Member expresses adoption opinion To the editor, "I belong-lndian Identity". Adop tion into the tribe, is a method of legally enrolling those who do not meet the established blood require ments for future membership. The tribe may want to limit any future adoptions, by listing certain qualifi cations in an ordinance or amend ment and enforce them. It's time to educate our children, as long as its not their first cousin to marry within the three tribes or what ever other tribe they may be. To bring the bloodlines back to the tribe. 11)0 adoption procedure gives the tribe some flexibility in enrolling people into the tribe. Enrollment and membership prob lems crop up frequently and can be come a political powder keg. It's something that ourclders overlooked in the past. Many issues arise from scanty, erroneous or non-existent vital statistics and documents from years past. Also several key terms at the heart of enrollment appear "rcsi dcnC "Indian". "Bloodlines", or "Children", are open to interpreta tion. Finally, because tribal enroll ment determines individual rights as well as the political make up of the tribe, all cloudy or controversial ar eas take on heightened importance. Tribal membership means that one belongs to a real community. Tribal members arc united by a common language experiences and cultural traditions, mcmbcrshipdccisionsare just as central to the tribe, as to the Chilocco reunion in NnlirclnChilnrrn Alnmnil Plane Notice to Chilocco Alumni !

Lola Sohappy Chief Judge, Warm Springs Tribal Court Apology offered To the editor, I would like to apologize to the community for my actions of dis charging weapons while intoxicated and recklessly endangering icople's homes in a residential area, would also like to make a special .Klogy anonymously to who's trailer home that was accidentally hit by gunfire let off by me and a minor that I carelessly contributed to. , Sincerely, Angelo Fuentes individual. The Federal Government will re gard someone us "Indian", only if that person has tribal membership rights. A tribe's power over it's own membership is the starting point for any discussion of Indian identity, which I feel is vital to all those who made enrollment, you may strive to be many things in life, to remember re Indian first and proud nl it. Knowing what you arc and where you come from, identity is part of your success in life, along with the Creator in your life! Just because membership require ments and enrollment procedures arc so fundamental, they act as pressure points in the political life of the tribe. Meaning some people arc never sat isfied the way procedures arc done or the results of them. If anyone has concerns or questions, then it should be those 22 people and their families who did not make the adoption en rollment!! Remembering the unwritten rule "what goes around comes around". You must treat others the way you yourself want to be treated, good or bad. People have a tendency not to forget the wrongs done to themselves, friends or family. This adoption was a vital issue to many, the record set ting turnout for voting was proof. All we can do is keep a prayer in our hearts for those 22 people and their families. Maybe in time, things may change and their future can change if they hold another adoption. You arc planning process Id 1007 rrmictrntmn Vptprm 14, 1997 (registration, Veteran's breakfast 7 a.m., meetings & activi ties; arts & crafts booths; dinner 5 p.m.; dance (time?) and Sunday, June 15, 1997(church service time?).

On Patrol-continued from page 7 enjoyable the student life will become. Several parents were rather shocked when they visited the school and discovered that their child or student was wearing di fferent clothes andor acting totally different from when they left for school in the morning. Other parents on the issue of skipping classes organized themselves to patrol the streets looking for their students who were supposed to be in school. Take not of your student or child's current friends, have they changed over the last year, if so why? We may not be able to choose their friends, but we sure can control what they are doing with these so called friends. Gang issues...to be continued. Training notes: Congratulations goes out to Lieutenant Tias and Whittenburge for completing the Board on Public Safety Standards andTraining Middle Management Course. Several weeks of intense training is set forth for those is Police positions that are of Lieutenant rank and higher across the state.

With Smith being a former Prosecutor, Drug Investigator and while representing clients from legal aid stand point on occasion; training in report writing was received on a rather positive note in that it certainly makes us have to do our jobs even Howlak George R. George R. Schneiter, age 86 years old passed away at his resi dence on November 14, 1996. Schneiter was born on September 21, 1910 to Alfred and Bertha Schneiter in Pendleton, Oregon.

He was a retired county agent from the OSU Exten sion Service of Warm Springs at his passing. He worked as the Exten ull still our people with parents, rela tives living here. "Don't give up hope, Pray!" Bloodline is now! Especially the "Tribal Blood Requirements", which our future tribal members must meet for enrollment. If the tribe wants to limit its future size, it can do so very effectively, by raising the blood de gree and enforcing it. This would lower the eligibility of the non Indian outsiders. It's time for a change. To bring back our Indian languages and strengthen our culture und traditions! "Residency isn't so vital"! It should be eliminated all together as a requirement for membership into the tribe. Look! At the long list we have for housing or new homes and unem ployment. Job requirements are raised to college levels by managers, our people are denied the jobs avail able, tribal preference is the item of the past. People end up moving, also for school, and military service. Some are adopted out to non Indi ans or Indiansofothcrtribcs.Thcy're still all our people, who arc trying to make a living elsewhere, for them selves and their families. Put your self in their shoes. Thcv should not be denied membership, for having to live elsewhere to survive, they're still Indians! An enrollment commit tee should be established for future enrollments.

Calling "911" The telephone at the WSPD rings. It's a "911" call on the "911" telephone. The dispatcher's heart begins to race as a call for help rings out. Oh no.. is someone's house on fire, does someone need an ambulance who collapsed, do the police need to respond immediately because someone's life is in jeopardy at the hand of another senseless act?

When calling 9-1-1 please remain calm and identify yourself, state the nature of the call. Please answer all questions that the dispatcher might ask of you to the best of your ability. The questions answered will only help the responding units when coming to your aid. If the call is not an emergency but of general questions, please dial 553 1171.
