To the editor,
For the responsible party who has
been finding the need to break into
our home, steal our VCR, CD player,
compact CD player and my sons
laser light kit, I hope you arc finding
a good use for the items I BOUGHT
for my children and family.
Now, you find it necessary to steal
my wedding gift of, eagle feathers
off my car, a necklace with wam
pum, blue glass beads and a eagle
claw attached. A old time glass neck
lace with wampum and Indian head
nickels. Not to mention the green
dream catcher my daughter received
as a gift. I suppose you will try to get
money for these items, but I would
like to mention, I will recognize MY
necklaces and is illegal to sell
EAGLE feathers. 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

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

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, I would give of myself to my

If anyone can find the need to
return these items to us, we are offer

I am thankful to our friend Chuck

bad things, then to top it off, you
have beat our dogs with a whip, for
when we came home, our dogs have
whip marks across their nose.
We are also missing our small
dog, did you need to harm her, too?
If you would like to return the
items, that would be great. No ques
tions asked. But, it could all be
avoided, if you hadn't found the need
to steal anyhow.

medic EMT, and now there are five
EMT-Paramedics on the staff.
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

"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

I return, I will come out to the radio

This moves me to a different situ

major responsibility in a full time
position of caring for her father who
had recently lost the second leg to

one of the immediate family who
could move in but the only physi

demands and deserves the respect of

still feel that not only myself but
everyone, yes everyone, has taken
her for granted. She is not xojh maid,

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.

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-

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

is a new newspaper.
But only ten members if the nine
