Negligent parents
face penalties
To the parents of Warm
Springs students ages 7 and 18
years old:
The Juvenile Coordinators
Office is getting concerned par
ents and grandparents coming
into our offices informing us,
that their children are not get
ting their education. The Law
and Order Code specifically
states that all juveniles between
the ages of 7 and 18 are required
to attend school full-time.
We are now informing the
students and their parents that
we are going to be enforcing the
Warm Springs Juvenile Law and
Order Code 360.500, Compul
sory School Attendance. Which
means that if you are not in
school full time you will be held
accountable for not going to
school. This includes students
that are truant, dropped for lack
of attendance, or students that
just fail to enroll (juvenile out
of controljuvenile in need of
supervision.)
Parents, if your childchil
dren are not in school and you
are not doing anything about it,
you will be held responsible and
cited for 305.439, failure to send
children to school. Which is a
crime, which carries a sentence
of one year or $5,000 fine or
both.
Letters of apology
To the Indians of Warm
Springs. My apologies for a
DUII plus having less than an
ounce of marijuana. I was driv
ing home from Elliot Heights to
Kuck-up St. This was a bad
choice made driving while J
was intoxicated, I knowit .was
wrong getting behind the wheel
driving without the knowledge
of my actions. To the court sys
tem I appreciate your time and
efforts to protect the people of
our tribal nation, for now I'll
appreciate the values of life that
the courts are helping me to
understand. Kyal King.
To officer Dennis White I
apologize for the actions that
happened on the night of Jan.
16 for I was under the influence
of booze. And I did not mean a
thing toward you, for you were
right and just doing your job. So
once again no hard feelings
cause words can be hurtful.
Eldred Heath.
I, Dereke Greene, would like
to apologize to Consuelo
Daniels, Hopi Tillequats and also
to officer Matt Sherwood for
my actions on Dec. 7, 2004. I
was highly intoxicated that night.
But that is no excuse for my
actions. Now I'm paying for my
actions, sitting in the Warm
Springs Correctional Facility.
Again I would like to apologize
to these individuals. Derek
Greene.
To the Tribal Court and the
Confederated Tribes I apologize
for my actions and reactions to
the people it may concern while
I was under the influence. I re
alize you're here for our people's
protection and well being. I will
try to make a difference in me
and the people around me.

attendance laws
Now we all don't have that
kind of money to pay or time
to sit in jail, so get off those
bottoms and get those kids off
to school. Then when they do
get on the bus to go to school,
call the school and make sure
your kids are attending classes.
We all have to work together to
get our kids educated.
The following is the Juvenile
Code 360.500 sections 1-4,
Compulsory school attendance:

section 2, all juveniles between
the ages of 7 and 18 years who
have not completed the twelfth

full-time. Full-time attendance
means attendance each school day
unless excused from attendance
for that day by the school au
thorities or by mutual agreement
of the school authorities and the
Warm Springs Tribe. The school
attended may be either a regular
public school, a Bureau of In

To my family and people of
the community of Warm
Springs, I would like to apolo
gize for my wrong-doing on 12-17-04.
Being under the influence
of drugs (meth). I'm truly sorry
for, my actions, I'm, trying my
best to get my life back on track
and I'm grateful to be here to
day. Simon Jim.
To whoever it may concern:
I was told to write a 50 word
apology letter so here it is and I
will try to do my best. I'm not
real good at this. I did a very
dumb thing a while back and got
in trouble and caused myself a
lot of problems. I am trying to
deal with these problems. I
apologize to everyone. Loreen
Dennis.
To the community of Warm
Springs, I'm writing this apology
for driving infractions almost a
year ago. I was cited for reck
less driving, failing to do duties
of a driver. I was wrong but
being a father I was worried
about one of my children. Again
I apologize for the actions. Jerry
Clement.
To the people of the Warm
Springs community and the visi
tors, I would like to take the time
to apologize for my actions on
the first of January, 2005. I
should have had my tail lights
on. I thought I did. In the fu
ture I will be more cautious.
Thanks for your time. John
Bull.
J'd like to say I'm very sorry
to all of my beautiful children
who could have been seriously
hurt with me when instead
could have been safe at home.
But I was too impatient to go,
and endangered our lives. Sorry.

To the tribal people of Warm
Springs, I, Lance Boise, was
court ordered to write an apol
ogy to the community. I was
picked up on Jan. l .at about
7:21 a.m. for driving a vehicle .
that had defective equipment.
Me and four other passengers
were in the vehicle. Three of
the five were taken into custody
by the Warm Springs Police
Department. I know the actions
I have committed on the reser
vation were wrong. I deeply re
gret driving that morning so
early, especially with a defective
vehicle. I just wanted the people
of this community to know that
I realized my mishap that day.
But since it was my first offense
for possession, I received a
$1,000 fine suspended, 120 days
with 110 suspended, three
months added to my probation,
and 25 hours of community
service. And a restart on my
counseling sessions. I do hope
that justice has been served be
cause that is what they do, jus
tice. Lance Boise.
