1 m m 4 October 12, 1995 Warm Springs, Oregon Spilyay Tymoo E Coosh EEWA: The way it is "That's iust what I thought, too!" "Exactly, exactly!" "There was no conclusive evidence." Words heard after the O.J. Simpson verdict was announced. Like some say, "Money talks, 0. J. Walks!" Here we are trying to work on diversity around the country and now this. This issue of race differ ence is a long long way from being settled. And now the "Not Guilty," verdict has people buzzing al 1 across the country. Yep! Even if you'd call in Ser geant Preston of the Yukon, he couldn't say , "Well king, this case is closed." Like the old saying goes, "If the shoe fits, wear it." And in stead of cominc closer together this looks like the gap between the white and Blacks has widened. Can you imagine what might have happened if the verdict was different and he was found guilty? From the reaction of all the blacks when it was a "Not Guilty," verdict, it was like a big victory for the Black race and not for the innocence of O.J. Just think if the verdict was the opposite, and he was found guilty, it could have been a mass demonstration all across the country. Rioting, looting, burning and all kinds of distraction from the Blacks.. And there people stupid enough to say, race didn't have anything to do with it. A milestone has been reached as a Black man has been aquitted of murder and set free after 15 months of hearings and trials. Let's just hope the Blacks put this to a good cause and not start pushing their weight around and if they can control themselves and live like normal citizens than the whole world would feel the effect and perhaps the race problem might lessen, because to some if you give an inch they take a mile. Well what's next? Even after all this of a not guilty verdict, there still are two people who have been murdered. What's to become of that part of the script? To think of what the victims families are facing and how they feel must be pretty hard to accept. Yep ! Its strange how a celebrity can make waves in a calm sea and sway the jury to a not guilty verdict. But like they say, " A person is innocent until proven guilty,"...And up to the end they couldn't prove him otherwise. AHH-NAH-CHI-TOON ! ! ! SS Well theMadrasBeavers.Ooops! Imeant the Buffaloes are havingjust one heck of a time this year. Their latest victims, ooops, here I go again. Their last game they lost to The Dalles Indians 40-14. and it's getting frustrating to the fans. Well like they say, this is a building year, because the majority of the players are Sophomores and some Freshmen. Yep! we've had some pretty bad football seasons here lately and many people are wondering why? Each class has at least half boys and the classes are usually pretty large to where there should be at least 60-70 boys, but come time to build a football team there's hardly enough senior boys to make half of the starting line-up. The majority of the team comes from the lower classes. By the time they become seniors they too will probably be dropping football. Yep! You can't put a 14 year old freshmen boy against an 1 8 year old senior. The 14 year old may be big and tall but he has not matured like the senior. He don't know how to use his size like the seniors who have developed the skills of using their weight and are more mature than the 14 year old who really isn't hardly dry behind the ears yet. A freshmen usually has just sprung up to a size that puts him in a tougher bracket but with his age he hasn't had the experience to use his size like the seniors. Take the seniors who are more mature and have had at least one year of real experience on the football team has the advantage over the freshmen who has no idea what it' s like to get in there an play nose to nose with the big experienced seniors. So a 1 90 pound freshmen can be handled pretty easy by a 160 pound senior. But, why is there so few seniors that turn out for football her? The fans could use a good season once in a while.. Toe Ness " The professor was demonstrating before his class the ill effects of alcohol. He took a worm and dropped it into a glass of water and the worm continued to wiggle about. Then he dropped the worm into a glass of alcohol and immediately the worm died. Then he asked the class what that proved. A young feller replied, "Well professor," "That just proves that people that drink don't have worms." YIKES! ! SS SS An old hunter was preparing his own shells when he ramed in a charge of salt. "Why," did you do that asked hid friend? "Well," he said, "When I drop those bucks way out, it keeps the meat from spoiling until I get there." YIKES ss SS This lady told her friend, "My husband is the most un-lucky guy around. He's the only guy to report for jury duty and was found guilty."

A Story...A TV news camera was on assignment in southern Florida film ing the widespread destruction of Hurricane Andrew. In one scene amid the devastation and debris stood one house on its foundation. The owner was cleaning up the yard when a reporter ap proached him. "Sir, why is your house the only one still standing?" "How did you manage to escape the severe damage of the hurricane?" "I build this house myself," the man replied. "I also built it according to the Florida state building code. When the code called for 2x6 roof tresses, I used 2x6 roof trusses. I was told that a house built according to code could with stand a hurricane. I did, and it did. I suppose no one else around here fol lowed the code." Thanks Self- sufficiency program To the editor, I would like to take a moment and thank the self-sufficiency program for the Life Skills agenda I was for tunate enough to attend this past sum mer. At that particular time I was un employed and a bit skeptical as to what direction to take. It is hard enough to find and maintain employ ment on the reservation (and else where) with no skills or goals in mind. This program enabled me to reevaluate who I was and where I was going. My life is a day to day existence with a long range goal in mind.

T-n It I L i y ,j . l it i U t ,r helping even though I had to go through the humiliation of almost begging for help from Social Services and the Credit Union. There has got to be a bctty way in doing the donation, I believe. I don't think it is fair to some families to have to go through this kind of degradation when they need help and to have to be given the run around when it is clear that they are worrying about a loved one and need help right away. I had asked for a donation of $400 since I knew that I might be in Warm Springs for a while, and my daughter was in the hospital for six days. I have heard of Tribal Council member's family getting overaThou sand dollars donation when a loved one is in the hospital. And this doesn't seem fair at all. Anyway, I am thankful for what I received and that my daughter is on her way to a good recovery. Thanks again. Sincerely, Evelyn Polk Capoeman Early practice hours requested To the editor, Is it fair? Well anyway I have some very young excited kids look ing forward to this year's basketball season. I have asked nicely to ex change practice times with a coach which has 18 & under kids only and I have 9 to 12 year olds which can't enjoy the thought of practice cause of the late hours which I feel that anyone with 18 under should have the hours of 6:30 to 8 p.m. Not us 9 12 year olds!! It's just not fair, some of my kids come from Simnasho. The older boys shouldn't get hours of 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.!! Coach of Timber Cubs, Janice M. GunShows Happy Birthday "O.E."
