Violent death risk
using employees-
: Submitted by EAP: Alcohol and
other drug users stand a greater risk
: of violent death than the general
population, and the risk becomes
much greater when that person is
also experiencing problems on the
job. People who use alcohol and other
drugs had 12 times the risk of being
murdered and 16.6 times the risk of
committing suicide compared to
people who do not drink alcohol or
use drugs. Those people at greatest
risk however, were those chemical
users who were experiencing prob
lems at their job. Their risk of a
violent death went up to 17.9 times
uiguci man iiuu-ustu.
The risk is very high for people
who live with people who drink or
use drugs as well, even if they do not
engage in the same behavior. Those
people in the home face an 1 1 .3 times
higher risk of being murdered. These
are extraordinary figures and the cost
to the work-site and to society in
general comes to a huge $276 billion
per year ( 1 995). That comes to more
than $1,000 for every man, women
and child in America.
Here is how just $1.00 of that
$276 billion is spent for both alcohol
and drugs.

the cost is spread out over fewer
people. It is very important that all

Thanks to all of the young friends
of Cliffs, boys, girls and cousins.
We love all of you and hope you can
call us when you feel bad or happy.
You are also welcome to visit or
invite us to any of your happy family
events. Thank you Jonas for having
the strength to be their for everyone,
and being a life long friend to Clifford
we will keep you in our prayers.
If all you people did not come
around the help, we ourselves would
not have anything to live for but we
want to go on and find ways to repay
you at Cliffs Memorial.
If only to help other families in
the future, please be more
considerate. People were very
disrespectful about cutting in behind
the bodies, immediate family should
have been allowed to follow and we
ended up being way behind. We also
requested speakers and they were
not even considered although the
chosen speakers were fine. People
were not allowed to hug us or shake
our hands at the graveside.everything
felt rushed. It should not be that way

it makes it harder on the families.
Cliff had a short life but in these
short times he was involved with a
lot of activities.
His grandmother first of all gave
him his Indian name "Sheekum," He
went to Washington DC, he went to
Hawaii. He was involved in Cross
Country running which went into the
Reservation Relay and Hood to Coast.
He was the youngest in Brother
Ralph's team and he always enjoyed
running the up hill, the back country.
When we took him home for the last
time down County Line Road it
reminded us of his participation in
the Reservation Relay Run.
He also won with his friends in
the wild colt race one summer at the
Pi-Ume-Sha Rodeo and he
participated at the He He Rodeo. In
his cross-country running he also got
to go to the indigenous races at
Minneapolis.
He also participated in Volks
walking all over with his mother and
when he was in boot camp he became
one of the drill team marchers.
He had his first dance ceremony
at the Lincoln's powwow and his
boxing record was 3-3. One time he
won and he gave his trophy to the
boy who lost. At the end he started to
go down to the boxing room at the
community center.
When he lived with this
Grandparents he was involved with
basketball and cross-country. He was
quite an imitator always imitating
some one or pretending he was an
announcer for the blazers.
He was an excellent waiter at Kah-Nee-Ta
very competitive with others
servers. He made work fun and
rewarding for both the company and
his co-workers. When Clifford
worked he worked hard, when it was
the hottest he was out weeding the
yard and during his community
service for the church he was working
in very cold temperatures.
He had a lot of patience with
children and allowed them to climb
all over him and he would play games
with them and swing them around.
Whatever they asked him he was

As you in the corner did sleep

Waking you to read the play
Of "Romeo and Juliet", you would say,
"I don't understand and this is boring.
I asked you to keep on reading
Hoping you would soon make sense

Basketball was a game you enjoyed.
Friday we saw your skills employed.
I called you a 'cherry picker
As you received a pass and quicker
Than a flash of light, made the basket

To reach the end, you showed your

And made two points to your delight.

And that is demonstrated today

We wonder what you would become.
