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 ! ! !

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! !

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

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." YIKES

To the editor,
Hello from Pastor Rick. What is
the source of your strength??? 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. There
are programs and resources avail
able through BIA that can continue
one's education or there is that op-

When the sun is shining and skies
are blue, building our lives on some
thing other than the guidelines in
God's Word can be tempting. But
there's a hurricane coming, for ev
eryone. What is the source of your
strength???
Finally, Thank you Warm Springs
for your great effort in giving blood
last Wednesday for the American
Red Cross Blood Drive. Our goal
was 50 units, you gave 66 units. We
needed volunteers. You gave over
100 hours of volunteer time to make
it a 'happening'. 264 blood produces
will come from this 66 to help many
people who are fighting for their lives.
Thank you.
No to Drugs and Alcohol, seat
belt your kids and yourself. See you
in Church.

tion to enroll in classes that could
secure ones employment.
! All these opportunities are avail
able to Native American people.
Without attending these classes I
would have been unaware of doors
that could open for me. I have fol
lowed through with the different pro
grams and have had the opportunity
to work with construction. I will be
enrolled in computer classes soon. I
thank Priscilla Frank for a wonderful
program that she presented "from
the heart". The various individuals
that contributed the steps needed to
become self-sufficient. All in all this
program should be implemented not
on only reservations but be available
to people that want a better existence
but just don't know how.
Sincerely,

To the editor,
To the people of Warm Springs,
For 25 years my husband and I
came to Warm Springs to have Good
News Club (released Time) for your
children. We no longer have helpers
to walk the children from the school
to the church and return plus helping
keep order in class.
Since my husband's third heart
attack in July , he cannot do this alone
this year. We thank you for letting us
teach your children and will miss it
very much.

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.!!
