high priority by the CDBG Program.

***Jacket
Found***
A Nesika lllahee Jacket
was found at the Longview YMCA
in Longview, Washington in 1983
or 1984.
The gentleman who
found the jacket has held on to it
all these years until he heard the
Tribe's name and location on the
News two weeks ago. He then
contacted us and let us know that
he had the jacket in his
possession and would like to
return it to the rightful owner.
How's that for honestly and
diligence?! It really renews ones
faith in humanity!
If you believe that this is
your jacket, contact Steven
Johnson at (206) 577-6069.
And to Steven, thanks
from all of us!
EDITOR'S NOTE:
Since Memorial Day
Weekend, a great deal of grief
has been felt in this community
over the loss of several loved
ones.
All of our lives were
touched by these good people
and all of our lives will be
changed by their passing.
Hopefully we will draw energy
from the strength they shared
with us here on earth to
reinforce the relationships with
those bf us that are left behind
so that what they believed in,
their hopes and dreams can be
carried on through our actions
in a way that honors their
memory.
