thank the Education Department for
considering me a candidate to attend

to pursue my goals.
Special thanks goes to Laurain

would like to give special acknowl

Aleatha Wolfe-Heredia (Blondie),
I would like to show or express my
appreciation to one of my best friends
and mother. I have accomplished
through great effort, perseverance,
and courage, something I thought I
could not do. You have seen me
through school and helped me with
my children when I needed you. You
were there when I needed a shoulder
to cry on. The times I felt lonely and
when I couldn ' t see past the next day .
The time the house burned down and
we lost everything and became home
less, the time my car was stolen,
when the Audi was out and I had to
hitchhike the kids to daycare and
myself 1 4 miles to Cheney and back.
I felt so bad and the kids, it was
below 0 degrees and very cold. Ev
eryone thought I was crazy for walk
ing but I thought they were crazy
because they didn't cancel school
and wouldn't give us a ride. I told
Nicholas and Jonathan not to cry
because it was so cold. I knew it was
bad when Jonathan dropped his lunch,
I thought I would have to carry him.
Nicholas started to cry and his tears

" and eye lashes froze to his face. Mom,
you have supported me emotionally.
When I said "I couldn't go on", you
reminded that I was a strong person
in heart and mind. You have inspired
me with courage, spirit and the con
fidence to conquer my fears. I have
to tell you again, as I have always
done, "I love you so much" and "I
couldn't of done it without you".
Laura Stwyer and Evalyne Sam,
grandmas thank you for your kind
spirit, thank you for stopping by my

to see you two again. Thank you for
the times when I needed strength,
you two were there to comfort my
spirit. I see both of you as being very
strong women. I believe and know
you two were my inspiration to be as
strong as you two. My "favorite"
grandmas, who still tease me about
"Cindy Lou", a name that will never
leave me. I love you grandma Laura
and Evalyne. I almost cried when I
went through my graduation because
I was so honored and grateful you
two were there to share my happi
ness. Thanks for the comforts of home
(cooler stocked full of huckleberries,
jam, roots, dried salmon, deer meat
and eels). Grandma Laura you
stocked up my kitchen so many times
through the years, I appreciate ev
erything you have done for me and
my children. Grandma Evalyne,
thanks for the recipe of life and thanks
for the fried bread recipe. One...day
I will make fried bread, if not I'll go
into the taco shell making business.
Thank you for the cedar basket,
shawl, kitchen towels and buckskin
yarn bag. I feel privileged and hon

you. I love you both so much, I al
ready miss your kind loving spirit.

To the editor,
I wish to thank all of our friends at
Warm Springs who held my sister
and my family in prayers. Many of
you did not even know Judy Hurtley

more remarkable. Thank you for un

ways being supportive and loving
when I was here.
Thank you for the flowers and for
those of you to attend her service of
celebration of her life, for your pres

Dog control shoots pet dog
To the editor,
To the H & W Sanitarian & Tribal
Council. Although I have called and
addressed this issue with you, I want
to make my concerns public.
On December 5th, my daughter
called you because she seen the "dog
catcher" Edward Lucie and 2 pas
sengers driving around Wolfe Point.
Her concern was over her dog, her
pet, "Chompcrs". He was a pit bull
expensive-papered AKC-physically
fit and well nourished. Chompers
had run out of our yard when my
daughter had let him loose to run
around. My daughter was told a mes
sage would be left for E. Lucei to call
her back. By this time Chompers was
loose no more than eight hours. He
was not mangy, starving, rabid, chas
baby jack (Jonathon), "nickelodeon,
June (cockatjel) and bud (my all time
traveling companion that has never
' left my side even as much as I forgot
him in the parking lot). I appreciate
all your help and keeping the house
in order. Thank you for standing be
hind me (literally) when I decided to
tear the wall down. I thought it was
funny my neighbors were there
watching me do this. Irememberyou
saying "what about the landlord".
Well the bathroom wall was spack
led and re-painted and looked brand
new and I still was charged for doing
such a good job because the landlord
didn't want to pay me for labor and
supplies. I didn't want to be paid I
just wanted to enjoy my bathroom.
And tell your buddies I will always
be mother hen because I love you
very much so take care of yourself.
Thank Raphael and Eydie for host
ing my graduation dinner & party.
I'm just sorry I couldn't stay up long
enough to be there, I really think I'm
getting old. Darn Ray you are going
to be 31 on November 8 and I'm so
old, I'll be 30 on November 1st.
Where does time go.. .oh yeah, Jerry
said thanks for the fruit.

ing livestock or children. He never
went out of the "bowl" here in Wolf
Point. Yet the "dog catcher" stated
he picked him up at Culpus Bridge. I
DON'T THINK SO DOG
CATCHER. I want to know who will
replace this AKC pit bull?
I told Nancy Collins if I was like
her and E. Lucei, I would go to her
home & Edwards and shoot their
pets. But I'm not like they are.
When animals look cared for, the
dog catcher needs to locate possible
owners. Instead of taking them and
shooting them.
Besides how do I know the dog
catcher is not intentionally picking
up pure breds for his own purposes.
