Other elders rode vans and caught up with the runners at Bullards State Park, where lunch was provided. It was an exciting time and the elders enjoyed the sunshine and visited with other participants. From there, the elders headed to Gold Beach, where we stayed at the Motel 6. After checking in and a quick rest, we went back to Port Orford for dinner and music. The community of Port Orford provided the dinner and honored the Siletz Tribal members. We got up early the next day, had breakfast, and headed for Oak Flats. We caught up with the runners before they reached the end of the run. Some eiders got out to walk and run to the finish. After we arrived at Oak Flats, a ceremony was held. We then gathered and went to Singing Springs for dinner. We did have an incident where the big white elders’ van had a flat tire. Luckily, it was just as we arrived at the Singing Springs Resort. A big thanks goes out to Stan Werth, Public Works supervisor, for taking charge and getting everything repaired. Thanks also to Rosemary Landis, her husband Gene, Stan, and Pam for waiting with the elders while all this was being done. They also followed us back to the motel. Our trip home was an enjoyable one - walking on the beach, stopping at The Mill Casino, then stopping for food and ice cream. This was a real trip to remem ber- another Run to the Rogue making many memories for all who took part. Wayne Case and Marie Chapman enjoy themselves at the luncheon. Elders Attend Coeur d’Alene Honor Day by Kathryn Dick Twelve elders attended the Coeur d’Alene Elder Honor Day in Plummer, Idaho. Elders from each area attended the event, which was held at the Coeur d’Alene Hotel and Casino. It was a nice trip with wonderful weather. The luncheon was really nice with a musician who played during the event. They welcomed the different tribes 6 □ Siletz News □ and had door prizes. It was a good time to visit with elders from other areas. We came home on a different route and it was really nice to see new areas. Andrew Joseph, the Northwest repre sentative, also was at the gathering and talked about what has been happening with NICOA. He announced the up coming conference, which will be held in Milwaukee, Wis., in August 2004. November 2003 Angela Ramirez hands several large dentalium necklaces, donated by the Elders Program, to Albert Wallace, coordinator of the elders restoration raffle.
