Not to mention the bad luck, the feathers were blessed with good medicine. What you will do with a cars ash tray, or a trucks ash tray, or better yet, a glove box that was removed, I hope you got a thrill from stealing Positive changes To the editor, I have been a Fire & Safety volun teer since 1995 and I have volun teered at the last four Pi-Ume-Sha Powwow weekends. I believe this last Pi-Ume-Sha had the best organi zation by the Fire & Safety Depart ment. I believe this was due in part to some of the changes initiated by last year's Public Safety Referendum, part due to the leadership of the Di rector of Public Safety, DaveMalkin, and Fire Chief Dan Martinez and part due to the professionalism of the fire medics. One of some of the changes initi ated by last year's Public Safety Ref erendum was the hiring of three new full-time and four part-time fire med ics. Luckily, two of the new full-time fire medics, Jerry Hochderffer and Steve DeHart are experienced EMT Paramedics. Paramedics can provide the most advanced pre-hospital emer gency medical life support of the three type of EMTs. When I started volunteering in 1995, Warm Springs Fire & Safety only had one para Member writes To the editor, To my family and the people of Warm Springs. The actions of one can affect many. Please let me ex plain. There was a time approxi mately two year ago I had started something that was to be the solidifi cation of a career. The only career that I had wanted for a very long time. It was something I had been afraid to even attempt for simple fear of failure-for a great many years. But with a little effort, a little moxie, and a lot of support and encouragement from my family, I got my foot in the door so to speak, and was embarking on a four year program that would result in the end a respected, com fortable life which Icould live and be very happy for the rest of my days. Instead, inconsistency, erratic per formance and ultimately being dis missed from the program started a slide that would ultimately land me in jail. The loss of the job was the least of it, actually I could be happy doing many other jobs, but the real loss was the loss of my respect (self-respect also) my home, and most of all, the loss of the love of the family a person could want. After being dismissed, my first mistake was going on unemployment and actually being comfortable w ith that. Instead of picking myself up, dusting myself off, and getting my job back, or at least attempting to, I was satisfied with the short end money, that sort of behavior carried over into other aspects of my life.

Before these new positions were created, it was common for just one EMT fire medic to respond to an ambulance tone-out or medical emer gency. Sometimes there would have to be a second or third tone-out for a driver since the solo EMT could not give emergency first aid to the pa tient in the back of the ambulance and also drive at the same time. Because of the increased person nel this was the first Pi-Ume-Sha weekend I can remember where we did not have the Jefferson County Ambulance at the Powwow grounds. It was a busy weekend where there were 19 ambulance transports to Mt. View Hospital between Friday after noon and Monday morning. On Sat urday morning June 26th at one time there were three separate ambulance off the Reservation taking Tribal Members to the Madras hospital. Ev eryone was assigned a specific job assignment. Luckily there was not a structure fire or a major accident or disaster "The actions children, go do things with them, take care of my yard, cook, clean, things of that nature. Things a real man, a family man would do. After the unny money ran out, I continued in my laziness by happily accepting a two day a week job, part time, to support my family. Once again being happy with 80 to 90 hours a month (I was hired to do sports for KWSO radio, which I really enjoyed. To the station managers, I apologize for leaving under the terms I did. When I return, I will come out to the radio station and apologize in person.) This moves me to a different situ ation. My wife had undertaken a major responsibility in a full time position of caring for her father who had recently lost the second leg to diabetes. She was not only the only one of the immediate family who could move in but the only physi cally able to do this-which I feel demands and deserves the respect of the whole family. I realize in my position my opinion may not-in fact I know it doesn't hold any weight. I still feel that not only myself but everyone, yes everyone, has taken her for granted. She is not xojh maid, your lunch time cook, your anytime baby-sitter, she's your dad's, my dad's, full-time caregiver. I am the most guilty of this. I accept full re sponsibility for my actions. I am ready and willing to help her shoulder the burdens of helping around the house to accommodate her full-time caretaking. Please think about this for one moment. HIS full-time caregiver.

We are sorry for any inconvience. during this year's Pi-Ume-Sha. How ever, the Fire & Safety Department had the available personnel to re spond to a big medical emergency or fire. Director Dave Malkin and Chief Dan Martinez were wise in delegat ing the day-to-day weekend opera tions to Captain Phil Johnston. Johnston organized the team assign ments and gave additional directions when there was a duty assignment question. Even the high school ca dets were helping at the Powwow and in the parade. Dana Smith, the newest volunteer at Fire & Safety, was helping with special projects as was Bear Springs volunteer Tom Rodhouse. Secretary Carol Stevens drove one of the ambulances on Sat urday morning when it was real busy. Everybody at Fire & Safety should be thanked for help making this year's Treaty Days Pi-Ume-Sha celebra tion a safe weekend for the Tribal Members and their guests. Sincerely yours, Mark Matthews of one can affect many," apologies sent has gave of himself for a lifetime, as well as his wife-being the rock of this family. Please respect this and act accordingly. I know I will. I respect him as much-more than my biologi cal father for the very reason. He also was not so quick-as others were and are- to condemn me. He respected his daughter enough to respect her choice-Thank you Ray. Everybody messes up. But people can change. I'm about to prove that very point. Now to the real reason I write this letter today. First off, to the commu nity of Warm Springs, I apologize for laxing into mediocrity with ulti mately cost me my career. I have let down a great many people. To Kahneeta Resort, to the Confeder ated Tribes and to the people who were temporarily proud of what I was doing. I am truly sorry. I will make amends in time. To my children, Reina and Alfred Jr.; I cannot begin to say how sorry I am for being such a bad role model that it has actually steered you in the right direction by showing you how no! to be! For not being there for you to unload any problcms-basically someone to talk to-I am truly sorry (and I apologize!). For not being there to see that you are well-fed, clothed, having everything basic it takes to be a well-adjusted teen-age kid. You have done great. I couldn't be more proud of the young adults you are becoming. I hope I can be like you when I grow up! (Oh yes, thank you OD. for being the role model for Alfred Jr. while I've been temporarily insane!) Redbird's Journal joins membership A small newspaper called Redbird's Journal has passed the screening process for Associated Press membership. The paper, ap pearing across Oregon since last fall, is published by Kristy Offineer. Kristy is a Cherokee Indian origi , nally from Tulsa, Oklahoma and who currently lives in Ashland, where she publishes the newspaper. By becoming a member of the Associated Press, the newspaper can access any story put on the "wire" for newspapers to reprint which would bring current news about Native Americans and tribes within each issue. Stories are written about Natives, according to Kristy, but many main stream newspapers do not have the space or interest to reprint them. Becoming a member of the Associ ated Press has been a serious goal for me and represents a major step in expanding Redbird's Journal and ere- Court notices- Linda David Petitioner VI.

Because thousands of stories are written every day, the AP has numer ous subdivisions to find stories by subject or interest group. The Asso ciated Press is responding to the rise in Native newspapers by creating a Native subdivision for these stories so newspapers can quickly access them. Interest in Redbird's Journal grows every day, according to Kristy, who has started a subscription drive to raise the AP membership fee. The fee amount is high, over a thousand dollars, because it is a yearly sub scription fee and Redbird's Journal is a new newspaper. But only ten members if the nine major tribes of Oregon bought a sub scription for $14, the membership fee would be realized.
