E Coosh EEWA: The way it is Good and bad of school reclassification B y Sid M iller Publisher Emeritus The reclassification of all the schools in the state has had its good and bad points, in particu lar the shake up in the Inter- Mountain Conference, where the changes of all schools to class 6-A, 5-A, 4-A, etc. The IMC now consists of the Mt. View Cougars, the Bend Lava Bears, Summit Storm, Crook C ounty C ow boys, The P en d leto n B uckaro os, the H erm iston B ulldogs, The Dalles-Watonka and the Madras White Buffalos. In athletics, football will cre ate a lot of problems mainly in the student enrollment area. It was visible during the past foot ball season. This does not nec essarily pertain to the IMC “In ter-Mountain Conference,” but to all other 5-A leagues in the state. After some schools took their bumps and bruises they elected to join independent leagues to be compatible with other schools in the same situa tion. This would create a way for schools of similar si 2 es to be able to compete and perhaps win more games. The towns people like to see their home team do well. To see their kids do well in sports is the good point of the independent league. Now the bad point of the independent league is: any ath lete who participates in the in dependent league will not be eli gible for state recognition for his ability of participation. He will not be recognized as an outstand ing running back, an outstand ing defensive player, and will not be eligible to participate in any state play such as all-stars no matter how good the athlete is. It is quite certain the Madras White Buffalos have elected to join an independent football league which is a wrong move in many respects. They should have stayed in the IMC, and took their lumps and bruises because who knows what holds in the future. It may take a few years before they would do well or who knows, it may be a year. This would give a good athlete a chance to receive the honors that are due to him in state rec ognition. Who knows, the inde pendent league may cause good athletes to transfer out of the region and play at other schools. As it is the Madras White Buffalos have the ability to par ticipate in all other sports in the IMC. Several years ago M adras was a small school and just had enough boys to field a football team but they took their pound ing from the Redmond Panthers and the Crook County Cowboys with lopsided scores but that was just all in the game. These are just comments about the sports participation of the school with no remorse feelings one way or the other... just something to think about. (Come forward To whom it may concern: On the early morning of Feb ruary 7 someone or some people stole my 1981 Dodge Arrow from my carport between the hours of 12:30 a.m. and 1:30 a.m. We reported it to the po lice as stolen. Now on or about 6:30 a.m. the police found my little truck on the side of the road and it was vandalized. All of the windows were broken out and tires slashes. Whoever did this, come for ward and take responsibility for what you did. A lot of people know me on this res, and at least they respect me enough to help in this matter of catching the people responsible for this ac tion. Stealing from a family man is the lowest people can go, es pecially when it was my work tmck and I have a family to feed. This is no threat or promise, it is a fact. What goes around comes around. “Behold the pale horse, and the man who sat on him was death, and hell followed with him.” You have just awak ened the volcano, dude. Sincerely, Woodrow Picard Sr. A thank you Family and friends, As many of you know my brother Racin “Jason” Johnson was shot on February third at about midnight. First I, on be half of my family, would like to thank the people who were there, for their swift actions. You did save his life. I understand you may or have suffered the repercussions of the evil that has touched my family. D espite what has happened I appreciate the love that is still here. Your actions prove to us there is still love in our homes. EMT’s, Vic tims of Crime, thank you for your actions. Also, you may say you were doing your job, yet you could do it elsewhere for more money. Thank you for caring H appy b irth d a y N iya-Pie and Storm y B ob! L o ve, A u n tie Bob. H appy b irth d ay to both Niya-Pie and Stormy. Love, Grandma Mom and Grandpa. H a p p y s e v e n th b ir th d a y Storm y! Hove Charly Tubby and N iya. Obesity battle Not in favor Obesity, with the associated health problems of diabetes, heart disease and stroke, is a huge problem for the residents of Jefferson County. With obe sity, diabetes and heart disease rates significantly higher that the state of Oregon average, and the potential for earlier onset of problems in our kids, we must learn to live our lives differently. Two health challenge programs are about to begin for residents of Jefferson County, as a way to jump-start healthier living in this new year. Warm Springs residents have access to the well-established “B ig g est L oser in W arm S p rin gs” con test, run by Carolyn Harvey, the Commu nity Health Education Team (CHET), Indian Health Service Nutrition Program, and the Dia betes Prevention Program. Through education and mo tivation, the program has been has been improving the health of Warm Springs residents for three years now, and they are always encouraging as many participants as possible. Why not call Carolyn Harvey today at 553-1196 ext. 4166 and get signed up for improved health and fitness? To my daughter Jeanette T h o m p so n , H appy 2 3 rd Birthday on Feb. 3. I miss and love you. Mom. CHALL - even though we are miles apart, I think of you, you’re in my heart. When you get lonely, sad or blue, just re member... I’m always thinking of you. Love, Mom. H appy fifth birthday to our A n gel B a by! W e’re both very p r o u d o f y o u an d love y o u so m uch! Hove, M ommy and Step Dad. We, the following tribal mem bers, are not in favor of devel oping the Mount Jefferson area and especially not for a ski re sort. T ribal m em bers rem ind Tribal Council that we are at the top of the pyramid, not Tribal Council and management. Tribal members are to be included and informed before decisions are made about us and in spending our money. We suggest that Tribal Coun cil set up meetings with the mem bership on this Mount Jefferson concern (there are a lot more people than the signatures on this letter that care about this). Let us know how Council will consistently keep the member ship informed on all matters and how we can expect Council to come to the membership with financial matters, as had been done in the past. Thank you. P in ky B eym er, R ain C irc le , Pat G o ld , T e rry C o u rn te y J r., and M avis Shaw. Time will tell Well my prison time is almost up. I’ve learned a lot and ma tured a lot.

Instead of going back to the wicked life I led I hope to better my life for me and my daughter, and to do that I’m going to need to take precautions to keep m yself from tempta tion. My friends and even fam ily, I want you to know that if I don’t come around it’s not that 1 don’t love or like you. I just don’t want to go back to the same bad habits that mined my life for the last four years. I have no doubt you will respect that I want to better myself and not put m yself around anyone or anything that will bring me down. I want to send my love to my family, friends, and Shanell and I can’t w ait to see everyone soon. I know it’s easy to say things and harder to do. I guess only time will tell. Much love and respect, Jarrod Allen. H appy V alentines To my buddies— my friends: M arci Picard, Danica, E ric Wil liams, Sally, Pearl, and Laurie. Happy V-day!

I believe that my mother was not notified by anyone un til the hospital chaplain called about four and a half hours af ter the incident and the police have yet to make contact on their own accord....
