P .T L Y AST Appreciation given to supporters of the Jeff. Co, Fair
What would you do if you
were President Clinton? Ev
eryone seems to be all tied up
on what Mr. Clinton does with
his private life.
To me, I think it's none of
anyone's business what Clinton
does on his own time. You hear
and see all the late night
"Jocks," making jokes of Presi
dent Clinton. Could it be they
are envious of Clinton, and they
are not as desirable as Clinton
is to all females?
I'm not trying to defend the
President or anything; just try
ing to see what might happen if
we, the people, would just ig-

To (he editor,
A notice of appreciation to those
faithful supporters for the Jefferson
County Fair Native American arts
and crafts. Thank you so much for
your beautiful handiwork. I am by no
means a curator, but I do recognize
beautiful work!
Exhibits were down, due to the
enforced rules of exhibits. Hopefully,
should I fill the capacity of the Su
perintendent next July, we will have
more youth participation and honest
exhibitors who will display their
work.

Although I didn't know Peggy
Boyle on a personal basis, her term
on the fair board expired and was
replaced with the pleasant and laugh
able nature of Karen Corwin. Fre
quently seeing her and Jeanette
Nasset running around frantically
checking on the booths and exhibits
throughout the fair. I came to the
conclusion, it must be hard to oper
ate a walkie talkie and walk at the
same time. I'm just kidding.
Thanks 4-H
Culture camp
nore Clinton and his personal
action and go on with what we should be doing and that's to keep
our country strong, free and in order.
While we are all worried about Clinton's actions on what he
does on his own time someone like a foreign power could pull a
fast one on the nosy Americans and make a big raid on the
country.
We read and hear of countries doing underground nuclear
bomb testing and if we don't watch out they will come over here
and bomb the hell out of us while we are all worried over who
President Clinton sleeps with.
Wouldn't put it past Saddam Hussein to pull something if he
had the chance. As it is. thev won't coonerate with the weannns
inspection team in their country at the present time so who's to ds of thanks! I would
day what they may have up their sleeve. And here we are iike ,0 take the time to thank Arlene
wondering tfPresident Clinton had a big fling with Lewinsky. Of Boileau and all of the people that
course she's very attractive in my books and I'll bet there are a took part in the 4-H Culture Camp at
lot Ot other guvs in D.C. would ike to have a fling with Lewinskv Peters Pasture. 1 remember trie camps
but they wouldn't admit it.
We live in a new era, times have changed. Just like one kid was
asked in school in Hollywood, "Your parents both have the same
last name?
"Well," if he did or did not have an affair with Lewinsky, what
good is it going to do to everyone? I'll bet there is a whole lot of
adultery that goes on in D.C. all the time and it doesn't have to
be the President, it could be anyone trying to get ahead in this
world. Yep! some people will do just anything to get ahead
today, as is evidenced with the Lewinsky-Clinton situation.
Someone will come out ahead from all this scandal and hopefully
the nation won't have to pay the price for anything.
There is always talk of what can we do to improve on the
juvenile department. It seems like there are more and more
problems with our young people today.
There is so much destruction around here on just about
anything like if you leave a car parked along the highway the first
thing is the windows are broken out and once that is done the
owners sort of give up because it costs to replace windows in
cars.
The destruction of just about anything here in the community,
vandalism is on a big rise, signs knocked over, graffiti on the
walls or anything that should be left alone that's the first thing
they tear up without any concern for the owners.
To think of it, all the destruction that is done here the tribes
usually are the ones that has to replace things which costs the
tribes for the damages.
People just don't seem to have a sense of value for anything.
What if the tribes would deduct from everyone's per capita each
time damage is done to pay for the repairs or replacements of
what has been damaged. I'll bet the people wouldn't stand for
that if they had to pay for everything these vandals do around
here. Even stop signs cost money to replace. Anything that has
been damaged there is a charge either to repair or replace the
damaged item. There is no such thing as a "victimless crime" in
our community.
Even the vacant houses that are sitting idle, the first thing you
see is the windows all broken out and other damages done to the
building. Everything has a price tag on it and can add up in a short
time.
People know who does all the damage around here but won't
tel 1 who they are. The ones who do the damage should be the ones
to pay and replace the damaged items and maybe things won't be
so bad around here once this is in effect. "Oh well." Since the
Tribes are going broke, might as well hurry it along by doing all
the destruction to valuable items on the reservation. In some
places people who do things like this usually get some jail time
for all the damages they have done, or a super fine to pay for the
damages, but not here. The vandals go free without a worry in the
world and perhaps that's why they don't care what damage they
do to the reservation of private items. AHH-NAH-CHI-TOON! !
I went to and I am very happy that my
son had the opportunity to have some
of the same expenenes. I m also
happy to have helped with the camp
and seeing it grow in the past few
years. The bigger the camp gets the
more work it becomes. Great Job
Arlene and all 4-H'ers.
I would also like to say thank you
to the people that sponsored the,
endurence horse race during the
Pi-ume-sha celebration. I reciveved
my shirt and it was a welcome sur
prise. I'm looking forward to next
year, maybe just maybe, I'll try to
follow on a real horse and not my
motorized pony.
Once again thank you from your
friend at Fire and Safety,
William Bagley

Candv Watson, faireround secre
tary disco vcred the ins and out of the
fair, that time has limits! Her helpful
and friendly manner was appreci
ated. On to Mr. Floyd Bauer, man
ager of the fairgrounds, as always a
shrewd business man. That was a
joke. If anyone has the opportunity
to meet or know Mr. Bauer, is will be
one of business, but also of enjoy
ment. Watch out for his do. I think he
keeps the little guy for a bodyguard
myself, aye.
Also, I can't forget the Llama
Woman, Pam Bernhardt (a former
Kahneeta employee some twenty plus
years ago), from Spokane, WA. Dur
ing our experience at the Crook
County Fair, a week before Jefferson
Co. Fair, the kids of the Spotted Eagle
Dance Group had their picture taken
on the llamas, courtesy of the Llama
Carousel. Actually, Pam smelled the
salmon bake and was willing to make
a deal. JOKE!
Rosey TwoStarrs Suppah had the
opportunity to ride Pam's llama,
Oscar the grouch in the Jefferson Co.
Fair Parade on Saturday. NO! We're
not gonna buy a llama for her. But
she did have fun. Thanks Pam. Also,
a thank you to Gladys Grant for pro-
vidine Redskv SuDDah with a horse
for the parade also.
Well, I suppose Val doesn't want
to hear anything about the fair until
next year. Anything that could make
a bad day, a worst nightmare, hap
pened for her and her pig Wrangler.
Actually, I think Wrangler enjoyed
the pig company. She earned a red
ribbon for a feeder pig and earned a
blue ribbon for showmanship. Not
bad for never showing a pig before.
If any of you kids who came through
the pens and have an interest in pigs,
get in touch with us next spring. I
would like to thank Lola, the secre
tary in the 4-H office and members of
the other pig clubs who helped
Valerie feel better, by sharing their
horrrrrror stories of their first year in
Swine 4-H. Next year Val will RE
ALLY know what she's in for! Inci
dentally, Val's pig was bought by the
Warm Springs Forest Products In
dustry. Actually I was trying to coax
Dr. Manning to make a bid on Val's
pig. You know, the employee barbe
cue is coming up at the Health &
Wellness Center. Val didn't think
that was a good idea, cause Wrangler
wouldn't enjoy himself. Yeah, I said,
but everyone would enjoy Wran-
Life is something to hold on to
To the editor,
Hello from Pastor Rick. Someone
broke into the Agency Longhouse
and did great damage. Damage to the
school. Theft, gun play, violence. I
sensed an ever increasing emotion of
"me first". "They don't care" or
"leave my world alone". In a time of
budget reductions and difficult deci
sions, it is the nature of humankind to
build the walls around each of our of
our lives to keep the world out. And
to squeeze hard on the life we live
hoping to hold onto every bit of life.
The problem is life is something
that you need hold on to. The Friday
night beer drinking binge will in time
'creep into SaturdayrTo always bof-
row 5 dollars means in time 10 dol-'
lars will be needed. The flow of life
changes. That is the reason our God
promises to be with us. You see the
Lord set the river of live into motion.
He knows it's direction yet we must
be the ones to ride it down river.
Jesus stands ready to climb into our
boat and guide us. The Lord will tell
us "enough Saturday nights. Enough
violence. Enough vandalism. Go in
this direction, go this way on the
river of life."
A reminder. School starts in two
weeks. The Christian Education pro
gram of the Warm Springs Presbyte
rian Church also begins in two weeks.
Our church women continue to
meet Wednesdays from 6 to 8 p.m.

gler At. the end, one of Valerie's
friends commented to me, "When
you were yelling at Val to clean her
pigpen, I thought you meant her bed
room!" I thi nk that deserves a YI KES .
Thanks to all, who donated, helped
or participated in the Crook Co. and
Jefferson Co. Fairs. At least the kids
had fun! I would also like to say it
was an experience, but it would have
never been possible, should my su
pervisor not approved of my time
off. It was definitely not a vacation,
but I heard the office was quiet and
that I wasn't missed. The volunteer
work was to help those kids keep up
dancing, learning about salmon bakes
and running a stand. A little sweat
never hurt anybody, so I was told
when I was a youngster, but get real,
it was 105 degrees or hotter in
Prineville. I felt the performances
went well. Thanks to the dancers and
drummers for your participation.
