"Splfyay
the dangers ot drugs ana aiconoi.
There is a tribe in Canada that has accomplished the goal of
combating this same issue and it took the entire community to do
so. But. they did it and now enjoy a drug free life.
I had the honor of hearing a young woman, a sophomore in
college, present her outgoing speech as Miss NCAI at an NCAI
meeting. She reminded everyone how thrilled she was to have
represented all Indian people during her reign and how proud she
was to see some tribes progressing so well. But, on the other hand,
it was shameful and it saddened her to see Indians being arrested
for drugs and alcohol. She made her point by saying, among
other things, that "you should practice what you preach. You
come up here, talk against drugs and alcohol, give lectures on the
situation and when you are through, you go right into the dining
room, eat a meal, order drinks, spend the evening in there drink
ing and dancing. We youth are not blind, we see what goes on. So,
I say, you should practice what you preach before you expect
positive results." , ,
This was good advice from a young woman still in college.
Maybe that's one step in the right direction.. .practice what we
preach.

Spoalts"
Of all the issues facing our
youth today, drugs and alcohol
seem to be among the most
serious. It appears there is no
immediate solution to the prob
lem. Because our youth mingle
with adults at social functions,
perhaps this is a starting point
of the problem.
What is the matter? Where
do we begin? How do we begin?
There are so many questions to
be asked on the problem but
there is no answer on how to
prevent this type of situation
from occurring. There have been
public meetings on these prob
lems and hopefully these meet
ings will give us a start on pre
venting the problems from con
tinuing or worsening. It's very
difficult to explain to the youth

Warm Springs, Oregon
$2.1 4 totals up to $256.80 put it
To the Editor,
Is the proposed monthly rate
increase of $2.14 by Pacific North
west Bell to compensate for a pos
sible miscalculation in their plan to
provide toll free service to the Cul
ver Metolius areas?
Why should I have to pay for
someone else's possible mistake?
If this proposed rate change is
forced on me, would the Culver
Metolius areas care to do a "neigh
borly" recompensation to our area.
Warm Springs, to share our toll
free service costs that we paid for
on our own?
I haven't seen any articles in the
papers guaranteeing a rate freeze
or a rate reduction by Pacific North
west Bell should this proposal be
accepted. I haven't seen any arti
cles explaining how I could possi
bly benefit from paying for a phone
service that I don't need, didn't ask
for. and most likely won't use.
I haven't seen any articles explain
ing why I ought to be in contact
with those by phone. If I wanted to
get in touch, I'd rather drive over as
it is a nice ride and the Old Court
house Gift Shop is better appre
Thanks, tourney success
To the Editor,
The Weekend Warrior tourna
ment comittee would like to take
the time and space to acknowledge,
all those who made our tourna
ment possible. Our list is long but
we feel it is important that we rec
ognize all those that lent us a hand.
As a committee we tried to treat
everyone as we would like to be
treated if we were the visitors. We
could only get six teams into the
bracket but we filled in with a 13
and under round robin. We had
two scrimmage games with Marine
Corps Color Guard taking part in
one of the games.
I believe that the tournament
was a success for the kids who
came to play ball and have fun and
that's what they did. Below is the
list that includes our sponsors, peo
ple that donated some time, gave
assistance or gave advice. We thank
everyone for their generosity and
their assistance.

If this is to benefit the businesses

be added to everyone? Any rate

Marriages important community issue
Hello from Pastor Rick Ribeiro,
It has been nearly three years
since my coming to Warm Springs.
One of my greatest obstacles to
ministry has been the inability to
communicate with the people of
Warm Springs. A letter now and
then will be my attempt to keep
people informed about news of the
church and issues of the day.
For me, issues will be most
important. What issues? Well, how
about marriages?
I have seen slavery called a mar
riage. Where the man says to his

Church youth rally May
A Youth Rally will be held at the
Warm Springs Full Gospel Church
May 1 1-14. 1988. Everyone is invited
to attend the four-day rally.
Services will be held daily at 1 :30
p.m. and 7 p.m. On Saturday, May
1 4 a "singspiration" will begin at 1 2
p.m.
For people who have traveled to
get to the rally, they are advised to
much. But the consumer would be
hit twice, if they have a phone at
home.
To most people. $2. 14 per month
may not sound like much, but it
adds up to a nice amount over
time. $2. 1 4 1 2 months I0ycars
$256.80. That's a lot if your income
is limited! I would much rather put
my monthly $2.14 cents per worth
into something more useful to my
family... like a savings account where
woman, "You are lucky to have
me. No one wants a pig like you.
Do as I say or else." When the man
has a feeling of ownership over his
woman, it is slavery. For me to be
using the phrase 'man and his
woman' is local "speak" which is
used to describe a marriage.
Poor communication. A couple
may lack the skills to relate to each
other. Or marry for the wrong rea
sons to escape an unhappy life at
home, to avoid a past relationship
or because of pressure from par
ents or society.
Wrong attitudes. Couples who
see breaking up as the way to solve
problems instead of taking neces
sary steps to sustain the marriage.
They don't know themselves.
Marriage partners who really don't
know themselves may fail to under
stand the needs of their mate or
their values in life.
What, then, is marriage? The
partnership of marriage is fidelity,
commitment and permanence. To
do the three, you must love your
partner, love yourself and, to plug
into M source Of love lovC God.
