E Coosh EEWA "Spityay It ries. It is a tradition that is handed down tor generations and will continue in the future. As they say, "As long as the mountains stand and the rivers run." With such a low snow fall this year a drought is expected. The lack of snow in the higher mountains will limit the amount of water flow during the summer. With the water level appearing to be far below normal, a dry season is expected which is a sign for high fire danger. Last season we had more than our share of fires here in the Northwest and the way things look it will be just as bad this year again. Sometimes conditions like this cause logging to be cut down to a minimum or closed completely which puts a hardship on the loggers and mill workers. The low water level puts a hardship on several things, not enough water or irrigation, or for fishato migrate to the spawning ground. This even puts hardship on water use in communities for lawns, washing cars and even laundry makes the Te-La-Ta-Le kinda She-Shoo. YIKES...But what the heck, summer is coming and the living is easy.

We also want to thank everyone who helped us through the years of her life, including the families of people who have passed on. There were many years of happ iness for Elizabeth. She recalled her years of growing up at Kah-Nee-Ta with her grandmother. She also recalled the days of celebra tion and thanksgiving. She loved to see her people, and everyone should feel good that they could be a part of her happiness. There are stories of the times at Hollywood, and we should never forget the feel ing of community that was there at that time. We should always feel our community in that way. My Grandmother loved the land, , the animals and family. There are many people who live without the security of having a family, or a place to call a homeland.- We are indeed fortunate to have each of these things. Elizabeth Pitt made her place a home for many people during her younger days. She took care of each of us through her days with great responsibility and gui dance. Her prayers and teachings carried us through difficulties. She and all the old people, who are old now, went through some difficult times. They worked hard to keep for us what we now have. n u be remembered as well as all the;j(WA)to old timers, who have gone on to the land of living, eternal light. We in turn must endure and live our lives right so we can see our loved ones, innocent person could be hurt To the Editor, It seems sometime all that used to matter was knowing as long as you knew you weren't doing any thing wrong it was okay. I don't claim to be a saint or anything, I had my share of mess ups. I think just about once in eve rybodys life they tried one or the other.

Especially the young people like myself, Elizabeth Woody and Jolcne Pitt. We know that it is easy in this day and age to think only of today and ourselves. The history of our people is our history and is very much a part of who we are, no , matter where we are. or how alone we may feel at times. It is a comfort to know that there is a force that is indestructible and eternal. This all is in our blood and the land. The funeral services brought us comfort.
