"Whew," now that the holidays are past wc can all settle back
and get ready for the new year. There has been so much commo
tion everywhere these past few weeks with the presidential elec
tion, Christmas shopping, the New Year events and all, kept
everyone on the go.
With 1989, fresh underway, a new administration taking office,
so let's hope for the best. The inauguration will take place in a few
days and the show will get under way: What s in the script no one
knows yet. Let s just hope there won t be any re-runs of the oldies,
because some things that happened we could have done without
last year.
Let's face it, whoever gets in office, no matter at what level.
everyone is never satisfied. There are always controversies in wha
tever takes place. Sometimes people are not satisfied with things or
people but when are replaced they sometimes regret what they
have done.
Everyone points toward political moves today, where everyone
is trying to get a foothold, or their foot in the door, so to speak.
This starts right from ground level and right to the top in any
organization. And this is a very critical time of the year as the new
administration readies to take
office. There are things that are
shaping up right now around
here that could stir some atten
tion. Our resources, both human
and natural need close watch
ing. The economy is so uncer
tain at all times where it keeps
people wondering what's next
for us. In any situation some-
ones toes are stepped on for
someone to get what he wants.
In the past there were several
things that were against us, like
the drought last summer, un
employment which leads to the
use of alcohol and drugs. As
they say, "There are better times
ahead," but that's not doing us
any good at the present.
There is a choice

To the community of Warm Springs
The spiritual communities below
wish to speak to you about life and
living it.
It is not the way of the Creator,
our Lord, for us to be under the
influence of booze, (beer, wine,
hard stuff or mixed drinks); during
the day or night, during the week
or weekend. It is not the Creator's
way for being Indian, White, or a
human being.
It is not the way of the Creator,
our Lord, to eat, shoot, sniff, or
smoke drugs that do nothing for
the body, mind or spirit. It is not
the Creator's way for being Indian,
White, or a human being.
It is not the way of the Creator,
our Lord, for us to abuse drugs
that are given to help the body and
mind. It is not the Creator's way
for being Indian, White, or a human
being.
It is not the way of the Creator,
our Lord, to think so little of our
selves by what others say to us that
we would try to kill ourselves. It is
not the Creator's way for being
Indian, White, or a human being.
It is not the way of the Creator,
our Lord, to allow deep anger to
rise in us to cause us to hit, burn,
punch, or kick our children, wives,
husbands, mothers, or fathers. It is
not the Creator's way for being
Indian, White, or a human being.
It is not the way of the Creator,
our Lord, to treat our wives, and
husbands as things to be used. It is
not the Creator's way, for being
Indian, White, or a human being.
IT IS THE LORD, OUR
CREATOR'S way to believe in
Him. It is the Creator's way for ,
being Indian, White, and a human
being.
IT IS THE LORD, OUR
CREATOR'S way that we would
love each other, respect each other,
and give honor to those who deserve
it. It is the Creator's way for being
Indian, While, and a human being.
IT IS THE LORD, OUR
CREATOR'S way to know in our
time of anger, pride, and pain that
He is there to help us or even do for
us what must be done to live. It is
the Creator's way for being Indian,
White, and a human being.
There is a choice in the land. The
many wonderful, powerful, and
loving ways of our Lord, our Crea
tor; or a choice of being the living
dead, helping others to live in death,
before death comes.

Great start!
To the Editor,
Hey, hey, Warm Spring. Con
gratulations are in order! A New
Year's weekend has come and gone.
And the stories of the reservation
of a drunk on every street corner
did not happen. Yes, people drank,
like in other towns; yet we had no
firey car crashes from which to pull
bodies. Or the drunk tank with 100
men in it.
My thanks to the Warm Springs
Police who did a great job looking
for drunk drivers.
My thanks to Fire and Safety
who had to wait for the worst, yet
did not have to deal in blood.
Finally, my thanks to everyone
who made themselves the "sober
person to drive. Or chose to keep
the party home. Thanks Warm
Springs for a great start for 1989.
mittee, appreciate you as parents
and encourage you to call the school
when you have questions and com
ments. We especially want you to
as much as possible. I he more
amount students read relates sig-'
nificantly to gains in educational
achievement.

To the family of Hazel Suppah
My sincerest condolences in the

funerals and their other visits to i
Warm Springs. They especially
enjoyed the Indian food that she
would share with them.
Once again, my deepest sym-;
pathy. Your loss will also be felt 4

which included popcorn balls, candy
and fresh fruit.
The Mountain View Nursing

enjoying visits from Mrs. Horttor's
reading groups and the Madras
High School Key Club.
To my family, friends & relatives
I'm just writing an article in
regards to my mother, who is so
dearly loved by all.
I was home for a week and never
realized just what health conditions
my dear mom was suffering.
As a "very concerned daughter,"
I am asking if my family would be
more considerate towards our mom
and go and spend a few minutes of
your time and let her know she is
loved. She needs so much love and
support at this time, so if it's not
asking too much, drop by my mom's
home and see if she needs to go
anywhere, or needs anything done
around her home.
She would love to se her own
kids spend more time with her and
her grandchildren, whom she hardly
sees. I would love to see others hav
ing fond memories of her also, as I
do. I'd like to get one thing out in
the open for I don't want to get
anymore feedback or having anyone
put a guilt trip on me about our
moving away. I never ran away
from my reponsibilities as a daugh
ter. I'm only giving the others a
chance to spend time with our
mother. I have a responsibility to
go out and be a witness for our
Lord, Jesus Christ.
There's so many lost souls out
there who really need the Lord. I,

myself have really grown "spiritu
ally" since moving over here to Mt.
Vernon. I'd love to be able to say
we'd all meet once again but I'd by
lying. You need to turn your life
around and accept the Lord as
your Personal Savior if you want
eternal life. But again, back to my
concerns for my mother. Would
you, as family and relatives, please
do Mom and I a favor and stop in
and giver her a hug and a helping
hand? I'd appreciate it very, very
much. Let her know you care,
while she is still with us.
And one final statement, Please
don't take advantage of her kind
ness by going up to her home just
when you need money. She gives a
lot, but nothing comes back to her.
Thank you ever so much for tak
ing the time to read this article and
hope we get a lot of good response
back. I'm praying for a good report
back after this!!
"God bless each and everyone of
you on the Rez"
