; 4 July 6, 1995 Warm Springs, Oregon SpilyayTymoo E Coosh EEWA: Tfie way it is VitfgJ i Everyone in the world lives ; his life the way he wants to. Most . have jobs they work at everyday, j many are buying homes, buying ; new cars, clothes, etc. Making a ! living for their family. Some are pretty well off while others are, ; so, so, and there are some of the unfortunate who live from day to day with no real goal in life. ; This is a cruel world we live in I today, and it depends on how one has prepared himself for his fu ture.. When a child starts to make his way in life he is taught how to face daily problems. He is taught the good, the bad and the ugly. Throughout lie a person has to learn to choose from right and wrong. For example: A father could ask his son, "If little Joey had two apples and he gave you one, how many would he have left? Reply, None, because I'm bigger than he is." Yikes. of course this was just and example of what the real world could be like. Since childbirth people have to learn to work together, have respect for one another because we all have to live together. Communication is one of the biggest problems in the world today. Most of the time people who are together from day to day begin to take things for granted and sort of inticipate whats the next move. But from day one we all must learn how to follow rules. There are rules for everything we do and we don't just pick them up in a day or two. We live these things in our daily lives with out the thought that this is right or wrong because these things we do fall into place naturally. As a child we learn ,to get up in the morning get dressed, we learn to go to school everyday until we finnish. When we get a job we know we must be there on time and put in so many hours a day to fulfill our commitment to the boss or company. If we fail to comply with the rules of the company we can surely get fired for not following the rules. When we get married we know we have a family to look out for, we ,make a living and support that family make sure they are well taken care of. We go by rules everyday. . Everything in life must fallow some sort of Dattern that evervone must . follow in order to get along. Yep ! you must do what everyone else Well, what I'm really referring to is kids and athletics in school. The rule that all kids who want to participate in sports must comply with the rules which includes taking a drug test. If you want to be on the team you must follow the rules like anyone else. If the requirements are that you have to have a drug test so-be-it. Because if a kid refuses to take a drug test is like play ing basketball and not wanting the referee to call fouls on him that he commits. He is not complying with the rules that all the other kids have followed in order to play athletics. A person cannot make his own rules of the team. What kind of a team do you think a coach would have if all the kids refused to do certain things with the team. He would have kids going every direction if they didn't obey the rules. There was this kid in Vernonia, OR. James Acton, who refused to take the drug test , and challanged the Vernonia School District drug testing policy in 1 99 1 and followed it all the way to the US Supreme Court. If he refuses to take the drug test he shouldn't be allowed to play sports, and to look at him he probably wouldn't be missed either. Refusing to take the drug test shows he is un willing to go by the rules like the rest of the kids did on the team who went through this in order to play on the team, , We all had to sacrifice a thing or two during our life time in order to be able to participate with the rest of the population and it never hurt at all. Yep! we've lived with rules all our lives and we are still happy and a little drug test didn't hurt at all.AHH-NAH-Chi-TOON! ! !

Now, if I could get a hold of your Step into life To the editor, Hello from Pastor Rick. I have seen a new look in the community. Large wide eyes, a shaking body, not eating for days. Yep, it is the new crank look. It is the look of some one who is on a powerful drug; an upper. We now add this look to the alcohol look. We are getting to have quite the fashion statements. Here is my question. Why do people want to step away from life? Jacob was a man who did some pretty bad things to his family, his people and to himself. Yet there came the time for Jacob to get back into life again. Jacob wrestled with God. That is how Jacob was brought back into life. After wrestling with God he got three things. One. He got a sore hip. Two. He was given a new name, Israel. Which means to struggle with God. Three. A blessing. The blessing was a reminder that the Lord was with him and that the Lord was for him.-, Ouf;Creator is with us in life and is with us when we step away from life. The difference being when we decide when to turn to God and not away from God. You see, the bless ing of Jacob was given not only to him but to us, too. Don't step away, step into life. See you in Church. Pastor Rick Ribeiro (WS Presbyterian Church) iiict riraalill Portland. We give our thanks to the EMT's that transported him to Emmanuel Hospital by ambulance. Thank you Tim Demers and Marshall Rash. And, especially to both of our families and friends for staying at our sides through the pain and tears.

I would like to THANK local businesses in Madras & Warm Springs (too many to name) for sup porting WSE school with donations requested throughout the year. With out your support we would not have been able to honor students that truly deserve recognition for the efforts they put forth at school. I would like to take this opportu nity to invite the community to visit WSE this fall when the school starts, to possibly be involved in some type of school activity. There are a number of ways our community can help, and we appre ciate any kind of volunteer help you can provide. I would like to encour age community members to visit the school or playground just to say Hi.
