This is not a trivia question,
even though trivia questions
seem to be the thing today.
Well, anyway, here it is. "Who
can remember back to the 60s
when all the students would
gather at Seaside and stage one
of the nation's largest riots on
Labor Day?" They would take
over the city for a day or two,
rampaging up and down the
streets. The Seaside Labor Day
riots became the talk of the
nation for a year or two. Things
were finally set straight and
now the riots are just a thing of
the past. Never really knew why
they had their riots.. .there were
several different reasons, but
none were ever revealed why
they did this.
The reason this was mentioned was because of the weekend
being Labor Day, the last big fling for the students before return
ing to school for another year. It's kinda sad to see the summer
fade away with autumn staring us in the face.
Well, the kids had plenty to do for their last three-day holiday.
Camping trips, trips to the coast or the mountains. Many spent
some time at the State fair in Salem. Large crowds were in attend
ance, taking in all the exhibits and taking their turn at all the fun
rides on the mid-way, the horse races and many other attractions.
Large crowds also packed the outdoor theater where the Everyly
Brothers were performing. You could hear the oooohs and aaaahs
from the 40-year-old "girls" as the Everly Brothers sang some of
. their favorite hits of the past, like "Wake Up Little Suzie",
"Cathy's Clown", "All I Have To Do Is Dream", just to name a
' few. My daughter said "You like the Everly Brothers? Who are
they?" There were other entertainers on hand throughout the fair.
There were some people who spent a quiet day of picking
huckleberries and some who just went out for a drive, taking in the
sights.
Now that things are somewhat back to normal for another year,
we can reflect on all the fun days we had during the summer.
Drar Warm Springs Community:
It appears from reports that I
have received from the community
that a clarification of legal services
is in order. I have a private law
practice with offices in Warm
Springs and in Portland. I practice
in State, Tribal, and Federal Courts.
For the majority of my case load,
my clients pay for my services
directly. However, I also have a
contract with the Warm Springs
Tribe to provide legal services to
tribal members. For tribal members
and the cases that qualify under the
Legal Services program, the tribe
pays my legal fees. Under this pro
gram I can only take cases that
involve a general matter involving
outside agencies. I cannot take
cases under the Legal Services pro
gram that involve a suit between
two tribal members, a tribal member
against the tribe, or any work
involving litigation. This may seem
confusing, but if you need legal
advice, please come to see me and I
will make the determination of
whether your case qualifies under
the Legal Services program, or
whether you need to seek private
legal help.
You should also be aware of.
where I am located, and who works
with me. Corey Clements manages
the Warm Springs office, and
rrimarily docs investigative work.
)c Wayne Charley directs the Por
tland office and handles adminis
trative tasks and legal research.
They are both studying to be legal
assistants. My Warm Springs office
is located two buildings left of the
tribal court at 2122 Warm Springs
Street, my Portland office is at
9700 S.W. Capitol Highway. Suite
275. The telephone number in Warm
Springs is 553-1013 and 244-6593
in Portland.
I am in no way associated with
Urcn Leonard who also docs pri
vate legal work on the reservation.
Nor am I associated with the tribal
legal aide program directed by Pat
Leno. We each, however, maintain
an informal referral system between
the three parties. In each of our
areas I am sure we are all willing to
help you to the best of Durabilities.
Sincerely,
Celeste Whltewolf, Attorney
Thanks for the fun
In-me-ma-ni-moo-ma,
I want to take this opportunity
to thank everyone for making my
friends' visit to the Huckleberry
Feast enjoyable. I think the Japa
nese visitors really enjoyed every
thing. They especially enjoyed the
"Ta-wa-nee" salmon.
I personally want to thank "Miss
Huck" for making us laugh and
sharing giant huckleberries.
This reminded me of the "fancy
dancer" that attended our New
Year's Eve celebration at Simna
sho. He brought all those toys for
our children and made them feel
like Santa visited them again.
Thanks again'Yancy dancer"(Cap
tain Jack for being such a giving
and thoughtful person.
Sincerely,
Darlene (Darlou) Foster

Please, God, I'm only 17
The day I died was an ordinary school day.
How I wish 1 had taken the bus! But I was too
cool for the bus. I remember how I wheedled
the car out of Mom. "Special favor, "I
pleaded, "all the kids drive. " When the 2:50
bell rang, I threw all my books in the locker. I
was free until 8:40 tomorrow morning! I ran
to the parking lot, excited at the thought of
driving a car and being my own boss. Free!
It doesn't matter how the accident
happened. I was goofing off going too fast.
Taking crazy chances. But I was enjoying my
freedom and having fun. The last thing I
remember was passing an old lady who
seemed to be going awfully slow. I heard the
deafening crash and felt a terrific jolt. Glass
and steel flew everywhere. My whole body
seemed to be turning inside out. heard
myself scream.
Suddenly I awakened; it was very quiet. A
police officer was standing over me. Then I
saw a doctor. My body was mangled. I was
saturated with blood. Pieces of jagged glass
were sticking out all over. Strange that I
couldn 't feel anything.
Hey, don 7 pull that sheet over my head. I
can't be dead. I'm only 17. I've got a date
tonight. I am supposed to grow up and have a
wonderful life. I haven 't lived yet. I can 7 be
dead.
Later I was placed in a drawer. My folks
had to identify me. Why did they have to see
me like this? Why did I have to look at Mom 's
eyes when she faced the most terrible ordeal of
her life? Dad suddenly looked like an old man.
He told the man in charge, 'Yes, he is my
son. "
The funeral was a weird experience. I saw
all my relatives and friends walk toward the
casket. They passed by, one by one, and
looked at me with the saddest eyes I've ever
seen. Some of my buddies were crying. A few
of the girls touched my hand and sobbed as
they walked away.
Please. ,.somebody...wake me up! Get me
out of here. I can't bear to see my mom and
dad so broken up. My grandparents are so
racked with grief they can barely walk. My
brothers and sisters are like zombies. They
move like robots. In a daze, everybody! No -one
can believe this. And I can't believe it,
either.
Please don't bury me!! I'm not dead! I have
a lot of living to do! I want to laugh and run
again. I want to sing and dance. Please don't
put me in the ground. I promise if you give me
just one chance, God, I II be the most careful
driver in the whole world. All I want is one
more chance.
Please, God, I'm only 17.

just thought of someone he can blame." YIKES
