Making the most of summer
At Upward Bound in Colorado students prepare for college
By Carina Millet
Spilyay correspondent
BOULDER, Colo. - Some
students like to spend their sum
mer at school.
Ysela Lopez, of Montezuma
Cortez High School in Colorado,
is a good example.
"I come back to see old
friends and to make new ones,"
she said.
Lopez is among the Native
American students attending the
Upward Bound summer pro
gram at Colorado University in
Boulder, Colo.
The program helps students
prepare for college. Native
American students travel far and
dedicate their summers to the
program.
"This is not just for the kids.
It's for the whole Native nation
to become stronger," said Brian
Shepherd, of Pine Hill High
School in New Mexico.
Several Warm Springs tribal
members have attended the
Upward Bound program. The
students who have come from
Warm Springs in the past couple
of years are Pasha Smith,
Natasha Edwards, Aaron
Mitchell, Anthony Mitchell,

The program is four and a
half months long, broken down
into three separate parts.
The first part is during the
summer after freshmen year;
the second part is during the
summer after the sophomore
year; and the third part, the sum
mer after junior year.
Each summer the session is
a month and a half long. The
students who attend must go to
a two-hour study hall Sunday
through Thursday. This is to
help build time management
skills.

The students take a number
of high school classes on the
college campus. They take these
classes to give them a better grip
on the college life and manag
ing their class work and their
free time.
The students live in a dorm
on campus. Everyone has a
roommate of his or her own
age, and from a different state.
The roommates and dorm
arrangement is designed to help
the students build their people
skills, and to give them a better
chance at getting to know people
from different places and back
grounds. The students must check in
throughout the day and attend
every class they have without
being late. If they are late there
are consequences, and if they
do not check in there are con
sequences. They must always
have someone else with them if
they leave the dorm. This is for
safety reasons.
If they do not turn in an as
signment, or do poorly in a
class, they will have no free time
and have to stay in study hall
longer than the rest of the stu
dents. This is all to help prepare the

Frontier Tavern May Close Down This Month
Twenty-five years ago
From the July 14, 1978 edi
tion of Spilyay Tymoo:
Because of a long history of
violations and violence, it ap
pears most likely that the Fron
tier Tavern will be closed down
for a month following the Or
egon Liquor Control
Commission's next meeting on
July 25.
The possible 30-day license
suspension stems from a De
cember 12,1977 charge of vio
lations involving illegal hours of
operation and for serving alco
hol to visibly intoxicated custom
ers. A March 8 hearing resulted
in a 30-day license suspension
being assessed against the Fron
tier, but the owner, Albert

do these things if they wish to
be successful in school.
But Upward Bound is not all
just a bunch of work. The stu
dents have weekend activities
such as trips to Water World, Six

The trips are completely paid for
by the program.
The students receive a
weekly stipend of $20, which
they can spend on whatever they
want.
The students who come to
this program are from all over
America. The students represent
a very diverse range of tribes
and backgrounds. They come
here to share their summer with
friends and to do school work.

Leiferman, appealed the order
asking to pay a fine in lieu of
suspension, according to OLCC
officer Glen Wrede of Bend.
But OLCC Information Of
ficer Genieve Cook of Portland
explained that in determining
the final decision, the commis
sion takes into consideration the
background of an establish
ment. "And this one is pretty bad,"
she remarked.
Cook said that the commis
sion will consider the proposed
order of suspension along with
the exception filed by
Leiferman, probably at their July
25 meeting.
The final order will be issued
at that time which cook feels will
be the suspension and not just a
fine.
The Frontier will be allowed
to remain open until the final
order is issued.
There is also another charge
of violation which occurred in
March of this year.
This involved hours of op

A hearing concerning these
charges was conducted July 6 in
Madras at a special meeting in
the Jefferson County Court
house. It is doubtful that commis
sion action on the second set of
charges will take place before
August, said Cook.
Leiferman pleaded innocent
to charges of hiring a person
without a service permit, selling
beet or wine after hours, and to
having empty containers strewn
about the parking lot.
He claimed to have fired the
individual who allegedly served
beer after the legal closing time
and maintains that he sweeps the
parking lot twice a day.
The record of violence which
the OLCC will take into consid
eration when issuing the final
order on the first charge includes
shots being fired both inside and
outside the premises, a fire
bombing, and an Indian police
officer being kidnapped and
beaten, stabbings, and a murder
in the parking lot.

teenagers outside the tavern,
shots fired at a bar maid, nu
merous fights resulting in inju
ries, and several assaults outside
the tavern.
There has been a request for
investigations of violence by
Rep. Sam Johnson and Al
Ullman, MC.
The incidences of violence
took place within a two-year
period, according to Cook.
Also, a background of past
violations which will be consid
ered include:
A $350 fine in February of
1973 for after hours serving,
and an employee without a ser
vice permit. A 5425 fine is Sep

This was dismissed because the
place burned down in April and
didn't reopen until September.
