Car rolls,
Accidents happen often
when you least expect them.
Frank Brunoe made a stop
in West Hills yesterday and
after a brief visit, came out
to find that his newly
purchased Camera rolling
down the hill. The car
slammed into the home
occupied by Angela Polk
and her family. Luckily, no
one was injured, but the
accident brings cause to use
caution when stopping.
Drivers are reminded to
always set their emergency
brake when leaving their
vehicle.
Angela was shaken by the
incident and is thankful that
no one got hurt as her aunt
and her four-year-old
daughter were outside at the
time of the incident. A
tragedy was avoided and
she reminds those who
drove by honking and
laughing that the incident '
was no laughing matter. She
expresses her gratitude to
Warm Springs Fire and
Safety, the Police
department and her family.

Thirty-five parents and family

of a former Early Childhood Educa

An older-model Camera, owned by Frank Brunoe, rolled down Tao-shuh
home sustained substantial damage.
The defendant, a non-tribal mem
ber, pled no contest to a charge of
child neglect. The charge resulted
from what was described as an inap
propriate form of discipline. Gene
Smith, tribal prosecutor in charge of
the case, said the children involved
were from a year to two years of age.
Masking tape was used to tape
children's wrists, eyes, legs ormouths
as a means of discipline.
Charles "Jody" Calica, the Con
federated Tribe's Chief Operations
Officer, stated, "We, as a Tribe, do
not subscribe to or condone these
kids of disciplinary or behavior modi
fication practices."
The judge sentenced the former
teacher to 180 days in jail, suspended,
a $500 find that was suspended, and
one year bench probation. Those in
attendance were able to make recom
mendations to the judge, and they
were quick to voice their disapproval
at the sentence.
"We are still actively pursuing the
facts related to this, and closely re
lated kinds of incidents resulting in
injury to children's safety and wel
fare," Calica said. "We will take ap
propriate legal and administrative
action as remedies as the facts are
assembled and evaluated."
Prosecutor Smith made the sen
tencing recommendation to the judge.

He said, "It was my case... I made the
decision...ran it by the General Man
ager and my supervisor, and ex
plained my reasoning and rational to
the judge." The prosecutor said the
reason for a light sentence is because
three other cases are pending trial,
and the police department is continu
ing to investigate. He commented
that prosecutors had made a plea
offer to each individual to reduce
charges with no incarceration if they
would cooperate. "We are 1 oping for
a successful outcome to these pro
ceedings that will fully insure the
health, safety and welfare of all chil
dren entrusted to our care.
The three other teachers are
charged with child neglect, disor
derly conduct, assault, and aiding
and abetting. Their trials are sched
uled to be held in tribal court in
September.
Relicensing
Two public meetings concerning
the Pelton-Round Butte Relicensing
Project will be held in the Warm
Springs area. All Tribal members
are encouraged to attend. Both
meetings are designed to present
information about Relicensing, and
to listen to Tribal input with regards
to management direction and
emphasis in the future. The strategy
for the comprehensive management
plan surrounding the Pelton-Round
Butte Project will be developing over
the next two months. This is the time
for Tribal members to help shape the
ideas that will ultimately be
management alternatives considered
by Tribal Council.
The first meeting will be a Tribal
Outreach, oriented specifically to
Tribal members. The Pelton-Round
Butte Relicensing team will provide
short presentations focusing on our
progress in fisheries and wildlife
resources, recreation and land use,
cultural resources and scenery
