Editorial EEWA: n Letters to " to hear what you have to say. After all it is you that put them there during the general election for Tribal Council. Everyone in the organization is working for the best interest of the tribes. 1 realize it is hard to deal with radicals, ones who hear and see what they want to. Read in between lines, misinterpreting what they read or hear. Stir up bad feelings among the tribal members. Here in Indian country we have problems coming to us from all directions let alone bickering among each other with-in our own tribe. The non-Indian world has their eyes on what little we as Indians have left. Without a blink of an eye they would take whatever they could from us. I don't know how much longer the mountains will stand or how long the rivers will run as we claim our rights granted us in the treaties between the Indian Tribes and the United States Government. To some of the non-Indians population, the mountains are gone and the rivers are dry and they are trying to get what little we have left and thats not very much any more. So instead of criticizing our leadership we should get behind them to give them courage to carry on our business. Violators listed Continued from page 3 of Wapato, Phillip L Smith of Sunnyside, Joseph Williams of Wapato and Corrine SanJuan of Wapato. were all cited near John Day Dam for gillnet fishing out of season.

Daniel and Michael Heuker of Cascade Locks were cited along with Butcher for this offense, wastage of Game fish. Michael Heuker was given an addi tional citation for keeping salmon illegally. June 18, 1986 Daniel Ramirez, Carmclo and Victor Chavez andd Toe ft There is nothing more frustrating then spending evenings alone. One day I had a nice girl friend, a girl many would give anything for. But here lately I haven t seen or heard a word trom ner. The last time I saw her was when I took her out to dinner, a movie and dancing. I promised her a good meal and as we drive along, about half way there I discovered I forgot my coupons for the Sizzler. So I turned the car around and returned home but I could only find one coupon for one meal. On the way back we ran out of gas about a half a mile from town. After she pushed the car I had to pass two gas stations because they wouldn't accept my discount stamps. All through the meal she didn't say a word and I thought she might be a little winded from pushing the car. She just sat there and watched me enjoy my steak. 1 told ner mat l nao. only one coupon and if she wanted to she could go buy her own steak. After I finnished my steak I asked the waiter for the newspaper. We selected a nice movie at the drive-in. After the movie she told me she didn't enjoy the mov ie at all. I asked her why and she said that I could have at least let her out of the trunk. Then we went to the rodeo dance and waited outside until they stopped charging and went in. We danced and danced, finally the dance ended and she asked me to please take her home, and would you please help her out of the car because I about smashed all her toes during the dance It's been quite a w hile since I've heard from her and I wonder w hy. She never answers my messages and w hen 1 call they say she is out. I just can't figure it out. EDITOR'S NOTE Spilyay Tymoo welcomes articles and letters from its readers.

We go from day-today criticizing every move made in our entire organization, but when its time to make suggestions or recommendations no one is willing to speak up. The main concern seems to focus on our employment system, wages and the personnel hired. We criticize our leadership when things go bad and never give recognition when it is due. We lack interest to attend district meetings and the turn out for general council meetings is very poor. We're not exercising our rights as tribal members to offer our support to our leadership with encouragement and sugges tions. They are more then willing Hugo Zuniga, all of Kennewick, were cited in an area near the Ringold Salmon Hatchery in Franklin County for illegal gill netting. June 26, 1986 David Sohappy, Jr. and Andy Sohappy of Cooks Landing were cited in that area for gillnetting illegally. Oregon State Police officials issued no commercial citations during the month of June. The preceding information was supplied by the Columbia River Law Enforcement Committee.

Head Start looking for handicapped children Warm Springs Head Start is looking for handicapped preschool children to participate in their pro gram. Handicapped children are being enrolled to use the full range of Head Start program areas; educa tion, health, parent involvement and social services. When handicapped and non-handicapped children play and learn together, it gives all children a valuable experience in learning to understand and respect differences among people. In the program, a handicapped child is encouraged to think less about his disability and more about his strengths as he relates to other children. By learning and playing v ith children w ho are not handicap ped, the child improves his self image, overall development and sense of belonging. Head Start staff are trained to w ork w ith a variety of handicapping conditions; mentally retarded; hard of hearing: deaf; speech and language impaired; visually impaired: blind; memorial gives strength means a lot to me.

Wahpat and Family and daughter Jo Ann are shuttling back and forth across the mountains to be with her as much as possible. We know that Alice appreciates all the people who have visited, called, sent cards and flowers, and offered prayers. It means so much during those hours, days, and weeks so far from home. Typically, we let people know we care in the first days after a medical crisis, but it's the long, lonely recovery period when they need the most support. Alice's address is: Sacred Heart Hospital, 1200 Alder St.. Eugene, Oregon 97401. She'd love to hear from you.
