resourceful hand outs that are available at my office. Antoinette Pampcrein, member of Toastmasters International spoke on "How to give a speech presenta tion" Mollie Marsh, OSU Exten sion agent, informed the girls of "Nutrition, Stress and Exercise"; Madeline Queahpama, Public Rela tions Ad Hoc committee member, took us on a tour of some of the tribal enterprises; Carolyn Cruz, Prevention Coordinator, educated everyone on "alcohol and drug awareness." Eva Montce, Wellness Program director, helped everyone evaluate their potential talent with, "Modern Talent" and, Charlotte Herkshan, Community Counselor, presented "Traditional Talent. We had a fun time with Susan Moody and Jeri Wiehr, both modeling school graduates in their presenta tions of "grooming and appear ance and how to model in a fashion show." Michael Clements, Assistant Secretary Treasurer and President of the Inter-Tribal Timber Council bored us with "Legislative update on native american issues." Just 1 guest and don't even get to see your own puppy grow up. Do you know what it's like to have more social workers than friends? Do you know what it feels like to be the one that everyone blames for all the trouble? Even when they were speaking to me, all they talked about was lawyers, shrinks, fees and whether or not they'll lose the mortgage. Do you know what it's like when your sisters hate you and your brother calls you a liar? It's my word against my own father's. I'm 12 years old, and he's the man ager of a bank. You say you believe 1 me who cares, if nobody else does? I asked you for help, and you forced my mom to choose between '. us she chose him, of course. She ; was scared and had a lot to lose. I .had a lot to lose, too the differ ence was you never told me how much. I asked you to put an end to the abuse you put an end to my whole family. You took away my nights of hell and gave me days of hell ' instead. You've exchanged my pri vate nightmare for a very public 'one.
