Room tax is determined by the local government, namely us. . .tribal members. And we need to "bust-amove" since our Casino won't move up to Bear Springs. A tribal tax generating $ 1 96,898 coupled with a Kah-Nee-Ta Room tax generating $151,200 would alleviate our budget by a total of $248,098. A petition signed by the quota of tribal members mandated, would delegate Tribal Council to establish a referen dum (like Madras Casino referen dum) to vote this in. This is very pos sible. Think on this until the petition comes your way.

Need assistance in seeking photographs To the editor, I'm sending this letter to ask any one for help in sending me pictures of either the reservation, Kah-nee-ta, or events that go on there. I also would like to thank all the people that took care of my girls while I was in Warm Springs. I'm doing a speech on the 27th of this month and I need some type of visual aid. I have found the Warm Springs website but there are not a lot of pictures that I can use. Most of the pictures on there are from just of people and not really of the land. At first I e-mailed a couple of people then I sailed to e-mail a lot of differ ent people that I had found on the Warm Springs e-mail directory. I've e-mailed people I don't even know. After a couple of weeks of not really getting anything, now I'm get ting a little worried because if I don't have pictures that go with my speech then my grade will drop. If I could I would just go to Warm Springs and take pictures myself but I can't find the time. Speaking of time my kids don't have the time. How does that sound? What I mean is that my kids are burn ing me out watching them, because they go to school in the morning then they don't get home unil about 6 and 7 o'clock in the evening. So if any one has any pictures that I could use I will send them back. I asked the class about my topic of the Warm Springs Indian reservation and they are interested because it is someplace different then here with different culturesl do have another favor to ask of someone. Here in Hoopa they have a dress show and my girls would like to par ticipate in this show. I want to know if someone will make them a dress. I will pay someone. And even my son needs an outfit. I don't feel comfort able publisizing my address and phone number so if you don't have it please get it from my mom or dad(Hazel or Roy). Right now I'm hardly ever home and I am a hard person to get ahold of because I go to school and on Saturday's I go to Shalissa and Shantel's soccer games. On Sunday's I go to Shantae's cheerleading for the football players. So please just get ahold of them. I would like to say hi and thanks to Jeri Smith, Squirral, my mom for taking care of my girls while I was gone for the weekend. I also would like to say thanks to my dad, Jeri and my mom for trying to bail me out. My kids were wondering what I did to be put in jail. I just told them I don't know what I did. My kids think that jail is just for criminals so they really thought I had done something wrong. Once in a while I hear that my jail friends are asking about me. Be cause of them my kids think that I had fun in jail because I was telling my stories to everyone when I got out. My kids even knew that we cel ebrated a birthday in there so I can see where the fun part came in all of this. Anyway, hi to them too(Sacheen, Sally, Jennifer, Snipe, Louisa, Reanna and Nicole). One thing they said that I thought was funny was they would look at me while I was studying and start laugh ing, because they said that I was the only one in jail that had something to do with my time. I just hope that next time I come up I acually have the time to visit. I did visit until 4am the next morning and then slept until 11am then left. When I returned to school my friends said they were glad to see me because they thought that I wasn't coming back. I missed three days of school. My girls friends were asking there parents of they were coming back. That weekend my girls were sup pose to be in a parade but I didn't know about that. I gotta go now. I just want to say thanks to Myra Shawaway, AJ Atencio, and Madeline Queapama-Spino for re sponding to my e-mails. I'm sorry I didn't get to see Boss and Eve but I will see you when I come up next time. I'm glad to have visited with Ted and Mico Chase, Libby Chase, Alice and kids, Jeri Smith, Laura Switzler, Billy Joe and Wanda Berry, Dionne Thomas, my mom and dad. I'll see you all again next time I come up. Bye Rosanna Jackson The forgotten medal of a forgotten war U.S. Veterans of the Korean War are now able to receive and wear a medal that was originally offered by the Republic of Korea (ROK) in 1 95 1 , but never issued to them. At the time the ROK proposed the decora tion for the troops who fought in the three-year Asian war, it was forbid den by both the U.S. Constitution and Army regulations, for U.S. troops to accept foreign, service medals. The U.S. Army, which had command of the United Nations forces fighting in Korea, turned down the offer. Other countries that sent troops to the United Nations force were not bound by the same restrictions and received and wore the decoration known as the Republic of Korea War Service Medal (ROKWSM). All foreign awards earned by U.S. veterans during the Korean War had been turned over to the State Rally set Attention to all interested per sons A rally is set for October 25, 2000 at the Agency Longhouse at 9 a.m. by Martinez Charles. The Agenda includes: Jobs Training Funding-Business Funding; Jobs at Madras; Credit-No Credit; Outside Audit-Where is our Money?; Inter views with Tribal Council-Open Door Policy; Housing Needs; Courts Need Restructuring; and Void Neoptism. We will be bring this to the at tention to the U.S. Congressman at Bend. Requesting a response in some instance Federal intervention. For more information contact Martinez Charles at 553-3592. Department. In 1954, when Congress passed legislation that permitted Ko rean War veterans to receive and wear foreign medals awarded for service in Korea, most U.S. service members eligible for the Republic of Korea War Service Medal, had returned home. Most U.S. veterans were un aware that such a medal had even been offered or that, if eligible, they were able to receive and wear the medal. The State Department began distributing the decorations it was holding, but not the ROKWSM. Why the medal was not distrib uted in 1954 is unclear. The medal was mostly forgotten until in 1995, at a ceremony dedicating the Korean War Memorial in Washington, D.C., aging soldiers wore their uniforms decorated with medals and ribbons. And on the uniforms of the French, Belgians, Canadians and Greeks, American veterans noted an unfamil iar decoration, the ROKWSM. Veterans began searching for information. Eventually armed with documents from the archives and the 1954 legislation that authorized Ko rean War veterans to wear foreign decorations earned in the war, veter ans asked Congress, the military and President Clinton to officially recog nize the Republic of Korea War Ser vice Medal. In 1 998, the government of the ROK renewed its original of fer of the War Service Medal to the U.S. military personnel. And finally on August 20, 1999, the Defense Department approved the acceptance and wearing of the medal. In the letter to Defense Secre tary William s. Cohen dated May 13, 2000, Republic of Korea Defense Minister Seong Tae Cho formally announced that his government would provide the medal to eligible U.S. veterans of that conflict, or to their surviving next of kin. Cho wrote, "On the occasion of the 50 Anniver sary of the Korean War, the Repub lic of Korea government decided to issue the ROKWSM to pay tribute to the Korean War veterans for their his toric endeavors to preserve freedom of the ROK and the free world." The war began on June 25, 1950, when North Korean forces in vaded ROK and continued until the armistice on July 27, 1 953 that ended t the fighting. In commemoration of the Korean Warm both the ROK and the U.S. government will be conducting fiftieth anniversary ceremonies throughout 2000-2003. The medal is being provided at no cost to veterans. The U.S. Air Force has been desig nated as the lead agency to receive and distribute the medals. Approxi mately 1.8 million Korean War U.S; veterans are eligible to receive the Tt - J" hi A medal. The next of kin to eligible de ceased veterans may also apply. The ROK specifies the eligibil ity area, period of service and crite ria. The period of service is from June 25, 1950 to July 27, 1953. Area of eligibility is within the territorial wa ters, landmass, or airspace over the Korean peninsula. Service must have been performed while on permanent assignment in the area of eligibility, or while on temporary duty in the area of eligibility for 30 consecutive days or 60 nonconsecutive days, or while as a crewmember of aircraft, in aerial flight over Korea participating in ac tual combat operations. The ROK provided medal is approved by the U.S. Government to meet the U.S. criteria for wear on the military uni form. Information on how to request or apply for the medal can be found by contacting the Air Force Person nel Center, Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (CST) at 1-800-558-1404 or by writing to HQ ARPC Dppprk, 550 C Street West, Suite 12 Randolph Air Force Base, Texas, 78150.
