j Parents must watch for signs of suspected drug use
'. The parents have just listened to
I their 17-year-old daughter or son list
'. the history of his or her drug use.
', They are stunned.
It began with the occasional beer
at age 11. More alcohol eventually
turned into an avalanche of sub-
stances: pot, speed, mushrooms and
' cocaine. In the beginning it happened
occasionally, but soon it was every
weekend. Then it was happening
constantly at home, at work and at
school.
No parents want to believe that
their child is an addict, but drug-
addicted children can come from any
home.
Education about the dangers of
drugs and a close relationship with
I parents who warn that drugs must be
avoided can give children a better
; chance to stay clean but that doesn't
necessarily guarantee sobriety.
; The list of symptoms of drug abuse
; is lengthy, but it can be summed up in
; the answer to one question: "Has my
; child's behavior changed?"
; Altered performance, ap
; pearance or behavior may be a
; tip-off. Most parents realize that a
; certain amount of moodiness and
: anxiety accompanies any teen's
development, but if there are
drastic changes, parents should
; start taking a closer look at what
r their kids may be up to.
If a child becomes hostile
when the subject of drugs is
V
brought up by parents, it could
mean trouble.
The possession of drug
paraphernalia is another clue.
Pipes, rolling papers, butts, seeds
or leaves can all mean drug use.
More subtle accoutcrmcnts to a
drug habit include incense and
eye drops that will cover up the
scent or effects of drug use.
A drug-related magazine
found in a child's room or T
shirts and baseball hats with
marijuana leaves or drug slogans
can also signify a problem.
Other warning signs include
memory lapses, a short attention
span, poor physical coordination,
sleeping more or less than usual
or at unusual times, slurred or
incoherent speech, indifference to
hygiene and grooming, frequent
use of breath mints, bloodshot
eyes, dilated pupils and a marked
downturn of grades in school.
Parents should also be on the
lookout for incomplete assign
ments, increased absences or tar
diness, lying stealing and cheat
ing, trouble with the police or in
school, a new group of friends,
family withdrawal, increasing or
inappropriate anger, hostility, ir
ritability, secretiveness, reduced
motivation and energy and di
minished interest in extracurricu
lar activities or hobbies.
Parental intervention
Parents should intervene as soon
as they have an inkling that there is a
problem. But parents must first ac
cept that there is a problem before
they are able to take effective action.
Enter a drug education group with
the child. This way he or she will
better understand the dangers of drugs
and will also feel the genuine con
cern of the parent.
At home, lay out clear expecta
tions for the chld's behavior and es
tablish specific consequences to back
up the limitations. The key is to give
the child choices so he or she rec
ognizes the punishment is a result of
his or her decisions the imposition
of a reasonable curfew is a good
place to start.
Draw up an agreement. Some par
ents find it useful to have their child
sign a contract of abstinence. The
contract should have very specific
guidelines and if the child violates
the contract, it should be taken as a
sign that the problem is serious.
Parents can force rehabilitation if
the child is especially troublesome,
but experts warn that the child's co
operation is vital to the success of
such a program.
Child drug abuse can become a
nightmare. But it is a nightmare par
ents can avoid buy knowing and
watching for the warning signs.

The Burger Inn is now vacant as of June 20.
The Burger Inn was built in 1966, by Cecil and Aradonna Seyler. This photo was taken before that,
As many of the members of the community
know, the Burger Inn has been closed since
June 20. The Burger Inn is a 29-year-old
building and has had three owners since it
was first built.
The Burger Inn was built in 1966 by
Aradonna and Cecil Seyler to provide a
service to the Warm Springs community and
visitors. There wasn't any fast food business
readily available.
The Seylers served lunch and dinner:
hamburgers, hot dogs, fries, chicken and
shrimp baskets, soda pop, coffee, and ice
cream. They met Oregon's sanitation and
health standard, by choice of Cecil and
Aradonna. The Burger Inn had an "A" rating
after many visits by the state. This is the
highest you can get. Their huckleberry shakes
were considered the best made, and visitors
from Madras would drive here to have a
huckleberry shake.
The Seylers had a low turnout of staff
throughout the years, five or six employees
worked per day shifts. Work hours were 8:30
a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Sometimes they'd stay
open until the last customer left after 10:00
p.m.
Some interesting customers who stopped
were Colonel Sanders of Kentucky Fried
Chicken and a group of Hells Angels bikers.
Regular visitors who stopped by included:
Oregon State Police, tribal and government
employees, tourists who stopped by for the
first time continued to stop every time after
that on their way through Warm Springs.
There were four to five secretaries from the
mill that would call in their orders every day
and reserve the corner table.
Cecil began working for the BIA in
Facilities Management in 1969.
